Looks like YouTube has reinstated, though Google engineers apparently aren't smart enough to propagate such a change in less than 48 hours: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1546419223466999809 It's

We (Livepeer) switched to self-hosted Loki recently for this and couldn't be happier. Completely S3-backed, cheapest option possible, adjusting your retention is as easy as setting an expiration rule on the bucket. Queries are as fast

All software has bugs; I'm not mad at all that this silly test case was flagged incorrectly. The truly infuriating part is "A review cannot be requested for this restriction." Translation: "We have no idea if you actuall

Hrmph. I went to "past" and clicked back through the last couple of days, searching for the word "Audacity". Wonder why these didn't show up.

They well might be, realistically. Other similarly-atrocious sites that were eventually shut down by Cloudflare had a lot of trouble finding new hosts.

Well, Amjad, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named CodeAcademy and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.

Hah, I'm only familiar with this because it always shows up alphabetically at the start of a lot of Debian package lists e.g. https://salsa.debian.org . Cool project though.

Sure, totally fair - days of continued operation would be but one metric of thousands we could use to evaluate the efficacy/security/decentralization of a blockchain. My concern is that no matter which criteria we pick, and no mat

What would it take to get you to change your mind about PoW alternatives? How many years of secure operation? How much value transfer? How large of an ecosystem? How much academic research into the mechanisms? Assume for the sake of argumen

I believe in the potential of cryptocurrency. I believe it to be the only thing with any chance of upending some particularly entrenched and harmful bits of the legacy financial system. Proof of Work is not necessary to achieve this. Many b

If you're presenting Web 1.0 server-side apps as an alternative to JavaScript, you're trading accessibility for archivability. With a modern SPA, I can have the user download the app once and cache it in a service worker. All furt

I hear these a lot but I've never heard someone self-identify as being on "Team Green" or whatever. They're just nicknames.

Having talked to dozens of Amazon engineers, the only consistent picture I've formed in my head is that the culture varies wildly between teams. The folks on the happiest teams are always aghast at hearing the horror stories.

I only met Dan once but he was kind, enthusiastic, and helpful about a project of mine at a time when I badly needed that encouragement. I'm learning how that he had a similar impact on hundreds of other developers. RIP.

But that's all compile-time. Someone else very smart can do that and give me an optimized binary. JVM tuning needs to be performed by the end user.

I doubt that includes every transcoded rendition of every one of your videos. And I don't think they probably store source videos in the original format in most cases? Hard to say for sure.

Love whitehat crypto postmortems like this. They always read like heist movies. Curious about the use of SparkPool to bypass the mempool and get the transactions minted directly into a block. It looks like anyone can sign up and contribute
