There's already Drupal, Joomla, Ghost and many more. What I'd like to see is a CMS that uses git as a data store and renders to a static site. Something that can render to S3, Google pages, Cloudflare pages or a random FTP server.

Cloudflare don't charge per GB/TB. You get unlimited bandwidth even on their free plan. The problem with paying per GB is that it's in the CDN's interest for you to get a DDOS attack so they can charge you for all the ba

I suspect it's because DuckDuckGO is Bing, and Bing is getting worse. Why is Bing getting worse? Because Bing has grown enough market share to be worth SEO people optimising for it.

In most of the world, unless the intersection has pedestrian features (like traffic lights with green men or islands with pedestrian waiting areas), it's better to cross the road away from the intersections. Then you only have 2 direct

This. If it's not the case that all entrances have a Yeild (what we call "Give Way" in the UK), it's not a normal roundabout. The feature that seemed to be missing from the roundabout in the original post was any kind of

There's another thing that happens with busses that makes it worse. The further behind the previous bus a bus is, the more people will arrive at the bus stop. The more people there are at the stop, the longer the bus has to spend picki

Pi is the "the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle in Euclidian space". Everyone agrees that. What people are arguing is that when you have a circle in non-Euclidian space, so that the ratio of it's circumference t

It's fine to use them for disambiguation purposes. It's not fine to assume that just because I know someone's SSN (and maybe their DOB) I am that person.

I'm amazed it's just 14%, not more like 75%-80%. Surely a lot of customers are going to uninstall and move to competitors. The remainders are at least going to demand much cheaper service with better guarantees going forward.

I think it's probably not a kernel patch per se. I think it's something like an update to a data file that Crowdstrike considers low risk, but it turns out that the already-deployed kernel module has a bug that means it crashes wh

$5k/month was 25% of his pods, so the total was ≈$20k/month. It's entirely possible that self hosting would cost much more than that, particularly as they wouldn't be able to save costs by scaling down.
