Doesn’t stop your manager from requiring support for the other 4%.

You make it sound like this doesn’t happen frequently.

Most new books I find are books I check out from my local library. While the library did pay for a copy, so it’s not quite the same, as a reader I didn’t pay anything for it. The barrier to trying the new book is very small, and if I don’t like it I haven’t lost anything.

Readers finding your book online for free are having the same experience. Maybe not everyone who reads it will want to buy copies, but some will. Just like how some who find your book in a library would want to buy their own copy.

The tools will be fairly specific to the game you’re hacking. For example, a lot of tools exist for GBA Pokemon games, but something like porymap won’t work for another game.

It’s like saying someone stole your bike and you don’t want to be immoral by stealing it back.

The problem they’re addressing is that some sites they were scraping from have begun instituting measures to stop them. The site went from working beautifully to working barely at all, with most sources either loading incredibly slowly or failing to load at all. I followed the discussions a bit on their discord, and it seems like the first recommendation was for users to host their own proxies. From what I see on the site’s initial splash, that still is one of the recommendations. I’m guessing they also rolled out the browser extension as an alternate method for users who don’t want to set up a proxy, since they were getting tons of people on thsir discord complaining about it being too hard or whatever.

But yeah, who knows if the extension is safe. The project is open source, so you can always examine it for yourself. But at that point you may as well just host your own proxy.

Edit: looked into it a bit more; the extension’s originally proposed purpose seems to be to get around CORS restrictions on certain sources. Seems the original proposal was here: https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/issues/581

oh my god you guys these are satirical

I’m guessing because there’s literally no penalty for it. May as well steal content to give you more interactions, if that’s what you’re after.

First 1/3rd is a bit of fluff but after that, good article.

Ah yes, the Wadsworth constant.

What does “FE” stand for in this context? Sorry if it’s obvious, I just don’t see anywhere that it’s actually written out.

I sure hope this is not how most CS courses are being taught

You gonna do Rust again?

I thought problem inputs were randomized for each user?

It’s been this way for years. Really?

This guy is a real veteran dumbass

Because people like this don’t care about making anything worthwhile, they just care about looking cool and getting Internet points.

What the hell are you talking about

Saw this posted on hackernews yesterday, along with hundreds of comments of people completely misunderstanding the advice given. Glad to not see any of that here.

Should be titled, “demotivating a programmer with a specific personality type.” Sure, some good programmer you know doesn’t value money; that doesn’t mean every skilled programmer won’t value it.
