IP blocks don't work, because they're using proxy networks so that you see an ip address 1 or 2 times within 10 minutes. They have effectively infinite ip addresses. (actually, looking at my data from today, I think this relations

I’d love to, but I’m a bit limited in what I can do from a reputational damage POV. They’re my sites, in that I’m responsible, but they aren’t something where I can return incorrect responses.

I don’t think I’ve noticed gym socks smells, but I can certainly smell kerosene basically every time when outdoors at the airport, and often in the plane.

When I did it, I closed the door at nautical twilight. The key is that you need to close the door after the chickens roost but before the nocturnal predators come out.

Had something similar to this with the kids with Lego Duplo tracks, similar topology but the switches gave the system state. Going "backwards" through a switch set the train to return that direction when coming the other way. So w

What’s more, they will scale up with increased resources on the site. If you redline at 20 searches a sec, and put in 4 more workers, suddenly you’re serving 100r/sec to the bots, paying 5x for it, and your users are still seeing shit

I think Jurassic Park was pretty similar craziness. Definitely pushing the CGI aspect, and super super popular.

First generation powerbooks, the 140/170, were amazin keyboards. The 100, not so much.

I bought 2 M13s (one black, one beige, the one with the builtin track point) in Seattle thrift stores in the early 2000's, one was $5 and one was $10. At one point, other copies were both $300 plus on ebay. Sadly the black one has an

From my son's experience in calisthenics and looking around at the group he sometimes trains with, there are definitely a lot of overload/overuse injuries, at a range from just needing rest to bicep tears.

And there are a lot of middling bakeries in Europe. Haven't spent much time in Belgium, but I was disappointed in the average quality of the bread in small bakeries in France. There was one awesome organic bakery in Paris near the cata

The whole obsession about measuring giving exact hydration percentages is strange to me. Assume you have 100g of flour at equilibrium 20% ambient humidity, and the same 100g of flour at 80% humidity. I don’t know how different the effective

Eh, I found the Seattle artisanal bakeries (Fremont, Grand Central) to be better than all but the best I’ve found in Europe.

Few different use cases, other than just a general swiss army knife for vaguely tabular data. * fastapi + duckdb + parquet for the backend for a relatively high profile website * wasm duckdb + react for a few visualization websites * yaml d

I run some moderate profile gov and ngo opendata sites, and I’d say that bot like traffic is 99% of the requests we’re seeing on some sites. Mostly current valid user agents, lots of ip addresses, but the traffic patterns are not organic.

Unschooling works for a fraction of kids, and at some stages of their life. How big is that fraction? In my experience being around a bunch of home schoolers (and adjacent, and school system), some of whom were more in or out of unschoolin

Unfortunately, digeridoo playing is just as disruptive to partner's sleep as snoring is. Perhaps they should try bagpipes?

I doubt it. The spanish (really tetra pack) wine was dry, and after double distilling it was basically moonshine. The Hungarian one was more in the mixing back into the undistilled wine -- making something akin to port+ strength that drinks

The best I’ve ever done was a double distilled Spanish box wine we picked up for 1eur/l. The wine was undrinkable, but the brandy was sooooo smooth. Next best was cheap tokaij furmint, distilled once and then mixed back into some of th
