Are they any longer? Murderbot is a nice read, but it feels like really expensive short stories.

By the time the book gets going, it's already over.

To be fair, Warcraft does need a remaster.

Have you tried replaying it? You can't even RMB to move units, you need to click the move icon then select where.

Warcraft 2 does not (imho), and last time I tried it, Warcraft 2 BNE still worked just fine, so that's probably getting shut down now.

Thanks! That made it a lot more useable again.

It's been the absolute worst experience since updating.

You submitted this 9 hours ago as "I built a brutally honest Dating Profile Rater, an..."

And now you just happened to "discover" this profile rater?

> The influencers, the biggest athletes and musicians are marketing it

The government is marketing it.

Public concerts hosted by the municipality will have gambling ads posted all over, sponsored by the latest scam.

Sample size: Alagoas/Pernambuco. Cannot say anything about the gambling ads in the other states.

I absolutely cannot imagine singing karaoke without alcohol.

Alcohol certainly does not preclude it.

> For some reason free customers are the most demanding

Ever try giving something away for free on an online marketplace?

If not, don't. Always charge something. Even if you'll just tell them afterwards you don't actually want/need the money.

You'll run into the worst people imaginable on the internet.

> I don't think it's unreasonable for people to expect cloudflare to be policing their own service for malware when they're trying to pitch themselves as a security product.

But you're not the customer, you're the consumer.

Are they pitching themselves as safer for the consumer?

I thought the ads were bad enough, but my Samsung TV will start lagging and freezing when it's connected to the internet.

Had to buy an AppleTV (box), factory reset the TV, and use the AppleTV to stream to my TV over HDMI.

TV worked fine when I first got it, but after updates and internet it just became completely useless if left to it's own.

Start off by searching for "yx" or "xy".

Then do your actual search.

If you're going for image search, do the yx/xy text search first, then you go over to images.

That'll (for some reason) never give you a captcha.

"Secure" is relative.

I have a system I use where you enter your email and get a one-time code.

The goal in that system is not to securely authenticate you, merely to identify you. "Good enough" for the use case.

> but what about hardware that's already here? (I'm also Brazilian)

It's ridiculously expensive.

Very little hardware is produced domestically, and the little that is, you don't want to be running your switches on what is in essence a no-name "intelbras" brand.

BigFixedDecimal? Sounds like yet another java naming pitfall.

> how could that possibly happen?

Global singleton shared across requests, instead of request scoped.

1. [Client 1/You] Auth/write to variable (failed).

2. [Client 2/ISP] Auth/write to variable (success).

3. Verify what the result was (success)

A race condition combined with a global singleton can easily explain such behavior.

Was the correct answer related to cache invalidation?
