Yes, Outside of US. No, not using Firefox. VPN has little to no effect, when it happens. I even tried their own product cloudflare-wrap. It makes things worse sometime, which is an irony.

Privacy pass needs to be configured/enabled on the website's end or zone, no? I'm somewhat skeptical on using such extensions, I would rather avoid going to the websites unless it's a necessity.


Hmm, I didn't realize Privacy Pass was an opt-in. That's too bad. That didn't seem to be the case when it came out, but maybe they changed it or maybe I just misremembered.

In that case, I have some bad news for you (which you already experience every day). Cloudflare lets website owners have different security levels for different countries. I think it's pretty common for some websites (especially smaller ones with a primarily US audience) to lock down other countries tighter. At one job I had to do that, and we altogether banned all Chinese and Russian IPs in Cloudflare -- on purpose. Overnight, bots and scans went from tens of thousands a day to virtually zero. We locked down other countries too, but not quite so tightly. It was selfish of us, but as a small business with mostly American customers, it was a tradeoff we chose. I would imagine other orgs make similar rules under pressure.

I don't post much and if I do it's usually about programming and tech.


Wow, this is so cool! My goal of this year is much more simpler. Hopefully this year, I will solve all of them using a Functional programming Language named Elixir [0]. So far, I'm loving it! The source code is available on GitHub [1]

The repository also contains couple of mix tasks to generate boilerplate codes for each solve. And update the readme automatically on each commit to list the problems that I've solved so far.

Oh! I almost forgot it is worth mentioning the creator of Elixir Language "José Valim" also solves these problems and streams them on twitch [0].

Those are helpful to learn different approaches to solving these problems.

Exploring Elixir & Phoenix. Solved some AOC & exercism problems with it, and wrote a BF compiler. So far, enjoying every bit of it. The language itself is beautiful! Codes are available on my Github[1] account :).

I’ve been doing the same in fact. I’ve always had a soft spot for Erlang (and now Elixir). I wrote a pretty large Erlang app back in college for a distributed system in a Biology research project.

I’ve been enjoying working with it - taking a little break but definitely enjoying Phoenix as well. It’s been refreshing to work through a “big” web framework that feels straightforward to reason about.


Here's a great course from Udemy using Elixir and Phoenix: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix...


What inspired the BF compiler project?


I thought it will be easy to implement and also a bit of nostalgia.

I was a 2nd/3rd semester CS student at that time when I saw BF code for the first time on a Competitive programming platform named SPOJ[0]. Later, I found it again on a code golfing website[1].

I thought it would be fun to learn as the language only had 8 commands! I learned it and wrote a tutorial[2] on my native language for my best friend so that we could have some fun together with it :D

What is "AOC"?


maybe adventofcode?


Yes, I meant the Advent of Code.


I'm learning Elixir & Vim this year. I hope to become productive with vim and make it my primary editor by replacing PyCharm, Sublime Text 3 & nano by the end of this year :)

I am also taking notes of all the resources that I'm finding useful and have some plans to utilize my spare time to publish those as a series of blog articles(hopefully). Merely to share my vim & elixir journey on my personal blog[0] :)

Amazing! I also learned chess with the same rule when I was a kid. I didn't know it was known as Indian chess! Except, in some variations, castling was allowed. Also, another variation allowed two different pawns to move a single square on "Move 1" for both Black and White.
