This is an extremely unconstructive comment. It's easy to be critical with 20/20 hindsight. More constructively: what would you have picked back in _2011_ when Cloudflare was getting off the ground? Ideally, it needs to have a mem

Further, sometimes users aren't truly aware of the implications of what making a bucket "public" means. Heck, maybe the original use-case wasn't too concerning, but it changed over time. The folks writing/reading fr

You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s a “technically wrong” term that conveys enough meaning: unlit fibre you buy and light up yourself (usually).

Neither is “great” on a GPU: • Image optimization is still mostly software: JPEG, PNG, WebP. GPUs do not bring much to the table here at all, and consume a lot of power, which is likely to upset the hosting ISP of that cache node. • Video e

As a Googler: take VM rightsizing recommendations - "save $X because you're underutilizing this machine shape" - and extend them to encompass this by including VM-family swaps based on underlying VM metrics? :)

That still breaks the experience. Now you have tampered content AND broken clients. TLS does wonders for preventing transparent proxies, DPI & ISPs from modifying or tracking what you see.

Disagree. - TLS is still important to stop tampering of video content or images, as well as user privacy over what content was specifically viewed. - Some ISPs have (and still do) intercept plaintext video content -> transcode to a much

Correct. Results are cached for the same program “ID”.

This is categorically untrue. They are not a secret due to the approvals required at a local level and by the FCC. Many carriers lease space on the same towers, or have agreements to lease space from others in certain markets. You almost ne

I’m not sure why the other post was marked dead, but AutoML models can be exported - you can export them to TFLite format[0] and then run them on edge devices, such as a SparkFun Edge[1] or a Coral SoC / board. [0]: https://

Some customers also believe they want this: CDNs are often about both performance (content closer to user) && reduced origin load. Caching a (too!) broad set of error codes “achieves this”, with the caveat of a poisoned cache.

I'm consistently amazed at how many people [on HN...] over-estimate the size/scale of Cloudflare. Comcast is a huge, multi-billion $ operation with global contracts and broadcasting capabilities, and > 184,000 employees globall

That feels like a headline feature - cards not being tied to specific humans at the org is great for the (SaaS/IaaS/Cloud) reasons above. The 1:1 person:credit-card mapping for those without invoice billing will continue to cause

IIRC that's never been a public API; more of an artifact for troubleshooting/support. Relying on it / parsing it directly was never recommended when I was there.

Paragraphs 3, 4 & 5 of TFA speak directly to the benefits of a module proxy and mirror w.r.t. module availability & performance.

I think the part here is that there aren’t tools “like” gofmt - there is only gofmt. Other tools wrap it, but there’s no choice (and bikeshedding) to make.

Also: if they switch to another app, platforms like iOS will pause/suspend (within a few seconds) the upload before it likely completes.

The USB accelerator is designed for that - so you can target models for the a (small scale) TPU and then scale up on the cloud. This would specifically let you make sure that the TensorFlow ops your algorithms use are supported on a TPU.
