Open source for bot protection specifically would be difficult. If I as a bot developer can see the tests you run I can just modify my bot to pass them (either trivially or by brute force).

Its channels from Spain, so presumably appeals to Spanish speaking countries.

Wonder if it would be better to auto translate to broken rust, ie forcing the user to fix memory issues. I imagine that would lead to pretty big refactors in some cases though.

DoS is a performance problem, if your server was infinitely fast with infinite storage they wouldnt be an issue.

This is fine assuming the popular request types don’t change, but arguably if both new versions of matching are sufficiently fast then I would prefer Ken’s long term as the other could become slow again if the distribution of request types

Web browsers could have 1/10th of the features, basically enough for markdown, forms, forums, displaying media, and minimal styling.

I used generics once, was kinda useful, but definitely avoidable. The only feature I could see myself using is something Linq-esque for slices and maps. Otherwise I’m content.

I personally found the polars API much clunkier, especially for rapid prototyping. I use it only for cemented processes where I could do with speed up/memory reduction. Is there anything specific you prefer moving from the pandas API t

Markets are what you described. Participants that regularly beat the market are rewarded with more money (and confidence) which lets them bet larger size and have more impact on the market. Uninformed bets should wash out as noise, and in

I guess I’m in that camp. I can come up with a good abstraction after working on a problem for a while and refactor it into my code. Or I can come up with a really simple abstraction (eg a Go interface with 2-3 methods), and that usually

That's fair, the concurrency features are very handy though optional of course. The ecosystem and tooling are great, probably the best I've worked with. But the main reason I reach for Go is that it's got tiny mental overhead

I wouldn't call Go a 'server side' language. The Go compiler is written in Go, for example! Cross compilation and (relatively) small binaries make it super easy for distribution. Syntax sugar is a fair point though, it doesn&

I think this is a facet of human memory - eg thinking childhood was better than it was because the bad/boring parts aren’t memorable. I also get this with anxious/stressful periods of time, which are overwhelmingly bad at the time

I assume it's 'zero' turns lookahead/search, i.e. only look at the current board state.

Why not? Are economists infallible? Even if there’s many of them they may have been taught the same material and risk groupthink. What position is the US in if all their goods are manufactured abroad? What if the dollar stops being respecte

I'd try another group, they were probably a bad fit for you. It might seem like every group will be the same, but all it takes is to bump into one or two people you get on with and then you can organise things separately, avoiding the

Depends how you define best, I assume best in the article means ‘output is close to 50/50 and independent’, in which case the 01/10 solution is already optimal given the assumptions. If you define best as the most efficient at con

It sounds like you mostly didn’t have the problems they were pitching for. Imagine you urgently needed a pesticide guy! Maybe you’d too annoyed to buy but someone else might not. That’s my head canon on why google makes so much from search

Ideally they wouldn’t need to power up the servers but you can see from the graph that unfortunately there’s still some uptime, though they are working on it, maybe once they reach 100% downtime

I love to give more. That’s what life’s about. But it should be done freely and without expectation. What I’m talking about is taking - do this or I’ll be annoyed. It’s overt vs covert contracts. I ask you to do X because it would be helpfu

Well said, also applies to many human dynamics - friendships, relationships, work relationships, etc. Ceding power is a ratchet and you either put your foot down to start with or it grinds away.

Interspecies communication is a massively underrated field. We've bridged human cultures in the past, which is easier because humans do similar (ish) things, we can use sight, touch, smell, etc to establish common ground. We can commun

Is there somewhere I could read more about this? I've always wanted to learn Lisp but lacked a specific need for it.

I do like JavaScript but it strikes a weird balance for me where it's a bit too easy to write and a bit too verbose so I tend to end up with hard to maintain code. Feels good at the start of a project but rarely a few weeks in. Also no
