Ah yep. I guess you could do http polling with a durable object - would have to do the math to see if that had lower expected costs. Websocket are prohibitively expensive.

Yep the cloudflare worker is in the chain of trust for e2e. There’s an attack vector with signalling servers where you can alter the SDP. This won’t allow MITM but would cause you to connect to the attacker who could then pretend to be the

Re: KV https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32286800 Durable Objects + Websockets are way, way more expensive. (At least, that’s how it looked.)

The issue with KV is the write propagation delays across nodes can be up to 10s, so for a back and forth like this that needs to happen quickly it doesn’t work. My original version supported KV but I dropped it because it often failed to co

Oops, I knew it was 3M/mo, typo! Thanks for the note - fixed. Edit: Deno looks interesting - the requirement here is basically similar pricing to Cloudflare, but also needs strongly consistent or low latency eventually consistent k-v s

The bad vs good data dichotomy is a false frame. The problem with the media isn't that it's zero signal, its that it's low signal. Fortunately there's also signal in the differences between the reporting from the vario

I’ve often thought maybe AI will end up helping here. It might be possible to build an AI that can take in all these biased stories and digest them into something that actually has more signal than noise. Lots of possibilities: try to write

This is only approximately true at the engineering level, but at a higher level it’s the exact opposite of true. A widely supported, open standard like this is a fundamentally distinct thing, even if it hypothetically produced the exact sam

A blockchain is relevant in cases where there needs to be an actual chain. But in any case, you're focusing too narrowly here. Instead of honing in to try to disprove that a given technology is the proper solution, it's smarter to

Will any of these people eat crow if the deal closes at a lower price? Probably as much every other time they’ve said Musk was done with Twitter and then escalated towards owning it.

The market crashed to hell and it makes no sense to close on a ~50% markup when the penalty is at most $1B. It seems kind of obvious to me he’s angling to get a nice discount and close, since he has almost all the leverage (the shareholders

This isn’t a contradiction - the claim is that the only entitlement one has with open source is that which is outlined in the licenses. This is objectively the floor across all projects. From there, entitlements are granted by project autho

At some point we lost the original concept of DSLs. The “domain” here was supposed to be fairly far removed from the realms of software engineering. For example, if you work for a bank, a DSL couched in the needs of financial modeling for t
