Given how slowly Italian law typically moves, Cloudflare had more than enough time to take corrective action. The tone would likely have been far more accommodating had Cloudflare attempted to contact the authorities and negotiate its position. Instead, it appears that, in all likelihood, nothing was done after 23 violations. What exactly was the CEO expecting?
- I really wonder why this project have not been developed in .NET core. I would have then been possible to embed this in .NET projects increasing the available number of libraries in the ecosystem. Also it woul have leverages .NET GC which is better than Go. Rewriting in Go really doesn't make sense to me.

- Ding's was not objective neither thoughful, Ding was completely melted down after the interview and the interview was a reflection of that. Chess is a drawn game and the gist of playing chess is to be more resilient, blunder less and exploit as many of the chances you got in your game. Matches and games are won exactly because the opponent doesn't make the best of his chances. This is the cruel nature of the game. A player like Carlsen, Karpov , Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Topalov or any other world champion would have felt entitled to win the last game playing White after Gukesh missed a crucial chance to close the match the game before. But no, Ding played to draw and swap pieces even when he had the initiative in the 14th game. And he lost the game with a club player blunder because he still insisted on exchanging pieces when down a pawn. It's basic knowledge that pawn endgames are decisive and you have always to calculate them exactly when entering one, that when one is down material he has to exchange pawns but not pieces, and that in general rook endgames are slighly easier to play than pawn endgames. Any master would have insisted on shuffling the rook and would have never thinked of exchanging pieces in that situation. The fact that he exchanged the rook is a reflection of Ding's terrible form.
- Unfortunately Magnus is 100% right. Some of the mistakes and choices that were made by Ding are at chess club level strength. Sad to say but this is the truth. The mistake on the final game is absolutely orrible, something never seen in a WCC before. Another example in game 5, Ding plays brillantly and gains a small initiative and gains a pawn then, instead of trying to press, he gives two pawns back with the intention of entering an opposite color bishop endgame. You are not supposed to play to drawn when you are better. And there are several other instances of this in the match. Gukesh deserved the win for the fighting spirit but honestly the games were not at WCC level. I believe that Gukesh will redeem himself as Karpov did after winning for forfait against Fischer but today it's a sad day for chess.
- Worst WCC in the history of chess. I would have been able to draw the endgame in the final game myself ( 1800 FIDE ) just by shuffling the rook around. Apart from game one, Ding was a shade of his former self, and played most of the time to swap pieces even when he had the initiative.
- My experience with Copilot's productivity estimates differs significantly from these figures. As someone who rarely consults Stack Overflow, I've found their estimates to be exaggerated. During a recent 2-hour coding session (yesterday), I found Copilot's contributions to be minimal. The only substantial benefit was a single autocomplete suggestion for a unit test, which saved me approximately 5 minutes. While this may seem insignificant, it represents a mere 4% time savings in a focused coding session.Interestingly, I rejected at least 70% of Copilot's suggestions during this session. Most were either obvious or didn't align with my coding style. Your estimates appear to be based on scenarios where developers frequently consult external resources like Stack Overflow. Given that I don't typically seek help from such platforms, these estimates do not reflect my experience at all.
