Oops. I had quite forgotten that I need to write about that. I said I would over a decade ago, so that's a long time for you to wait. Sorry about that.

I mainly write for myself, so I need the time and the motivation. Until recently, my job at G took up my time and also provided an internal community where I could scratch the writing itch, which reduced the motivation for public writing on my blog. But now that I'm semi-retired, I'll try to write more frequently.

Thanks for the accountability!
I followed Tesla and Musk pretty closely for a long time. It really seems like everything about Cybertruck was the Falcon Wing doors lesson all over again, which Musk claimed to have learned. Apparently not.

I know they no longer support free e-mail service, however, which was a bummer.

I never had an issue with Gandi so far.
But the author here worked with him directly for years, the article recounts several personal interactions that went weird. You haven't met him, neither have I, but the person we're talking about certainly has.
We use OVH at my company too. They are pretty good and affordable.

My only complaint is that one day, they had an electrical problem on their datacenter and we were down for an entire day. We lost dozens of clients that day.

But this was 6 years ago, so a lot must have changed since then. And yes, I know we should have had a plan for when such things happen, but we didn't have one. Nowadays we have a different architecture with more than one cloud provider for redundancy, and it's cheaper than having everything on AWS.
> E.g., if you can separate the set of functions into "functions that (indirectly) are exported or have their address taken" and "functions that (indirectly) invoke a function pointer", then you know that there can't be any recursion through function pointers. Basically just a form of escape analysis.

Sure, in toy examples. But you can't actually do this in a nontrivial codebase that wasn't written to support it from the ground up.

> And if you're writing your own language, you can just have explicit 'colored' functions (and corresponding pointers), and enforce that the call graph between different colors has no cycles, and no function invokes a pointer of its own color. Generics would get a bit messy, but it's still far from impossible.

Everything is easy when you don't spend 5 minutes thinking about the possible problems with it, much less actually implement the idea you're proposing.
So? US AI must implement US rules by law. AI models are heavily censored and tend to favor certain political viewpoints.
Even in parallel, there are tradeoffs: run them all in one container, or chunk them out to available workers. The first runs into resource constraints; the latter takes up everything in the shared pool.

With IaC, emulating a constellation of all dependent services along with the site is technically feasible. (There are other possible constraints.)

What's your ideal scenario? For example, k8s + cloud, ephemeral db, auto-merged IaC file of a thousand services, push-button perf testing, regression suite with a hundred bots, etc.

I (a UKian) use YMD ordered formats everywhere possible and have done for many years, a few decades in fact, perhaps even before I know of ISO8601. I've seen more pushback about it from USians than us EUians, for no reason other than it isn't mm/dd/yyyy. In my experience most people outside technical circles on both sides of the big wet are unaware and just use their local legacy format, when EUians see yyyy-mm-dd (or the undecorated yyyymmdd) they tend to get it and accept it (though often keep using what they have always used), where some very vocal USians take a different format existing as a direct comment that their usual format is wrong and feel that as a personal slight rather than technical matter.
> Sending a deeply nested JSON object as part of a request to some API should not crash the server that handles the request.

But the API should have limits. For example, respond 413 Payload Too Large if the request is beyond any normal size for that API. Document the limits to API users. You now have an upper bound of how much nesting can be in the user input.
There's gazillion valid managed DB offers.
Canuck here. We're considering getting off AWS and our exposure is mostly limited to EC2/RDS/S3. OVH has a bad rep in Canada from my limited experience, but it's always hard to tell what services folks were using and how and when.

Our biggest concern is a reliable replacement for RDS-postgres, which we've been using for about 13 years now and has been rock solid with the exception of a single, short period. Even then it was an update that caused high baseline CPU usage and AWS had it fixed in a few days.

Cost isn't the primary concern - though lower costs would be a nice side effect.

Shopping list:

- Good OpenTofu (or Terraform) support

- Reliable

- Good managed database (we could roll our own here if needed, I just don't wanna).

- Canadian DC

Nothing we do requires high performance or anything vendor specific. We also roll our own o11y and don't use AWS's vendor-specific solutions (at least not primarily).

Then the people who punish those in power will gain too much power.

The reality is our system is not compatible with the internet. Our system is made for a network with much lower density and clustering coefficient. When you crank these up with the internet, it creates power law distributions everywhere.

Complaining a few people have all the wealth when we have created a society with this massive power law distribution of wealth is just pointlessly stupid. Of course they do.

There is nothing really to figure out. The system isn't going to work long term.
I think most people are just in denial of this because they think there is a solution. No, what we are doing right now, communicating like this, is the problem itself.

Of course, if we stopped using the internet society would collapse too.

There is no solution.
OVH is a public company.

Public vs private companies are day vs night when it comes to transparency.
It’s also the pain AWS sales is pounding on IT teams that want to switch with a „too good to be true offer“ and some steak dinners with your c-suite later and you have to suffer through endless meetings with „specialists“ that are everything but.

Okay but this is still a poorly considered design element, especially when a company is willing to sacrifice so much else to its peculiar aesthetics.

Fire up the Tor [0] and Privoxy [1] daemons then set variables these vary by text browser to use the Privoxy proxy with your text browser. links, lynx, w3m, etc... The variables are usually http_proxy, ftp_proxy, etc... and specifically also PROTOCOL_proxy for lynx but I would read the man page for whichever you end up using. curl can use variables or the --proxy flag. Privoxy acts as a regular proxy and talks to Tor on the socks port. There are other ways to accomplish this as well.

Another method is to use Squid chained to Privoxy to get caching and find grained controls over URI, Method, File Type, Client / Server Headers and other ACL's. Newer major versions of Squid 6 can talk directly to SOCKS but most distros still have 3 in their repositories probably due to the configuration directives changing so dramatically between 3 and 6.

> I did not mention apple in my comment. And what you wrote does not contradict what i wrote.

I believe it does. You wrote that the DMA is intended to make gatekeepers lose market share, "even if it comes at the expense of consumers." Clearly this is coming at the expense of no consumers. On the contrary. This is a major improvement to way we use these essential products. I provided concrete examples of the iPhone that I use. This is a major win for consumers across the EU. It's also a major win for competitors. The only company it hurts (ever so slightly) is Apple and a handful of other trillion dollar companies, and I think they'll be just fine.

As for "intending" to make gatekeepers lose market share, one could argue that all anti-competitive laws "intend" to make market abusers lose market share. We still consider anti-competitive laws a net good for the market and society.

Whenever I see a Cybertruck, I think it must have been a kid who was born too late to buy a DeLorean, he grew up and saw another stainless steel vehicle and said, “I’m in!”

Isn't OVH a budget hoster, especially compared to AWS? Are you compensating that somewhat on the engineering and high-availability side?

I work for a consultancy company that helps other companies set up cloud infrastructure and secure it. We have a lot of customers on a lot of different platforms, from all-in on AWS, Azure and GCP to smaller local cloud providers, and it's interesting to see the market evolve.

It's true that using some of the smaller cloud providers can save you about half, but you might need an experienced engineer to come up with solutions and an extra machine here and there to ensure availability, so the one-on-one cost is not that clear-cut. Lots of smaller companies go all in on e.g. AWS, but then their eggs are locked into one expensive basket, especially if you build your product on AWS-specific services that can't be moved easily elsewhere.

Yes, it does a quite decent job in both high and low frequencies. The place I live in actually used to have a quite large construction area right next to it, so having something like this during the day was a godsend.

(Not OP) Scaleway is quite better at UI and has excellent support in my experience. OVH is a bit rougher but offers more solutions IMO, and has DCs in America (Scaleway is purely European).
> this sort of power transferred to twitter

Twitter is not the place where the masses are being influenced. Especially outside the US, as in most other countries Twitter barely found adoption outside of tech and journalist circles.

The majority of voting people (= old people) are still on Facebook. And besides Facebook, Meta also own Instagram. Meta is definitely the single company with the most encompassing political influence tool, should it choose to use it.

> Not every recursion can be transformed into tail recursion. If it's not simply tail recursion [...] you still have to manage the state somewhere. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Ok, every recursion in a language that supports programmer-managed state can be transformed into a tail recursion. That still means any recursion in all serious programming languages and most joke programming languages too.
Frankly speaking, I read about Musk going bankrupt every month since Tesla's were introduced, than SpaceX was supposed to sank Musk (until it turned out that it and Virgin "disrupted" space industry), than Twitter purchase, now we have Cybertruck.

Not being a fun of Musk as a person (as I am not fun of B. Gates or S. Jobs) I do appreciate that he delivered a breakthrough in at least two industries that were considered staled, unapproachable and closed to existing players (space and automoto). So I will give that Cybertruck a benefit of doubt.

Seems to only affect some users. Also, not claiming it was on purpose or with malicious intent. I’m sure it is an unintentional bug.

I knew Rivian did, but I don't consider them since the cars are more than double the cost of Model 3 and Model Y, plus who knows how long that business exists since it still doesn't earn money. Same with Polestar, they are gambles that rich people can afford to make.

I didn't know Hyundai sold online, but that's good news. If only their prices were $20k lower. There is no way I am paying $55k+ for a Hyundai, especially without a $7,500 tax credit compared to a Tesla.

I just checked Tesla inventory, and they have 3 row (5 adults + 2 kids) 2024 Model Y AWD Long Ranges for $39k to $41k (with tax credit) on their website right now.
I find it strange that you seem to think he called them nasty because they are Asian an not because of the slavery and scams.
I think, the consensus is that Tesla would have to be at least as low as around $100-$120/share before there is a margin call on Musk's debt (with Tesla stock as collateral). So it will still have to drop 50% from current levels for the house of cards to start collapsing. But I guess nobody outside Musk and the bankers know the actual price point.

Is it possible -- Yes, but not super likely in the near term.
not cheaper than rds
I'm curious too. I think OVH is ahead of Scaleway in the B2B market. For example in Italy you can only sell to the public sector if you have a local subsidiary passing a number of bureaucratic hurdles. OVH has one, Scaleway doesn't; so OVH seems to have gained about a hundred contracts, while Scaleway got only one years ago (though they're very small numbers in both cases; the Italian government is in the pocket of AWS/Azure/GCP/Oracle).
Current US leadership only works for the few guys at the very top.
