If you want to write frontend code with a functional programming language, Elixir may be worth your time.

I fixed it, try again

A voting counter for 3 voting systems. It was a rewrite of a code I wrote some years prior, and the cool factor was to feel that the new version was trustworthy even before writing the tests.

I also made some specialized chatbots, good results.

Savage!

I’m atheist, and don’t mind religious people… Except when they try to shape society to reflect their moral values.

I remember Valve placing honeypots that would be impossible for a honest player to see or reach, and banning in mass the players who fall for it after some time to avoid the adaptation of the cheaters. And that is a cheap yet effect way to clean the player base.

Other interesting strategy is to limit the client information available, of the character is not looking with a scope, the client doesn’t need to know if there is another player far in that direction.

Probabilistic analysis is not the only way.

But I know that some strategies would demand major reworks or good planning from the development phase.

Server side anti-cheat should be the focus of every game company with an MMO game in their catalog. Relying on kernel access is madness.

I think he refers to the amount of Linux users playing their game.

I thought they got bankrupt years ago.

Yeah, that is called withdrawal syndrome, when there are symptoms if the person stops using a substance. I think that’s a problem caused by an addiction that interferes with a higher priority.

By the way, this is no joke and can lead to death depending on the severity.

For tobacco, I don’t think withdrawal syndrome can kill, but it can last for 6 months according to a psychiatrist I know.

And about the criteria for addiction, in my country it is:

• manipulative behavior to keep doing it (it = using the substance or the activity)
• repertory restrictions (avoid doing other activities that the person used to do)
• harm in other aspects of life (like what we said before)
• keep doing it, even with those damages

I think it is easy, but I speak only european languages. Not sure if it is really easier or I just feel that is easy because I know the languages I do.

I would love to say mandarin/chinese, but tonal languages scares me.

I made a grammar rule set (not a complete conlang yet) where verbs don’t need to be conjugated, and information about time is separated from the verb; A new lingua franca, IMHO, should not have verb conjugation.

This is a good rule of thumb for most addictions afaik.

Not related, but why not use “þ” Thorium as well? And did you added the thorn on your keyboard, or is it just an automated replacer (like autokey or auto hotkey)?
