That's an interesting idea, it sounds a lot like nanotechnology that exploits various quantum effects. My extremely layman understanding notices the currently known high temperature super conductors are crystalline, structure seems to

I'm familiar with that perspective, and biased towards it... Cloudflare is certainly in such a position, but they are a relatively young company (for their size and reach) and I've seen good things come from them. I'd guess t

FYI, this guy is far from alone, your "protection" has given me a lot of grief over the past few years, particularly on highly NATed mobile networks. I've been gradually removing cloudflare based CDNs from services I develop

Doesn't decompression require the entire stable fusion model? (and the exact same model at that) This could be interesting but I'm wondering if the compression size is more a result of the benefit of what is essentially a massive

That's only referring to current maturity... the differences are more nuanced. I'd recommend reading the article, it's not super long.

However it was revealed not long ago that a lot of the third party cookie consent forms used by the majority of sites don't actually have any effect when you interact with them... i.e they tracked everything whether you consented to it

The main page css and js are now serving with 200. But other pages plenty of images are now 403. [edit] And are gradually turning into 200 on an individual basis... definitely feels like a CDN/Edge caching thing.

I'm not sure why you are so selectively reading my post. I'll paste the first sentence of my first paragraph here again, it provides a good reason: > I appreciate the one less job in maintaining self hosting... I have other thi

For teams that only need git hosting the recent price hikes are complete nuts... changed from 0$ to 20$ per user / per month, i.e $240 per user / per year - this represents about a 120x difference in price compared to self hosting

Thanks :) I was pleasantly surprised with the latency too, admittedly the web audio engine of the browser is doing all the heavy lifting - I noticed that it seems to sacrifice audio quality for speed if you push it too far, e.g my struggle

You forgot the HTTP header... Which is variable size, but unfortunately usually quite large. They can easily be in the 500 to 1000 byte range, taking up most of the first TCP packet. e.g this HN page has a 741 byte header. I suppose if you

Yes, brave is not a "hard fork" in the sense that it tracks upstream rather than diverged from it at some point in time. The difference is that they can try and add and remove bits on each rebase, but ultimately it's beholden

LFS is not comparable, you can make your own opinionated choices and so it's feasible to have a small scale linux distro. The web is not like that, there's a massive non-optional spec you must implement for your browser to be mini

I feel like there is room for an underground torrent scene to re-cut awful films and tv shows - especially the ones that excessively interleave different stories, spreading out the meat with lots of bland filler. Maybe we can have our own p

Speaking of star trek, I'd highly recommend "lower decks" to anyone who is repulsed by the latest live action horror show. It's kind of funny that a lower budget cartoon has managed to be more authentic, original and wel
