I just installed Brave. Then I realized it doesn't allow Chrome extensions? I have so many ranging from email notifiers to cookie opt-outs to my own custom extensions for security …

eBay is only in the buyer's favor in terms of refunds. It doesn't actually go after fraudsters who refund you immediately to make you shut up after you call out their counterfeits …

What?

> I took function pointers as an example of why "supporting dynamic dispatch" is irrelevant for categorizing programming languages as OOP / not OOP. Again, like everywhere else in …

A lot of misunderstanding in what you wrote, but to comment on two parts: > Every languages that have some kind of function pointer allow this. It doesn't seem like you're reading …

No, it absolutely is not. OOP has lots of well-known unique characteristics such as inheritance, dynamic dispatch, polymorphism, encapsulation, etc... as well other less-frequently…

Is not saying hello when you see someone that you would normally be expected to say hello to not considered "rude"? It is to me, but it's not obnoxious...

> I mean, you could just never leave your house if you were concerned about safety. I'd take a 1/1000000 chance. I wouldn't take a 1/1000 chance. Get the point?

What I would be afraid of is if these folks work in groups and they hear about the one guy who dared to go after them. Then you might get one of them arrested but your life might b…

Would they pursue something like counterfeit software licenses or gift cards mailed via USPS, if the scale isn't as large (like <$100)? Asking since it's happened to me on smaller …

It sounds like we're agreeing? I was also saying, just like you, that the choice is not based on the statistics. The parent one is the one that used the statistic to justify the ch…

I don't think people think in terms of life expectancy. Do you? Is a 1% chance of dying on your next ride and otherwise living 100 years equivalent to not riding your bike and livi…

Safety concerns?

Does it bother them enough to get other police departments involved? I imagine no one they can arrest is within their jurisdiction...

"This required techniques sensitive enough to detect variations in the movement of the star as small as 30 centimeters per second." This kind of precision sounds insane. It sounds …

Sorry I meant I was looking for more like documentation on the product rather than implementation. Thanks though.

I'm wondering if this is more like "citizens do not have this right" rather than like "citizens do not, and should not, have this right". There is obviously nothing in the Constitu…

Any more reading on the Instart Logic tech detecting dev tools and hiding itself? I can't find much online.

What about the BCL, CLS, etc.?

Oh but how does that work? That's ~6 MB per game which sounds like just a list of actions rather than precomputed data per frame. Is it compressed somehow?

Oh I see, thanks, I didn't know. But man, 300 GB per game sounds completely nuts!
