Anything is better than nothing. Except maybe feces for illness reasons, but some survivalists may debate that and say that its still better than absolutely nothing.

- Comment on Why is anti-cheat always client-side? 11 months ago:
Overall it feels better than the alternative though.
Client Side Prediction in combination with Server Authoritative Calculation should always be the correct option.
Basically, both the server and the client do the same calculation to see if a bullet hits. Then the server sees the client data and checks if it matches what the server calculated. If it does, then it ignores the client data and continues, otherwise it sends the correct data to overwrite the client. While the client waits for the server to check the data and send it back, it calculates the next frame based on previous server data such as previous enemy velocity, look angle, etc. The client is always slightly ahead of the server, but as long as the ping is low this isn’t a problem (depends on network data bandwidth, but usually anything below 150ms ping is not really noticeable, as the ping from your eyes to your brain processing it, then reacting to what you saw is between 150ms-300ms.)
This feels bad for players with bad ping, but it doesn’t have a negative effect on anyone else except cheaters that can no longer shoot you through walls or make impossible movements. And both of these are usually the fault of the client, as choosing a server with lower ping or simply not cheating will fix the problem immediately.
Client Authoritative Calculation, where the client tells the server the data to send other players, should never be used in a game where cheating would be a severe negative impact on the game, such as a PvP shooter.
- Comment on Is it disrespectful to call someone instead of answering their email? 11 months ago:
Personally, if I send an email to someone and they call me, that makes me suspicious of what theyre going to say. Why don’t they want to send an email back? What do they not want a paper trail of?
If someone (especially management) at my job asks me to do something, I always tell them to send me an email (via company email) telling me what they want specifically. This way, in case anyone in the future has a problem, I can reference the email and who sent it to me.I also will always respond when I complete the task so that I can reference how long the task took me to complete. As you can imagine this means I do nearly no meaningless or legally questionable tasks.
Naturally, I have done this in my personal life as well. Any conversation I feel is very important, I send a text or even an email. I once had someone respond by phone only, and this person was verbally abusive. I politely told them that any further correspondence must be done by text or email. Sadly, they never apologized, and have never spoken to me since.
So is it rude? I think it depends on the context and the person.

Why do you think getting insurance to actually pay out is so difficult?
