Cloudflare Workers run in V8 isolates, which are much lighter-weight than containers, with the ability to run thousands in the same process, and start up new ones quickly on-demand. For Cloudflare it's usually easier to start your appl

That should be only if you're on the free plan that has a 10ms time limit. Paid plan gets 30 whole seconds which is plenty of time to hash lots of passwords.

If you have a reproducible test case that runs reasonably quickly, then I think printf debugging is usually just as good as a "real" debugger, and a lot easier. I typically have my test output log open in one editor frame. I mak

Some games support it, some don't, but why does it even matter? Surely internet connections are sufficiently ubiquitous these days that nobody is trying to play PC games while totally offline? You can still have the players in the sa

They don't. The symbol is NET. But I think Twitter lets you use $ as an alternative to # (hashtag), and people use it specifically in front of stock symbols, and now it's becoming customary to prefix stock symbols with $ everywher

> it feels like it's essentially Cloudflare employees improving Cap'n Proto for Cloudflare. That's correct. At present, it is not anyone's objective to make Cap'n Proto appeal to a mass market. Instead, we mainta

Well I certainly do get stressed sometimes (particularly when cat-herding at work) but overall really can't complain! BTW it's not a renovation, we build the house from scratch on an empty lot. :)

I have a wireless keyboard nearby that I used to select songs. Yeah I have never used the bar. Probably because I learned to play at home, starting on a basic foam pad, and so obviously didn't have the bar available.

Thanks from me as well, I am in fact going to get one of these and if I like it, equip all the stations with them!

Nope, I've never experienced that issue, in a decade of using these keyboards for gaming.

I don't recall what the price difference between K and non-K was at the time. I'm not a big fan of overclocking but I think the price difference must have been negligible. Or it might have been that the only "F" options

Oddly enough, my memory of IPX/SPX was that it "just worked" by default whereas when we switched to IP we started having to manually configure IP addresses and make sure no one chose the same address. That said my first LAN p

The kids' cat doors have latches so they can lock them. The primary bedroom's cat door technically is lockable but I don't know why I'd ever lock it! The lower-level bedroom's cat door doesn't have a lock, but

No, my chair was the one seen at the very end. (The first/last room in the video was my bedroom so I was sitting at my regular desk.)

5200 sqft. There are 5 heat pumps which seem to combine for an average 10kW power usage, with considerably less variation through the day than I would expect. Yes, they did blower door tests.

We do have an ERV. But I suppose the cat fans don't actually exhaust through it. Maybe we could have arranged that had we thought harder about it before construction...

Correct! We never wear headsets at LAN parties because it defeats the purpose. Each computer has a sound bar and everyone just uses that. Yeah, that means everyone's sound gets mixed up and you don't get positional audio, but in p

I dug up an old video from 2003 and tweeted it: https://x.com/KentonVarda/status/1857991074708369788 But my parties go back to 1996, before we had digital cameras. I'm hoping my mother is able to dig up some

This sounds interesting! Do you have any photos? From the description this sounds like the most elaborate setup I've heard of aside from my own.

Just buy licenses once on each machine and Windows figures it out from then on. I guess it phones home when it sees a hardware change and the server says "yep that serial number is licensed". At least, that's how it worked fo

To be honest I've been using the same Stepmania 3 installation for decades. Never updated to Stepmania 5 because the step chart format changed and I didn't want to find all the songs again. I have not kept up on recent development

Oh I biked down Page Mill and into the hills a lot, that was my main bike route. And yes, it was great. But there was really only one part of those hills that was close enough to get to without driving first. In Austin I have a few more opt

I guess you're suggesting I leave the machines on and hope they all update themselves in the background. I don't think that would really work. Not all the changes I make to machines before a party are things that they'd do au

I haven't actually monitored power usage during parties. But I should do that at the next one... I have better equipment for than now that since we finished the solar install! I suspect though that even when the game machines are runni

Heh, I actively dislike "nice marble" or anything that just looks expensive without providing any functional benefit.

Why not do it live? It works! Well, OK, admittedly in the latest build, I have some stability issues right after boot. But in the worst case the machine reboots once or twice, and then it works. If it doesn't BSOD in the first five min

My junior high friends that I've been having parties with for 30 years live in Minneapolis (where I grew up). They fly out for New Year's Eve each year. But, in fact, some friends who regularly attended LAN parties in the Bay Area
