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.


How do you deal with the lack of community packages that Python has. I wanna try Nim but that is the only thing stopping me right now.


It is a big lack if you want to start a complex project, I cannot deny it.

But at the scope I code, it presents itself as a way for me to solve the problem by myself.


Not exactly what you asked for (full email client), but DeltaChat is an email client disguised as an instant messaging app.


Still an American centralized platform. Federated Matrix is the way to go!


"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.


I wouldn't read into blocked vs filtered. The report itself doesn't differentiate. This is just a BBC journalist trying to use varied vocabulary which is nicer to read.


or, it's a BBC editor ensuring that china 'blocks' and the west 'filters' because that matches editorial policy.

for all we know the original text from the journalist could say 'remove' in both places - without context, we don't really know.


>... that matches editorial policy.

Can you please link us to their editorial policy that you're using as a source for this? For all we know this could just be an entirely speculative, biased asserition on your part - without context, we don't really know.


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.


Are you having much success with it? What platform are you using? I've wanted to do something similar in Rust.

Or if your bot is just _finding_ the pairs now but not trading, is there a platform you plan to use?


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.


FYI, if you own a relatively recent Samsung phone, the dual audio feature allows you to play audio to multiple Bluetooth devices.

We use it on long flights to watch movies together.

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.


Hi, could you provide some more information regarding how one can force the server to leak more information than it should? I have been stuck with this exercise for quite some time and am honestly out of ideas.


I'm genuinely curious,

How do they regulate oxygen levels?

Or are those levels more or less the same as on the ground but it's the pressure that incommodes?


The pressure changes with altitude, not the gas makeup. So at 35kft/10.6km the air is still 21% oxygen. The gp is right, the engines bleed off some of the fresh air from the compressor stages in the engine, before the combustion stage, and use that to supply the cabin. This is called Bleed Air - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air


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.


Yes! It’s sometimes even more than that, going up to 55 degrees (measured at the St-Laurent/René-Lévesque crossing), which makes North more West than North..!

Street name suffixes follow the “Montreal convention” too, using East/West (when it should be N/S). My impression is that this is because the city is easier to look at horizontally (it’s closer to a 16:9 movie resolution) than a very vertical portrait.

MajorSauce, could you please contact me? (email in profile). I’m working in Montréal on a project related to emergency services (which you seem to be doing as well, from your profile). Thanks!
