So they're on the list. I feel like at my job I'm pushing at the edges (as far as running large scale, stable production) and we've still got miles left.
Also Bazel.
I guess this is a boring answer.

The m5 instance family was announced in 2017, IIRC.
Sure but the Elastic Fabric Adapter is only on the top tier of instance types. Hoping it trickles down for us normal people.
Self-driving cars. Now that the hype is over and the fake-it-til-you-make-it crowd has tanked, there's progress. Slowly, the LIDARs get cheaper, the radars get more resolution, and the software improves. UE5's rendering approach. They finally figured out how to use the GPU to do level of detail. Games can now climb out of the Uncanny Valley. The Playstation 5. 8 CPUs at 3.2GHz each, 24GB of RAM, 14 teraflops of GPU,…
I am so upset with the state of the auto market when it comes to pricing.
Manufacturing margins are enormous when it comes to cars.
The F150 is no different.
A two seater (effectively) vehicle stamped out of metal and plastic should never cost as much as those things do.
I hate car companies and their pricing models.

> C++ getting serious about safety. Buffer overflows and bad pointers should have been eliminated decades ago. We've known how for a long time. Would love some links to read over weekend. Thanks!
- std::string_view
- std::span
- std::unique_ptr
- std::shared_ptr
- std::weak_ptr (non owning reference to shared_ptr, knows when the parent is free'd)
- ranges
- move semantics
- move capture in lambdas
- std::variant
- std::optional
To be honest, learning rust has made me a better c++ programmer as well. Having to really think about lifetimes and ownership from an API perspective has been really neat. It's not so much that I wasn't concerned about it before, more that I strive to be more expressive of these conditions in code.

WRT F150; I am so upset with the state of the auto market when it comes to pricing. Manufacturing margins are enormous when it comes to cars. The F150 is no different.

FPGAs have been around for quite awhile. Is something changing?
One thing that is changing quickly: deep learning, particularly inference on the edge. FPGAs are more versatile than ASICs.

Maybe it was a purposeful reference, but PlayStations have indeed been linked to create a supercomputer: https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomput...

- Far UVC lights (200 to ~222nm) such as Ushio's Care222 tech. This light destroys pathogens quickly while not seeming to damage human skin or eyes. - FPGAs. I'm no computer engineer, but it seems like this tech is going to soon drastically increase our compute. - Augur, among other prediction platforms. Beliefs will pay rent. - Web Assembly, as noted elsewhere. One use case I haven't read yet here is distributed com…
OK, these are not safe wavelengths, and whatever you're reading is not right. This is absolutely ionizing radiation. The rate of formation of thymine dimers in this regime is similar to that around 260 nm. That is, it causes DNA damage. Please see Figure 8 below:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1751-1097....
The logic of the claim that you can destroy a pathogen with UV but not cause damage to human tissues is incongruous. If it kills the pathogen, it also causes radiation damage to human tissues as well. One cannot dissociate these because they are caused by the same photoionization mechanism.

A while back I installed ServerPilot which automatically sets up Nginx/Apache/PHP/MySQL for you. It also handles security updates. This made those $5 VPS' so much more appealing [1] as I could install lots of small Node.js apps on a single server, and avoid managed hosting providers who seem to prefer charging per app instance. Anyway ServerPilot then scrapped their free plan so I've been looking for an alternative.…
Would love to get your opinion as I'm building a competing product to ServerPilot in this space. Is the $5 too expensive for the service? or is it just too expensive because the billing increases as you have more servers under management, and they charge you per app as well? Are there features ServerPilot is missing that would justify the price more for you? Some examples might be monitoring, analytics, automated sec…
2) Should be free when used in non-commercial applications. Multiple servers included.
3) Keep the common and already available typical configurations free: lamp, lemp, python, letsencrypt, email. Charge for things which no other panel free or otherwise typically supports. lightspeed, go, caddy, load balancing, sql replication, graphql, etc. Thats value.
