I though “accessibility” in video games meant, like, color blind mode and shit.

They are exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to privileged information. Sounds hackery to me. It’s not their fault that Zuck made it easy.

We used to call that a “wish sandwich”.

If you’ve never thought about shooting someone, then on what basis can you even say that shooting someone is wrong?

Researchers found that the Pyramid of Khufu has a natural vibration frequency that differs sharply from the surrounding ground, helping reduce the risk of dangerous resonance during earthquakes.

The question I have is: how common or uncommon is this affect in other structures? Does this actually make the Great pyramid special?

There’s a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn’t humor, it’s recall.

Funerals are already celebrations of life. At least, every one that I have been to has been.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!

The most rigorous evidence comes from a 2018 whole-population study tracking nearly half a million children born in Western Australia between 1980 and 2001. Of those, 1,870 developed schizophrenia, but not one of the 66 children with cortical blindness did.

1,870 / 500,000 = 0.374% of people in the general population

0.374% * 66 = 0.25

Not particularly rigorous.

A lot of criticism here for numerical scores, but consider the popularity of tier list ranking videos. Maybe we should be ranking movies relative to one another. Not sure how that works as a UI though.

Once you go back far enough, everyone is related. Everyone alive today with European ancestry is a direct descendant of Charlemagne, for example.

Avellone bragging that his game’s code has security-through-spaghetti.

A lot of people here are happy to see others lose a freedom that they themselves were never going to exercise.

Wow, 2 months ago they were eating steak and lobster.

I’ve never understood why people get so excited about tax refunds, but this provides some context.
