    I would ask, why are they emailing it? Maybe there's a good reason they can't use sheets.

    This analogy fails to mention the axe-weilding megacorp working in the canopy overhead :P

    If I wanted to support this in a user interface, what would the inputs look like?

    For a modern fighter jet, it's a lot. It's planned to remain in service till 2070. One of the most important strategic innovations of the F-35 has been economies of scale.

    I think it'll work pretty well! I might keep something cloud portable cooking away in the background.

    The cool part is that the way CloudFlare does it is really cheap

    Fair enough, I didn't investigate them very far, as IMO only pubsub maps to the "webrtc signalling for misers" problem neatly enough to make it worth adopting (probably -- they hav…

    From my understanding, yes. I asked about the billing model on the CF Discord 6-12? months ago. I don't know how much it costs per message, or if there is a catch wrt cheap wrtc si…

    R2 was used because it was the only database-like service CF offered at the time. IIRC the P2pcf client polls the worker for new peers. Pubsub would let you use an ongoing websocke…

    I evaluated using this in prod, but came to the conclusion that R2 was a bit shaky as a database. CF has since come out with D1 SQL, DO (beware vendor lock-in), queues, and my favo…

    The relevant test in this report simulated a single-vehicle impact. The best insurance policy against kangaroos/deer is a modern, safe vehicle with crumple zones (and, y'know, an a…

    FWIW bull bars make trucks more dangerous for occupants too, by increasing likelihood of life-threatening injuries to leg arteries. "Light Vehicles Safety Built in Not Bolted On" -…

    Are you using Firefox ESR? It usually has worse support then the regular releases.

    The issue was that a specific library would be pinned at a specific version for the rest of the history of the web. As good as SQLite is, I hope to hell we're not still stuck using…

    I have been writing a video game using automerge-repo for networking & save files. I researched Yjs and Automerge and felt that Yjs is better suited to an ongoing session like a co…

    Yes, it's a great fit for this. You would probably want an internet-accessable sync server with a copy of the repo, so that the data is still available when no peers are online. Bl…

    Enzymes are kind of like a tool for breaking apart lego blocks, or a jig for assembling them. This sounds like a moving part that covers the "teeth" and makes it more effective (or…

    Wasm needs to call into JS to do things like manipulate the DOM and use browser APIs, there's an overhead involved.

    If this article is true (i.e. the quoted bullet points were actually said by Kwon) I would feel a bit more optimistic. I haven't checked the veracity at all. The metaculus wager sa…
