Sounds like the boss wanted a grid layout of some kind. Honestly, if they can express themselves in Excel, and they can be made to understand the limitations of responsive Web design, then it’s not so bad. At least it’s a requirement and you don’t have to guess.
You know how people say “Devil you know is better than God you don’t”?
Excel is that Devil people know. It’s not the best tool for a lot of stuffs but it let’s people do things.
I saw a co-worker generate sequence for formula in excel for another cell in excel. They wanted to do average of all January data, instead of averageif/sumif/countif etc, they generated a sequence a1+a13+a25… And used excels’ drag down thing to make the formula. I’m like who could even verify it.
I’ve posted on a similar group, but it was abandoned, and since it was on another instance, I’ve decided to try one myself. I’ve also asked for other opinions here:
There’s a bunch of game studios that think they need to use ring zero to prevent cheaters. And basically the user is just told ‘trust me bro’ that they’re not going to mess up your system.
I personally refuse to play any game that is ring zero. And this big outage is a clear example as to why it’s a bad idea to give random devs unlimited access to your machine.
The problem is if anti-cheat does not have full access but the cheat does, the cheat can just hide itself. Same for anti-virus vs viruses. It’s particularly nasty on free-to-play games where ban evading really just means you have to get a new e-mail. It’s the same reason why some anti-cheats block running games in VMs. Is it fool proof? Hell no! Does it deter anybody not willing to buy hardware to evade VM detection or run the cheat on completely separate hardware? Yes.
Personally, I’d prefer having a stake/reputation system where one can argue that they can be trusted with weaker anti-cheat because if you do detect cheating then I lose multiplayer/trading/cosmetics on the account I’ve spent $80 USD or more on. Effectively making the cost of cheating $80 minimum for each failed attempt. Haven’t spent $80 yet? Then use the aggressive anti-cheat.
Wow, Democrats nominate a prosecutor, and people’s thoughts on ACAB change all of a sudden and start down voting me on it. It’s like they forgot the first A means All.
To be clear she’s 4,000% less a bastard and than Donald Trump, that doesn’t mean ACAB stopped being true, I die on this hill.
