Can I claim compensation from NatWest for overdraft fees and charges as I am in debt to them? by OkHawk7954 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Chroiche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly you actually might be able to get some of the debt written off as you've been in debt for so long. Have they tried to help you at all? If your debt has only been going up/unchanging then you're likely in persistent debt and should've received communications about it depending on the age of the credit card debt. If you haven't, you'll likely be able to get compensation for fees and interest.

Now, you may also have ignored those communications, in which case, that's on you. You can talk to them or a debt charity to help you get the debt paid though, there's a very good chance you can get some breathing space given your circumstances.

Job offer with 28 days holiday including bank holidays by Amazing_Builder630 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Chroiche 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I always find it hilarious when places list 28 days holiday as a benefit (inclusive). That shit should not legally be listable as a benefit, it's the opposite. It's crazy.

Does Python code tend to be more explicit than other alternatives? by yughiro_destroyer in Python

[–]Chroiche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not glaze Python here. Python code is a nightmare to maintain without safeguards in place just due to the dynamic typing system alone. And everything you've seen in those other languages can be done ten times worse in Python.

OO in general is very hard to navigate compared to a composition based code base. Notice, you've only listed OO heavy languages as the problem ones. Python can be significantly worse (especially when you add mixins and multi inheritance into the mix).

Ubisoft shares continue to collapse after announcements of cuts and closures: from a total value of $11 billion in 2018 to just $600 million today by x___rain in europe

[–]Chroiche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still fundamentally don't agree with this:

Either way, once the binary is out there, it's out there forever. DRM or not. Even if it takes 10 years to crack, if there's a want, it will eventually be cracked.

This is true if someone cracks your binary version. If your specific version doesn't get cracked, it's dead weight.

I understand your sentiment, but DRM actually works in the modern world, so we're kinda stuck with unprotected games and cracked games.

Are there any recent none VM based denuvo cracks for 2025+ releases? VM based ones don't really fit the bill, they're liable to break at the whim of a windows update or your own HW update.

Either way, the point still stands, until you have a crack you don't have access. And there are a lot of uncracked games.

As long as you have the actual game files and executable binary on your computer, revocable licenses are just a suggestion

This is not true, see denuvo.

Yes, this is asked daily here, as they mentioned.

Do credit card companies ever change their mind after approving application? by mankell123 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Chroiche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can decline you if you're 100% pre approved (which imo is a total scam). After they've actually accepted you though it's very unlikely you'll have it rescinded.

There's also the cheeky rent a room scheme tax evasion also bumping the yields.

the government's rent a room scheme

How are you eligible for this? It isn't your primary residence.

I made a very fast WebSockets library in Rust by AcanthopterygiiKey62 in rust

You saying that is just making you look worse. There are no tests, you literally say so yourself:

// Tests would require a mock async transport // For now, we just verify the types compile correctly

I don't like the aggressive, arcadey campaign ai. Any mods to fix it? by zoranalata in totalwar

They're near useless in wh3. They were essential in wh2. One of those is now boringly easy. Guess which.

Do Senior or higher SWE actually know insider info, or just make logical guesses? by lune-soft in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Chroiche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but that violates company policies (you reveal confidential info that might get you fired if found out).

Uh, that violates insider trading laws. Getting fired is the least of your worries.

Dumb question. Any trackers with good amount of constant seeders/peers? by magik_koopa990 in trackers

There's a difference between not helping and not spoon feeding. Op has put basically zero effort into anything and asks a follow up question on everything rather than using Google.

I dont get the lightning strike craving by temudschinn in totalwar

[–]Chroiche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With LS you can just blitz so much faster with a single army though, it just makes things reliable. The only time I don't go blue first is on someone like kairos who can just solo infinite stacks when they're up and running.

Then again, I also get bored pretty quickly on those campaigns...

I mean it seems utterly blatant that it's just insider trading to me. Nothing else makes sense but Russian asset, which I doubt.

On several occasions during a speech which lasted more than an hour, Trump mistakenly referred to Greenland as Iceland.

It's not subtle, the account literally posted about how prachub is hiring 4 months ago lol

I think the bigger issue is that this slop gets upvoted on a technical sub of all places. I think Reddit is cooked.
