Sorry for my ignorance, but are any of these anti cheat drivers open source? I get that making them public would simplify for a cheater wanting to find ways around it (or a malicious actor to exploit them), but it would also go a long way towards users feeling sure of the fact that the driver isn't violating their privacy in other ways than necessary for detecting cheats during a game. Furthermore, if they are so much single-focus as the article argues then it should be easier for the companies the secure that what they open sourced is safe and can't be exploited.


Oh how nice, we Europeans get the non-beta version without those pesky privacy bugs :)


I am a total obfuscation noob. How far does their DPI go? I am guessing Tor and stuff have tried hiding it inside lots of different protocols and file types (I think I read something about that at some point). Is it to the point of hiding it as part of a html doc (like under a specific tag or something). At what point do we move towards having executable Javascript generate the encrypted text which then is decrypted?


I am someone who loves learning new languages (written advent of code in lisp, Haskell, APL, Erlang, zig...).

I have thought for a long time to try out Raku as Ive never tried Perl and it feels like the modern version might be easier to get into as it maybe avoids some of the baggage.

Is this true, or do I miss something by skipping the original?


My personal (but very brief) experience of trying to learn Raku is that most introductory material I came across assumed at least an apprentice-level exposure to Perl concepts and vocabulary.


Just go with Perl, IMO. Raku is completely separate, and would be more akin to learning Ruby or Elixir to get the Perl experience IMO.


They are completely separate programming languages. Go for the original to get the real Perl experience with all the good and bad.


Completely biased opinion: try Raku. It is easier to get into.


/ is only taking off now that a large corporation is backing it and unifying how to do stuff more.


Do you have a reference for that? I'm from Sweden and I can definitely say preventive dental care is a huge thing here. I felt your statement sounded weird so I googled around. DMFT seems to be one index used to rank countries oral health, which is produced by WHO. In that ranking several European countries beat or sit at US levels. Do you only mean eastern Europe?

This links to OECDs compilation of WHOs data, was easier to get the overview from imo: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/health_glance-2009-1...


That study is for children. Oral health problems take years to surface and looking at adults would be a better way to measure these things.

Having lived in both the US and France, I can say that it’s been my experience that Americans have “nicer” looking teeth. Whether that translates into anything medically relevant is apparently really difficult to prove.


WHO produced the exact same data but for adults. I did see similar results there (several EU countries above US). You gave no references as response, instead giving another personal experience.


My original response were specifically about references. But sorry if it sounded more aggressive than it was. I mistook you for the original person I replied to, which made me answer more direct than maybe was necessary. Also, it was my bad for not linking the actual reference for WHOs adult data. I'll link it here instead [1]. That said, on second look it is from 2000, so it is much older than the one on children. Maybe not as reliable. I remain am quite sceptical to the claim that there is an actual difference between in oral health between EU and US though. And my original response were to someone saying preventive care is completely non-existent in EU, which is simply demonstrably wrong.

Sorry that it took me so long to respond. I was wrong to over generalize to the EU. My personal experience is with countries around the Mediterranean and I maintain that while it may be available it’s not taken advantage of the way it is in the US.


And? I was very clear that this was anecdotal and responding in a thread about the aesthetic aspect of teeth.

I’m sorry I didn’t dig any deeper than the link that was presented but it was about adolescent kids. And no one is saying that these differences show up in young people.


Could it be difference in diet and or smoking?


Mullvad. I like their service, I've never had any issues with their application or network and I like how they do their business (the amount of privacy they provide). Haven't really checked how they stack up price-wise. Feels like they are not too far from others and when it is a high quality service I don't really care to price compare too much.


Or the headgear.


Or the standard for encoding nucleotide or protein sequences:

Or my axe


Yes, mine for example. Swedish keyboard layouts are horrible for coding. The [ and lots of other symbols require super weird hand movements to input. That is why when I code I usually use an American layout keyboard instead.

However, even if I wouldn't switch - wouldn't it just be to remap the keys in my config?


Good bait my guy. You have a wonderful day now.
