Sounds like they’re just using the wrong service. R2 is designed for object storage, and has 0 egress fees. That’d be the way to go. Not sure why the support engineer didn’t mention it. The standard cloudflare web caching probably doesn’t w

“On call” has a precise, intuitive, definition that “receives messages and can respond to them at-will” does not fit.

The gaps between rings are affected by the climate and can be used to find the years when a given pics of timber “accumulated” around the tree, by piecing together a timeline of gaps across many trees harvested over a long period.

For the specific term “NPC” maybe, but the idea of “There is a main character and every one else is a machine” goes back much further - Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions (1973) tackles the idea in a particularly humorous way. (Not too

Any isn’t required. The go-to example of unsoundness is the Cat[] ref that you alias as an Animal[], append a Dog to, then map over the original ref calling ‘meow()’ on each entry.

As horrendously user hostile as that is, the use case here seems to be you find an event to attend when in service range and want to check back on it when you’re nearby, which may be out of service. The 7 day expiry wouldn’t be hit.

The intended runtime platform is serverless/edge compute, not client side. Think Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, AWS Lambda, etc. The idea is these runtimes typically only allow HTTP outbound requests, not whatever protocol

Monitors output color via modulating three color channels. The modulation can either vaguely correspond to how the original wavelength would activate the three cone varietals in most humans, or can bear absolutely no relation to that. Equat

Removing yourself from the equation makes it easier to see: imagine a ball on a string in a car. Something happens and the ball moves forward relative to you. It’s not hard to see how you might assume a force pushed the ball forward.

Roughly speaking sure, but the color mapping function they used just paints the longest wavelength the telescope can see “red” and the shortest “violet”. No attempt is made to properly “undo” redshifting. I’ve been unable to find any techni
