Anyone else got the concept by conducting probe scanning in the MMO Eve Online?

Nim.

My current job is more focused on business processes and advising on cybersec, this means that coding for me is only for fun and side projects.

I love the syntax and the sufficient standard library. I would pick python every time, but Nim's performance and compilation to a single binary file makes everything so much simpler so I can focus on the features instead of having to optimize and manage dependencies.

I have completed Advent of Code in Nim this year and it has been a joy.

"It found:

    1,045 keywords blocked in mainland China
    542 in Hong Kong
    397 in Taiwan
In contrast, Japan, Canada and the US had between 170 and 260 filtered words."

A bit unrelated, but I find interesting that keywords are "blocked" in China and "filtered" in Japan/Canada/US.

So far the only exchanges where I found some opportunities are the ones that do have a public API, probably because there is less competition on those.

For example, I have yet to find a single profitable pair loop on Binance, despite parsing their WebSocket feed.

But on exchanges that implement anti-scripts, it is not uncommon to have pair loops with a ±1% profit after fees. The hassle is to implement trading with tools like Selenium to proceed with the trade.

I recently made a bot to find profitable cryptocurrency pairs loops and while most exchanges already have dozens of users doing exactly the same thing (if the exchange itself is not doing it), I really liked the motivation it gave me to start a new coding project in a language I did not touch for some time (C#) instead of my traditional python approach.

You post just inspired me to make something similar (whether stocks or crypto) and I wanted to thank you for that. I too see trading as pretty stressful and demoralising (even for trivial amounts) and implementing my own stocks/crypto manager could transform those failed trades into "that's interesting" moments.

I completed the challenge. You don't need to see the result of the entry to deduct if XSS is possible.

If the server is parsing your input, maybe you can find a way for the server to leak more than it wants.

If you want more information, or simply the answer, PM me.

I live near Montreal, while the street orientations are in a grid pattern, since there is a 45 degree orientation for most of them, "North" is by convention in fact NW.

It gets even more confusing on the NE part of the city, where Montreal's "East" is closer to true North and Montreal's North is closer to true West.

That was a great read, thanks!

Made me wonder what other thing our civilization could consider starting back from scratch to adjust to our modern ways of living.

For example, do we really need time to be set as this 365.25d/24h/60m/60s system? We could have something more convenient/modern/metric?

Same for days of the week and daylight saving time.

I know it would be absolutely impractical and costly, but I like to entertain the idea of adopting a better system.

I have made a habit to de-americanize my products and went with a Xiaomi phone (the Mi Mix 2) and installed LOS on it.

The only thing I am really missing is Google Maps and its precise, actual traffic augmented, predictions.

I've tried Waze, Bing and OSM, but there is always something missing.

Without diminishing the author's efforts, I would say that he quickly teaches his AI how to recognize The Onion articles, instead of satire articles in general.

I would be curious to see results with 3-4 news sources for each groups.

Yep, that was the last time I pushed for a Google messaging service to my family members who did not want to deal with Signal's limitations.

I hoped Google became self-conscious with their image on messaging services.

I hoped they had changed.

Time to check if Signal's desktop client sync speed improved and start the move for them.

This is irrelevant since he provides labor/services by himself.

You are telling me that if economy is properly working, a mother should not cut the daughter's hair since it should not be cost saving ?

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your point.

Great news!

My train / resources transport fix is met with Factorio ( https://www.factorio.com/ ) , if you are part of the few you don't know this game and love logistics/automation, give it a try.

But be prepared to sacrifice a bit of your social/love/professional life for a while..
