There is a HvH (Hack vs Hack) community in csgo. Private servers (mostly) without Anti-Cheat and while there is some skill to it, it's mostly a competition between different cheat programs. I really recommend you to watch some YouTube Videos about it, there are some crazy cheats and even counter measures built into cheat clients to protect against other cheats.
That makes no sense. They've internalized the theory so much that they can focus on the magic, and each of them has their own kind of magic, but they absolutely know the theory.
Oh man. I saw that movie as a kid, and remember thinking the hyperactive girl was really cute. I recently happened to see her scenes again, and unfortunately, the memories were better than the real movie.
I don’t remember where I read this (think it was some published paper) but I was building some audio streaming thing on top of WebRTC and there was an estimate that 60% of people would be able to do p2p.
Actually reimplementing something that’s already exists is a great way to get an understanding of it precisely so you can deal with the questions you mention.
My rule of thumb is that you should always understand at least one level of abstraction down.
As a kid I acquired my parent’s login to the school platform meaning I could call in sick myself. However one day I actually got sick so they had to call it in which means they would’ve seen all previous calls.
So I downloaded the HTML for all pages required for this exact flow and removed the previous sick days. I then changed my etc/hosts file, gave them my computer and prayed that they wouldn’t try to visit any other page than the ones I downloaded.
Worked like a charm. Later I called in sick myself.
That’s good. I took AP computer science in high school thinking we would learn how to make apps with graphical user interfaces (didn’t know there was any other kind) so I was uninterested and never payed attention/studied since when we only learned Java and not the kind for making UI’s.
I had a friend whose mom was a programmer and she would help us get the answers to homework problems. I would change variable names and a few other things, but one time we still got caught with way too similar answers.
In order not to get my friend and his mom in trouble, I told the teacher that I had in fact cheated but not from my friend. I stayed up for a few nights learning HTML and other things (well, modifying other code I found) in order to make a blog where a similar question as the homework problem was discussed, so that I could cite it as my source. At first I tried using blogging software but the timestamps are automatically coded as the current date, which wouldn’t work. So I had to make my own blog-looking site from scratch complete with several months worth of content, which was pretty much plagiarized I think.
It was way more effort than actually doing the homework would have been.
- Skew of supply and demand. There will be always be another musician willing to earn less money because they still get to do their ”dream job”.
- The need for background music. No matter how joyless it feels to produce this stuff, there’s a need for it.
I think companies like Epidemic offers an alternative route for musicians to earn some money on the side of their artistic vision.
Biggest issue which is more a philosophical one is how Spotify is shaping how we consume music.
