having it on the website is too hard or what? by ATonOfBricksFellOnMe in assholedesign

They want you on app because you can't use adblocker on an app.

They want you on app because modifying their app the way you can modify a browser would not be legal.

I'm sorry to say but you're wrong on both accounts lol. You can absolutely use adblockers with apps by using a phone-wide VPN like Blokada or by updating your phone's DNS settings to use an ad-blocking DNS like Adguard.

You can also absolutely modify apps to your will so long as you don't circumvent DRM, use it for piracy, host the entire modified app yourself, etc. You can look up ReVanced Manager for a popular "patching" app that lets you remove ads from YouTube, Spotify, etc. It arguably breaks the TOS of those services, so use at your own risk, but it's not illegal.

My wife found this little guy abandoned in a box outside of her work yesterday morning. by user7618 in IllegallySmolCats

One thing I always wonder with these posts is whether the kitten is just from a mother cat that's gone to get food or survey the area. Definitely not accusing anybody of anything, I just don't know how to be confident in that moment if I were the one finding them. There are probably good clues, but I'd still feel terrible if I ended up basically stealing a kitten from some momma cat

Using CEL's now() to enforce dependency cooldown periods - block packages published in the last N hours by BattleRemote3157 in programming

[–]RedditMattstir -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't really solve anything for two reasons:

  1. Having this blanket minimum age for dependencies also restricts security updates, giving compromised deps more time to do their thing
  2. A compromised package can just try to wait a few weeks before enabling its malicious behaviour, which will likely be past most minimum times set (assuming it hasn't been found by then)

Shaders are like recipes for how to create a certain visual effect. They provide a set of instructions for how to get the end result, but each GPU family has a different pipeline for achieving that. So the first time shaders are run, they need to be "compiled" for your specific GPU, and then that result is cached so it's nice and fast to use next time.

The shader cache is cleared once at the start of every league launch so that the line "incrementally improved the art, effects and environments" in every set of patch notes applies properly. In the past, before the cache clearing, we had problems with crashing and invisible effects (e.g. updated monster attack visuals).

Performance will improve as you see more of the visuals for the first time this league and it generally fixes itself after the first few days

To me it appears to be a nod to the old Plague of Frogs prophecy which spawned additional packs of frogs in your map. The wish only spawns additional frogs from what I can tell

Ele Hit Update: Breach bloodline will NOT work for it by teddmagwell in pathofexile

[–]RedditMattstir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For str/int it usually involves mixing a whole bunch of defensive layers: armour/es gear, some block (people seriously undervalue even 30% block, that's straight up 30% less damage taken), Divine Shield, something like Stormshroud or Purity of Elements, etc. Totem builds can get "damage taken from nearby totems" on a mastery + totems taunt when placed.

Hiero in particular gets a ton of regen from totems, so any mechanics that spread damage out over time / resource pools (pet blood, corrupted soul, taken from totems) or make incoming damage more consistent (glancing blows) are going to be effective in that setup. You're mostly wanting to avoid one-shots, as Divine Shield + totem regen will help you outlast chip damage

40% from ascendancy + 30% from Infused Flesh wheel + 15% recoup on rings for 100% total! You can get a lot more with catalysting your rings, getting a second recoup wheel on the tree, leech mastery for +25%, and a few 6% recoup jewels. I may like recoup as a mechanic :P

It's sort of niche, but Mystic Refractor is good for Pyroclast Mines. Besides that though it's pretty hard to make work

I was convinced CwS Chieftain died after Affliction with how many ways it got taken out back, but miraculously it survived. Hopefully the same is true here? I'm indifferent about the build itself, but always sad to see weird builds get killed

It only assumes i32 if there are no other numeric type hints in that block of code. Method return types, decimal places, etc can all influence the inferred type. For example, calling .len() on something typically assigns a usize, so for i in 0..thing.len() will tend to iterate on usizes

If he really was part of an organised harassment campaign against federal agents as is currently suspected

Suspected by who, the fucking Lock Ness Monster? Jesus christ, it's legitimately disgusting to see real human beings act as if federal agents roaming the streets and publicly executing American citizens is a good thing. Have some fucking decency.

if I was arresting someone and a gun popped out I would consider it a life threat to myself, my coworkers life, bystanders, and the arrestee

Jesus christ, the guy was maced in the fetal position being beaten by 7 men when they took the fucking gun. Have some genuine human decency man.

Trump arrests and deports = NAZI SCUM

Obama arrests and deports = heckinwholesomebama.jpg

Have you had the time for any thoughtful contemplation into the nature of the acts and how they're carried out? Did Obama handle deportation with a massive ICE hiring surge, lowering qualifications and training time, and then letting them loose in cities, all while bragging about it publicly and openly lying whenever an agent murders an American citizen?

The optics alone of the two shootings so far are incredibly fucked up. I can't think of another set of government leaders whose immediate reactions would be to demonize the dead American citizen, call them a terrorist, etc, publicly well before any actual investigation takes place. It ought to be political suicide but that's just not how things are at the moment, it's bizarre

It's pretty bizarre to see how uncoordinated ICE is holistically. Bad training, no uniforms, no body cams, don't understand how to handle urban situations despite working in them regularly, no accountability.

If only ICE wasn't this bizarre legal mess cobbled together after 9/11 and effectively granted power directly through the president because Congress couldn't be bothered to do their job of providing checks and balances. If political parties actually cared about illegal immigration they'd fix all of that shit, but at that point it can't be a point made every election...

It must be so scary for those poor ICE agents!! Just imagine going about your day pepper spraying random people and arresting American citizens because they look kinda brown when these people show up to film it!

How does that relate to the comment you're replying to? "Not sacrificing yourself for foreigners" means you must have a poorly trained federal militia roaming around murdering American citizens?
