This isn't entirely true. Most (all?) of the games require the Steam client which they are constantly updating and increasing the system requirements for. Systems that could previously run the Steam client and games just fine can no lo

I would be careful about auto-closing issues after a year. It's quite possible that some issues are genuine but for various reasons (time required, difficulty of the problem, etc...) people might not do anything about it right away. Yo

If you're reasonably certain that the request is being made by a malicious bot, you could try responding with a ZIP bomb [1] if HTTP 1.1 or newer is being used and the bot accepts compression. It can cause problems for several browser

Yeah, I'm serious. Even with Twitter, for example, currently allowing accounts to be created and posts to be made for essentially free, real accounts and posts still outnumber those of troll farms and bots from what I've seen. If

I'm already using this timestamp technique on my website and so far no bot operator has bothered trying to work around this. However even if some bot operator were to specifically target a website using this technique and try to decrea

Website operators could still take measures to stop abuse from troll farms as well while still allowing people to remain anonymous. A website operator like Twitter for instance could perhaps require users to make a small micro-transaction b

I don't see any good reason why people can't be allowed to remain anonymous while still allowing website operators from taking measures to stop bot abuse. CAPTCHAs can already stop many bots. Other commenters have also mentioned t

I also use essentially the same technique (although I have the server generate the timestamp instead of using JavaScript) on my website and concur that this is a highly effective technique for blocking bot submissions.

The title should really be changed to say that it's the world's fastest single engine business jet. Both Gulfstream and Bombardier make considerably faster twin engine business jets.

I wrote that program in the hope that it would better illustrate why some of the benchmarks on the site aren't very good since for some benchmarks the program performance is highly dependent on the libraries being used and not the prog

I submitted the C binary-trees program. I did check to see if OpenMP increased the performance and it most certainly does. Just looking at the CPU and clock time usage on https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmar

You're probably referring to the C program I submitted. OpenMP is only available for C, C++, and Fortran so that is why most programs won't use it. However most of the other programming languages have their own ways for doing mult

I'm the author of that C program. You are correct that the programs are using somewhat different algorithms (and as an author for many other submissions on the site, I can say this is true for many of the benchmarks on the site). In ad
