61·7 days agoI browsed author own codebase and the first thing I saw is 150 lines of C# reimplementing functions available in the .NET standard lib.
An LLM that propose autocompletion for whole line/function.
the most recent Cloudflare drama.
It was made up by a shitty illegal crypto casino:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41091144They’ve been known to fuck customers before but I can’t really find specific examples.
Of course you can’t find specific examples because they are known to be great with customers.
I shouldn’t comment just after waking up.
Instead of changing the symbol, we can ask the unicode committee to put the current fediverse symbol in the unicode.
Michelin Guides is still an excellent source for your trips even if you don’t use a car.
And also to find excellent restaurants near your home, for special occasions.
The point of the article is that the costs increased non linearly with the number of user, the cost just keep increasing.
Maybe why you didn’t notice anything is exactly because they made these spendings to ensure no major hiccups? I’m confident OG Wikipedia code wouldn’t be able to support their internet hosting needs today. Maybe their infrastructure costs would be 100x of today’s if they hadn’t spent the R&D on optimizations?
A few line before what you quoted: The point is taken into account, the traffic did x12 and the costs of server x33, and the author call it
This seems reasonable given that they have improved reliability, redundancy and backups.
since 2005 the WMF has hired hundreds of extra employees and is now spending 1,250 times as much overall
So the traffic did x12, but the spending on staff did x1250.
Did you skipped this whole part on purpose or you didn’t read the article completly and jumped to there ?
You started to say “yes but they didn’t had a single year in a net loss”, the point of the article I sent is that wikipedia is spending too much money because they have too much money.
That’s absolutely not the point about the article I just sent.
Saying Wikipedia is a bastion of the old web is funny.

The law enforcement should be more proactive on internet.
Free labor is something hard to find
When you are bored, backup a VM then hard kill it and see if it manage to restart properly.
Software should be able to recover from that.
If it doesn’t, troubleshoot.
Really, it is not, it’s just a website that is not bloated. I’m not saying it’s slow, I’m saying it’s the speed of a website not bloated, not a fast website.
If you search webpage that are made to be fast, the load time are in the 80-200ms of total load time.
My own website that was made with not much thought for speed reach 100ms on my PC:
https://draco-lang.org/
And the SVG are unoptimized.Again, it’s a drupal website, it’s the first, or second most popular CMS, there are tons of website running this tech stack.
Instead of using your feeling, you can open the devtools and it measure the load speed, lemmy loads in 800ms. GamerNexus loads in 1.15s.
I didn’t found their website to be “that fast”.
It’s just a drupal website.
They didn’t succeeded because they were good, but because they were popular.
Browser devtools are very inferior to java/.net devtools, except the network tab from the browser, only thing the language I gave as example lack.
This is exactly what the browsers have been doing for decades and why the developer experience with html/css is infuriating.

Of course, I don’t understand why people think it’s “unecessary”.
Do they never do exploratory work and do thing they are uncomfortable with ?
It’s a tool, if i’m in a codebase I know well, it’s often pretty useless.
But I started writing some python, I’m a python noob, copilot is a gigantic productivity booster.
