I'm extremely surprised to hear that. I know that there can be implementation differences, but on the level of application-code, this stuff is super simple. Create a javascript function then upload it. Not really much else to it, so I

I've confirmed that the actual execution of the function itself takes ~30ms, and that the time to download is standard (~200ms). That only leaves the cold start; nothing else makes sense. edit: I even set up a node server on AppEngine

Yeah I tried that, it doesn't work. Ultimately the provisioning algorithm is a black box.

Yeah I could see serverless being useful for those scenarios.

That's what I thought. We've spent weeks investigating this one function and tried everything that Firebase recommends in their docs. Nothing has worked.

Ha, usually it's a game of "is this vscode, postman, chrome, or all of the above?"

fwiw, VSCode is very impressive. I often forget I'm using an electron app.

That always confused me, because I thought Apple had a policy where you couldn't visually replicate their native iOS components, else they would reject you from the App Store. However I haven't worked in iOS-land since around 2015

I think this uses Canvas/WebGL to provoke the GPU into performing calculations behind the scenes. If that's true, I imagine this solution will fall by the wayside as WebGPU becomes production ready.

Fair enough, the second half of my comment didn’t really follow from the first. But I think my point stands about the relative attention paid to FB compared to other platforms. I don’t get it.

I still have a FB account because my family is on there, and even then I check it maybe once a month, if that. It's just not in my life anymore. When I do go on there, I have a hard time imagining how anyone could get sucked into it.

Yeah like I said, I could see it going either way. I think your response would be reasonable, and I would be on board with it. I've never been in charge of an open source community so it's hard to say exactly what I'd do, but

I could see it going either way, but come on, no one in their right mind would think that that's an appropriate joke to make in a public thread with members of a professional community.

They're part of a class but no, not everyone is "legally" protected. Short people are not a legally protected class, hence why it's possible to have height restrictions in certain employment roles (in the US at least). B

But...like...just say no? Am I missing something? If the current CoC covers offensive jokes like the one in question, then simply assert that the CoC covers it and be done with it. If someone is willing to go through the CoC with a fine too

But that's kind of the point, no? You could literally just have your comment as the CoC and it would be good enough to cover the joke in question. So why is the pull request necessary? It very obviously opens up the potential to be abu

It's a bit buried in the GH discussion, but someone else posted it here: "Maybe this has been written for women, having calculated their age ;)" If I were in charge of a community or mailing list, I would kick the person who

It might be slanted in the sense that they're picking out a single thing that was removed, but I don't see how it's misleading. They are indeed removing that line.

I never got through the beginning of infinity, but I did read the first few sections of the book. The argument about removing ourselves from observation in order to achieve better observation was a pretty astounding revelation for me; I

I'm in the process of building a programming language for UI designers, and realized that diffing the AST (or some other kind of object notation) would be far more useful and understandable. I'll probably be digging into this exac

I read a bit about DDD but never really went in-depth with it, like I never read the book or anything. Instead I just try to absorb the major takeaways that I got from what I've read: 1. Bring in people with domain knowledge to help yo

I feel that way now but I'm only 37. I knew it was a bit soon so I went to a doctor, and turns out my testosterone is at 250 (whereas at my age it should be over 1,000). No idea if that's something you've already explored, bu

The game industry and the web industry are so closely tied together in terms of their core working model and architecture. It really is strange that there hasn't been much in the way of cross-domain inspiration or knowledge sharing.
