Nah this is pretty concrete. There's a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries...

We also found that, unlike similar US studies, there was no significant bias against female students. In fact, there was some evidence of positive bias, or preference, for female students.

And then, in the caption:

Our study found academics did not discriminate against potential candidates based on gender.

Some mild irony there

But in seriousness, really good to see this quantified, but sadly not a huge surprise

Them being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.

You can hate cloudflare all you like, but only a certified dumbass would try to pretend this feature is somehow enabled by their market dominance...

Honestly, those don't matter at all, except for debugging the crawling

Link to it from other frequently indexed websites. Post it on Facebook, Reddit, blogs etc.

New Zealander here. A lot of the lower limits being rolled back were specifically targeting school zones. This is genuinely about children's safety

No, they changed it so you don't need an account to view patch notes

One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I'm so glad Lemmy has this too.

I clicked that link and the first dozen results were Reddit posts and garbage

The game has pretty good freecam support while spectating, they just didn't use it I guess

To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

Loved my QC25s until they broke. The new versions are a pain to keep charged...

Not sure how this will be received in this community. Happy to remove if it's not a good fit.

This puzzle was incredibly polarising when I posted it on reddit. Some hated it with a fiery pashion, others loved the twist.

I like to think that the haters just didn't get it...

As always, perfect score is possible. Good luck!

As always, these are tougher than official puzzles, but a perfect score is 100% achievable. Good luck!

Apologies if this is a purist community. I'll delete my post if this is out of place.

I've started making custom puzzles which take a little bit more thinking than the NYT ones, but are not quite as hard as OnlyConnect. Would love feedback on whether people want more!
