Plus the CBD one appeared when I had the "Kid Friendly" filter selected :-|

Love the site and the idea, but struggling to understand the criteria needed for a +EV bet. Would one site need to have a positive moneyline bet on team A, then another site have a positive moneyline bet on team B... assuming team A & B are playing each other?

I had a different idea, but the goal was basically the same: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/4133971_Making_the_...

Basic idea is to have a system call that allows library writers to get the bounds of a pointer. This way they can ensure they're not writing too much data to a location.

Another idea I've implemented in userspace is to create an allocator that allocates a page (via mmap) then set protections on the page before and after. The pointer returned aligns the end at the next page. If a write goes beyond the end of the pointer, it bumps into the protected page, and causes a fault. Then you can handle this fault, and detect an overflow.

A even more strict version of this is to add protection to the page the allocated pointer is assigned to. On _every_ write you get a fault, and can check that it's not out-of-bounds.

All of these methods are slow-as-hell, but detect any memory issues. While slow, they are faster than valgrind (not badmouthing it, it's an amazing tool!). So the recommendation is to use it in testing and CI/CD pipelines to detect issues, then switch to a real allocator for production.

Highly depends what you're trying to do

> "Talk benefits, not features" doesn't work!

I don't think this is true... It's more nuanced than this. Developers are much more skeptical of a "benefits" pitch, and care more about a "features" (and limitations as mentioned above) pitch. However, if you're just pitching a developer, you're probably only pitching the user, not the buyer. The buyer VERY much cares about the benefits, otherwise they're not buying. The buyer won't using a single feature, so that type of marketing is lost on them.

This is the challenge: the right message (features or benefits) to the right person (user or buyer) AND at the right time!

>For example, you cannot easily perform the equivalent of the following command: cat /log/file | grep some-string | my-custom-script-for-analysis

You can with log-store[1], as it allows you to run custom Python commands to do _exactly_ this!
