The point of a static cache is that your backend isn't impacted at all.

They'd also work if the bot, or another bot, hits that route before. It's a wiki, the amount of content is finite and each route getting hit once isn't a problem.

a static cache for anyone not logged in, and only doing this check when you are authenticated which gives access to editing pages?

edit: Because HN is throwing "you're posting too fast" errors again:

> That falls short of the "meets their needs" test. Authenticated users already have a check (i.e., the auth process). Anubis is to stop/limit bots from reading content.

Arch Wiki is a high value target for scraping so they'll just solve the anubis challenge once a week. It's not going to stop them.

Is that why it now shows that annoying slow to load prompt before giving me the content I searched for?

Just ask all the techbros on HN who earn shitloads more than what's possible in other countries

It might scale up but if you're anywhere near efficient you're way overprovisioned to begin with. The compute cost should be miniscule due to caching and bandwidth is cheap if you're not with one of the big clouds. As an example, according to dang HN runs on a single server and yet many websites that get posted to HN, and thus receive a fraction of the traffic, go down due to the load.

And what about services the US provides? Google and Microsoft are some of the biggest companies and bring a ton of money to the US, but this doesn't seem to be included in the calculation because they don't sell physical goods.

Javascript is also quite difficult to embed in other applications. So not much has changed, except it's no longer your language of choice.

The issue with Flow is that it's slow, flaky and has shifted the entire paradigm multiple times making version upgrades nearly impossible without also updating your dependencies, IF your dependencies adopted the new flow version as well. Otherwise you're SOL.

As a result the amount of libraries that ship flow types has absolutely dwindled over the years, and now typescript has completely taken over.

Lots of them do, with their own crappy webui that conceals all the useful functionality.
