Yeah, that'd be pretty cool.

Personally I like it and find it clear. Compare: ary.map(_ * 2) ary.map(x => x * 2) "_" is perhaps an ugly choice of character (frankly I'm not sure why Scala is so obsessed with it, since it's used for

Streaming, pattern matching, and regex combined in one sounds pretty damn cool. Might also be nice to borrow some of Scala's features for terser code than Ruby, like ary | { _ + 5 } instead of ary | { |el| el + 5 }

Easier to understand for beginners, I suppose. For the record, I have utterly no math background (hardly passed algebra), but I also agree that checking only 3 and 5 is the better solution and is how I've always written FizzBuzz.

The work still has to be done manually in those cases, though, whether they type it themselves or rent use of a captcha farm.

Here's the unfortunate truth: a good majority of security companies out there are banking on the hope that the signals they are looking for are not known to hackers and so cannot be mimicked or evaded. >unless your signals are somet

It kind of is, actually. Cloudflare, for example, uses a single CAPTCHA to prevent ongoing DDoS attacks. If they switched to this new reCAPTCHA and if a DDoSer can use Selenium to get past the challenge, then the CAPTCHA process has failed.

Yeah, I feel like it won't be too long before spammers start finding ways to emulate users without having to solve any CAPTCHAs. Google is likely going to need to switch their 98%/2% to something more like 80%/20% (that is, 2

Exactly. It's perfectly reasonable to present users who disable JS with a one-time CAPTCHA they have to solve to use the site. Many sites just (usually unintentionally) prevent users with Javascript disabled from navigating a site at a

I understand pointers and structs just fine, it's just that you would think a modern language like Go would avoid use of pointers to structs and "bring-your-own-buffer" type calling conventions except wherever possible. It ma

No, I don't think all code should be open source at all. Humanity isn't worse off for it if you don't release the source, but you could potentially make humanity better off by releasing it. If you keep it to yourself foreve

It is a sense of entitlement, but it's far more reasonable. If you spent years working on a codebase which at least a few people liked enough to use, is it really worth dumping all that code in the trash for all of eternity just becaus

Because she's (sort of) a public figure and if it was revealed she was lying, it would look very bad for her? She also hasn't had a history of lying about such things in the past, so there's no reason to suspect she is now. S

You're describing an overly optimistic scenario. "Why not just harden all your machines?" Because it's more complicated than that. Yes, you can automate basic hardening (configuration of access controls, limited use of S

"KingOfPol" is known for lying and generally being not too mentally stable, so it's certainly not a stretch. Sarkeesian on the other hand is unlikely to lie about such things, but there was clearly some exaggeration involved.

Yep, I think both parties are sort of in the wrong. It's silly how Express currently handles routes, and it's silly of the Netflix engineer to suggest that they should use maps instead.

I use RE2 and currently achieve this with regular string concatenation. Do you know if they provide an API for doing this without concatenation, and if it would be faster?

I know very little of NFAs/DFAs/FSMs, or even string parsing in general, but a year ago I built a URL matching engine using exactly this method in Python, in combination with Google's RE2 library ( https://code.goog

Where are you drawing this line between religion and ethics? Jews believe it is wrong to eat pork, vegans believe it is wrong to eat animals. What makes one of these beliefs a protected status and one not? >How do you actually determine

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Religious diets are not voluntary, but choice of religion is voluntary. Vegetarian/vegan diets adhering to an ethical philosophy are not voluntary, but choosing to accept an animal rig

Religion and/or ethics are completely different from distaste.
