The plain servers aren't that bad, but then they get some extra billing in. Traffic is pretty nuts, if you sustain sending on that 10 Gb/s link it will cost you approx $160000 per month. Then there are all the services that ain&#x

They are already on AWS, and that is the problem. Probably wouldn't cost 1/10 with normal server leasing, but they have to code their way out of any AWS specific services they rely on before they can switch provider.

But do they make much of a difference? You have always been able to write: myArray.sort(function(a,b){return a-b}) People for some reason treat this syntactic sugar like it gives them some new fundamental ability.

While this doesn't restore minified identifiers, like the LLM version claims to do, it tends to help a lot with understanding the code. Usually minified code still has the original identifiers in global function names, object attribute

To some people Facebook is basically the way of browsing the web, in particular when it comes to news that people don't actively search for.

Obviously this always depends on what code you compare it to. I don't think there can be much doubt that a well written performance oriented framework-free implementation is in practice always going to be faster than anything using vir

For anyone who can live without <> syntax I made DOM Maker, no compilation step, no injection vulnerability footguns, just make a bunch of function calls in a tree structure, and you get DOM with the same tree structure, complete with

That doesn't really matter, everyone know what a Chromecast is, that is worth far more than a descriptive name.

It is probably easier to add more functionality to existing ALUs. Various instruction sets have added "free" bonus operations, but one could go a step further and allow any two functions from a wide set to be combined, the interme

It is not a problem that different CPUs have different execution time, the problem is if the same CPU, running the same instruction has a timing difference depending on the data it operates on. In this regard CPUs have actually gotten bette

You pretty much answered your own question. ~20 years ago and back. But I think it is also worth pointing out that it has gotten worse, those 20 years has been a steady trickle of new foot guns.

We had ~30 years of "undefined behaviour" practically meaning "do whatever the CPU does". It is not new that people want predictable behaviour, it simply wasn't a talking point as we already had it.

The cryptographic constant time requirement only concerns operations that are influenced by secret data. You can't learn the contents of say a secret key by how long it took to load from memory. But say we use some secret data to deter

There is the difference that this mistake is much simpler. A lot of business people will understand that having a litigation team without even the most basic Streisand filter is a newbie mistake. How they should have/could have protect

Being pessimistic is not the same thing as not trying. On the contrary, if you want to make the future better, focusing on what looks to be going wrong is often the best place to spend your effort. The optimists in this context are people w

It is beyond me how a CEO can serve at any board, at all, let alone the CEO of one billion dollar corporation serving at the board of another billion dollar corporation. There are potential issues with non-compete agreements, any and all de

To all the downvoters: Just because something is obvious to you doesn't mean that it is obvious to everyone else. Three character abbreviations can make context discovery really difficult as simply plopping the abbreviation into Google

Having written a fair amount of SPA and similar I can confirm that it is actually possible to just write some JavaScript that does fairly complicated jobs without the whole thing ballooning into the MB space. I should say that I could write

At toy scale, yes, just like quantum computers. And since we haven't seen any news of working boson sampling with thousands of photons I assume that it stops working when you try to scale up, just like quantum computers. New fundamenta

Yes, there are people who don't agree with your consensus, that is part of my point, the consensus is not all that universal. And the other part of my point is that if you only count people who have a full time job developing quantum c

The strong expert consensus has been reached between a lot of people who would be out of a job if their consensus was the opposite.

I forgot the source, but I recall some game dev telling that they had taken to run a basic stability test every time the game launched. Half the crash reports came from systems that failed the test, so those were summarily ignored. There is

I can't help but feel like something has gone fundamentally wrong when there are so many arbitrary strings in the system that this optimisation makes a tangible difference.

None of the airship concept art in that article looks like it passes a simple weight-to-lift ratio check. Real airships have a tiny usable compartment relative to the total size of the vessel, and everything is optimised for weight. And sur

Depends on the aircraft, some small planes are basically stall-free, as long as they have sufficient height they can recover using the speed gained by falling.

They might complain, because that is what ISPs do, but they won't necessarily be that bad off. Popular content can be mostly circulated within their own network, saving peering bandwidth. This will be somewhat offset by less popular co

What you describe sounds like international waters, close enough to the pier to matter would be within US territorial waters. So if the relevant laws are not there it is purely a domestic issue.

It is only 2600 light years away. Our galaxy is a little under 100000 light years across, depending on how you measure. So it is a rare type of double star, and it is very close to Earth, the combination is what makes it special.
