Surely you mean WebCodecs rather than WebGL/WebGPU? AFAIK no encoding primitives are exposed by WebGL/WebGPU. The advantage of shipping an encoder in WebAssembly for is that you don’t have to rely on the browser supporting the spe

Gotcha, makes sense. I've heard stories of vertical scaling going a *long* way for multiplayer servers if they’re essentially relaying messages. > we will need to come up with a way to route traffic to servers based on what file a u

Congrats on releasing this! I had a look at the server code. Is the idea that you will just vertically scale up the server to handle the load, or is there a mechanism for scaling out horizontally? [1] https://github.com/quad

I don't want to belabor this because Garry has (rightfully) apologized, but I would hope that the standard public figures hold themselves to is “does this elevate the level of discourse”, not just “is it legal to say this”. Things that

It’s also dangerous territory with the FTC, who have fined companies millions for doing exactly that. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/01/...

He also said that the company was massively underreporting how much of its traffic was bots. That sort of thing can spook an advertiser!

There's also a much higher character limit for paying users, so you can post an entire essay in a tweet now. Look at basically everything Bill Ackman[1] posts, for example. [1] https://twitter.com/BillAckman

Right, but how do we know that https://retriever.corgea.io faithfully returns the code in that GitHub repo? We still have to trust corgea.io.

One advantage of using open source products, even if you only use the commercial version, is that they place a limit on how “evil” the company can become: at some threshold, people might decide to put in the effort to fork it (like MariaDB)

This is a user-facing limit; jsheard is talking about how as an app developer you don't know whether your app is below the limit or whether the next allocation will kill the browser tab.

I’m glad to see open source alternatives emerging. That said, a lot of the value in existing cap table software is in the auxiliary services, particularly 409a valuations. I would love to see 409a valuations unbundled from the table managem

The key distinction here seems to be that it uses an in-core database (SQLite), whereas a Go project may depend on an out-of-core database like Postgres, which would then also have to be deployed. For many projects (especially hobby project

You could just use a spreadsheet. The reason I pay for cap table management software is that it’s the easiest way to get a 409(a) valuation, which is something pretty much every US startup needs annually and open source couldn’t replace. (I
