Small feature request for this implementation: Highlight/bold the three impacted regex when selecting a given hexagon, trying to trace it manually by eye is a bit of a pain. (I guess I could PR on github when I get some time later toda

There are plenty of normal regex crosswords out there. What makes this one special is the fact that it's in a hex format. If anything, regex is actually what allows people to even make hexagonal crosswords, I don't think it would

I think the specific issue here is the 250 connection limit, which seems to be really under utilizing the instance in something as basic as chat.

In general I agree, but I think this is more an issue of the example, or rather the fact that there's a cap of 250 connections per Cloud Run instance. For something as barebone as chat clients, that really seems to be under utilizing e

In my experience having small webapps, it hardly helps. I literally added a huge modal popup on my feedback button specifically saying "DO NOT MESSAGE ME ABOUT X" before continuing and I still get dozens a week. Even on reddit, wh

My guess is that bug bounty programs refers only to security issues (even if the name suggests otherwise), and unfortunately the team triaging it is probably only focused on handling security teams. Actually sometimes triaging is handled by

Did you submit it as a bug or a security issue? There are indeed no security risk here, but usability wise, your account being bricked is a pretty serious issue.

by ehsankia 6y ago
And why is the same not true for FLoC? How come when it comes to FLoC, the bare minimum amount of information is magically enough to identify you, but when it comes to IP, you just shrug it away as it being too difficult?

No wonder I've been seeing so much ads about WealthSimple tax. It's literally every other ad on TikTok for the past 2 months. That and every other WealthSimple app (trade, invest, etc).

> 'tracking' is a broad term Right, in this context though it's referring to users themselves being tracked. Tracking how well the results to a specific query did doesn't require any sort of user-specific data. You&#x

Your first claim, I'm suspicious this can be done after a certain scale. If DDG is sending queries from millions of users, it's much harder to untangle them. Your second query, absolutely, Microsoft is getting very good aggregate

Don't they have ads? In reality, tracking doesn't do much when it specifically comes to search engine ads, since the user is literally giving you their intent in the search query itself. Tracking is more useful for showing ads as

Does it matter? If it's proxied through a single API "user", Microsoft can't track individual DDG users, right?

Forget Google, how are they gonna compete with DDG who has the "privacy conscious" market niche pretty well covered. That seems to be their main competitor here. Having a semi-popular browser where they can set the default search

That doesn't really apply here. I don't even play GTA V but the #1 complain I've always heard for the past 6 years is that the load times are the worst thing about the game. Once something is known to be the biggest bottlenec
