DHT has existed for 17 years - the cat's out of the bag. The anti-piracy companies have built their own crawlers.

It's only suction's caramalized onion pasta sauce if it comes from the self-loathing region of France. Otherwise it's just sparking onion sauce.

Bitnami broke their MongoDB Helm chart. We're careful to pin versions, and hadn't anticipated someone would re-write history and break published code.
Can't get too upset, we don't pay them anything. Not in a rush to use them again though.
Ysx | 5 years ago | on: People work longer and different hours under lockdown
I think that's more applicable to remote work generally.
Lockdown is a different and and new scenario, more akin to Groundhog Day. Work can be a relief.

I'd have solved it same way as the article, as they're tools I'm familiar with - feels like overkill though. How would you have managed it?

Ysx | 7 years ago | on: When optimising code, never guess, always measure
Oh you're right, that's interesting - have replicated your result.
"a2 = a2+c; c = c+2" is still fastest on both 2 and 3, though don't know enough to say why.
Ysx | 7 years ago | on: When optimising code, never guess, always measure
Red herring perhaps - seems due to the inplace add. It's quicker yet if you take out the multiple assigment:
$ for STMT in "a2, c = a2+c, c+2" "a2 += c; c += 2" "a2 = a2+c; c = c+2"; do
echo \[$(python3 -m timeit "a2 = 1; c = 1; $STMT")\] $STMT
done | sort -n
[... 0.0547 usec per loop] a2 = a2+c; c = c+2
[... 0.0569 usec per loop] a2, c = a2+c, c+2
[... 0.0608 usec per loop] a2 += c; c += 2Ysx | 7 years ago | on: Plastic Bag Found at the Bottom of World's Deepest Ocean Trench
