Interview Prompt
A public API caps each client at `max_requests` calls within any `window_seconds`-long stretch of time. Given `calls`, the arrival timestamps in the order they came in, return a parallel list of booleans marking each call accepted (True) or turned away (False).
Summary
Too many requests in too short a timeframe. Throttle it.
