As someone who works for a large CDN and who has been working in the networking space for over two decades, the one thing that really bothers me about CF is how hyperbolic they are on their blog and twitter.

They surely have done a lot of interesting work, but they'd lead you to believe they're hosting half the internet, and invented every advancement to CDNs in the last decade.

Ooh, watch out. If you have a talking tin foil hat, it was likely provided to you by a corporate entity. (This is a poor joke about sourcing tin foil hats)
Very good bill! Definitely moving in the right direction.

Some thoughts:

1)Helmet laws:

I've always found helmet requirements pretty arbitrary: if runners who run at 10-15mph aren't required to wear helmets, why force them onto cyclists and scooter users?

Such laws have been known to adversely affect ridership, which, in turn, decreases safety for everyone because drivers don't expect cyclists/scooter users. I've seen a study that found that the net effect is that helmet laws decrease safety.

2)No sidewalk riding:

Good. I'd argue that even if bicycles could be OK on sidewalks, e-scooters/e-bikes should not be, because there's no incentive for e-vehicles to go slowly on sidewalks.

For cyclists, intermittent slowdowns enforce a low speed, because it takes effort to accelerate. But on an e-scooter, all it takes is a turn of a handle to get to 15mph in a very short span of time.

So, while there's a physical cost for cyclists going too fast, there isn't one for e-scooter users.
Interesting, I thought they were measuring runtime when they said cpu time. AWS Lambda is priced on runtime so I figured it would work the same. Thanks for pointing this out.

I re-read the article and it is indeed cpu time not runtime for Cloudflare Workers. Sweet!

The part of the article that clarifies this:

> This is not meant to be a referendum on AWS billing, but it’s worth a quick mention as the economics are interesting. Lambdas are billed based on how long they run for. That billing is rounded up to the nearest 100 milliseconds, meaning people are overpaying for an average of 50 milliseconds every execution. Worse, they bill you for the entire time the Lambda is running, even if it’s just waiting for an external request to complete. As external requests can take hundreds or thousands of ms, you can end up paying ridiculous amounts at scale.

> Isolates have such a small memory footprint that we, at least, can afford to only bill you while your code is actually executing.

> In our case, due to the lower overhead, Workers end up being around 3x cheaper per CPU-cycle. A Worker offering 50 milliseconds of CPU is $0.50 per million requests, the equivalent Lambda is $1.84 per million. I believe lowering costs by 3x is a strong enough motivator that it alone will motivate companies to make the switch to Isolate-based providers.
> "I think this is popular because ability to easily read it signals both health (good eyes) and wealth (good screens)."

Perhaps. But I always presumed the good eyes, good screen, and lack of empathy belonged to the designer. These same site too often seem to have experiences based on an ultra-fast connection, as opposed to a wonky 4G (at best) connection.

You might be right. But I've sat in meetings and/or shared office space with low-UX-IQ designer / frontend types.

Jails and Zones are essentially containers - they're ways of isolating process from each other by basically constraining what they can see and change, at the kernel level.

What they're describing is actually running code from multiple people on the same process.
I liked the CA prop a few years ago that pushed fees into your vehicle registration and just made it free to arrive if you showed a registration.

It would have made the parks a lot more sustainable in terms of revenue and increase the quality while making it cheaper for anyone who went more than once or twice a year.

So this honestly isn't a reason to leave a company, if so you'll never stay anywhere very long. But I do understand and can respect the frustration. Although I am a little confused on your comment, as you say, "...we are slowly trying to move our GitLab CI pipeline from shell executors to docker executors...", so if it is already happening just not fast enough for you that is a different issue than it not happening at all. But let's assume your lead sees no advantage to the move so it isn't happening at all.

This is just another perspective that you should consider. While you feel this change is needed and important now, he is likely weighing schedule risk, retraining and costs of implementing this change across the organization. And the costs go up considerably as you increase the size of the team, adding 50 people in the past 90 days alone is a herculean undertaking. So likely, he isn't seeing the value of the docker executors given the costs and risks to the schedule and product cycle today. That does NOT mean you are wrong, he just doesn't see it, yet.

You can, of course, use the same argument why moving to a more productive environment is important, e.g. a growing team needs to be as efficient as possible to not waste dollars.

But you have to understand that as a leader he is likely comfortable with this part of the system right now (e.g. it works overall) because it does work, even if not perfectly efficient, plus he's probably worrying about 10 other things that are in the pipeline. So essentially you are coming to him and saying, hey this thing that works, we should change it. So he doesn't understand the need for this type of change without more context and a solid value prop. You may want to ask some other devs that have been there awhile to see what they think, do NOT ask new hires. Get feedback from them to see if you are on the right track on something that is important, don't do it with the intent to "gang up on" anyone or to undermine your lead, but to get data points so you can make a solid case.

For context I am a CTO of a funded startup, and if my team wants to change something that is working (even if less than ideally working), they better come to me with a well thought out case because we have a ton of stuff to deliver on. But if it is well thought out and has merit they will get heard and maybe asked to show a POC so we can weigh options. However, if someone just walks up and says we should do this cause it is better, my default answer will be no, until it is shown to solve pain we (or our clients) are having now or can solve an issue we will be facing in the near term future. Because while I care about keeping technical debt under control, I care more about the business making it to the next level. There is a fine balance here though, and I recognize it isn't always ideal.

> The PCIe interfaces SSDs that Apple's been using allow really fast speeds of upto 3Gbps, which is almost double those offered by other interfaces like M2 or even more faster than SATA.

Nonsense. NVMe is an industry standard, M.2 supports it, just like many SSDs. A Samsung 970 Pro SSD does 3.5 GB/s (not Gbps; SATA II already did 3 Gbps well over ten years ago).

Incidentally, Samsung 970 Pro SSDs come at a fraction of Apple's upgrade costs.

Pasting section 2.5.4 here:

Multitasking apps may only use background services for their intended purposes: VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications, etc. If your app uses location background mode, include a reminder that doing so may dramatically decrease battery life.

Screen time inference is clearly not an intended purpose for location, since the actual location data obtained has no connection to it (i.e. to #1 above; note we're interpreting "purpose" from the user's perspective). It sounds like the rep is misinformed, or that the TOS needs to be updated with an explicit exception.

But this thing only runs JavaScript. The constant AWS bashing in this article doesn't make sense when the only fair comparison they can make here is AWS Lambda with a Node.js runtime against Cloudfare Workers.
I also have mild astigmatism, but I find I prefer dark themes nonetheless - I think it is legitimately a little harder to read, because I just tabbed over to Discord to check and realized I was using a larger font size than I'd usually use in other applications, and that the text definitely was a little harder to focus on compared to white-on-black text of the same font size.

It's just that I like having my backlight blasted in my face even less, so it adds up to a sufficiently more pleasant reading experience that I switch everything to dark theme when I can.

This is interesting to read, because from the perspective of a backer, Indiegogo is much less concerned about its users being scammed, allowing for creators to pitch products with the barest of evidence that they're acting in good faith. They also have lower standards for what can be sold, and basically allows manufacturers to treat it as another distribution channel -- e.g. a storefront for things you can already find on Alibaba [0].

KS obviously has its own problematic campaigns -- if you aren't doing anything overtly scammy, they aren't going to try their hardest to look for reasons to stop you and lose their percentage cut of the campaign funs. But they do have standards when the bullshit is outright. Too many examples to list, but one of the most prominent and hilarious examples is the SKARP laser razor. It raised $4M on Kickstarter before KS was finally pressured to act on the obvious fake engineering and faked prototype [1]. SKARP immediately found a new home at Indiegogo [2], where it raised $500,000 and, 3 years later, has produced nothing while its creators have gone completely dark.

Indiegogo straight up has fewer guarantees about accountability, allowing creators to not only opt for "flexible funding" (they keep whatever money they get even if the campaign fails), but to continue collecting pre-orders after the end-date, and to change up the campaign rewards so that anyone looking at the page a year later won't know what was actually promised when the campaign first raised the bulk of its money. Waterseer, which was one of a batch of bullshit "water from thin air" products, had pitched a $130 violation-of-the-law-of-physics [3] when it raised $330K+ last year. Its homepage now pretends to sell a completely different product, with the creator pretending like the previous fake product never existed, and Indiegogo has apparently agreed to join in the coverup, allowing the creator to completely change the page and content with no mention to current or past readers that anything has changed. Here's the old page, and here's the current page [4], here's a copy from Internet Archive [5]. Indiegogo seems to have no qualms with creators wiping out the past -- KS at the very least forbids changes to the campaign page after the fundraising ends.

> it just feels plain wrong whenever there is a government shutdown

I don't know why Americans put up with that silly government shutdown nonsense. In most countries that never happens. I think the solution is really simple – all a President has to do is call Congress' bluff and order the government to stay open, and to apply the previous budget on a pro rata basis.

"But that's illegal!", people say. Well, it would violate the Antideficiency Act. But, the Antideficiency Act is rather toothless. Nobody has ever been prosecuted for violating it, and the President can always use prosecutorial discretion and the power of pardon to prevent any such prosecutions. Would the Supreme Court order the government to close? Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't, the Supreme Court is very unpredictable. But, assuming it doesn't, Congress can either accept it, or impeach and remove the President. Given removal of a President requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, it probably wouldn't happen.

I worked at Yelp 2 years ago and can say that the main reason is definitely because web traffic is not reliable, it changes with Google ranking changes. And Google and Yelp are not good friends. They are super concerned with not dying if they stop showing up in Google.
Hackerload has opened his doors to pre-register to his amazing project
Hackerload has opened his doors to pre-register to his amazing project.

Pre-registration site: https://hackerload.com

Hackerload aims to create an online community of hackers, cyber-security professionals, computer-scientists and students in the field that are connected and empowered in ways that they never have been before.

Features:

Collaborative work

By uniting security researchers and developers, new ideas and solutions will be more frequent, instead of having each company make its own conclusions that may only benefit themselves while others could be suffering. Wouldn’t it be awesome if all companies adapt new software to improve their security?

Bug Bounty

Bug Bounty is an interesting way of improving a company’s security by offering money to hackers if they find a hole in the website’s software that allows attackers get access to sensitive information or resources.

Job board

A lot of hackers (researchers and developers) have a hard time searching for a job. That’s why we are creating a job board to help them find the right career in this awesome industry.

Social networking

Social networking plays a role in the Collaborative work. Users will be able to share news, information, their new tools, software to pentest and many other resources that may help this industry to progress and protect users.

Why do you guys assume your fathers haven't those issued covered? You think they are new issues?

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It's covered. We have decentralisation, scrutiny and from that comes the ability to secede.

No machine nor algorithm nor class is gonna take over and remove your right to pursue happiness. At least not permanently.

The point being, let's not make a reality of a possible future. Whatever future comes, we have it covered.
