Sometimes my keyboards get dropped and lose a keycap or two, but never anything serious. If this is dropped on the floor, my trusty keyboard will turn into a bag of puzzle bits, right in the middle of heated gameplay or a meeting...

Use fixed price hosting resources, those cannot bite you and if they're too small you can always expand by buying more virtual hosts, or even program your own simple scaler (which i am 99.9% sure you will not need this or next year after starting a project). AI is capable of setting up local database, and everything you need without paying 10x to a cloud provider.

The instant cascading worldwide deletion upon closing or deleting a subscription sounds like a recipe for disaster. Why not mark it for deletion and delete say... a day or a week later?

Treat this as person's own contribution. If the quality is bad, means the person has allowed it, or the person's quality of work is bad, and it doesn't matter whether they produced it or AI did. So in both cases they'd deserve a rejection of their PR. The only downside is that it takes away precious reviewer energy and time.

Since Doom renders the image with vertical columns of pixels (floor, lower wall, portal if exists continues rendering the other sector, then upper wall then ceiling) and since browsers are very good at drawing the sprites out of larger textures... You could send vertical divs shaded with the sector light level and picking the correct textures. Instead of hundreds per column you will have like 5 divs on average per column and they will be textured shaded and scaled by the browser?

This should have been in the title :)

I don't get it, do we keep the pitchforks out, or do we stash the pitchforks?

Just checked my Windows (i have latest).

It has Settings -> AI components tab. It has "There are no AI components currently installed".

I will let it stay this way till i need it.

I like AI, but only when i control what it does.

There is a bill, it is paid, too. Russians leave a LOT of papertrail on all their operations, including military and secret service, you just can't always see (aren't allowed to see) the papers.

The Russian wikipedia article sheds a lot light on why this exists. With it operated and maintained by the army, and the majority of messages transmitted in the working hours, this is to verify through the logs of receiving radio operators, that the random message been correctly heard, received and logged. Which means the operator was ready at any given time and fully awake/operational, to hear other real important transmissions.

This is something i'd prefer to save forever. Who knows if i need it in 5-25 years and the website is not there anymore.

You get what you're paying for. Choosing hosting providers mainly by their price, will get you to the cheapest one. Guess how they make it cheap? By cutting on staff (also by moving the data center to a country with lower wages) and hardware and internet and backup power etc.

As you click the date picker, it updates entire page for that incomplete date, and it QUEUES dates for more update, even if you manage to click the correct year, it continues slowly through every year you touched/scrolled before that.

Cost of the traffic is: hardware (staggered cost covered over many months), and running costs (subscription to higher tier internet carriers, electricity, rent of the premises, salaries etc). Most of this is covered by the monthly fees, to have a profitable business one must have those costs covered as a minimum. None of the above affects how much internet data goes through, zero or maxed out capacity, cost is the same.
