While I get what you are saying, it seems weird from the standpoint of the other player since they have been out of the engagement area for 1+ seconds. It still seems to me that you would want some sort of cap on the rollback period.

I use the reliable mode for sending client inputs to the server: the server needs to be able to recalculate the state of the game reliably, and it's not acceptable for some client inputs to get “lost”. This may cause a bit of latency, and a bit more work for the server, which will have to “rewind” the game a bit further if an input arrives very late, but that's the price to pay for a stable game.

Maybe I’m missing something, but wouldn’t you either want the input to drop or the rewind to not happen at some point? If my network is extremely laggy when I’m playing a multiplayer game I would expect that my attempt to hit an opponent wouldn’t still succeed 1+ seconds later when they have already moved and are no longer in a position to be hit.

But if they are doing accessibility they have to create alt text for the icons anyway and that needs to be translated. So the only i18n complexity left would the ltr vs rtl languages and depending on how you place the text they wouldn’t need to really change the layout to accommodate both.

Why does the folder color matter? Is it just because that is what you are used to from a specific OS?

Color helps for some people but when making an accessible design you have to account for color blindness and other vision issues. Which means the icon needs enough contrast and can’t rely on just color to convey meaning, unless the icon is paired with a text label that also conveys the meaning the color was trying to convey.

So while I agree that color iconography can be extremely helpful for the average user, unless it is supplemented by other techniques it can make a product completely unusable for a subset of users

I don’t agree that it is obvious that it is more interesting or deep. I have played a lot of hours of Threes and it is mildly more complex because the tiles only move 1 square at a time, but in my opinion that doesn’t actually make it more interesting or deep.

My understanding is that you are correct. If the repo and all of its forks stay private then the only people that would be able to view them are people who have permissions to access those repos.

A red reset button appears in the top right of the cards after you slide the slider.

One of the best ways to affect this is to make complaints to the CFPB. They are the regulatory body that is responsible for making sure the credit bureaus aren’t harming consumers

Those types of suits generally hinge on proving malicious intent

I had a similar issue with people ignoring my availability at my previous company. I just started declining meetings. It forced people to either decide they didn’t need me in the meeting or they would reschedule it

Bing didn’t even release it in the main flow. It is a separate tab within bing like images or maps. So Google could have done a similar thing

While yes a lot of music is based on prior art there are levels of that and there is a lot of case law on what doesn’t break copyright. There is a lot of music that steals from classical but that is public domain. There are rules about how much of a riff from a copyrighted song you can borrow before it becomes copyright infringement and you owe the original writer royalties. Music also has a lot of standard conventions that lead to similar conclusions at least if you are using western music theory since that is based on western classical music.

So an amount of this deals with scale and the copyright status of the prior art.

A lot of the APIs that allow for things like starring projects have been around for a long time. Before GitHub introduced an official mobile app there were a number of unofficial mobile apps that used those types of APIs to give users a “fully functional” GitHub app.

I would say though that if GitHub is allowing requests like that through the API then they should be banning the API token and the account it was issued to if it uses the API maliciously

How do you compare to products that seem to do similar things such as PingID (https://www.pingidentity.com/en.html)?

I hear what you are saying, but I think this comment in conjunction with the parent comment speak to the bigger issue which is how do you make something easy for both IT and the end user? Yes, a solution like this may make it easier for IT to set things up and support their users but I have had the same experience as OP with similar products at companies I’ve worked at. Logging into a system now means I have to find my phone, unlock it, open the app, scan the code, and provide a biometric (or passcode) again. That’s if everything goes smoothly I might be prompted to change my phone’s password if I’m using a company phone with a password change policy, something might happen with a redirect or the app. Now I’m completely out of the zone of what I was working on.

Or I can have SSO or a password manager and be logged-in in less time then it takes me to grab my phone. As an end user I would much prefer the latter.

I greatly appreciates knowing just how bad things can be, sometimes for no reason.

How do you know that the people posting about problems they had for “no reason” are being honest and not disingenuous? They could be leaving out key facts or straight up making up a story that they feel will gain enough traction for it to end up on the front page.

A Stripe employee replied elsewhere that they have been looking into the poster’s case for the past 24 hours and it isn’t straight forward. So either Stripe is lying or the poster was getting support but they didn’t like the way things were going or maybe they felt they weren’t getting support because Stripe was taking a few days to respond because they were investigating the situation.

We have no way of knowing the truth. Stripe and/or the poster could be lying or they could be telling the truth or the truth could be somewhere in between. And we will never know what the reality of the situation is.

I’m really not trying to be provocative, I’m just trying to figure out why in situations like this HN seems to take the complaints at face value. At least that’s what I’ve seen. If people have examples of complaints like this not being taken at face value by HN I’d love to see them.

It is precisely because I use it every day that I use VSCode. As much as I like some of the features of JetBrains IDEs I have also had more headaches with them than VSCode. For example at my previous employer our dev machines weren’t great and I routinely needed to have multiple projects open at once. If I tried doing that in IntelliJ it would make my computer basically unusable. When I gave up and used VSCode for all of my projects I was able to have all the projects I needed open without any issues and without really losing any productivity. If JetBrains IDEs were lighter on the system I would consider switching back to them, but honestly at this point I don’t see a benefit in switching back.

I had a similar experience. My cryptography professor regularly linked to Wikipedia articles in his assignments as the reading to go with the assignment. Honestly, the last time I had a teacher really say something against using Wikipedia was in high school.

I don’t believe Georgia taxes software sales (specifically software sold online by out of state companies).

There is no Federal sales tax in the US. As it is a lot of US states don’t tax software. I have seen companies handle this in a couple ways. Some have actually moved to collecting tax for the jurisdictions where they need to pay it, others just pay the taxes out of their revenue.

Seattle to Tokyo is only 4144nm so that might be a viable route especially for routes that would have already had a layover in LAX and/or Tokyo.

Well according to the article in this case 3D imaging is reducing false positives by about 6% which seems like an actual benefit. Would it be a benefit if it is easier to maintain or easier for the doctor to read?

They were suggesting they want to use the same vehicle door to door with it being automated during the freeway bit. A train would still mean find some transport to the station, wait for the train, ride train, find transport from station.

That saying really isn’t true. I know plenty of people that liked their manager but still left companies. There are plenty of reasons people leave companies that have nothing to do with their manager.

I was hoping to see support for adding shader files. There are some workarounds I’ve seen for being able to test shader code in playgrounds, but it would be nice to have native support that doesn’t require a workaround and allows for syntax highlighting.

The site uses both Spotify and Apple Music’s standard oauth flows. You aren’t providing your credentials to the site directly and the site requests access to a very limited set of your data. So, no people shouldn’t be concerned.

Sure it does. Apple shows the phone number/contact name and the send arrow in green if it is being sent to a non-iMessage recipient.

But that metadata literally doesn’t exist. Signal knows when Person X created their account and when Person Y created there account. But the know nothing about the relationship between the 2 people. As far as Signal’s metadata is concerned everyone is a stranger that has never contacted another person.

Disclaimer, I work at TransUnion but the following is based on my experience as a consumer.

Since I’m seeing a lot of confusion about how credit reporting is done and how credit monitoring services work let me break it down a bit. Let's say you are getting a new credit card with Chase Bank. When you apply for that credit card Chase does a hard inquiry on your credit report to decide if you are elligible for that card and what credit limit they are going to give you. If they then issue you a card they then report to the credit bureaus that you opened a new line of credit with them and the limit on that line of credit.

If you have credit monitoring you would get 2 notifications. You would get a notification that a hard inquiry was made on your credit report and a second saying a new line of credit was issued to you. The point of credit monitoring isn't for the bureau to catch mistakes but for you to be aware of activity that could negatively impact your credit score. The bureau has no way of knowing if something was legitimate or not since they only have the information that was reported to them. Credit monitoring does however let you know something major happened to your credit which means you now have the ability to respond to that knowledge.

There are 2 important things to remember, all 3 credit bureaus are legally required to give you 1 free credit report per year at your request. You can get it online from https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action or the FTC has instructions https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0155-free-credit-repor... if you want to request it by mail. I have heard a lot of people suggest that consumers should space out requesting the 3 free credit reports so they get one about every 4 months and use that as a form of credit monitoring. It isn't completely fullproof since lenders aren't required to report to all bureaus so something could show up on only 1 report and not the other 2. The second important thing to know is that bureaus are legally required to allow consumers to dispute items on their credit report. The FTC has a sample dispute letter you can use to file a dispute, but some if not all of the bureaus have ways to file disputes online. As someone else in this thread mentioned these disputes generally require some sort of evidence that the reported item is incorrect.

So say I get a credit monitoring alert that says my address has changed because some creditor reported my information incorrectly. Regardless of any other steps I should get that resolved with the creditor because it will probably keep causing issues. But I could then file a dispute with the credit bureau(s) saying that the address is incorrect which would probably require a bill or something to prove my current address (similar to how some state DMVs prove you are a resident).

Disclaimer, I work for TransUnion. The following thoughts are my own.

The theory behind this implementation is that probably no one other than you knows what the amount of the mortgage you took out in 1999 is or the size of the car loan you took out in 2015. So in theory it confirms that you are the person who the credit report belongs to. In practice it gets tricky because there are plenty of people who have super boring credit files (e.g. they only have a credit card and have never had a loan). With that kind of user you end up in the situation where the questions either ask about information that can probably be gleaned from public records or the answers end up being “none of the above.” For those users specifically it is a pretty useless solution. I remember signing up for Credit Monitoring and thinking that anyone with a passing knowledge of my life could answer the questions.

It turns out that verifying that someone is who they say they are without needing to see a valid ID is a hard problem to solve.

Is it a great solution no, but before data breaches became so common it was a somewhat reasonable solution. In today’s world though I would agree that it is a pretty terrible solution, but I don’t know how you would solve that without requiring notarization from a trusted third party that the person is for sure who they say they are.
