Since the player was making hundreds of simultaneous requests, it sounds like a race condition in the casino's server-seed mechanism where the player was able to get the server-seed of future bets. Obviously, the server only wants to d

Well, the entire difference between the house and the player is that the house has the edge, so the house always wants the player to indefinitely recycle their winnings until they have none. It's more than an inverse in thinking, it&#x

Another common example is something like a Markdown/BBCode parser.

There's also a lot of moralizing around casinos, so when you combine the two, people can't really help themselves. "They deserve it!"

That doesn't make much sense. If they have a legit exploit, then kicking them will just make them create a new account. Or perhaps distribute the +EV betting over a bunch of accounts so that it was much harder to detect. If they don&#x

Unfortunately just using SQL doesn't mean your system is free of race conditions nor that every atomic domain operation is implemented atomically. Of course, it's a great start.

Just because you actually do have a moral problem with casinos doesn't mean a malicious user is a "customer".

Writing Java with Clojure is actually kinda fun, and macros let you abstract it away when the ceremony gets thick.

I believe it's just pointing out that, unlike other parts of the map, the underpass is a linear corridor where noobs don't have to worry about being flanked.

My custom Emacs init file that's grown over the years reminds me of my main problem with Emacs: to do anything, it just feels like a bunch of magical incantations using global variables and function calls I wouldn't know how to di

Hiccup is a pleasure to use. Everything from template inheritance to view-layer functions become trivial to do yourself since it's just some datastructures. Using the same tools (paredit) to edit html that you use to edit Clojure makes

I'm not sure how you can have this opinion unless you've only ever used google search as a basic calculator or spell-checker.

It's not a gasoline-fueled power washer. Also, picture your bum from below when sitting on the pot. Do you really think the bidet has trouble hitting its target?

You're just cleaning up droplets of water on the underside of your butt, not sponging up a puddle. If your toiler paper can't handle that, I have to wonder how it can handle its other duties. Try a higher ply.

This is the best mode yet since it's not just a frantic rush. You're onto something here. I think the gameplay of this variant would be much deeper if the ticker only ticked when you didn't make a match.

Great README. Gives me a good sip of the entirety: the syntax, macros, patmatching, integrating with React, and even how to gulp it and write tests with it. Yet succinct enough to scroll in one swipe.

Also, you don't need to sign or encrypt the cookie if it's just a securely random session_id.

Maybe if it's trivial blanket rate-limiting on a single server. Anything more complicated that needs synchronization/database access, I'd rather just read and maintain application-level middleware. It's not rocket scienc

I hadn't considered that interpretation, but it's less confusing than mine: My initial suspicion was that since the hobby dyno has "10 process types", I would think the "1 web, 1 worker" restriction for the fre

Unfortunately it's strictly a price increase for everyone who bought a second dyno to get out of the freeloader tier. $35/mo (one free + one standard dyno @ $35/ea) to $50/mo (two standard dynos @ $25/ea). It's

The title could've easily been referring to specific progress or framed in optimism. Can there be no articles about how far we've come until we've reached the stars? Or singularity?

by danneu 11y ago
It's not seldom used in that way. In my experience, I would say that "far" by itself more commonly refers to "far along" until otherwise clarified with "far away". The title is simply ambiguous.
