preciousoo··on Anticheat Update Tracking
Funny how the most advanced anti cheat just gives version info and executables in one nicely human friendly package. No need for gimmicks when you the work speaks for itself

fwiw I couldn't find the endpoint in question for vanguard, but I did find for all the riot games

preciousoo··on Airpass – Easily overcome WiFi time limits
Thanks!
preciousoo··on Second study finds Uber used opaque algorithm to dramatically boost profits
Holy shit. I’ve also been similarly creeped out by this behavior as well, and did the same setting changes as the original commenter. This comment made me remember I signed up for a Delta/Lyft promo way back in college. In my case in explicitly signed up to link both accounts, but I wonder if they have other methods
preciousoo··on Airpass – Easily overcome WiFi time limits
Is this possible on mobile (read iPhone) devices without root?
preciousoo··on Rust compiler performance
Oh this is amazing, looks simple to set up too. Thanks!

What’s stopping cargo from storing libraries in one global directory(via hash or whatever), to be re-used whenever needed?
preciousoo··on Square Theory
If you use TikTok, search up “to the untrained ear”. You’d love those. Maybe they’re on YouTube too
preciousoo··on My Engineering Craft Regressed
Fully agreed, but without seeing his actual projects, who can say?
preciousoo··on My Engineering Craft Regressed
Best case scenario they were thinking of that one person (0.01% er) who worked on a project that absolutely wowed them. But then even the homebrew creator couldn’t get his foot in the door
preciousoo··on My Engineering Craft Regressed
How much (in dollars) do you think the contributors of ffmpeg have made due to their work on the project? How much (in dollars) has that project contributed to the media ecosystem? The correlation is probably off by several orders of magnitude

I don’t know how to articulate properly it but the comment in the parent is a response does not address the specific essay. Maybe the writer had another, related essay in mind but nothing they respond to is present in the essay I just read
preciousoo··on Ask HN: Is There a "Hacker News" for Economics?
thank you!
preciousoo··on Ask HN: Is There a "Hacker News" for Economics?
oh I'm very familiar, I don't think I'll me be making a comment for a couple years. Good call though!

edit: unsure how to browse this, with SO I'd search a question, or look for questions that needed answering. I guess I'll go by top questions, but I was more looking for discourse types of sites

preciousoo··on Burrito Now, Pay Later
From what I've heard in passing, debit cards used to, but then some law made it regulatory or financially (again I've only heard in passing) hard for companies to keep offering that
preciousoo··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
By "isn't trivial", I mean that takes real effort on the user end to bypass (as they can't simply take screenshots in traditional methods). Bad choice of word on my end
preciousoo··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
And also gives legal teams more foundation to stand on, bypassing this isn't trivial so it shows real intent
preciousoo··on Ty: A fast Python type checker and language server
CI/CD products most likely, or something more futuristic in that line
preciousoo··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
What’s the use of being miles ahead if you’re traveling in the wrong direction?
preciousoo··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
If the VS Code team are delivering the product, I have some amount of trust. If it’s the VS team, good luck to everyone involved
preciousoo··on A new form of verification on Bluesky
Users can then choose to subscribe or unsubscribe from a Trusted Verifier, if one starts to act in an unsavory manner. That a Verifier exists doesn’t mean people have to use it
preciousoo··on A new form of verification on Bluesky
Why not let users pick their own Trusted Verifiers?
preciousoo··on Generate autounattend.xml files for Windows 10/11
you can also do ipconfig /release in some contexts (works in hyperv but never in the real world for some reason sigh)
preciousoo··on Show HN: Duolingo-style exercises but with real-world content like the news
This is nice!
preciousoo··on Blender releases their Oscar winning version tool
Taking the feedback about UI seriously was probably huge
preciousoo··on The Wright brothers invented the airplane, right? Not if you're in Brazil
FWIW when I was an aerospace major, one of the first lessons in “fundamentals of flight” as the class was named, was about the race to flight that was heating up around the time of the Wright brothers. But this was in an aerospace class, so I guess it’s less relevant. Never heard about the Brazilian guys though
preciousoo··on The Lost Art of Research as Leisure
I mean, the whole predator/prey paradigm proves this, no? Both sides will act sneaky and use crafty mechanisms to get ahead of each other
preciousoo··on Forget Twitter threads and write a blog post instead (2021)
The amount of people that use RSS for podcasts is incredibly tiny
preciousoo··on NASA Successfully Acquires GPS Signals on Moon
"We" wont, until some generation figures it out

preciousoo··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
Good old security by full data disclosure. Are you available for CISO positions by any chance? Your methods are revolutionary
