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 brut…

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.

I stand corrected…

Just noting that 4000 vCPUs usually means 2000 cores, 4000 threads

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 c…

Could you give some examples of where you're using it?

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

> but do I really know without performing a benchmark? Not really. But that’s one of Rob Pikes rules [1], I think the intention is to write whatever is simplest and optimize later.…

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 an…

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 th…

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 abstracti…

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…

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. S…

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…

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

We call them chilli in the Uk

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 …

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…

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 assumption…

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. T…

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…

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 co…
