This is a serious matter. We are building a new site for our company with Netlify, but we can't open ourselves to this predatory practice. And even if you do not mean to be predatory, even the option of such is enough.

If not resolved with a clean, legally binding promise, our company (and probably quite a few others) must move our business to Cloudflare, Amazon, or some other competitor of yours.

What are these legitimate mistakes?
It looks like indeed there is no overland road to Bamaga.
Most of them are lazy scions of well-off families, who will eventually take the studs off once the trust fund cuts them out. Culturally they are largely dead, reproducing models (like the communes you mention) popularized more than half a century ago.
Me too, it took like 30 mins to create cloudflare account and move my small static sites.
I have absolutely no idea at all what you are saying to me.

For clarification of some kind: I homeschooled my twice exceptional --"gifted and (learning) disabled" -- sons and for a time did pro bono professional work for a gifted organization in support of me being the teacher in a private school with two students for some years under California law and designing the custom curriculum for my special-needs sons so as to make it digestible without talking down to them and accommodating their big strengths and big weaknesses at the same time.

My emails were seemingly "popular" for a time on a gifted homeschoolers list and you can blame their enthusiasm for my writing for my habit of blogging to this day, though I have no traction and it makes damn little money and is no doubt basically me wasting my life.

Fortunately, we are all dust in the wind anyway, so I'm sure none of it really matters, but I have Opinions about the poor job we generally do with dealing with other humans, especially short ones under the legal age of majority.

So maybe that gives you some context for my stupid comment. No, I don't care to talk further about any of this really, tbh.
In a fair world i can keep what is mine and can do with it, what i want. If its well earned, so be it.

I don't think what you say translates the way you think it does :)

"Romios" or "Romiosyni" (the act of being a Romios) is considered in many instances parallel to being Greek.

Remember that the Roman Empire dumped Latin and went with the Greek language.
yes, in Italy for example you pay 0.2% annually on whatever you hold (stock, bonds, cryptos, etc) even if you sell nothing or they depreciate compared to the year before
Folks regularly show up in HN comments during these discussions stating the opposite—that it's categorically better for all sites/projects, now matter how inconsequential, to stay online. It's weird.

This includes some of the TPTB, too. Occasionally, though, someone'll say the quiet part out loud. E.g. re fly.io:

I'm wondering whether this story has been manually downranked.

Is it worth noting that Netlify bought two Y Combinator startups or is that a crazy conspiracy theory?

> On May 19, 2021, Netlify announced the acquisition of FeaturePeek, a Y Combinator and Matrix Partners backed startup that enables developer teams to preview frontend content.

> On November 17, 2021, Netlify acquired Y Combinator and SignalFire-backed OneGraph to allow for the composition of apps with APIs and services using GraphQL.
It's something. I started looking into the budget alert docs and it does use SNS so it should be easy to have something polling that queue and respond in any way necessary.

I'm imagining an alert to the on-call team, and a soft shutdown until the on-call team can figure out the next step.

If it can save a few thousand dollars, it's worth it. Each business must make their own estimate of course.

I agree. I haven't done a lot of digging on pre-386 kit this century, but it bears pointing out that even MS-DOS itself post v5 is significantly bigger and heavier on machines without XMS and UMBs.

PC/MS DOS 3.3 gives the most RAM if you can't have an HMA (the 64kB above 1MB, only available on 286 or higher.) But DOS 3.3 is limited to 32MB partitions.

The most featureful DOS for XT-class kit is DR-DOS 3.41, which is obscure and little-known. It gives you standards-compliant large-partition support (like Compaq DOS 3.31 and pretty much no other version, but without anything Compaq-specific.

One in that list is not like the others. Nebula sponsorships are for creators that are already a part of their network trying to move viewers to their platform.

That's not a diss on Nebula. I think, among all the others, nebula is the most likely to be sustainable. It is creator owned and operated and the pricing model model seems like it is able to make decent money for the people on it.

No affiliation to Nebula, just a happy, paying customer.

I haven't Smart Comic before. Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely going to give it a try. (I admit that panel handling is a nice to have feature, but what makes or breaks a comic reader for me is how easy is to sync comics---but this is a long departure from the thread).

Unity did start making their own demos, but it seemed more to catch-up with Unreal Engine which did it since the start (eg. Unreal games where the name comes from).

Those data rates look outrageous!

It was fine however as most hotels have Wi-Fi anyway.

I've seen this. I interviewed at a place that said they implemented "extreme ownership; it's from a book by some army guy." But they had never read the book or knew the guy's name, or really knew how to explain extreme ownership.

But what they told me was that if you do some work you're on the hook if it fails, which is, IMO, pretty normal. Extreme ownership is a whole different beast.

That kinda told me enough about senior leadership to decline.
Yes I did, but it was 3+ years ago and I don't recall the details, but the data representation was elegant for Lexical.
That's the path I took with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com ), and a game I've just released ( https://polyreplay.com/minesweepertwist ), with more coming shortly.

But it didn't start like that. It only started as a tool I could use to deliver client projects, as I was trying to become a freelance for interactive 3D scenes for the web.

Project after project ( some examples here: https://polygon-lab.com/ ), I could improve Polygonjs. Then I found clients who would be interested enough to buy licenses, and would give valuable feedback which would help the project grow even more.

And a few clients asking for not just interactive sites, but also games. This pushed Polygonjs further, and after several games released, it definitely qualifies as a game engine.

So this is generally an advice I give to people who want to become freelancers. Build a tool that solves a problem in your space, as this gives you an edge, and you'll also get the chance to confront that tool to reality, which will help it - and you - grow. This becomes a virtuous circle very quickly.

There are far more games that were made with Unity, not Unreal, I would even say an order of magnitude more. So I don't really get your point? Unity is vastly easier to jump on, so a lot more people actually make games and test things (not knowing the quirks of the engine inside out, like a game engine developer would).
Arguably the entirety you need to threaten is Search and ads. Remove those, what happens to the rest?
> They're not going to make a die with a wide DRAM controller for on-package memory and then a second narrower DRAM controller for memory slots

Why not? They already do the equivalent for SRAM. The big cost of a wider memory bus is routing it through the socket and the system board, which you're not doing since only the narrower bus goes through there. The wider bus is solely within the APU package.

You could also take advantage of the additional channels -- have e.g. 8 memory channels within the package and two more routed through the socket, for a total of 10. Now if you have 8GB on the package and 16GB off of it, you have 10GB striped across all 10 channels and another 14GB striped across two.

Continuing to have memory slots also allows you to sell chips with and without on-package DRAM and use the same socket. High bandwidth memory only makes much sense if you have a strong iGPU, since CPUs are rarely memory bandwidth bound. But low end systems and high end systems wouldn't have that, only mid-tier ones would. The low end system has a small iGPU where HBM is both unnecessary and too expensive. The high end system has the same small iGPU, or none at all, because it uses a big discrete GPU.

HBM is also more expensive than ordinary memory, but Windows will sit there eating several GB of RAM while doing nothing, so having some HBM and some DDR should lower costs compared with having the combined total in HBM.
Unity actually started doing this while I was working there[0], and then eventually axed it[1] as part of a broader shift towards low quality high revenue mobile development (acquiring ironSource, for example). This shift was highly demoralising for the entire organisation, as it included laying off huge swathes of creative staff from Gigaya development (and other teams) and hiring in areas of monetisation (read: advertising and tracking).

Unity is no longer a games engine company, it is an ad company. It is taking surprisingly long for people to see it this way.

It was really sad to me, because (possibly naively) I saw joining Unity as a potential opportunity to pivot more closely to game engine programming (from web), but that was an uphill battle given that the resource allocation was massively in the opposite direction.

This just means assets are getting more concentrated, effectively increasing inequality. Increased inequality usually means the ones with capital become a greater force in the market, not a weaker one.
A good data center can sell you a sustained 10Gbps for, and I’m guessing at going rate, but like 4-7k a month? If you’re making a commitment cheaper, and that’s basically a retail pipe for someone in a colocated facility.

For larger providers, bandwidth cost drops tremendously, especially if you’re well connected as transit is much cheaper and if you are really large or a network provider you may even be routing between your own facilities or in some cases from one customer to another and every large scale isp is going to want a “direct link” to your facility (a peering relationship). Those costs are astronomically small at scale for bandwidth.

The ISP or similar then turns around and sells a sustained network throughout as GB transferred, which isn’t how wholesale bandwidth is sold at all. So the get to charge for the data the pipe moves while they only pay for the connection itself — the markup added to this process is considerable.

For someone operated a global CDN, which is basically what they do, they have racks of storage and computer collocated all over the world and optimize the living crap out of their network to reduce their costs and make it run on as many peering relationships as possible. It’s an expensive and complex business to set up, but once it’s set up you get a fairly good and consistent return out of it.

The reason for this article is related to the nature of that business: it’s the issue of liability.

When you have policies where you protect your clients from downsides and excessive use on the network, you suddenly have to assume the role of paying attention to what’s on the network and policing it’s contents. That’s not possible with a massive system like this generally, so they push the liability down to the customer and discount the mistakes that come up. That’s why things are set up like this… this kind of stuff isn’t their business at all really. They are looking for the customers that convert and pay, which is very profitable, and the free tier is often thought of as a sustainable cost if you are large enough scale, as it substitutes for the rather massive expense of marketing and sales which is one of the largest expenses in a bandwidth focused business. CAC is the free tier.

There also competitors, but the benefits of scale are tremendous in terms of cost efficiency. A large provider might be paying just a very small fraction of a penny or less (even “free”) compared to what a small provider is paying. So that’s why you end up with fewer competitors because it truly is a business that benefits from economies of scale.

There are other smarter people on here who can correct any mistakes I’ve made or provide better pricing or whatever, but that’s the more in depth answer.
Run code I can read on hardware I can control, and on a network I can control.
1. Yes. We've forgiven lots and lots of bills over the last 9 years and they haven't gone viral

2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages
That customers must seek forgiveness at Netlify's discretion is not comforting. What's comforting is dependable spending controls.
Dude, I wrote the book on self-doubt! The only thing that ever kept me going before a certain level of success was my observation that although I’m never the smartest guy around, I always know people dumber than I am who succeeded in similar areas by just showing up and grinding. I still overthink and sabotage myself.
Cool to see this here, using Litestar for a new project having selected and used Django/DRF company-wide in the past. I find it provides a modern "batteries-included" stack for Python, not quite as comprehensive as Django, but also not as minimal as Flask or FastAPI. For me, the advantages over Django include typing, async-first, websocket-support, along with integrations with existing projects (including Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, Jinja, OpenAPI). The higher bus-factor and release cadence was also a factor in choosing it over FastAPI.

Currently using with the following,

- [SAQ](https://saq-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for background workers

- [Nginx Unit](https://unit.nginx.org/) for deployment

- [Orval](https://orval.dev/) to generate FE definitions based on the API spec.

For non-API/SPA use-cases, there are Jinja and HTMX integrations. The docs (https://docs.litestar.dev/latest/) are solid - not quite Django-tier but that's the gold standard, however the reference example is too complex imo (https://github.com/litestar-org/litestar-fullstack).

https://github.com/litestar-org/awesome-litestar has a list of useful extensions - highly recommend trying it out if you are starting a new Python web project.

I cook because going to a restaurant is prohibitively expensive to do every day. Raw ingredients in Norway are already expensive. Most folks cook because they have few decent choices and like the past, they take shortcuts when they can.

At one time, yes, women did most cooking, to a point and dependent on where one lived. Kitchens were dangerous for not only you, but your neighbor too - if you lived in a city. Which meant that if you lived in a city, you bought bread because you were very unlikely to have a place to bake it. You might not have a kitchen at all - most folks living in Roman cities just didn't and purchased food elsewhere.

You might not even know how to make bread, being a woman in the past. Professional cooks and bakers were often men.

It's not because of AI black nazis, but because there is a deeper social problem of censorship and anti-racism (including, but not limited to racism against white people). Erasing white people from history is as racist as not allowing people of colour to sit on the bus.
