I could keep going but it's a pretty significant improvement especially for small teams or solo developers.

With government subsidies everything can be made to look cheap. Not saying we should not subsidize some energy production, but nuclear seems like a woefully inefficient use of it.

>In 2010, as part of the progressive liberalisation of the energy market under EU directives, France agreed the Accès régulé à l'électricité nucléaire historique (ARENH) regulations that allowed third party suppliers access up to about a quarter of France's pre-2011 nuclear generation capacity, at a fixed price of €42/MWh from 1 July 2011 until 31 December 2025.[47][48][49]

> As of 2015, France's household electricity price, excluding taxation, is the 12th cheapest amongst the 28 member European Union and the second-cheapest to industrial consumers.[50] The actual cost of generating electricity by nuclear power is not published by EDF or the French government but is estimated to be between €59/MWh and €83/MWh.[51]

I subscribe to the NYT partly for the daily word games.

They had a survey a few months ago and that made me think about why... I realized many days, the only positive interaction with encouraging words for me was solving those games.

And I think your team did not think through before implementing your product. The GDPR and its consequences have been discussed for a very long time. And the product even managed to get locked into Azure.
How cynical, if that was what how colonialism there and everywhere else was like, wow..
If you listen to their earnings call, the CEO emphasizes that he wants Cloudflare to be positioned along side the Big Tech Cloud, not against. But, I think you're right. Cloudflare will slowly encroach into the space of Workers + Workers KV + Pages and double down on serverless + edge compute – chip away at Lambda/App-engine with a gateway type product to offer with it. Currently, they're mostly focused on CDN + ZeroTrust security.

Also they announced acquisition of Vetrix. I've never heard of it but seems interesting that they're venturing into app-level security market as well: https://cloudflare.net/news/news-details/2022/Cloudflare-Acq...

Cloudflare's genius is in offering free CDN service for most solo people. That seems to be like the way Photoshop allowed pirating of the software with little DRM control, get people to use the product first. I wish SalesForce did that, they have no free plan. For my scrappy company, we just use excel sheet for CRM.
I remember reading a very long time ago that someone did some research on this very subject and found that the majority of problems go away if you don't deal with them. They concluded that this could be part of the reason procrastination exists - procrastinators had a genetic advantage in saving a lot of energy.
Yeah, indeed, Hasura uses json_agg, which is similar but returns you a JSON string.

We use array_agg, so we often avoid data serialization altogether. Our binary protocol just lets the data messages pass through with the original binary encoding. And because we fully control the schema, we can make all sorts of interesting optimizations, like implementing high-perf data codecs on the client side to unpack data fast.
If you think that launching your app in a another region is hard, there is currently a case being evaluated in Europe which is evaluating the argument that even if the data never leaves the EU and the provider is a European entity but affiliated with or a subsidiary of a US company, that this is stil considered a violation.

So unfortunately just moving hardware locations may be insufficient, even forming a new entity won't suffice.

In my humble opinion we are witnessing the nationalization of the Internet, in the name of good intent, but eventually the risk vs reward calculation of doing business across the Atlantic (for either side) will tilt in the direction of avoiding the risk.

Although it could be argued that "good, laws are made for people not for businesses" I'd counter that a great deal of the free information published by US companies and non-profits will become unavailable in the EEA.

I'm hopeful that the DPAs and courts in Europe will decide to balance these concerns.

FWIW: I run one of the more popular data privacy platforms, Osano, so this is an area we track very closely and which is near and dear to my heart. I built Osano as a Public Benefit (and certifeid B-Corp) to try and prevent the nationalization of the Internet by giving businesses an easy way to respect the rights of their customers & visitors.
Cloudflare continues to be a great company to invest in and one that will make you some serious money if you go big. I have no doubt that they will achieve their goal of being the 4th public cloud. Zero.
My understanding is that a major reason why the Bay Area became the tech hub it did is because of academic institutions like Stanford and Berkeley, which in turn led to commercial enterprises like HP, Shockley, and Fairchild. From there, it was like dandelion seeds in the wind, with alumni from those companies going on to found AMD, Kleiner Perkins, Xerox PARC, etc.

It seems to me that, until UT Austin catches up with Stanford and Berkeley in its ability to churn out tech talent, we can apply Betteridge's law of headlines here (i.e. "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.").

If anything, the biggest threat to Silicon Valley's dominance seems to be the post-COVID trend of remote-friendly tech employers. That has already benefited Austin, but not exclusively so.

EDIT: Xerox PARC apparently shouldn't be included in that list. Its founders were Jack Goldman and George Pake, neither of whom were alumni of the companies or universities I mentioned.
bots can get phone numbers cheap, a cost of doing business. Speculation: Twitter wants your phone number so they can correlate you with existing marketing data so they can target you more effectively.
User growth? Why does it need user growth? It’s twitter, it’s been around a long time, everyone that wants to use a service like that knows what it is.

So much opposition with everything having to be bigger and bigger.
EdgeDB currently is. Graph-relational and EdgeQL are not.
Should HN have ads and become a revenue generating part of Y Combinator? Twitter and Reddit fall in a similar camp. Should they take the ad tech approach to sustain themselves?
Do you need a newish truck? In your situation I'd be inclined to spend $2000 buying and fixing up something that barely runs and selling the current vehicle. In two years you should be able to buy a new vehicle again at normal rates and get rid of the junker. Worst case for that would be something like donating it for a tax write off. In the end you should still come out ahead with extra cash and a slightly newer new vehicle.
Do some of your own hacking on hackthebox.com. It is shocking what can be done with only a week of security training by an already experienced programmer. It becomes clear that the typical software engineer doesn't give a single thought to security.

As a fellow C# aficionado, what do you think it's lacking right now? The main thing I really would like to see is support for discriminated unions - but outside of that, it's pretty awesome.
> This is a cost they factored into their HR budget in an attempt to impress and retain better employees; it is not done because companies are nice.

There are things factored into budgets that you're still not supposed to do. Stores have a cost set aside for shoplifting. That doesn't mean you're supposed to go shoplifting.

>They are also always free to change their circumstances to hire you; it is never "literally impossible" to hire someone...

I was using that phrase in exactly the opposite way from how you seem to have misread it. The fact that it's not literally impossible doesn't matter, because it's practically impossible.

>If I was really interested in the job, and they end up hiring another candidate... Is that fair?

Proper social skills requires understanding what's going on in social situations even if you have not been told everything. In our world, one of those situations is knowing that you are supposed to be willing to accept the chance of not getting the job when you spend your time applying.

In the same situation, the company is not supposed to be willing to accept the risk of the jobseeker fraudulently expressing interest in a job in order to get the free plane flight.

Now, the thing is, these are unsaid. You are won't find a big sign saying "chance of not getting job acceptable, chance of fake jobseeker unacceptable". If you're one of those Internet literalists who says "well, they didn't explicitly prohibit it", both of those look pretty similar. This is why social skills are a thing. If you're at a party and the host says "take as much soda as you want", you're not supposed to get a box, put ten bottles of soda in it, and take that out to your car. That's not acceptable, and you're supposed to know it's not acceptable, without being told.
It locks you in to Microsoft (or it did back then), it's unnecessary. It serves no actual purpose, other than to support that lockin.

A win32 exe will run on Windows 95 through Windows 10, for the most part. You don't need .NET for that to happen.

It's a trap, in other words.
Some probably do, but any GDPR-compatible website won't.

Word documents are most often required by 3rd party recruiters who want a convenient way to edit your CV before sharing it with an employer. It's not that common but it happens. That's why it's best to use pdf instead. If they insist on a word document, you can just refuse to work with them.
Coincidentally government transfer payments funded by deficit spending reached a new low for the year [1]. I'd also add CPI underestimates true inflation because it uses hedonic adjustments, but in real life consumers don't keep buying crappier and crappier products. If you use 1980 methodology for computing CPI it's around 15% annualized now [2].

I migrated from iCloud to FastMail about 5 years ago, and I'm very happy with FastMail. They do support YubiKeys, as well as TOTP.

Forwarding everything from the old account to the new account made it pretty easy so I only had one inbox to check, and I could take my time migrating all of my accounts to the new address. I also created a rule to sort things coming from my old account to a folder so I knew which accounts and subscriptions and whatnot I still needed to update to the new address. To this day I still have the old email forwarding, and occasionally something real comes through on it.

Fastmail also makes it easy to add other addresses on custom domains, so I have several email addresses that all deliver to the same inbox, with rules to sort them into the right folders.

It's probably because it's a business account and Google and LinkedIn have sold my address, but fwiw I receive about 100x more spam in my work gmail than I do in my personal fastmail account.

Of course we do.

We just choose not to bother because delivering features efficiently is often more valuable than shaving off a few seconds of download time. Especially when it's typically once off and then cached.

It’s a geopolitically grounded form of Protectionism.

I don’t like that smaller countries have to rely on larger countries that don’t have their best interests in mind. Not only should France buid its own tech infrastructure but so should every other country that can build it.

In the post-NSA age this is vital if you want your country and its population to be secure against cyberattacks and mass surveillance by great powers.
Are you unrolling the nested JSON data structures and storing as traditional K/Vs in an EAV pattern? Possibly using one table for each datatype or using a sparse table?

I'd be curious how this performs for complex queries - does this rely heavily on index intersection?
Their cash or cash equivalents is $1,821.8 million. Net loss was $77.5 for the quarter. Without any changes, they could keep this up for about 6 years.

However, Cloudflare has 79.2% gross margin, indicating that delivering their services is highly profitable. If they ever needed more money, they could simply raise it or scale-back in other areas.

TLDR: They could go for a very long time.

It depends on a lot of different factors.

Locally and even regionally buses go routes trains aren't going but they get caught in traffic and are a lot slower than trains even if it's a clear run. Buses also tend to be less pleasant but cheaper. You can always force more people into a crowded train but buses get to full capacity and have to drive past people waiting for them.

Northern Ireland has a pretty effective coach system that mirrors what would be expected of a train system, but you don't usually get that sort of thing elsewhere. But then Northern Ireland (and the north of Ireland) has some insane gaps without train coverage. https://maps-ireland-ie.com/ireland-train-map

In England getting a coach is basically often what you do because you can't afford a train so they often run maybe once a day, or maybe a few times a day on some of the bigger routes. They often opperate at really odd hours and for travel to neighbouring countries coaches are better than train because they coordinate the ferry for you.
EPR2 is supposed to be more assembled of ready made parts, instead of EPR's fabricated on site style.
I think the root problem is that a single private platform has become a de facto public sphere, like, at all. Is there any precedent for this? I also don't know what a solution might look like, I mean, what are you going to do? Nationalize Twitter?

It's a general problem too (IMO): Microsoft/Github mediates FOSS development, Facebook (I'm never going to call them "Meta", I think the rename was a huge dick move by Zuckerberg that pollutes our language and culture. Nyah.) Facebook is Easy-Bake oven Internet for normies and they love it. Smart phones are malls.
Standards of living are highly connected to energy consumption. Reducing power consumption without also reducing living standards is difficult to do. Furthermore, power consumption is going to increase as transportation and industrial processes become electrified.

Also, this query is wrong because we want movies where Zendaya played, but _also_ other actors in order, possibly without Zendaya, so you really need to do the actors join twice.

This is just plain wrong.

Absent environmentalism or non-economic considerations (hello Jervis Bay) no nuclear power would ever be built in Australia. We have way too much cheap, conveniently located coal.

I think last year alone had more than a billion dollars worth of crypto hacked on defi, there's some trackers out there [1]. On one hand, you have amateurs that leave their private keys on cloud services and try to cash out while living in a place like NYC, on the other hand, you have people who know what they are doing or perhaps live in places that actively encourage those activities [2].

This sort of regulation is not new when it comes to health data.
I'm actually surprised storing medical data outside the country was
legal in France at any point, I don't think it would have been in my country.

So blaming the GDPR and new rules, seems a bit weird in this case.

Now, consumer protection regulation is always a balancing act. And most consumer protection laws will hurt some companies that didn't actually do anything bad. That doesn't mean I don't want any regulations. Particularly when it comes to healthcare.
Thanks!

- How is data stored internally?

During our beta we will be hosting the databases and the underlying table structures are not viewable.
However, on release, you will have full access to inspect the tables and indexes as they will be created within your own database.

- What are the tradeoffs with this implementation?

Depends on what you compare it to, but let's assume we are looking at the tradeoffs of SFSQL vs straight SQL tables and indexes.
If you needed to store a number of columns in a SQL table and you knew exactly what columns would be queried on (as in filtered on, not just
selected), then you would not be able to beat the speed of a composite index on those exact SQL columns. However, as more columns are
added to that table, and the demand for more of those columns be queryable at index speeds increases, then the possible combinations of
covering indexes grows. In general, more queryable columns end up resulting in more indexes, and if you can't accomodate every possible combination of columns
across those indexes, then someone will hit a query which ends up table scanning, and of course more indexes result in slower inserts as well.
With SFSQL there is a static number of indexes. It's insert speed and query speed might not be the fastest compared to custom composite indexes.
But query speed degrades predictibly as the number of columns queried grows. You might be surprised at the performance given that you can
add and query new attributes on the fly without any tables or indexes to create.

- Do you generate indexes on data as it comes in?

No, we don't have to do that. Everything is indexed.

- How are nested keys handled?

Every primitive attribute (non-object) is indexed by it's value and the relation between objects uses oid/poid indexes.
Joins are constructed on the fly that make use of the indexes on the primitives and between the objects.

- Are indexes eventually consistent?

The indexes are immediately consistent.
The point I'm making is that there's a certain type of activist who believes these kinds o things, and they're arguing for things like reduction of per-capita energy use to reduce society's impact on the land based on the idea that there was ever really land here that wasn't actively managed by people. (At least since the glaciers receded) I'm making the case that these neo-malthusians want to protect an imagined environment of the past that didn't exist. There are certainly things we're doing that are environmentally negative form the perspective of biodiversity, CO2, local water tables, etc but I don't think fixing those things necessarily means using less energy, or having a lower standard of living.
They can sell it to Germany once the US bombs the pipeline they are building to Russia (its gonna happen eventually).
Yea, TikTok is playing in a similar place (big creators, lots of passive people) but their algo + video being stickier has led to massive wins. I think it’s late for Twitter, but interesting thought exercise on what could have been if they had the TikTok discovery algo.
That is a court order due to the President’s status as a particular type of government employee, not a Twitter policy.
France built out its nuclear power generation from 10% to 80% in the span of less than 20 years [1]. While it's true that its latest plants are having difficulties, nuclear power has always been more expensive for one-of-a-kind designs rather than serial production.
