Something unclear about the explanation: systemd-inhibit is not running `sh & disown`, it's running `sh` and `& disown` applies to the systemd-inhibit command. If you actually daemonized the inner command, systemd-inhibit would

Last time I checked, about 5 years ago, the runtime libraries for the .NET target were a performance disaster. I remember reimplementing a compatible faster one in F#, but I wasn't satisfied with the overall program so I eventually got

Isn't isOpen = false what triggers the transition in the first place here?

I guess companies will pay for the cheapest copies for liability and then use the pirated dumps. Or just pretend that someone lent the books to them.

Yes, the O in OCaml extends the type system with structurally typed objects and a classic OOP class system. They're conceptually nice, specially the in-place object syntax, but the class syntax feels tacked on and the overall implement

Yes, although they're replacements more than extensions. Stdlib is OCaml's builtin standard library, Base is Jane Street's lightweight replacement of Stdlib (although the most basic types are compatible), and Core is Jane Str

> as much type safety as python There's no type unsafety from unchecked exceptions, because uncaught exceptions are not unsound. Even Haskell has them (error and undefined), because from a theoretical standpoint they're equiv

My impression is that most people, as in a majority, aren't using Jane Street's Base and Core. Maybe some or even many , but not most , and specially not in the FOSS ecosystem. I think this idea comes from so many learning m

You're missing the point, they're giving an example of an entire workload that fits into your technique's worst-case overhead. It's could be the right trade-off and rarely be hit, but that worst-case does sound bad.

That's more fitting! I wish I had a popular app to spread the word from, I do like the spirit of your project.

Not really, it would have maybe avoided the first paragraph. I actually really like copyleft, but I assume the social statement here is more important than the code, thus making it easier to rally around it should be the priority. A CC0 c

And they'll gladly close it, them and every other bank. We lack alternatives so we lack leverage.

A couple of years ago the OCaml and Julia languages already had to deal with a content farm that created wikis for them, filled them with LLM-generated, blatantly wrong or stupidly low quality content, and SEOed its way above actual learnin

Why does that matter? The challenge needs to stay expensive enough to slow down bots, but legitimate users won't be solving anywhere near the same amount of challenges and the alternative is the site getting crawled to death, so they c

And if you don't increase it, crawlers will DoS the sites again and legitimate users will have to wait until the next tech hype bubble for the site to load, which is the reason why software like Anubis is being installed in the first p

I'm not using the latest generation of phones, not in the slightest, and I don't really care, because the alternative to Anubis-like intersitials is the sites not loading at all when they're mass-crawled to death.

Fair, then I obviously think Xe may have a kinda misguided understanding of their own product. I still stand by the concept I stated above.

That's a matter of increasing the difficulty isn't it? And if the added cost is really negligible, we can just switch to a "refresh" challenge for the same added latency and without burning energy for no reason.

It happens once if the user agent keeps a cookie that can be used for rate limiting. If a crawler hits the limit they need to either wait or throw the cookie away and solve another challenge.

by debugnik 1y ago
That's not bypassing it, that's them finally engaging with the PoW challenge as intended, making crawling slower and more expensive, instead failing to crawl at all, which is more of a plus. This however forces servers to increase
