Someone should make a list of all the providers that support some kind of billing budget. It took me way more time than expected to find a CDN that has a budget limit for my personal project (I'm using Bunny CDN)

What? How is that even legal ?

It's ever worse for services like AWS Cloudfront. One of your competitors could just rent a cheap server on OVH with uncapped transfer and incur you $10k in cost in a few hours.

Some platforms do that: - Heroku costs are pretty predicable, and you can easily set a maximum scalability threshold to their auto-scalable dynos, so that they will never cost you more than a predefined amount of money; - BunnyCDN requires

You don't have to immediately delete customer data. Most service that has a limit cap will have a "grace period" of a couple of days during which the service does not work but the data is not deleted. That give your some time

I find it annoying to have all these pricing per second, and now per millisecond. It's really hard for my mind to visualize what `$0.0000000021 per millisec` actually is. Being billed by the millisecond does not mean that you should gi

How so ? I'm still using free tier dynos for small tools and workers just because I don't need anything more.

This is most probably more linked to Java/Kotlin vs Objective-C/Swift. Want an array of 1000 objects in Java ? You'll endup with 1001 allocations and 1000 pointers.

The design is top notch, definitively one of the best simple SaaS UI and UX I've ever seen.

Hey Anthony, I really like your product. It's crazy fast, might solve one of my issue, is super simple to use, and the UI is gorgeous. I've a few questions though: - how do you compare to other privacy focused analytics tools, suc

The problem with hyperloop is that is does not solve the main problem of bullet trains: infrastructure costs. Nobody complains about the TGV/Shinkansen/ICE being slow. Building a new train line cost millions of €/$ per km&#x2

No only suffering from the 2nd world war, but undoubtedly being the hardest hit nation. It's like being a centralized economy really helps when you have to catch-up a competitor, and when the path to achieve that is very well understoo

This does not have anything to do with knowledge. C/C++ build systems are archaic if not broken. I literally wrote a compiler but still spend 15/20% of my development time trying to find the right not user-friendly CMake syntax, u

Am I the only one to see this single-file lib trend as a consequence of the failure of the C++ ecosystem to produce a modern and unified package management platform? Managing dependencies in C++ is a nightmare, and I'm not even talking

I can't agree more with that. I run a small side business, and these unlimited cloud plans are just a no go. A medium to large company could totally absorb a 5 figures bill, but that would be a dead sentence to my side project. Also, c

Bad luck. A small country or state has an higher chance of being an outlier. 11M people live in Belgium, and a lot of +/- 10M inhabitant regions in larger countries have an higher death rate (Paris, NYC, Lombardy, Madrid ...). If you l

Some of these countries are also thermonuclear powers, which basically makes them totally invulnerable to any other country in any major war.

Well, Intel income can also go down fast, and that's probably the main reason we see the stock price going down.

It's not only lagging behind. The US numbers are not showing that the pendemic is under control in a lot of states. Hell, some states like Florida are not under lockdown anymore but still have an increasing number of daily cases. In co

As a western European, most of it is associated with the current president and administration. Almost every European liked Obama and supported his international leadership.

I'm just comparing the per stored GB cost of on demand database services vs on demand storage services.

Both approaches have their advantages. Storing blobs on the DB makes the data more consistent (the database is always in sync with the file content), and allows you to use advanced features of the DB on these files (transactions, SQL querie

Heroku outrage free was 99.9999%+ over the past 60 days[1], I'd have a hard time achieving this with a single dedicated server. [1] https://status.heroku.com/

All these things are relative. When you got applications that don't require high availability while needing a very low cost per CPU, dedicated servers just make sense. We are running a cluster of a few high-CPU dedicated servers for ou

Couldn't it reach such a percentage with a R0 being lower than 10? If your R0 is 2.5, herd immunity will make the current R value go under 1 when 1 - (1 / 2.5) = 60% of the population got infected. While that means that the epidem

That's still quite some decent margin. It takes about 5 minutes for me to fill my 40L tank, which would be about 1€. Everything is automated, there is absolutely no human involved, and it works 24/24.
