Does GitHub have an alternative here? A Git-compatible protocol with anonymous access that is DDoS-resilient?
Does all of that access really need to be anonymous access? I get that it’s convenient. But let’s be practical; they have to manage anonymous bot spam somehow.
Our aim is to make public repositories accessible without authentication as much as possible. However, like much of the Internet, we continue to see significant increases in the volume of robot traffic recently which has increased the need for verification, for example CAPTCHAs.
As I expected, it’s about combating (excessive) bot traffic.

I see, thanks

Python is well liked and beloved, but it never captivated me or felt intuitive.
Writing magic init logic feels like a hacky workaround, like putting frameworks and concepts around what is, at its core, a scripting language. If you’re committed to it, maybe you’ll get past that barrier and find it’s good, I don’t know, I never got there. From outside, and with experience in other languages/ecosystems, it just never felt correct to me.
Have you considered alternatives? For example, C#/dotnet?
Just my experience/opinion. As I said, it seems well beliked by others. I can’t speak for their views or experiences.
The clarity of Activity Monitor.
The depth of Task Manager.
The speed of a cockpit.What is “a cockpit”?
ha, nice pic
Just summarizing the title teasers:
10x faster by switching from JavaScript to Golang. Rust was not feasible because it does not have a GC/does not support circular dependencies, and they have many of those, and did not want a rewrite but a minimal effort switch.
AI may produce a lot more code, but what code does “90% of code” refer to. AI is not capable of novel or complex stuff, you still need humans in the loop. Juniors remain significant to train them into seniors.
