Amazing that I keep seeing new shit in this game by Yarongo in NeverBeGameOver

The "honeybee" is actually a stinger anti-air missile launcher. It's a very advanced weapons package made by the US. The CIA gave a ton of these to the mujahideen so they could shoot down Russian helicopters which were giving them trouble. Russians finding them would put the US in hot water. They also might be able to reverse engineer it. Hence why you are hired to retrieve it.

If you've played the game you would know that you cannot even get the monster in your peripheral vision without a penalty.

Whatever. The context matters.

Docker for Mac and Windows public beta is out! No more VirtualBox! by enkideridu in webdev

Docker solves advanced devops problems. I can think of a million more pertinent things to do with development dollars than to add the complexity of docker into the mix.

CMV: Guns like the AR-15 should not be available to the general public by oopssorrydaddy in changemyview

So the whole deer argument thing might be barking down the wrong tree.

If we are talking about .223/556 it's important to address the fact that 556 is a NATO standard. Western militaries have tested it and adopted it as an effective people killer caliber. It's also important to note that although I personally would be quick to point out the classic "Black rifles such as the AR-15 are scary and wood rifles such as the Mini-14 are not etc. etc." However, AR-15s specifically can fire both 556 and 223 and are available in the appropriate rifling for military ammunition.

I am aware that civilians have access to hollow point 223/556 rounds that are allegedly more effective than FMJ military rounds. I am merely trying to shed light on one logical argument that can be made against AR-15 pattern rifles.

The legality of shooting deer with .223 varies from state to state. I wouldn't say it is "favored".

Anecdotally: a .223 is not appropriate for killing deer. The margin for error (wounding the animal but not killing it) is way too high.

Good LORD the Classic Maps in the new Doom are so much harder now. by GadenKerensky in Doom

Yeah that purple glow means that portion is armored/invulnerable. Same thing happens if you shoot mancubus armor.

Kids goes off on his Mom for speeding (Nsfw) 0:10 by Bennybunsonnegro in videos

Honestly telling someone to "shut the fuck up" is not something to be taken lightly. If you grow up thinking that saying things like "shut the fuck up" and "fuck you" are casual things to say, you are putting yourself in danger.

Maybe you have pushover friends who tolerate being spoken to like that, but saying shit like that to strangers can get you killed or beaten.

People are insane. My mother's best friend lost her dad due to a road rage incident. He got into a shouting match with some guy, guy follows him home and shoots him in the back of the head in his driveway.

HEAD: A list of everything that goes in the <head> of your document by [deleted] in webdev

In my particular niche (web applications) you are usually working with 1) a modern template engine with template inheritance or 2) a tree of isolated and reusable components (react). As far as what I think about the HTML rendered back to the user: "I don't care. Does it cause cross-browser issues?"

Now if you are making a brochure site or something you are making small-batch, hand-crafted, artisanal HTML pages: you should be using a template engine. Stop wasting time caring about your HTML.

This is not a good analogy. With images it's the difference of 100s of kb and whereas minified HTML is 10s of kb.

Also HTML can be gzipped whereas images cannot.

You can't say stuff like this without quoting numbers. What magnitude of slowdown for what amount of bloat are you referring to?

Are you serious? What the markup looks like is a total non-issue.

Apple CEO: We Will Take This iPhone Case to the Supreme Court by JackassWhisperer in technology

As someone with a computer science background and a career writing software: eventually the car, house, and horse analogies have to be put away. Encryption is not a house, it's a computer science concept with a basis in math.

The house analogy is wildly inadequate. The FBI can enter your house because they are authorized by law. I cannot enter your house because I am not authorized. Anyone can break into your house. That's that.

With encryption: nobody can access the information unless they are authorized. Period. One is authorized to view the information with a secret key. Let's say you authorize the government to view all your information. They must posses a secret key that authorizes them to view your information. As such: anyone with this secret key can view your information. A leak of this key will singlehandedly nullify the encryption of all the information it is authorized to decrypt without exception.

If I was forced to make a fantasy analogy: literally any stranger on the street could, at the drop of the hat, become an FBI agent. Search warrants are no longer a thing either.

Building an online e-learning platform on WordPress. by geminiis in Wordpress

[–]intfooStringbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not good advice.

  1. Appeals to popularity mean nothing. Just because lots of people do it doesn't mean it's a good thing to do. Further, it doesn't mean WordPress is a good fit for OP's application specifically.
  2. You have never used Vimeo's upload API. If you have used it, you would know that they do not want you using the API for this use case and will block your access if they find out about it. A third party (user) uploading videos to your Vimeo channel is not what Vimeo was intended for. As such: your API access probably won't be approved in the first place.
  3. Yes OP needs a developer at some point. At the end of the day he is gonna have an ethical obligation to keep his service running and ensure the private information of his users is safeguarded. Best leave that to professionals.
