Depending on whether this code is in a hotpath (and considering how "elementary" it is, I figure that's a possibility), this could very well be a significant speed improvement.

Though I'd say that only excuses it if it's truly an elementary function (and not one line as part of a larger function), as otherwise it's unreadable garbage. But on its own it:

  • has a clear purpose
  • (presumably) isn't reimplementing functionality
  • is easily tested
  • can be modified with no side effects (besides breaking your calendar, but that's beside the point)

This honestly a very well-written article

From the top of this thread, Valve was suggested as a candidate for someone who might already be interested in these things, perhaps to the point of invested into each of those.

Or maybe they don't. Maybe nobody does.

People can speculate and dream. Nobody's speaking authoritatively here, and certainly nobody is petitioning that Linus himself get down and dirty in anti-cheat functionality.

Or here's a revolutionary thought: let people voluntarily (and reversably) opt-in to kernel-level anti-cheats.

Part of freedom is the freedom to choose.

I hesitate to ask, but, why do you have your IP change every minute? You seem to have a very atypical usecase

It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".

Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".

"I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"

Etc.

Session network binding on its own seems pretty damn basic.

I actually bought the second edition of Mastering Nim paperback the other day! Should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully.

I had fun dogfooding my interview problem in it, I feel like it's basically step forward as far as modern syntaxes go.

I think said lonely people would rather chat with a boring therapist than with assholes on the internet who don't even make the slightest attempt to empathize

Unfortunately if you let Junior play in legacy code once, it'll learn some nasty habits and make more of it from scratch, usually when you're trying to sleep.
