Usually NYT sets a cookie to track how many free articles you read and once you exceed that, you get the paywall. The bots probably don't set/send the cookies, so NYT doesn't block them. Also, I'd imagine the bots are coming from various different IPs so even server side blocking based on IP wouldn't block everything and eventually the bot would get to the article. User Agents can also be spoofed.

How is this different from Factorio?

I manage a stack like this, we have dedicated hardware running a steady state of backend processing, but scale into AWS if there's a surge in realtime processing needed and we don't have the hardware. We also had an outage in our on prem datacenter once which was expensive for us (I assume an insurance claim was made), but scaling to AWS was almost automatic, and the impact was minimal for a full datacenter outage.

If we wanted to optimize even more, I'm sure we could scale into Azure depending on server costs when spot pricing is higher in AWS. The moral of the story is to not get too locked into any one provider and utilize some of the abstraction layers so that AWS, Azure, etc are just targets that you can shop around for by default, without having to scramble.

Could it be you're allergic to your laundry detergent or something introduced when washing it?

I thought $0.50 was low for this math to work out, but turns out 30 million copies of Stardew Valley have been sold, so that's $15 million, which over 60 years is $250k/year.

Still though I have no clue if $0.50 is normal take home per copy sold for a self published game (it seems low), but I'm very happy he's doing well for himself and hopes he makes more per copy sold. I've bought the game 4 times, so I'm doing my part!

Exactly, with Nintendo's existing IP and old gamers dying, they need a way to get younger generation exposed to what kids in the 80s and 90s grew up with and make sure that it's plastered on all the streaming websites to get maximum exposure.

It's a device to make phone calls, but that's not important right now.

Not having reproducible builds is definitely weird though. Does anybody have more information on that?

They boast this as a feature, but on the instructions for how to do this for iOS, even Telegram admits "As things stand now, you'll need a jailbroken device, at least 1,5 hours and approximately 90GB of free space to properly set up a virtual machine for the verification process". Browsing the steps, it's extremely complex, and doesn't seem like something that is very user friendly and that you'd do weekly or monthly when a new version is released.

On the GitHub issue linked to in the body, it's disingenuous to claim they refused to implement this, and that the technical hurdles Apple has in place make this extremely difficult which halted progress. In the community forums where the conversation was moved to, someone pointed out that even if you were to reproduce it on a jailbroken iPhone, that there's no way to confirm that non-jailbroken iPhones aren't receiving a version with a backdoor.

And even if you are using a jailbroken device exclusively and can confirm the reproducibility of the iOS app, then the risk becomes the latest available jailbroken iOS could be outdated from the real versions, and you'd have other issues with not receiving timely security updates. This same issue applies to Telegram also.

What's wrong with Authy?

Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....

Windows is banned in my household, so l'm not worried about malware.

This is a false sense of security and just because you're not running Windows doesn't mean you're immune to everything and can let your defenses down. For example, KDE recently had to announce that downloading themes will execute arbitrary code and cited someone who had personal information deleted because of downloading a theme.

Jesus, that is horrible.

State legislators from the area passed a law allowing Schlitterbahn to self-inspect its attractions without state oversight as it did in Texas, unlike all other amusement parks in Kansas, which were subject to state inspection.

Verrückt permanently closed in 2016 following a fatal incident involving the decapitation of Caleb Schwab, the 10-year-old son of Kansas state legislator Scott Schwab.
