That's because programmers in 2006 didn't understand programming. They didn't understand how to make their software better . Real programming means writing your own javascript glue…

That's not far from what anubis does for clients that are determined to have light souls. It doesn't always send a PoW challenge. For a webapp that sets a long-lived cookie, that c…

In a thread last month about scrapers, the author mentioned working on a switch to hashx.[1] In addition, nothing prevents anubis from sending a wasm solver instead of js, reducing…

It is not absolutely useless, empirically, which you'd discover if you had a website getting hammered by bots and experimented with anubis as a countermeasure. While dedicated scra…

The "lead" in AI, even with google's TPU advantage, may not make economic sense for a company. Can you make back the training investment on a competitive frontier model, before eve…

Missing from the article is that, once the pilots reported to ATC that GPS was inoperable, ATC was going to have them circle to the right and guide them along the ILS approach, whi…

try adding -issuer after -dates the real one is issuer=C=US, O=Google Trust Services, CN=WE1 I hope you meant 1.0.2 or 3.2. There was never an openssl v2 release, so if that's what…

It's being served by cloudflare and gets A+ from ssllabs. Maybe there's something going on with your network or your browser's TLS support.

They can randomize (with bias for hot/recent content) entries on each page, but paginate them. FOMO will keep people clicking next even once they recognize some entries.
