By the way, probing at connection time, that I mentioned in my original comment, isn't actually necessary. The GFW will just scan known popular-ish hosts, trying ‘connect-ip’ and banning everything that works as a proxy. (Connection-ti

I guess authentication via https before ‘connect-ip’ would work. Or, authenticating with headers in the same first ‘connect-ip’ request, if the server responds with ‘invalid method’ when not authenticated.

The Great Firewall does probing for ages now. It pauses the connection and sends its own request, checking what kind of protocol the server returns. Nothing stops these firewalls from trying ‘connect-ip’. The path could be used as a secret

People keep mentioning reviews on GoodReads, but to me, aggregate scores there always seemed pretty much useless. The whole scope of grades from ‘eh’ to ‘jolly good book’ is in the range from 4.0 to 4.5—and it's not even a clear grad

Sure sounds like it. Though I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't forget Grimm's name like that (the tales are childhood's staple where I am)—so maybe Rasmus Rask or Karl Verner was instead mentioned when I heard of the gen

Moreover, there wasn't just one or a few shifts: they happen all the time and there were plenty of them. Apparently a big discovery in etymology (in 19th century iirc, and I forget the guy's name) was that words mostly don't

It's similar in spirit and sound to Space Ponch, who are also Japanese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8maoqr4E5k (But doesn't seem to be related.)

Yes, I know about `[` being both a program and (potentially) a built-in. However the problem is exactly that an Sh-style shell can't easily divorce itself from the same gotchas unless it invents a DSL for its builtins with different se

As usual, the problem is that Sh & co. use in-band control, especially when talking to utilities. Just a mess of text being passed around, of which every program must make sense on its own—but this happening in shell's own function

You really don't think that the US exports a ton of media and entertainment? And that, for example, it happens to impose and protect copyright laws to make sure those profits continue? I have trouble finding the export figures, but

Ah, and the second objection is cost of transportation, I think. Which is probably the main real-life reason to have at least some finance and law firms in CA and not shuttle all documents to NY or Dover and back again.

Funny enough, it's a rather common trope in fiction, which loves to stereotype people into stratums by any imaginable criteria. IIRC blog posts were pointing out the geographical specialization in Hunger Games and saying that it's

In my company this was done rather less hacky-ly in PHP: the logger accepted an exception and printed its backtrace. Stray exceptions are captured at the top. ‘Idea’ IDEs already recognize paths like ‘/dev/printstack/examples
