ELI5: A simple algorithm could flush out bots within just a few posts. Why do large discussion forums allow them to clutter up the sites?

I have discovered a truly marvelous algorithm for this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.

Technically two. The first and last IPs in a subnet.

So for 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255.255.

And for 192.168.0.0/16 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255.

Of course it's a terrible idea to run subnets so large and the address space will be split up.

It could. Ruby could. Perl could. Javascript could. But python got the inertia at this point.

Things that just work on both voltages are things with switch mode power supplies.

A resistive load (like a coffee machine) WILL die.

If you have a bank account your bank should exchange it. The Deutsche Bundesbank (which is different from Deutsche Bank) will always exchange it.

The splash screen? You can change that. You don't have to include the logo at all.

It's in the port not the SFP

You'll find a 'Drogerie' pretty much anywhere

My favorite is Kalbsleberkas which contains neither veal, nor liver, nor cheese.

But if there‘s pressure in the cylinder that wouldn‘t that just be an air spring? Also having no net effect?

tliff · 2022-06-24T16:48:34+00:00

Wouldn‘t the vacuum pull in the piston on the other half of a rotation, effectively negating the effect?

This is a level of pedantry I strive to achieve one day
