Same trajectory here! Started wanting to make missions in jr high. The community was great about having tutorials for the scripting engine and mission editor. Learned all sorts of programming concepts from doing that, then learned HTML from making pretty-looking briefings for the missions. By the time I started taking some programming classes in HS, I had some decent foundations.

It’s also great that they’ve been consistent about keeping their scripting commands wiki up to date with each new engine update.

The one thing holding Reforger back IMO and why I always go back to Arma 3 is the lack of mission editor/Eden that made it so easy to just try out some mission idea in the OFP/Arma/RV engine.

It was copyright protection, not anti cheat, and I thought it was fun/interesting as well!

It was called FADE <https://kotaku.com/now-this-is-how-copy-protection-should-be...>

It looks completely written by an LLM. It even has the overly attention-grabbing formatting LLMs like to use, where every significant part of a sentence is bolded.

For one, DisplayPort doesn’t support HDR output

I think most people use keepassxc, not original keepass.

The article mentions:

“John and Jill are not at risk. This is a controlled experiment and everyone working at Andon Market is formally employed by Andon Labs, with guaranteed pay, fair wages, and full legal protections. No one’s livelihood depends on an AI’s judgment alone.”

which was refreshing to read.

I’ve never heard of anyone doing this, but now I kind of wish everyone did. Maybe it would force the IRS to just give us a bill instead of having us try our best to calculate what we owe, submitting that, and then hoping that we don’t get an angry letter when the IRS calculates it themselves and their answer doesn’t jive with ours.

From what I’ve read, kaitai does that now. For the longest time it could only parse, but I believe now it can generate/serialize.

How long ago was this? A few years ago they were hiring aggressively for security team members in the US, including a dedicated fuzzing team. I’m guessing this was from early on when Zoom was just getting popular?
