Looks interesting!

One question about the response methods: If I would be using something like `ctx.result(inputStream)` - would it block the [lightweight] thread until all data is written. Or would the handler return and the data transfer happen in the background?

One use-case I've only see marginally addressed in some frameworks is being able to run code past the point where all data is written - e.g. to record logs and metrics around the outcome of a request - e.g. whether the client hung up or all data was stored in socket buffers. If sending the result "blocks", that kind of code can be added naturally with a try/finally block around it.

As far as I understand the docs, it might not block, but one might be able to install an "After" handler? Or would that also only run before the response is actually sent?
> are actually 10x (or more)

To me, the more likely explanation is that this guy is an excellent developer, working on a problem he was suited to, and that's about all you can say. He came up with good strategies and insights here, and worked hard, and did a lot of other stuff right. But the idea of a generically 10x developer is a cartoonish oversimplification of how the world works.

I've been working on this sort of game for awhile now. Never too seriously, though that will change in 2023. Hardly worth sharing at this point, but I will anyway.

I need to seriously think about what I want out of this game (more of a mmo game engine), but "UO-like" is definitely top of mind.

You have that exactly backwards... WASM allows you to build in whatever language you like and target portable operation that includes a browser.
one solution that might work for you and may approach some definition of simplicity would be ffmpeg + caddy + videojs.

basically use ffmpeg to make an m3u8. use caddy to serve the video files and the html/js. videojs will rebox the m3u8 for your friends using chrome/android.

Ukraine thinks they'll get everything they want because they are winning AND what they want is completely reasonable to the rest of the world, and probably to most Russians as they sober up. If they start sending home the involuntarily mobilized in body bags that might tip the scales for Russians.

Elons ignorant tweet involves Ukraine, which is winning, giving Putin everything he wants just to not hurt Putin's feelings.

I agree it makes sense for ships to use hydrogen. You might have a point about power density of fuel cells being too low for aviation. I don't think batteries will work for aviation except for very short flights, unless there's a major technological improvement -- in the near term probably the best low-carbon option is some kind of synthetic liquid fuel.

Curious assumptions in this post, but okay. Turnabout is fair play.
You are correct. It’s been almost 2 years since the lockdown. During that time, I downloaded apps like crazy. Maybe 500 apps.

They all offered me a free trial, I took it.

Mistakes where made, due to apple auto renewal, my card was charged ~$1,000 within that month. Luck for me. Chase bank detected all as fraud and blocked the card. I disputed the $160.11 for the apps that “force billed” and won the case.

I have downloaded close to 1TB worth of data on my iPhone. To delete all these apps will take hours. To cancel the subscription isn’t easy. Apple designed it in a way, for each app you download. You have to manually go into settings and cancel it.

Imagine downloading 500 apps in one month. No way I’m i manually disabling auto renewal.

Thanks to PayPal, I created an account that literally has zero dollars that apps can auto renewal and fail.

I did the math. Total cost of all the apps subscription since 2019-2022 on my device.

$57,060.01.

Glad PayPal is blocking these automated renewal. Because I’m not going to manually cancel ~500 apps.
The attention economy corrupts everything it touches: not just science, but journalism, politics, and even childhood.

Being famous used to be rather difficult. Of course there were exceptions (writing To Kill a Mockingbird, being the guy who dove into the river to save a drowning child, for example), but for the most part, you were going to live your life known only to the few hundred or thousand people you met personally.

Even though you could pick up a phone and dial anyone in the world who owned a phone, you wouldn't, and if you did, they'd hang up on you. Now you can force your idiotic, or great ideas onto the screens of millions of people you'll never meet.

Is that a good or a bad thing? It's certainly bad in some ways, and this is one of them.
As someone who got involved in an open-source version of the Ultima Online server, this is a fun read

Instead of `areaserv` like the article talks about, RunUO had the concept of sectors within a region[1]. Sidenote: To this day RunUO is one of the easiest codebases to understand i've ever come across

We too had a pretty bad item duping bug, around how banks allowed you to create checks with money, and an overflow bug leading to people being trivially able to print money — this led to runway inflation in some servers.

UO economies themselves being matter of study, for a Really interesting article, see [2]

Of course, however given that there are 1.2 million repositories with makefiles, the listed average would mean that they contain 1.8 billion makefiles in total. I doubt that that’s the case.

I suspect that the file language recognition has major false positives for the Makefile language.
Did anybody else get a Charmin ad to watch at the start of the video?
Advertising is incredibly useful to me and I routinely seek it out.

- Sometimes I look for a new job. Enough said on that one.

Believe it or not ads exist because they perform a useful social function.

My point was that the existence of said counterexamples doesn't prove anything very strong, only that clearly Uber isn't only stealing from people who don't understand depreciation, etc.

In order to actually understand what is going on, you'd need to have a broad survey (and yes, that should include people like your hypothetical). It would look something like a uniform sampling over drives (not trips) as a starting place.

Average length doesn't prove anything, but it should be clear that I wasn't suggesting it did.

I am still not sure whether it was a typo in his math. He said "100,000 renders * 1/2 cent per render"[0] when someone asked him how come he was paying that much. And when someone asked a similar question to how the math worked out, there was no reply.

Still not sure how to interpret this, no matter how I look at it. 100k renders at 1/2 cent each comes out to only $500 total. Someone guessed that he could've meant $0.5 when he said "1/2 cent each", but that comes out to $50k total. Whichever math mistake I was trying to intentionally make, I failed to arrive at $1k. Could it be that his math was correct, but the total number was the one that contained the typo?

Not trying to accuse him of lying, I believe it was a genuine mistake or a typo, but as of now, I am still left not knowing whether the stated number was the one he actually meant or whether his math was wrong.

Sidenote: the actual product is great, and I absolutely dig the idea of it too.

Yeah UO only worked because it was basically the only game in town.

The sheep were playing alongside the wolves. Once there was more choice in the market the more casually and cooperatively minded players self-selected into games catered to them.

sure, but it's like tickets at a concert. They sell most of them for $30. There's nothing they can do to prevent scalpers from buying them and jacking up the price 10x, but that doesn't make it the performer's fault you can only buy them for $300.

yes, it sucks, but the performers (and the Pi makers) did the best they could to offer them to folks at a cheap price.
What's really weird is that sometimes you get results that are outright repeating on those first N pages. Sometimes, more than once.

It's almost as if it tries to pad the output to be long enough that you'd lose patience before you reach the end of "effective pagination".
The problem is that most Youtuber/Patreon/Twitch creators are extremely lazy when it comes to merchandise and just clicks a couple of buttons to spin up some template logo t-shirts on BigCartel or someplace.

Looking at merch from the music world, I believe there's a market for would pay for merch that's thoughtful and creative like a mini-book, custom playing cards or posters that do a deep dive on something that streamer is interested in.
Considering loading that many results, to drop the first N is a lot of overhead... 10,000 is arbitrary, but pretty common at a level as no reasonable person really wants to see this far into weighted search results.
I think this depends on the local market. For me the reverse has usually been true in Seattle.

I really appreciated this! I've heard of the five whys earlier in life, and later on I've heard of 'the 3 whys', part of the selling technique that everyone has to answer:

- Why buy anything?
- Why buy from you?
- Why buy now?

I knew it wasn't that, and the idea of the 5 Whys funnel crapping out at 3 Whys does make sense!

If you look at the issue in question you'll see that it's not a bug, but a proposal to change the semantics of the language; rules about when something is comptime-known or not. If you replace `@compileError` (comptime effect) with `std.debug.print` (runtime effect) the print statement is never reached.

Your claim is false.

You seem to misunderstand who controlled USSR then.

Stalin coopertaed with Hitler a lot. Stalin bought a lot of military technology and outright weapons from Germany (such as cannons). Stalin and Hitler collectively destroyed Poland in 1939, divided the territory, and had a parade where Wermacht and Red Army troops marched together.

At the same time Hitler planned to attack USSR, while USSR secretly planned to attack Hitler.

Before that, Stalin robbed Soviet peasants of the wheat they produced, and sold it all for gold, to buy weapons factories, mostly from the US. In 1933, this resulted in famine in Ukraine and some other parts of USSR (google Holodomor).

No way one could expect Stalin's regime to soften down and become nicer.

Certainly, Soviet soldiers who fought against Hitler, along with other Allied soldiers, fought for good, or at least for a better world. But these same soldiers, who liberated countries like Poland, or Hungary, or half of Germany from Hitler put these lands under control of USSR, not direct, but pretty stifling. They suppresses attempts to get out of Soviet control in Hungary and Checho-Slovakia with tanks soon after.
