There may be more than want involved. Inflation has not substantially slowed, and if you've got to choose between peacock and eating, well. It seems the corpos have recently, more and more, been complaining about people not "wanti

Yes, great post and really interesting work! Thank you, I really appreciate the sharing culture at Cloudflare.

Now that's something I can work with. I don't intentionally spout high rhetoric as a way to chastise or belittle, though I admit I do let frustration leak into my words. I honestly am looking for how I and more people can be a par

I just thought it was amusing that Beoing had also found techs inappropriately using dish soap to fit seals on doors during the plug fiasco[0]. 0: https://www.businessinsider.com/faa-boeing-spirit-aerosystem...

I said money-obsessed, not greedy, not really the same thing, but it is something that's becoming more and more pervasive. Case in point, your whole response was focused purely on money. I actually find it pretty interesting that there

Do you realize that having the time and resources for those things is a privilege that many in poverty don't have?

I'm 2 generations from immigrants on one side, 2 from pioneers and 1 from blue-collared work on the other. I wish more people could empathize with those who struggle within poverty as it is an incredibly hard row to hoe, not just physi

The point is to benefit humanity, not make money. With that said, sure this ideology seems impossible to realize change in the current money-obsessed world, but the thing is that these ideologies are simply incompatible. Yes, I'd say t

Great to know! I'm not deep in the space but was reading about their recent impl update and it seems really well done and much of the ideas are quite thought provoking. I'm not sure I'm sold on nano services, but if their sch

Cloudflare workers use this in an interesting way as well. The capability is basically a function or an object with data and functions is returned from a call to a remote service. The functions are intercepted with proxy to call other servi

Sure... enterprise and gov customers. But I think their moves with win11 show that they view most windows users as products, not customers. Even Apple lets big customers sideload apps, but not the product class of customer.

Just because something is simple doesn't mean it's not broken. If we didn't allow speculation in the housing market, that person probably _would_ be credit worthy enough for a reasonable priced home. The problem we're se

I happen to think landlording is a manipulative use of resources that leverages capital to perpetually inflict usury on people that can least afford it with little hope of raising themselves up. I've had half a dozen landlords in the l

And yet what we see progressing with the likes of Win11 and WEI is that they're working deliberately and tirelessly to make the majority of the PC landscape into appliances like phones. Perhaps someday I will be arrested for connecting

If so, it'll be a great first step and a powerful beachhead to fight from. Making homes into investments, even by you and me in the middle class, is the exact moral failing underlying our problems and creates a positive feedback loop t

I'm sorry, but selling the landlord's literal rent seeking as a value to anyone but themselves is just blatant antisocial shilling.

Seems like functions could work well to give it an active and distinct choice, but I'm still unsure if the function/parameters are going to be the logical, correct answer...

A lazy chunked delivery strategy like used in the k8s stargz-snapshotter[0] project could be effective here, where it only pulls chunks as needed, but it would probably require wasm platform changes. [0] https://github.com/c

I've been thinking a lot about free software ideologies and how licensing is used to somewhat reclaim a legal framework that has mostly aligned itself with property and money. I found the DiBona's explanation quite jarring. Wi

Underrated comment. So many orgs seem to spend a lot of time and effort on DX that makes onboarding, building, and deploying new software packages fast. But in most cases getting these pipelines set up was never a bottleneck, and automating

The Linux OS literally provides sandboxing, we call the set of technologies that provide this "containers". "Containers" are not lightweight VMs; VMs are a virtualized computer, containers are a virtualized kernel. Stati

Good point on the lease returns! I suspect they'll probably be quietly offering sweetheart deals for lease buyouts. They'd be stupid to let those vehicles hit the used market.

Who would have thought that $120,000 vehicles would stay viable post-zirp? What did they think was going to happen once they saturated the market for predatory auto loans?
