so many websites do this. ebay is another offender, where if you buy international items and speak english, it just gets in the way and introduces mistakes, which is especially bad if you're about to pay money for something. And of cou

I've had crawlers get stuck in a loop before on a search page where you basically could just keep adding things, even if there are no results. I filtered requests that are bots for sure (requests which are specified long past the point

I've tracked bots that were stuck in a loop no legitimate user would ever get stuck in (basically by circularly following links long past the point of any results). I also decided to filter out what were bots for sure, and it was over

no, because it has to count the amount of matching rows preceding the offset rows to determine the offset, i.e. iterate over all preceding rows. The cursor provides a starting point for the offset so in this instance it's not necessary

I do also appreciate that php has an explicit string concat operator rather than overloading +. Though of course it could just use another symbol for that to get rid of -> if we're talking about time travel. As it stands, you can&#x

it's worth noting that joe biden lied about trying to get a ceasefire, as we now know. So it's worth being skeptical, though of course I agree that ultimately what matters are results.

artists like making art and having some sense of intentionality, rather than just typing stuff in and then messing with it. that's the difference between cg and ai. you cannot cut intentionality out of the process and then just do twea

people did complain about it stealing GPL code scraped off github etc and then license laundering a lot, especially during the earlier days. I think now people are just worn down to have the conversation again. I do also think the threat is

embedded iframes that need to authenticate logins but don't trust the parent domain to store the login data there is a problem. You can somewhat work around it with the Storage Access API if that browser supports it (brave doesn't

seamless comment form iframe embeds. Useful for something like blogger, where *.blogspot.com allows user code and thus cannot host the comment form for logged in users

well, it's worth noting that since microsoft is also releasing the source code, the same thing could have happened with GPL. Though I suspect the author would be even less happy if they had done all the same stuff (minus removing the c

in the case of reddit I do. We don't need to return to the quasi-CP and complaining about SJWs era. I'll take a censored ad-ridden site with a somewhat less toxic userbase, though of course as always it would be best to have the b

we had facebook, but things weren't centralized to only 5 websites yet. You are right though, there's a lot about the old internet that was better, but there was also stuff that was worse. It was more untamed perhaps. I certainly

I doubt it'll still be able to do those things. From the article: >Using base-select loses a number of features and behaviors: > The <select> doesn't render outside the browser pane. > It doesn't trigger

I still run an unmodified GTK2 app from 2012 that I just grabbed a .deb from an ancient debian version, because I don't like the GTK3 version.

Bezos made some pretty technologically prescient decisions too, the obvious example being the API mandate, which set the ball rolling for AWS. I think leadership can be a factor, but to me what you're doing is a massive simplification.
