It would be really great to have some GUI frameworks for the common platforms (including web!) designed to do this and have some opinions on common shortcuts for common actions so we can standardize on something.

It's still valuable to raise the cost of scraping of course. I don't think anything can really stop a determined scraper from impersonating a human. I wonder though if a system similar to Anubis but mining some crypto would make bots _welcome_ - since they're paying for their traffic.

The solution my team eventually settled on to the dedup, buffering, and race problems was:

  * When a webhook came in, store a single copy of the payload (usually json) in some temporary storage and enqueue the id.
  * Any subsequent updates (while the id was enqueued) overwrote that payload and skipped the queue.

We didn't have a great solution for the bootstrap problem though.

I do like the SCROLL proposal, but I wonder about the cost of keeping around log-structured data forever - every log structured DB I know about does compactions for this reason.

Still good news for those wanting to see broader Linux adoption, but the news really is the usage was correctly recognized as Linux for the first time.

Form tags usually contain other elements - textboxes, checkboxes, etc. The url and method are specified on the form tag and not the button, so if you want a second submit button that goes to a different URL or use a different method, you need to duplicate all the other inputs in a separate form tag with your button.

All of this can be done with scripting, but the point of this proposal is to make that unnecessary.

Amazing line.

Yes this does threaten Blizzard's business model so I understand why they'll go after Turtle, but that doesn't mean we have to care or let them prosecute Turtle for Contempt of Business Model.

Now, if Turtle used Blizzard's WoW trademarks to advertise and make money, I fully agree that violates their _trademarks_ and can be litigated as such. But if Turtle somehow didn't do that (and still sold access to their compatible WoW backend), I'd be interested to hear if that is somehow still a copyright violation.

I think this is referring to the Japanese rail payment cards? I know you can use them on things like vending machines, but from the article it seems like the Triforce cabinets let you save game progress on them too, which would be a great feature I've never seen in US arcades.

That's the theory, but I don't know how far LiteBox is along to supporting that workflow.
