I have a server that has a slow (5s) response to unknown pages, returns it as 200, and makes the next failing request even slower (for unauthenticated users). That seems to keep the number of requests limited. Perhaps I should just drop the

What reason did you have to write that? The focus you put on "taking your money" in combination with "scam" suggest you think the aid is not real, or not merited.

They're freaking expensive, though. I just replaced a (probably) 25 year old fridge by one with a D label. The difference with a C or E label is small in energy use. I do notice that the exterior gets really less warm than the old mode

I think this shows a hit by a small meteorite or space shrapnel is well survivable. It might even be a thought that can help you cope.

I pinned the system version on 23H2. It does get other updates still.

Many of those instruments are based on 40 to 50 year old designs. They've released products that were simply not in the market anymore, or second-hand at exorbitant prices. That's not parasitic. Their production processes might no

They're not going to Paris, are they? 4chan brings their services into the UK. The US does the same thing: Kim Dotcom comes to mind.

Apart from the fact that its JS engine is really fast, Safari accepts WebAssembly. What else would you precompile it to?

No indexing ... I can definitely see how that happens.

For many people, it's a gateway to back-end development. You don't have to learn all those weird, ancient tools, you just write a bit of Python. Look at this simple example! And then they get stuck on it.

That was not the point. One of the ancestors said we're flooded in foreign news, to which another one replied "something something supply chains". While there used to be relevant info in the papers, there no longer is. Foreig

Before, foreign news would actually include articles about politics in other countries, and their economies. As an avid news paper reader, I knew the prime ministers of bunch of countries, what party they belonged, etc. Nowadays, you have t

I don't see it either when taking it literally. So that made me think: perhaps there's some cultural signal I'm not getting. Something that cannot be said out aloud.

Cultural issue, perhaps? Americans can say "we must have diner sometimes," while meaning "let's not meet again."

It's not even the fact that that belief is unfounded, but that he's actually equating a sense of security with security itself that makes that statement a bold yet easily overlooked lie. That he calls himself a social-democrat!

If it's speed you're after, much more analysis (and thus code) is needed. See V8.

What I mean by strict rules is (but not limited to): no profit for the organizer, loss limit for everyone across all bets, etc. But I don't know what set of rules would qualify to make gambling neutral. - Infrastructure is better off p

Gambling (without very strict rules) has a net negative outcome. You're not doing anything valuable, nor neutral, by gambling. So it could well be viewed as immoral.

If you have some time to fool around, try it for Advent of Code. I did last year, and while I'm not going to seriously consider it for my day job, I found it worthwhile.

Compiler speed is quite good, but --as OP-- I've only written AoC in Ada. I think Ada's advantage is the separation between package/module specification and body. If you change a body, the compiler only has to process that fi
