Unity wont bake lights on Ryzen Hackintosh too using Progressive GPU/CPU. Also VMWare won't run because of lack of Intel specific VT-x support, same with Docker for mac, Virtualbox runs fine though (it finds amd-v).

It feels like GCP figured out a way to charge for ingress. I can get behind using NAT instead of our instances having external IP's but a 4.5¢/GB hit on egress AND ingress traffic is hard to swallow.

Safari seems lacking in the browser extensions department.

I would use it for browser testing websites if it's renders identically to the Windows version.

Seems like a good idea to check for and try any export tools before adding content to a system. Furthermore if the site provides the export tool there's no guarantee they wont take it away or modify it.

I commented on a thread a couple weeks ago about Cloud Functions on GCP here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17796893

Eager to test it out we ran thousands of tests attempts with different RAM sizes and I can corroborate this persons findings in regards to the reduction of cold start time from functions with larger RAM allocations and seeming unpredictability of cold start on GCP. I hope with time they will improve cold start times or increase the minimum time for making a function "cold".

Thanks for spending time to let me know because I don't think I would have noticed it otherwise! I can't see it on retina but I can on my non retina display. We'll have to make the CSS rule more specific. As to why it's there I believe Firefox 57 or around that version had an issue with the sliding animation on the top of the page causing images to tear or not render at all when they scrolled in. This bug must have been solved recently because disabling backface-visibility on the image doesn't cause the same tearing.

Among other things with puppeteer we do screenshot generation using GKE on Google Cloud @ https://screenshots.cloud/ scaling up and down running instances depending on demand. We keep browser instances running constantly as the startup time is significant. I will be interested to see what the startup time is for puppeteer on this, will definitely be giving it a try.

Looks amazing guys, public metrics looks like a really killer feature. Hope to be able to afford to spend $80/month on this in the future!

You can run your daily/hourly backups on the mirror and not impact performance on your main database.

PhantomJS doesn't need Xvfb anymore it can run headless without this dependency.

You don't have to refresh the page, you could make it so that your next page click loads the full page instead of using ajax/pjax.

quick pjax e.g.:

  <html data-lastupdated="1234567890"...

  $.getJSON('/lastupdated.json', function(lastupdated) {
  	if(lastupdated > $('html').data('lastupdated'))
  	{
  		$('a[data-pjax]').removeAttr('data-pjax');
  	}
  });
