Taking down all his projects (not just 12ft) is heavy-handed, but otherwise Guillermo’s response in that thread seems pretty reasonable to me: > Hey Thomas. Your paywall-bypassing site broke our ToS and created hundreds of hours of suppo

In some cases, it’s the same people moved on to a new hustle. Sometimes I’ll google a scammy crypto project that raised $xx million in VC money during the boom times, and more often than not they’re an AI company now.

Good find, but worth noting that this is accusing him of front-running when what he actually did was dumber and more criminal: using FTX customer deposits to cover losses on the Alameda side.

This is a good point, but just a standard for the standard create/read/update (replace)/delete operations combined with some baseline guarantees (like approximately-last-write-wins eventual consistency) would probably cover a

Since I know there will be Cloudflare people reading this (hi!), I'm begging you: please wrestle control of the blob storage API standard from AWS. AWS has zero interest in S3’s API being a universal standard for blob storage and you c

I'm not 100% sure how Flawless works, but you don't need to tap into variable declarations if you can just snapshot the entire stack and heap, so I think that's what it does.

Wasm itself provides some determinism constraints[1] as an explicit design goal, which is what enables things like this. I made a very simple snapshottable compute executer for a talk last year and it took surprisingly little code if you wa

Given the DMV’s wording I’m waiting to see if anything in the official statement doesn’t hold up, but from Cruise’s statement, this incident is absolutely not a good vindication of human drivers, either: > The [human-driven] Nissan Sentr

I just tried it (Chrome on Mac), and beforeunload is not called when I lock the machine. The MDN docs also don't suggest that it should be.

The proposal says that server-side expiration is still required. The ability to request that the client delete the token when the computer is locked is purely additive; if the client does not honor it, at worst you just get something equiva

I doubt many people cheat stars to get hired, it’s just not a major signal there. But with stars being a signal of traction for open source startups, I definitely think there are some companies out there buying them. Particularly in crypto

The current system is incredibly one-sided. I had a company remove a video that was saying negative things about it with a fraudulent takedown. It eventually went back up, but they were able to keep it offline for 10+ days and I had no reco

The DMCA requires that the material be restored “no less than ten days”[1] after receiving the counter-notice, to allow the person who filed the original takedown to file a suit to keep it down if they are serious. The penalty for the platf

Although CodesInChaos didn't specify the initialization, I assume the intent is that each machine would randomly initialize their counter, in order to prevent collisions. While collisions are possible in any scheme without coordinati

Right. I’ve never heard of someone losing control of their company at the seed stage. It’s always after later rounds.

NATS is a server for streaming data. It can be used as a pub/sub service like Redis, but it also implements RAFT consensus so that it can be used for globally-ordered, durable streams (more like Kafka). The server itself is a lightweig

Yes, I agree with you there. I think having static content be captcha-walled is generally dumb. Arguably cloudflare makes it too easy to do this (I think it’s on by default if you use them for DNS?) so I can see blaming them for it.

A CRDT can have last-write-wins semantics (as in the article above), but LWW doesn’t fully describe a CRDT because it doesn’t specify a way to determine which write is actually “last”. CRDTs don’t assume that there is a fully-ordered stream

Sorry about that, I’ll clarify the docs. You can self-host on Cloudflare, but the storage is R2/S3/S3-compatible blob storage. Our tentative pricing is $25/month + $10/10k minutes of “open connection” time (per-document,

Great observation. This helps me reconcile the tension I feel between my “maintainers own us nothing” mentality and my disappointment with the way the base64 API issues have been handled.
