It's not an automatic hard-stop so you could still screw yourself over pretty badly with runaway spending.
Not really. PKI has always been that way since before the web. Mainly because the use cases are so varied and it there is the tendency to support every possibility under the sun.

For the longest time the web PKI lacked a singular view on what exactly they were supposed to be signing. Its usage reflects that.

That is deeply rooted in culture. I mean, we do speak about a culture in which X.509 was a reasonable choice. Years after the X.500 universe was cold to the touch at that.

The rest of your comment seems directed at someone else. Framing this on automation is misleading, which is what the examples in my comment were intended to show.

The market penetration of the switch makes it harder for Sony to expand into the family/casual gaming space. That forces Sony to stick to the AAA lane (which is where their focus is) limiting their growth opportunities.

If the switch had been a failure, then a lot of households that currently have a switch (only) would have bought a different console and that would likely have been a PS5 (even if they held on to their previous generation console, and waited a couple of years until the PS5 price dropped below $500)

I have a PS4 and a Switch at home. The kids play the switch and occasionally play on the PS4. I can't justify buying a PS5 because there's only so much
gaming time available, and family gaming is covered by the switch and my personal gaming is good enough on my PC. Take the switch out of the equation and that changes.

PS5 is winning the AAA console lane, no doubt. But Sony could have been making more money if they could also own a significant portion of the family console lane.

Firebase is pretty simple to use, and possibly because of this, I've seen quite a few terrible implementations. I think it attracts people who only know app development, where security, scalability, authentication, etc, are not really a concern because you have exactly one user on one device.

It's easy to accidentally make a bunch of information world-readable, and if a malicious user gets hold of the right details they can simply read all your content out, or even start writing bad content in, racking up a bill in the process.

Whether this is what happened here or not I have no idea. And I don't think this is even really a problem with Firebase, just an indicator of the sort of developer who ends up using Firebase and their background.
> Do you think the code can be extended and maintained by someone other than you? How about a large team?

There's no track record of it but I believe it would be ok in the right team. The core idea was stolen from every other frameworks: "build your app as a tree of components". In the approach I went with, components are modular and expressed like this:

```
export default function (render, props = {}) {
render($domNode)
}
```

in practice, a working code loading another component would be:

```
import FooCompoment from "./component_foo.js";

export default function (render, props = {}) {
const $node = createElement(`
<div>
<div data-bind="component_foo"></div>
Name: ${props.name}
</div>
`);
// render the component with an animation
render(transition($node));

// render a child component
FooComponent(
createRender($node.querySelector(`[data-bind="component_foo"]`)),
{ ...props },
);
}
```

The syntax is arguably less nice than JSX but the upside is 0 running cost and the idea around decoupling components remain. A lot of people have argue that I just end up maintaining my own framework but the reality is what would be considered "framework code" fit under 200 lines of code ....

I’ve also been using ZFS native encryption on my machine. I wouldn’t describe it as flawless- but that’s mainly due to how nixos-unstable works.

There have been several times where the latest “stable” ZFS doesn’t support any of the newest kernels, and the “latest working” kernel goes EOL, and so nixos completely drops it.

And my options every time seem to be

-roll all the way back to latest “LTS” kernel. This sometimes breaks things.

-skip ahead to a beta release of ZFS (this isn’t always an option, and do I really want an unstable file system?)

-just don’t update for like a month and wait for new ZFS to release, supporting a newer kernel.

And there really isn’t a good option here. Theoretically there’s another option where I maybe keep using the EOL kernel version, and update the rest of my system normally, but I haven’t figured out how to configure that. So I just pick whichever option breaks the least amount of things each time. It’s definitely more of a ZFS issue than something NixOS-specific, but it’s annoying when I’m suddenly greeted with “That kernel version is EOL now.” And the update fails. And there is no easy way to ignore that and accept the risk of a slightly-outdated kernel.

Capabilities wise, it was identical to the original Game Boy. Just four shades of gray for games to draw in.

"New @CMUDB Course: Database Query Optimization

This is a special topics course on how to build a SQL optimizer from scratch covering foundational and state-of-the-art implementations. All lectures available on Youtube: https://15799.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2025/

One topic we will discuss is the Cascades optimizer architecture. There has never been a good description of how to implement it but the Microsoft Research Database Group just published a book that describes SQL Server's implementation. Microsoft has made the entire book available for free: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/extensi...

Query optimization is the hardest topic in databases and this is the first time I am offering this course. I am going to make mistakes and say incorrect things in my lectures. Send corrections to db-mistakes@cs.cmu.edu"
I understand joking about this and the possible downsides, but there are good reasons why cloud services are set up this way: 1) it's impossible to bill at scale and exactly cut off service usage globally when a target is hit, and 2) most companies don't want a single point of failure like a misconfigured budget to bring down their production services.

The answer is probably quota management, where a limit on the number of VMs or size of database or something, caps the worst-case scenario, and where it's arguably easier to monitor an approach to that quota as it's more granular than billing.

Personally I think cloud providers could have an explicit "hobby mode" that limits certain things in such a way that the spend can't run away like this, with the trade-off that they're not really production grade in a sense, but then again those accounts are probably worth anything so I understand not building that out. That said, whenever I've seen one of these things happen, it always ends with "FooCloud said that as a one-time gesture of good will they would write off this accidental usage", so while briefly scary, maybe this is the system working fine overall?
This is a VM only version of OCP. No containers or microservices.

So if you haven’t migrated into that state mentioned but want a Hypervisor that isn’t VMware and have enterprise support.
This is about the gap between Figma and React/Tailwind/CSS-in-JS, which is wider than Figma -> CSS
In the days before, there used to be a hard spending limit - I know this because of an old official tutorial video on youtube. Last time I checked, there was billing alert functionality and they were recommending creating a function that will halt your service when it hits the limit - the problem is, billing lags behind and you can rack up a hefty sum until anything is triggered.

Amazing service but its a scary one. Every time a social-media-worthy accident happens, they cancel the bill but I wonder how many are burned without recourse.

Maybe if your rack up something modest like 5K accidentally, its better to push it as high as you can and get it declined on your CC and increase your social media prospects :)

By the tone of your comment it does sound like they give you a lot before asking you to pay more.

I still really would like to hear a byte amount. How many bytes are you pushing per month?

I don't believe anything is ever free, and everyone promising "unlimited" will still have a point where you are just costing them too much. CF don't want to say the byte number themselves. Could someone please say the byte number. Someone?
My guess is that OpenAI’s margins are much lower so they aren’t in a position to forgive or have people skip out on big bills.

For Firebase, their costs are probably pretty marginal.

300% and you added no additional compute? Prices went up but not 300% unless you got a major discount and added compute.
From my experience, cloud LLMs are still being used by most systems as an "additional feature" with fallback to alternative basic functionality, or some other form of graceful degradation. On the other hand, there typically isn't a good fallback to having your main DB go down.

Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.

Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and probably increase vent area. Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month.

It is a privately owned platform and there is no legal or regulatory requirement that provides for much recourse. You could try a credit card dispute, a complaint with your state’s Attorney General, and an FTC complaint. Considering the state and incoming admin, the first might be the most effective. I would also not recommend giving them any more money in the future, but of course that’s a personal choice.

I suspect that if they tried to sue you over an unpaid bill, they'd lose over issues of proper notice to you. You can't actually bill someone for a service they didn't want and didn't ask for; that's why the wash-your-car-in-traffic people are considered scammers.
While we're on the subject of cert lifetimes. Is there a longer lived, public CA-issued cert for TLS client purposes?

I sometimes deal with a relying party that insists on public CA issued certs for TLS client use, and then makes rotation very painful behind a portal with 2FA etc. This would be fine if public CAs issued certs for 5 years but they seem to be limited to 1 year now because of browser policy.
Did you start with Git or have you used other VCS systems before? I started with SVN and then coming to Git, there were obviously things to learn about how it was different but honestly it felt to me like it made things easier in many ways (since I'd experienced the horror of a very large codebase in SVN with lots of branches, and trying to track those and merge back together - git is so much better at that, it's crazy)...

I can see how it would be a much bigger learning curve if people come straight to git, but it's still hard for me to understand where the blocker is that so many people complain about using it...
You're not wrong. An LLC and similar aren't perfect, but it gives you an enormous amount of legal bargaining power compared to not having one.

They're the ones who were sent in to return two humans from the ISS after Boeing's ship malfunctioned last year. The explosions are typically from R&D projects; SpaceX is capable and practiced at transporting humans (and cargo) without their ships blowing up, and that's where most of their actual business currently is. (The Dragon is the vehicle they use for manned ISS missions.)

This is the sentence in your original comment I had responded to (and I quoted it in my original comment, not sure where's the misunderstanding here). iPhone was resource-constrained, but not that resource-constrained.

I do agree with your characterization of Flash being slow and clunky at the time for the most part, hence prefacing my comment as "nit," although I do not for one second believe that's the primary reason Jobs killed it. If he wanted a fast Flash, he would have made Adobe dance to his standards.
> Anyone know what native screen loads typically are?

500ms sounds about right for a cold launch but otherwise is pretty poor.

50-100ms for "minor" screen changes and 100-200ms for "major" ones are otherwise reasonable for native screens.

Will be interesting to hear the postmortem on the second stage. The booster part seemed to work pretty flawlessly with the exception of a non-firing engine on boost back which then did fire during the landing burn.

If the person doing their on-screen graphics is reading this, I wonder if you have considered showing tank LOX/CH4 remaining as a log graph. I believe it decreases logrithmically when being used (well it would if you keep 'thrust' constant) so that would create a linear sweep to the 'fuel level' status.
I didn't watch the official stream from Blue Origin (watched that one from my phone in bed so no multistreams that time lol) but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Sure, you'll get better telemetry info and the onboard views from the ships that these companies launch in their streams, but the commentary is sub-par at best (they are always sounding so "corporate official" to me) and they just don't provide the best views for watching it live.

I love that these space flight companies have opened up their development process to let the public follow along, I just think they aren't as good at producing live streams as some of these channels that have taken off over the last 5+ years.
> They say they cannot afford to have children in Italy

It’s not a birth rate crisis, it’s a suboptimal economic system crisis, where people of reproductive age do not have the economic opportunity and means to have and support children. The fertility rate is simply a trailing economic sentiment indicator.

We could start slicing off more GDP for human care (healthcare, childcare, elder care, social care, taking care of people broadly speaking), paying people more, enforcing work conditions that are more favorable to fertility and parents, but the folks at the wheel are like “nah” while whining the whole way to the crash site. They don’t want to fix the problem; they want to squeeze to get all the juice without any of the cost.

https://www.aei.org/research-products/working-paper/world-de...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

(to note, some of the fertility rate decline is because of educated, empowered women having access to contraceptives and thereby reducing desired fertility in the aggregate; this component in total fertility rate decline is unavoidable versus the elastic economic component)
