What is the advantage of using your service vs coming up with the prompt template myself, which shouldn't be too hard to do tbh.

I hope there's some real consequence of DMCA abuse like this. I hope companies would announce HackerRank boycott in hiring process. There are better alternatives tbh

It's interesting to note that WSL uses 9p to mount the filesystem on Windows. Had MSFT taken a more FOSS-friendly approach, we could've had a burgeoning FUSE ecosystem built around 9p.

What pain point of Python as an education language is Pyret trying to address? Union type might be vaguely useful, although some of these use cases can be modelled as inheritance or typed enums.

I agree TCO is an essential part of the Web ecosystem. What's interesting there is an ensuing discussion with panels from MS where they argue difficulties of having TCOs due to Windows calling conventions.
