Just regular managed web hosting is enough for simple websites for people who don't actually want to manage a whole server. You don't have to manage anything with such a plan, just put your files where you're told and that's all. It's how simple websites have worked for decades.

Hetzner's plans start at 1,76€/month with a domain name included and unlimited traffic. OVH is slightly cheaper.

I'm probably too old (?) to understand the appeal of Netlify or other similar services, but I really don't understand why they get used.

By the way, Netlify says "100 GB bandwidth" is included with the free plan which I thought mirrored Hetzner's number of "30 TBit total bandwidth", but you have to click the details to see that it's 100 GB per month. So not bandwidth at all, but traffic.
When I played around with Tableau it felt much more intuitive and easy to use than PowerBI. But I guess since people already had a contract with Microsoft for whatever product, adding PowerBI there was easier than pitching an entirely new contract for this product that ticked similar feature boxes. I am sad because I would very much prefer Tableau could exist for many years as a reasonable competitor otherwise I predict Power BI will just stagnate.
I hope you don't live in the US buddy... If you don't, you're probably fine. If you do and Netlify decides to go after you, it's probably gonna be tough and costly.

Which is crucial Netlify is called out for this. Hiding behind the "fine print" is pathetic, not a way to do business.

> who most likely couldn’t make clothes, nor the type of shelters that can be efficiently heated, yet they didn’t have fur.

This is absolutely not true. The popular consensus, however, is so steeply biased towards anything labeled "homo sapiens" that there's no consideration given to how other humanoid species might have lived.

You assumption is correct, that they could not have survived in the freezing cold if they were also just stupid. In reality, if they were to survive in the freezing cold in small groups (most Neanderthals lived in groups of 8-40 individuals) they would have had to be

- incredibly conflict-avoidant

- very emotionally stable

- would need to have a great amount of calories to last the winter, which means they would need to start preparing at least a year in advance

- would also need to be strong and be able to work together in a group well

- maintain quality over quantity -- mouths to feed that can't contribute to the group would be disastrous.

- The last point implies that they had very stable social situations and likely little to no arguments over who should marry whom. Probably also had a very stable social hierarchy

The tools Neanderthals have built have been found to have through multiple stages of preparation and multiple layers of coating. They domesticated many, if not most, of the animals that we now keep as pets. They also revered their elderly and gave proper consideration to their dead.

These are all signs of an advanced manner of cognition, certainly not animals. In fact you could certainly make the argument that with the high social trust and extended time spent "hibernating" (waiting for it to get warm enough) inside a cave, they were more like mad geniuses working on large problems for months on end. Considering just how long they survived, they would also have been great at passing down things from one generation to the next, which is yet another point in favor of them having a rich culture.
> However, since Cactus is written in C#, it behaves as a native Windows application and allows it to integrate natively with the system. On the other hand, Bliss Version Switcher was written in Java and there were many limitations that lead to the Cactus rewrite.

I have no idea what any of that means that or why a rewrite from Java to C# was necessary. It's also unfortunate, because C# GUI applications can be a real pita to run on Linux (particularly my Steam Deck).

Sometimes I use HN search to look for good threads about a topic.
Berlin TYPE: The official type for the city of Berlin (2020)
I hoped to see an image of a face!

I wasn’t really talking about passing a chimp skull for a Neanderthal one. I was dissing the method of reconstruction itself. It basically assumes a Homo Sapiens like soft tissue morphology and works from there. And then you get those very modern looking guys and girls. I’d really like to see someone do the same just with a chimp skull. I doubt anyone would though, as that’d effectively undermine their work.
Their stock performance would agree
It's the full OS + SDK and the networking bits & kernel debugger as well!
There is a lot to be said for just hosting your own VPS and learning how it works especially for smaller sites. The effort to host is small and you're not going to get smashed with a bill like this.
That is actually possible. You could summarize each book first and then group them and summarize the groups etc. Divide and conquer approach.

This could be easily implemented with langchain for example.
Wait, which startup could possibly be threatening the entirety of Google?
Despite what some in the tech space might think, I'm not sure I can lay the blame 100 % on the lawyer.

It's true that this is definitely malpractice and they should have known better, it's also true that big tech for years overplayed their hand with the marketing of "AI" to laypeople and management, which has created completely unreasonable expectations.

As long as OpenAI has a profit motive to make people believe ChatGPT is "right" more often than not they will never blatantly advertise that everything their product generates might be unverifiable garbage, especially in a way everyone will understand and that isn't just a liability footnote.
Many french will call a chat app a "chat" not with the french pronunciation.

Is this just historical vestige stemming from Words dominance? I don't see why word processor should handle print layout instead of doing it in dtp or something
I must add that at Netlify are consistent across disparate systems.

They consistently missed someone that doesn't get more than 10GB traffic a month now maxing out a 5Gbps line (60TB/day stated in TFA) for several days in a row.

And consistently missed someone with a tiny bill's now racking up 10s of thousands of dollars per day. Even if they do run a mainframe and batch process at the end of each day, that still went a few days. If extending lines of credit of tens of thousands of dollars is legal, that's very generous.

What further consistency is available at Netlify?
Does the study say what too much is?

I think the jury is still out on whether any type of intelligence is anything but highly-complex algorithms.

This so much. My hetzner (best choice for a media server within Europe) has 0 downtime in 1.5 years. And exactly as you said I am using bunny as well, which costs me a few $ per year.
Home Servers need not be very small. If gaming is primary objective, you can add a 3060/70 or similar, or old gaming laptop, otherwise like you said current iGPU also serve purpose. OPs idea is to sacrifice CPU cores for iGPU, i.e. a home server with weak CPU but powerful iGPU, that is a small niche.
Great take! However, I wonder how you differentiate from platforms like Vanta? They already provide the monitoring and compliance framework you'll need anyway at some point.
Frankly (and I don't want to sound too negative here) I doubt that a "one click compliant infrastructure" can work without knowing anything about the use case / application / dependencies of a company. Remember, it's not just about your system, its also about the stack you're building with, so it's quite a complex problem to solve.

You make the assumption that consumers want what they buy, consumers will just buy what's in front of them. In places dominated by big supermarket chains consumers have a lot less choice than it seems, as marginal costs for shopping a few items from elsewhere are high.
Call me a dirty European, but my first reaction to this is "This is why you're meant to have a working tax system". I agree that tuition for doctors shouldn't be usurious, but is this really the best use of $1bn? Imagine how much better we could make things if all the people who got rich off Berkshire Hathaway put their money towards good causes and we actually focused that spending on the best outcomes for everyone rather than just helicopter money for random pet causes. It's just such a weird system.
I figure they tossed it into a laptop because its what Lenovo is most well-known for producing. Its a prototype tech demo, definitely cool looking but clearly highly impractical.

No. This is absolutely common. I remember well how shared hosters 10 years ago already put caps on cheap packages and took the websites offline in case of traffic. And today it's Amazon who bills small players into dept.

There are many provider who don't tho.

Wow.

I can't read it because I block reddit, but I assume it's a DDOS? With a bill that large, it would actually make business sense for them to team up with DDOSers.
I have to admit, that I was surprised when they all came back good! We already had the SDK on 3 1/2" disks, so we could compare the contents. Oddly enough all the executables, libraries and headders are a match but the helpfiles have a different CRC, despite being the same timestamp, and size.

I've installed it on 86box, and then converted the boot disk from 5 1/2" to 3 1/2" inch so I could install it on VMware and my IBM PS/2 model 80. That's another surprise I thought for sure the PS/2 drivers would be missing from the 5 1/4" disk version, but they were there!

On VMware the AT version of the PS/2 mouse driver locks the system up, but I copied the one from 6.123 and it works fine. Although there is no MS-DOS sessions working.

Also as a follow up on my 'dont waste money on a math co-processor' if you have the 'passthrough math' on 86box the dos sessions misbehave big time. Using the softfloat option for more accuate floats results in working MS-DOS. - Turns out OS/2 betas really did rely on a FPU!
Maybe one can make this analogy, but I think it is a bit too simplistic/abstracted away from reality:

Why would Netlify offer the option to opt out when extreme availability is their core business? I'd argue that people are using the wrong service provider if they need to opt out in the first place.

Same goes for most of the other pay-as-you-go providers that turn HN into billing support every now and then; very rarely do I see "we suddenly got a $20k bill" posts about services that these extreme availability products make sense for.
Wouldn't there be at least a handful of competitors if the economics worked out that way?
Forum discussion is helpful for any market.
The place I work at uses Tableau, and it is thriving there. If it was up to me though, we'd move to some open source BI tool - but in the end, we're paying for Tableau for three reasons:

1) Premium (24/7) support if needed.

2) In-house tableau consultants.

3) Too many production reports have already been written in Tableau.

With that said, I've experienced some frustration with Tableau. Want writeback combability? That'll be thousands (if not tens of thousands) of *dollars per year* in additional license fees.

Want some other feature, same deal.

With that said, the licenses have grown so much in the past few years that our stakeholders have started asking around for analysts to check out competitors and OS tools.

The lesson to be learned is to pay attention to pricing before signing up, and don't buy really expensive services. Assuming a gigabit connection, you have the potential to pay $13000 per day.

It's sufficiently good that it fools people into thinking its not even corner-cutting.

85% of the time, the source code it gives me is correct (50% of the time it's mediocre, but still correct), and that's true even when it's surprised me by spewing out an entire single-file web app rather than just disparate functions I was expecting to have to copy-paste into a single file[0]; how good or bad varies wildly in a way that suggests behind the scenes changes like all software, but it's enough that I can easily believe someone sees it on a good day, is convinced it's always that good, and doesn't keep checking.

CloudFlare pricing is indeed positively ridiculous.

At OpenTofu[0] we’re using CloudFlare R2 to host the providers and modules registry[1]. Bandwidth is free, you only pay for requests.

This already would be great, but there’s more - you only pay for requests that actually hit R2. So with an almost 100% cache hit ratio, we barely register any billable requests.

Recently someone decided to load test us and generated ~1TB of traffic over 1-3 days. All but a few of these requests were cached, so the whole situation probably cost us less than a cent.

To be clear, szechuan peppercorns are from various species of trees and shrubs, and are not related to chili peppers (or black pepper).

When combined with chili pepper it's amazing, but quite hard to find in Western Chinese restaurants unfortunately.
If you cover the back with black tape, it will also improve the display contrast.
Those services exist, and you have the option to use them. Netlify is not one. Apparently, you chose that the un-insured solution was best for you.
This thread is a gold mine. You really helped out another human today - thank you for taking the time.
Have some company promise to make it foldable, to add blockchain and AI, make an IPO based on a Potemkin Prototype, then run off with the money. Easy.
Just to toss this out there: There are too many services that don't really let you cap your spend. AWS, for example: You can set alarms, but as far as I know, you cannot sent a spend limit.

I had a couple of small businesses hosted there, but this always worried me, so I moved them to a local provider, who provides what they need for a flat fee.
The hard parts are just an implementation detail. Let's say a human took 15 minutes to draft all that up. It's about 800 words, and given a typing rate of 50 wpm, it would take that long to just type that in, so that seems reasonable. If that's only 0.001% of the work, it means it would take 3 years to finish the project.

Yuga Labs partners exclusively with royalty-respecting NFT platforms.
Magic Eden launches Ethereum marketplace prioritizing creator royalties.
Yuga Labs, a leading NFT studio renowned for its iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club collections, has made a groundbreaking decision. The company announced it will stop working with NFT marketplaces that “don’t support royalties for all creators.” This move signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing debate surrounding artist rights in the burgeoning NFT sector.
GC is usually not specified to happen at particular times, or saying which values are definitely going to be GCed.
Instead it relies on the language semantics, so that any value which is used later in the program, is not going to be GCed. How and when the runtime system determines that a value is not going to be used again is an optimization problem, not a correctness problem.

So everything you quote Lua a saying here is consistent.
The thing is that it only considers "used later" as "used later by the Lua program".
Or rather, it only considers Lua values as "values". A value stored in non-managed memory is not a value. It's not GCed. The `ffi.new`-created Lua value is, and it's finalizer happens to free the native memory that the pointer refers to.

So non -Lua "values" are not GCed, they are freed as side effects of Lua values being GCed.

> this is the only one where commenters would come to express their discomfort towards this fact of capitalism

Don't conflate an in-equal system with capitalism. That would be untrue and un-wise.

Most people agree that a free market needs to exists in order to uphold a capitalistic system (what is ownership if you can not transfer it?).

You can make free markets that are regulated in a way that ensures that participants are, roughly, equal - in fact there is an argument that a market is not free unless this is the case.

When participants of a market can increase their profit margins it is usually a sign of an ineffcient market - a participant has an advantage that other participants can not compete with.
You could probably set up rate limiting with iptables/nftables as well if it’s a vps.
This one has some more traction: https://github.com/fu5ha/ultraviolet
Typically, it is not even a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack; instead, it is traffic from (SEO) bots that crawl through every possible combination of the page, such as query parameters for web shop filters. I hate those down to the guts, because you have to design a rate limiter that will limit them and let other traffic through.
I think you're looking at the problem with some incorrect assumptions. First, Amazon wants us to believe that people who can run things in AWS are just too dumb to be admins. I think they want this to be the case. After all, programmers who know nothing about the underlying systems their software runs on are the kind who'll turn up services and leave them on. They'll build something that has the kind of fragility that makes others afraid to turn things off to save money. Each new thing will add more and more to the monthly bill.

A good systems administrator works to regulate this tendency. She/he asks what these processes are, whether all this used storage will be needed indefinitely, what the dependencies are between different services. A good sysadmin balances the laziness of programmers who don't want to think about or care about systems long term.

Marketing for moving everything to the cloud also has tons of kickbacks that encourage decisionmakers to want to fire sysadmins and pay Amazon so they can get free stuff. Is it completely nuts that someone will have their company pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to Amazon because they get a few thousand dollars worth of perks? Sure, it's nuts, but people are greedy and selfish, so this happens all the time.

The point is that from a purely technical and mathematical point of view, cloud loses every time except perhaps for the most ephemeral of uses.
You keep quoting a case where licensor was one of the patent holders, but this is hardly relevant. It would be much harder (euphemism for "impossible") to prove that there was intent when there is no possible revenue stream for the licensor. Knowledge is much easier to prove (most projects openly discuss the risk).
