So, business as usual?

The latter is arguably the more important of the two. I remember a scare some years back around a Monero developer that turned out to be a nothingburger, but it goes to show how important it is that the core development team is trustworthy,

Really? That's unfortunate, I heard of many people getting refunds back when they removed port forwarding.

Surprised there hasn't been a fork of Anubis that changes the artificial PoW into a simple Monero mining PoW yet. Would be hilarious to trap scraper bots into endless labyrinths of LLM-generated mediawiki pages, getting them to mine ha

I have to wonder how many people mix-and-match. Like, does a 6th or 7th blog post really matter, versus getting a large payout? No rule that says you can't do both, or only disclose+publish the more 'impressive' of your explo

A one-on-one interview is completely different from a paper-and-pencil exam though.

Some of my acquaintances were doing the same, but unintentionally. I had also thought news articles and the like were using regular hyphens that were extended due to some weird font.

I'm more curious about the usage of em/en dash, most people in my life had no idea it existed. I myself only discovered them for the first time when reading a punctuation site to ensure I was using semicolons grammatically correct

and in it's place, rather than a service that was censoring usernames in the interest of privacy being the leading service holding the spotlight, in the future we'll surely get another spy.pet created for the explicit purpose of d

Wait until you find out about all the three-letter agencies and private scrapers doing the same. Probably best to not let it keep you up at night, especially on public servers you yourself explicitly decided to *opt-in* to Discord's &#

It's disappointing any solution to this issue will easily be 5-10 years away, leaving the rest of us plebeians to grapple with the consequences in the meantime. Plus any solution that increases pay for entry-level workers necessarily c

The difference is they ran a private service to profit off the scraped data, and explicitly marketed it as a "dox-for-hire" service, so ethically I think the situations are quite different (the researchers explitly took steps to c

Not really, when devs use discord as a hub of documentation and discussion it inherently makes the information harder to access, especially searchability-wise. You could argue "well you can just scrape it and post it online, like OP&qu
