The expansion of Europe’s reach over the world in the 1500s and 1600s. Or at least the transatlantic slave trade. I would not exist, but a LOT of suffering would be prevented.

My guy, many of the Hitler policies was inspired by the southern US policies against the black population. Sometimes I wonder the nazi rise and fall didn’t prevent something like that happening in the US in the XX century.


Last time I heard about it, it was being reviewed cause the genetic diversity in Africa is too high to support that claim. The bottleneck may be related only to a part of the human population.

I think that’s almost the only option. The distro is everything on top of the kernel, so to make everything work in tune they will need to be in. Specially Arch IMHO, because they usually post on the community page when some manual intervention will be necessary.

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

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.

That depends on the kind of time travel we are dealing with. And as no information about that was provided… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
