I'm assuming a bot running a headless browser instance can still get past it? It's still valuable to raise the cost of scraping of course. I don't think anything can really stop a determined scraper from impersonating a human

This is a great article and exactly mirrors my experience consuming webhooks. My team built almost the same workarounds as the author. The solution my team eventually settled on to the dedup, buffering, and race problems was: * When a w

I stand corrected, thanks for pointing it out. I suppose then I'm back to not seeing the utility of the proposal over form tags.

I had the same thought at first, but the example in the article convinced me. It's something I ran into when I did webdev. Form tags usually contain other elements - textboxes, checkboxes, etc. The url and method are specified on the f

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but GP called it a copyright violation and my understanding is a "clean room" reverse engineering for interoperability was fair use and not a copyright violation. Yes this does threaten Blizzard&#x2

If it turns out the private server code was a greenfield reverse engineered effort - do you still think that's a copyright violation? Why?

In the discussion of the Triforce arcade compatibility, there's some discussion of "IC Card" support needing to be implemented, and doing so unlocking a lot of missing functionality. I think this is referring to the Japanese

Yes it's exactly the one-off situations like that, which aren't super often but occur enough to greatly inconvenience someone without a pocket browser.

I've been trying to do this too - paring down distracting apps, leaving only essentials like communication, maps, uber, etc. But my problem is what to do about the browser? I feel it's too essential to the "long tail" of

I think Git was initially more popular and that had compounding effects that made it eclipse Mercurial. In 2010 or so we tried to adopt Mercurial at the small company I worked at, but the support for Git was just so much better - even back

My company moved EiBs of data off of tape a few years ago. It was reliable and durable, but the problem was read speed. It took so long to move tapes around and read the sequentially (no random access!), and as the data corpus grew it got h
