I would ask, why are they emailing it? Maybe there's a good reason they can't use sheets.

This analogy fails to mention the axe-weilding megacorp working in the canopy overhead :P

If I wanted to support this in a user interface, what would the inputs look like?

For a modern fighter jet, it's a lot. It's planned to remain in service till 2070.

One of the most important strategic innovations of the F-35 has been economies of scale.

I think it'll work pretty well! I might keep something cloud portable cooking away in the background.

The cool part is that the way CloudFlare does it is really cheap

Fair enough, I didn't investigate them very far, as IMO only pubsub maps to the "webrtc signalling for misers" problem neatly enough to make it worth adopting (probably -- they haven't actually said how much it will cost).

From my understanding, yes. I asked about the billing model on the CF Discord 6-12? months ago. I don't know how much it costs per message, or if there is a catch wrt cheap wrtc signalling, however my understanding is that you won't be paying per user or per hour etc. To be clear this is through their MQTT 5.0 service only.

R2 was used because it was the only database-like service CF offered at the time.

IIRC the P2pcf client polls the worker for new peers. Pubsub would let you use an ongoing websockets connection, plus all the channel management logic is built-in. The game-changer is that they've said they'll charge per-message as opposed to per-connection-second, unlike everyone else!

I evaluated using this in prod, but came to the conclusion that R2 was a bit shaky as a database. CF has since come out with D1 SQL, DO (beware vendor lock-in), queues, and my favorite, MQTT pub-sub, which would be better options. They've also been teasing some vastly improved options for STUN/TURN; I wouldn't be surprised if more turnkey signalling popped up.

The relevant test in this report simulated a single-vehicle impact. The best insurance policy against kangaroos/deer is a modern, safe vehicle with crumple zones (and, y'know, an actual insurance policy that you'll live to collect).

Are you using Firefox ESR? It usually has worse support then the regular releases.

The issue was that a specific library would be pinned at a specific version for the rest of the history of the web. As good as SQLite is, I hope to hell we're not still stuck using it to handle mining operations in the oort cloud in 200 years.
