(As another European) it's hard to see any alternative for regular people whose profession just happens to put their life at almost permanent risk, thanks to the attitude toward guns over there. I'm not sure if in Europe we'd

When you're competing against bots (or people, not sure which) making a few hundred HTTP POSTs/sec, having a few extra horses in the race helps immensely, especially when >50% of those requests are going to fail anyway

CCC is so heavily oversubscribed that there is an insane race every year when tickets are released, usually involving downtime for the ticketing app. If finding the app itself already presents too much effort for you (hint: https:/&#x

Google for anything Rolf Rolles has published on the topic, believe it or not there are general approaches to solving this. Someone already mentioned dumping the text segment, that only works for silly 90s-era obfuscators. Contemporary obfu

This only applies to indexes over a pre-sorted structure. For unordered, PG has something vaguely similar in the form of BRIN indexes, but really they're totally different tricks

You're arguing one edge of a very much double-edged sword, and I must say (as someone that was deploying the linux-vserver patches by at least 2004) it's incredibly tiring to watch.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, speed of light is the only robust way to prevent the attack without hobbling the entire feature.. doubt it could be reliably retrofitted to an exiting design though, timing that precise probably requir

HTA were awesome, I wrote a very rich UI Innosetup-alike entirely in it back in the late 90s. Everything was there, it exposed pretty much any system interface via COM, and everything pristinely documented in Microsoft style
