Spectators don't watch the game on the same server that's hosting the game. The host server sends the traffic to a 'relay' on a delay, which spectators then connect to. Similarly for the HTTP streamed games, the game server is writing the data for spectators on a delay.

This absolutely still exists - I have a library for reading Source 2 (CS2, Deadlock etc) demo files and streams (HTTP ones like CSTV).

Just to add a piece of data to support this:
> It turns out the phone signal inside the station can be better than the one above ground
I was surprised when I noticed I had 5G in the tunnel, ran a speed test and hit 641Mbps down!

> the fact that Post Office Ltd has inherited the ability to prosecute crimes committed against itself
Any private citizen or business in the UK has a right to prosecute crimes. It just costs a lot of money, so you can imagine how it's used (spoiler: large companies/wealthy individuals against poor people).

This ultimately resulted in a new restriction in a bill making its way through Parliament that "a company must not be registered under this Act by a name that, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, consists of or includes computer code".
See page 16 of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill (https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/49554/documents/283...)

Worth noting that Hadolint[1] raises warnings the issues mentioned in the article. Some examples of warnings:
- https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3007: Using latest is prone to errors if the image will ever update. Pin the version explicitly to a release tag. - https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3013: Pin versions in pip. - https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/wiki/DL3018: Pin versions in apk add.

On Linux, .NET does write ANSI escape sequences to stdout for you. ConsolePal.Unix.cs (Pal in this context referring to 'platform abstraction layer') does the work for you behind the scenes: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/10eb1a9ff1c09de4a2a1f...

I believe this tweet has been twisted from the original tweet, which is that _cross origin_ alert (e.g. from an iframe) is the thing being removed. Using alert etc from the main frame will continue to work.

iCloud Private Relay, coming in iOS 15, does appear to be native IPv6. I wonder if this will have a noticeable effect on IPv6 adoption stats when it's released to the public[1]?

I have several years of full-time F# experience and I’ve also made some contributions to the F# support for Rider.
1. As part of my job I flip between C# and F# often and with each new release of Rider the IDE-support gap between them is closing. Obviously C# has many more years of attention and work on its tooling, but there are very few things I yearn for when editing F# code nowadays. I also find Rider far better to use than VS Code for F#, simply because I’m so comfortable with JetBrains’s IDEs now.
2. Any time I have to model anything remotely complex in C# I always wish I was doing it in F# instead. Features like discriminated unions, exhaustive pattern matching and immutability-by-default immediately spring to mind.
