bunnybender··on Reverse engineering Call of Duty anti-cheat
> Also I wish more "good" hackers were in games, like the guy in GTA Online I ran into once who was shooting me with a money machine gun because Rockstar are greedy assholes.

Eh? Rockstar doesn't force you to buy Shark Cards, and everyone has gotten 11 years worth of DLCs for free. Making in-game money IS an essential part of the game. You also don't have to purchase every single vehicle or other item the game offers.

During my years of playing, I've met only a few cheaters who weren't complete douchebags (though some of them did act that way towards other players). I consider the "good" cheater to be a myth.

The original author has both written about and given presentations about CRDTs.

bunnybender··on Rumors of GTA online exploits allowing remote code execution on gamer PCs
Yes it still works, but that is quite normal and fine, actually. The game's lobbies/sessions are based on peer-to-peer, so obviously when you cut connections to other players you will get to play by yourself (in other words, you are just "kicking" yourself out of the current session). Someone could join your "solo" session at any time, it just isn't very likely, as the game's services usually find more populated sessions for everyone.

Then again, nowadays you can play the game without restrictions in invite-only and friends sessions, too.

bunnybender··on Guide to modern Object Pascal for programmers
I started programming "for real" with Turbo Pascal (5.5 probably) while in high school. It was easy to copy it for personal use from there. Although later I actually went and bought Borland Pascal 7.0, a big and fairly expensive box with the disks and lots of books inside. I think I wanted it to be able to create Windows applications, but ended up hating Windows, so really only utilized a little of its potential..

bunnybender··on Reasons to love SQLAlchemy
There is also Ascetic (https://bitbucket.org/emacsway/ascetic), which looks pretty minimal. So far I've been keeping it simple and have only been using SQLBuilder (https://bitbucket.org/emacsway/sqlbuilder) by the same author.
