From what I remember, the cost per server per year was about 5x to 6x (annually) the hardware cost of a new server, and these were dual 32 core EPYCs. 64 cores per box at per core licensing gets really expensive.
> They don't make up lies, but they hide truths leaving people with a distorted view of the facts they have. It's nice to be able to trust that you're not being directly lied to by NPR, but you still end up feeling deceived.

It's not just the omissions though, it's the implications.

For example, they were covering the Republicans saying they want to do something about the immigrants and Fentanyl illegally coming over the border. NPR's coverage made a point of telling you that most of the Fentanyl comes over at marked border crossings rather than through the desert, strongly implying this was meant to be refuting some lie the Republicans were telling. But the clip they aired didn't have the Republicans claiming otherwise. They were plausibly talking about the desert in the context of the people crossing there. And installing a border fence there could arguably free up some customs resources to use to inspect more trucks. But they're so desperate for a "gotcha" that they make one up.

The issue would be if you just did it for the bucket but didn't load any web pages through cloudlfare, as long as your website uses cloudlfare, this is a very normal and supported use case.
You might potentially run into problems if you used it just for the bucket, the pages (or what ever else) the images in the bucket are normally called from aren't using cloudlfare so cloudlfare just sees your bucket and nothing else, I've never come across people having issues with this but I've only ever seen it for people who have at least some of their normal traffic also going through cloudlfare.
I did a period of two years as the CEO of a smallish tech-company (~ 100 employees, turnover of 15M€) and it was stressful as hell even if we were doing OK financially. The big thing is that you're the last defender, everything difficult or uncomfortable task ends with you having to pick it up, for everyone it's a choice to pass it on to the next level but for you it isn't. This combined with the monthly "grades" in terms of commercial result which was new to me coming from a tech background was tough. In the end I chose to go back to tech but it's not something that I want undone, it was a learning experience and these days I'm a lot more careful to let things slip through to the next layer.
You're correct in most scenarios but TSC can be an unwieldy beast when you deal with large amounts of unstructured data. We work with inverter data from solar plants and let's just say that the engineers who build these things aren't using any sort of data standards. TSC falls short (for us) on things like reflection and type transformation. Which means that we have to actually check if TSC does it the way we want it. Maybe you could configure TSC to always do it the performant way, but then you'll have to work with that, and probably still check if it actually worked. For some things we use C (and a few Rust) services with a local cache of data, but there is so much data that we can't do this for everything. In the perfect world, we would handle this on-site (as the inverter manuals will also tell you to do) but that's not what the bosses have prioritized. We've tried getting some standard solutions, that have so far all come up short. As a result we wasted so much money that we could've had a full team of engineers put up an ARM device to deal with data on every solar inverter and still had literal millions of Euro left over... but corporate will corporate.

It's not like we aren't still doing TS. We're achieving this through the use of JSDoc (and possibly ECMAScript type annotations in the future). Though a little non-performance related added advantage is that when our developers click on "go to implementation", they'll get to the actual code. It has advantages and disadvantages as I said. You'll really, really, need to know the inner workings of JS to outdo the big transpilers, and you're not getting a lot of help working with it (especially not if you're using VSC). I'm not sure you would want to do this in JS at all for the most part, it's just that we are primarily TS developers. I'm the only one who knows C well enough to use it reliably, as an example. Which isn't exactly "maintainable" for the business.

So as I said in at the beginning, I think your gut reaction is correct 99% of the time, but it is an alternative the GP I was replying to asked for.

It's not a coincidence, it's become extremely common lately in online discussions. Instead of addressing the argument and, perhaps, pointing out why the two differing things should be treated differently, they just act offended and shut down the argument as if making the comparison at all is so offensive and wrong that we can't even discuss it logically.

DisplayPort: Hacking and Examples
Taking IBM as an example, they were one of the first in 2000 to make Linux business a reality, because in doing so, it makes their own Aix development costs lower, and eventually played so well that they own Red-Hat, without which, many key projects like GCC and GNOME would lose their main source of income.

The other UNIX vendors that went out of business thanks to Linux's free beer, or Microsoft and Apple's issues trying to sell licenses for their OSes on the server room, both now supporting Linux VMs as "The Year of Desktop Linux", are good examples that when it is free, everyone takes it no matter how it goes.
You must admit that C/Python doesn't quite have the same cachet as C/C++. C & C++ also share the same name, C++ was born as a derivative of C (with classes), they have the same syntax, logical constructs etc. Python is not even a systems language.
> This is an approach that is sometimes taken when planning game projects, that you design your production plan so that as many parts of the game as possible are made in parallel, and then it all gets put together near the end of the development timeline, hopefully with enough time to fix bugs, balance gameplay, and add polish.

I feel like all AAA games are developed this way: Not playable till very late. Thats why they generally suck.

While a normal board meeting style development, i feel completely bamboozled by this approach. Indie games in contrast usually start with an MVP, a Minimum Viable Product, to test the basic concept. Then make the basic game loop fun. Then do the rest of the game like maps, sound, graphics, to support the central idea.

AAA do all the graphics and maps and sound and AI first, somehow merge it together and just hope that it will be a "good" game, that it will be fun. Even if there is internal QA or playtesting, feedback gets consequently ignored.

And people still preorder.

That's not really relevant. No one is arguing priority. "Priority" implies there's 20 countries fighting to prosecute someone and we need to resolve it. In this case, it was a cooperation between multiple countries who agreed someone needed to be prosecuted, regardless of which country did it.
I doubt the artists really thought this through. If they "win" this AI would be driven into illegality in the west and the global south would not care one bit about those laws and will happily outcompete those very same western artists on very uneven ground.

I suppose in a way advocating for arson and hate crimes is an "illegal meme"..
No, the alternative is to be more honest about it. The whole debate about "objectivity" is because the previous definition of objectivity produced consistent bias. And by that I mean consistent huge bias.

Objectivity meant that journalist had to identify two sides and report on both equally - even if the acts in question were not equal in any objective way. If I obviously lied and you obviously did not, articles did not reflected that at all. What was called objectivity enabled and facilitated bad actors. Consistently.

Second issue was that just a selection of topics and selection of who will be allowed to express things itself creates bias. And the rules about that consistently disadvantaged certain groups and advantaged other groups.

Yes, I thought so considering you didn't make it open source now :) That's why I put 'offtopic' as I didn't think you are planning to. I need one of these for integration in a tool i'm making and I cannot find one, paid or open source, that is free enough to do that.

> Math.sin(Math.PI/2) return 1.0
> Now, I don't get why this returns 1.0 and why not a number near to 1 but not exactly 1?

‘Accident’ of the implementation. When you feed Math.sin that IEEE float that’s close to π ÷ 2 it returns an approximation of its sine. In this case, the rounded result of 1.0, a result that you seem to think is an exact result.

> Same question here because Math.PI is not exact, why is its division so exact?

It’s not that computing Math.PI ÷ 6 is exact, but that then computing the sine of that value produces ½, which isn’t “so exact”, as technically, the bit pattern for Math.PI ÷ 6 doesn’t stand for π ÷ 6, and could have been computed in another way.

By the way, reading https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/bd4160cea8b6b0fcf0507199..., these results may vary between Java implementations, possibly even between runs (when a method gets called a lot, it may get optimized more, and start using a different implementation)

Hello builders, as a fellow maker who loves building things - I am excited to share with you that I have found the solution to one of our biggest problems - finding users/customers for the epic tools that we’ve built. I’ve build a lot of useful and fun apps over the years, but have always struggled finding real people to use my beloved creations. The main problem here is that even though I knew how to build, I often failed at getting it in front of the eyes of real people who could benefit from my apps. In other words, I sucked at marketing (or simply didn’t enjoy doing it consistently).

Until last year - when I accepted the fact that marketing and distribution is one of the most important aspects of building a successful product. And then I dove head first into marketing, scourging every last resource on the internet, spent thousands of hours and dollars to learn how successful products become successful.

And it worked. My last chatbot app got over 500k visits and 10k+ users. I learnt a lot about marketing, and started to look at it as a problem. If you look at it like say, a distribution problem, it can be solved. While it’s not rocket science, it’s a lot of work and it never ends. This is why the biggest companies like Apple still spends billions of dollars for marketing their products every year, even though everyone already knows them. This is an even bigger problem for smaller startups and founders who are trying to get their product off the ground. Not to mention, this is only getting worse in 2024 and beyond as building apps becomes easier with AI. There are 10s of competitors each trying to get to the same customers for solving the same problems with about the same solutions (ballpark). How do you ensure you are in the front? or at least in consideration when the user decided on a particular solution that they’ll end up using in the end? Marketing is the answer.
Luckily for us, we also have the same AI that is pretty darn brilliant at marketing (even more so than building). It was bound to happen, 100% of all the best marketing campaigns in the world are public by nature, and the AI models have been trained on all this data. So this is why I am building fyli.ai to automate the marketing work to enable builders to focus on building. fyli uses the latest LLMs from the top AI companies to run an army of AI agents that you can use to automate your marketing. I’ve been on this for 3 months now, and today we are launching in public beta. I’d love for you to check it out, and give me your honest feedback on how helpful or trash it is. I’d highly appreciate any feedback or suggestion that you may have :) Keep building, keep shipping awesome things!

Cheers,

— Abhi

Having used both MS and Borland products during the late 90s and early 2000s, Borland tools were definitely far superior from the standpoint of ease of use, time it takes to develop serious applications etc.

The primary advantage of the Borland's tools apart form itse its ease of use and was its very interesting component architecture which allowed for very easy development of third-party components and so many high quality third-party components were available free or at low cost. While this was happening MS got lost in the bushes trying to get ActiveX, COM etc to be the bridge for component inter-usability but it didn't come close to the ease of development of components in Delphi, CppBuilder etc.

The issue with Borland was the poor quality of management after their founder left. They tried to get into the Application Development Lifecycle space, bought up a lot of companies in that space and increased the cost of their dev tools to the point that it was no longer affordable to smaller dev shops who were their primary customers.

This problem hasn't gone away. Embarcadero still has ridiculous pricing for their products even though now they have a very stripped down IDE which can be used for free till you hit the USD 5000/year revenue limit.
