Them being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.

You can hate cloudflare all you like, but only a certified dumbass would try to pretend this feature is somehow enabled by their market dominance…

To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

If rust code relies on a C API (as it necessarily does), then a breaking change to the API requires changing that rust code. This is common sense.

If a process is set up for deferring rust maintenance to a rust developer, this can only last as long as rust maintainers are willing to staff it.

If C developers are unwilling to accept any risk of needing to touch rust code in the future, then rust contributions should not have been allowed in the first place.

Allowing rust contributions and then imposing restrictions on what can be done with it? That’s not reasonable.

“WYGIWYG” - love it

Yes

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

Oh, it wasn’t bought… It was bough

This is legal? BRB just setting up my own “repair service”

Google operates the same way, and unfortunately individual schools don’t have the expertise to go open source. Needs to be a government program to host the open source solutions - could save heaps of money that way too.

What I like is that the products are good and that the company doesn’t engage in shitty exploitative business practices

IT Crowd is cringe even for British humour, and has an unusual level of absurdity too

The article doesn’t say that you must support all people’s names, only that you should make fewer of the assumptions (not even none)

There are thousands of great open source projects looking for contributors…

Sniper’s dream we used to call him

Should’ve just left it in the road and walked off lol. It’s the company’s problem now… Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Federated social media you mean? It’s not. There are other forms of decentralisation which focus on privacy
