If you are using Cloudflare you could use a Worker script to automatically retry the origin pull and only cache it on success.

Where would that GPU go? My laptop doesn’t have a place for it, and doesn’t have the connections for an eGPU. A $300 delta would only be true if I had a desktop. I use Paperspace + Parsec for a regular Windows cloud desktop so I’m not locke

I'm astounded that they would seriously consider closing GCP after committing so much time, money, and effort into building it. Every time there's a GCP story on HN commenters say "I won't use it because Google can just

The issue is intent, did they remove the watermark as a matter of input sanitization, or did they remove it to conceal their behavior. Genius claims it was the latter.

I went through the various providers and ended up using MapTiler Cloud, it is the cheapest option I know of besides generating and serving your own tiles. https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/plans/

I know AMD's resurgence is old news by now, but it's still impressive to look at Amazon's CPU best sellers and see them holding the entire top 10. The first Intel product is the i7-9700K at #12. https://www.amazon.

When I ordered a max spec MBP there was a 2 week lead time before it was shipped overnight directly from Shenzhen to our office in California. My interpretation was that Apple does not build and hold inventory of every SKU, certain configur

Hadn't seen this before, but I've been using a library from Facebook called idx: https://github.com/facebookincubator/idx Idx is a bit more verbose because you have to write an arrow function for each invocat

Grubhubs phone referral system is broken because they count any call longer than 45 seconds as a phone order. When their algorithm determines that a wrong number call will cost the restaurant $8 that is not okay.

I think there is a tipping point in complexity where Excel needs to be replaced by something else. In the IT world I've seen businesses that have essentially created bespoke ERP applications for themselves by evolving a web of interlin

Refusing delivery means they never had possession of the second phone, FedEx kept possession of it the whole time.

TLDR: Some NES game cartridges contained coprocessors. The Pilotwings math coprocessor had 3 revisions and one of them produces slightly different outputs, even though the game ROM is identical. Star Fox had a 2D/3D chip called Super F

It's not just degrading coverage, Verizon no longer allows 3G device activations and is shutting down the 3G network completely on 12/31/2019 [1]. ATT is doing the same in a few years. Interestingly, they are also no longer a

Based on traceroutes and IP ownership Mailgun appears to have migrated mostly to AWS (web app, DNS, SMTP relay) but still uses some Rackspace infrastructure; emails delivered from my Mailgun account come from the Rackspace data center in Ch

You could utilize a managed SMTP service like AWS SES or Mailgun, which is free for up to 10,000 emails per month. They have reference configurations for various MTAs[1] and you wouldn't have to manage IP reputation yourself. [1] http

Thank you, because I assume the last step would be open sourcing it. People like you are what keep hardware going long after the original vendor abandons it or goes under. Also, I agree on waiting for eBay, this is a nice device but I can&#

Three things. First, GAE has drastically, massively improved as a product since it was first introduced in 2008(!). But a lot of people don't know that, and the original reputation remains. Second, App Engine was the original Google Cl

Jupyter has uses outside of data science; I find it to be an extremely useful programming scratchpad for web development with Python and Node. It was renamed from IPython to Jupyter to reflect its broader scope, Python was the original kern

I'm curious, what is there to regret about having a shared core machine type? Some people have a use for them and appreciate the cost savings.

"Stole" is very misleading. Yes, their billing system had a bug and charged a bunch of customers in error. But DH handled it very well, were very transparent about what happened, refunded all the money (of course), and even went s

I agree, perhaps it would be better to compare the iMac's performance against a $4,000 Dell Precision workstation.
