Their propaganda has become a footgun. Only the government buys it and limits their access, no target user convinced, what a ironic moment.

This is really a sad moment, I hope the free-theading feature can be kept in the main line. For me, running my library in real threads has actuall revealed some hidden fatal bugs which are hard to reproduce with the GIL> As for performan

It's mostly only OpenAI, Claude and Gemini may have their unique advantages, but when speaking of models and new paradigm, only OpenAI can do it.

It can be much more easier and realistic with https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate .

Yes, indeed. I just tried search "Apple", and apple.com is not on the first page.

Why do people keep building servers for such a silly protocol?

I think it will, it uses requests, and cloudflare blocks traffic from non-browser, e.g. python http clients. It would be better to use something like curl_cffi.

How about going backwards? Find the first hundred users or at least 10-ish people who actually has a pain point, and build the product for them.

I doubt that. I have two kids, 4yo and 6yo. I told my kids that I can make their toys talk (using AI) a few months ago, and they have been constantly asking me when it will be ready.

I agree that the US is going to the wrong direction. I was just saying that what China did is a bad example, not a justification for other governments.

You are comparing oranges to apples here. Basically, there are 2 legislation in the world, legistlation and the China legislation. In China, there are laws on the surface and there are rules underneath. For example, the government never adm

Maintainer here. Curl drops NSS support since like a year ago, which is the SSL engine firefox uses. Without NSS, two special extensions can not be added. And that's why only webkit-based browsers are left. You can find support for old

Hi, maintainer here, the whole project is a hack, actually :P The original repo was already full of hacks, and on top of that, I added more hacks to keep up with the latest browsers. The main purpose of my fork is to serve as a foundation o

I was looking for macOS M1 runner, which is not provided by GitHub. I'm willing to pay for that, but it seems that there are only Linux types now.

by ospider 3y ago
It seems half-baked to me. I logged in, and it says only org accounts are supported. I'm interesting because I can not use Win32 and mac M1 instance on github actions, but I failed to find any docs mentioning supported instance types.

The problem of `just` is that it does not consider `mtime`, which makes it almost useless in my case. I do hate the quirky syntax of `make`, however, it does a great job of not repeating itself if files have not been changed.

Assuming you don't take privacy into consideration, yes.

Actually, it's both. Back in 2022, you have to install either WeChat or Alipay to scan the government's health code literally everywhere.

Tailscale lacks of very basic features. Can you believe that you can not upgrade your plan? That's the worst SaaS product I have ever used.

Because it's a walled garden. Imagine a Facebook that is strictly real name only, without a web version, and consumes ~50GiB on device typically.

Glimpse, that's all we can get for free. For the rest, we need to fight for it.

You have no idea of how bad a Chinese lockdown can go. There are literraly two versions of lockdown in the world: the lockdown and the Chinese lockdown.

Indeed. In China, we used to joke that Deng's opening policy has created the second republic, on the contrary to Mao's first republic. With Xi's coronation, the second republic has died.

I don't think so. Python is battery included, and most packages in the Python ecosystem are not as scattered as npm packages. The number of packages in a typical Python project is much smaller than a Nodejs project. I think that's

Yeah, but for non-tech companies, like Nike/Adidas as mentioned in other comments, they will need this kind of bot-detection services.
