As decent as Cloud Run is (and it is nice, AFAICT the most pleasant/productive container deployment thing out there atm), CloudSQL is a tire fire, especially the complete lack of tooling and connectivity if your database is within a

I think there's a lot of strawmen here, many quite analogous to those used to (unfairly IMO) criticize OCaml itself. Complaining about sexprs, when one's baseline is the completely ad-hoc nature of go.mod files, or cargo toml file

I didn't discount anyone's existence, or make any insinuation about "all people" of any description. The claim upthread was that BTC is useful when exfiltrating wealth when emigrating; for that to be a compelling and com

It is unfortunately quite factual that the vast majority of refugees worldwide functionally have no assets and often end up in debt at the end of their journey from home. Anecdotes of relative handfuls of affluent migrants are hardly compel

I wrote "'typical' refugees". No doubt monied folks need to migrate under duress as well, but they are absolutely a vanishing minority of worldwide refugee flows. > It costs many thousands of dollars to cross borders

"Bitcoin privacy" is a contradiction in terms, as has been repeatedly proven. You set up a scene of a refugee "storing their wealth in Bitcoin", but it begs the question: where are these refugees with substantial wealt

Of course, ~every GA alternative is going to be a paid service. My meta-recommendation is actually to opt for zoho's "one" suite, which gives you basically everything they offer for $30/mo/full-time employee: https

Yes, quality nuggets can be found even among refuse, but my point was not to discount that potential. Thanks to the length of the manifesto/thought experiment, at least the first half-hours' worth of upvotes were provided because

As a counter-anecdote, I came to OCaml skeptically in late 2018, having previously done significant work in Haskell, Clojure[Script], and Java. I got up and running very quickly, and IMO compared to those other three languages/platform

It all started with people on twitter referring to HN as "the orange website", usually along with a screenshot of a particularly abhorrent yet not uncommon comment. Thus the "true colors" pun. But you're right that
