Wasn’t Cloudflare Workers already just a reskin of a trendy paradigm that’s since died down? “Serverless” or whatever stupid name it had?

Why do companies keep making this mistake? My full-time job is completely reliant on AWS and Microsoft and we’ve suffered. On the other hand I run a side business which uses smaller services for things (or self-hosts); hell my personal email is a tiny company in Switzerland.
I’m constantly having better uptime than competitors in the shipping business and I rarely have outages of my own infrastructure. It’s kind of fun laughing at AWS and Microsoft businesses when my tiny website stays online while everyone else is offline.
Ugh, super frustrating to witness this stuff at work.


It would be great if there was a downloadable Windows executable that simply does everything. Install it, click it, it downloads a CD image and either writes it to USB or just manages to boot the image somehow.
That’s pretty much what Balena Etcher does. It even has a dropdown of common distributions if you don’t want to download the ISO yourself.
There might be something better (I use this on macOS) that I’m not aware of though.


That actually bothers me much more. 😂


More predictable low level scumbag behavior from the GOP, the sick fucks.


When they’re like “wHaT if a h0mELeSs cRACkheAd taKEs yoUR TaX m0nEY” and I’m just like “okay, so what if they do?” It literally just doesn’t bother me at all.
I only made it three “scrolls” before I lost my patience. Why does it take so long to go through each one?


I just want a nice economy and social safety net.

To be fair their new AI-assisted Siri loads in milliseconds compared to ChatGPT’s shitty, bloated non-native application on my old M1 MacBook Air. I use Claude Code though usually but it was nice to see something not cobbled together with Electron or whatever the hell it is these days.


Right but if we say “fled” we can get everyone all riled up and increase our engagement metrics.


“If it wasn’t for President Trump the United States of America would not exist right now,” Miller, standing alongside his boss, declared at an event on Friday evening.
This is too much for me.


You know shit has been really crazy when you’ve completely forgotten the McDonald’s thing. That feels like decades ago.


I haven’t looked at the code yet but I imagine one could abstract away the Telegram stuff and make it compatible with a wide range of notification “adapters.” I myself would probably just use RSS.


That totally justifies locking up a bunch of animals and stealing their babies’ milk.


They totally look AI generated. They just can’t possibly be real can they?


That’s true. These days I don’t feel embarrassed but I hadn’t noticed that that had even happened.


I’ve been programming for about 20 years but initially I wasn’t able to get into compiled languages like C, C++, etc. I learned Ruby on Rails pretty easily (still my main language) then moved on to the “uglier” more complicated ones.
I’m self-taught so maybe the high level languages were simply easier to get started with since it didn’t require inventing every little thing. I still shudder at a lot of that original code I wrote though now.
Love to Alpine Linux! I run it on a mini PC as a home router and on a Raspberry Pi. It’s fantastic!


Oh look, another power-hungry piece of shit claiming an election was rigged.
I never especially loved it but that’s good to know. Thanks!
