Have you done new benchmarks since Cloudflare announced their latest round of performance improvements for Workers?

Just curious if this workload also saw some of the same improvements (on a quick read it seems like you could have been hitting the routing problem CF mentions)

My understanding the "three doses" is referring to the 5, 10, 15 mL amounts not 3 doses a day. Later on it says that the amount itself didn't seem to have as much of an effect as dose + time did.

As a former student that competed in both National and State TSA events from 2006 to 2012 (and won multiple trophies across events including the "webmaster" competition) I'm not really surprised by this outcome. That doesn't mean that its the right outcome but just a result of how these competitions are run.

The judges are all volunteers that may or may not have a background in the actual event they are there to grade. So you get someone that just shows up, reads the rules for the event and then judges accordingly to those exact rules. Which in this case since the website is hosted by Github it automatically gets disqualified for not meeting the rules of the event. This is a pretty easy thing to fix which is either A) Just have a custom domain that hides the github hostname B) host it somewhere else. The students here seem to have taken the B approach and have it up on netlify now.

I certainly empathize with the students here putting hard work into a project only to get disqualified on a technicality, it is a hard lesson to learn and one around maximizing your results within the rules as long as you follow all the rules. Hopefully they will be successful in getting the rules updated moving forward to be more clear about the default github page templates vs just raw HTML hosting.

It's funny to read this now given I was a mod on RuneLocus during what I would consider RSPS's heyday (2006-2012ish range). It felt like the scene died off a bit especially when Jagex finally brought back OSRS in 2013.

That said it doesn't surprise me that certain servers have continued to grow and thrive over the years.

It was noteworthy change for me as I was considering PS for a new project but was a bit weary of the read limit and unwittingly hitting it. Now with the bigger numbers I feel that I have less to worry about and could just dive in.

And since as you mentioned from the post its a popular complaint so I figured others might be interested in this change as well.

Do you mean move an issue from one repository to another? Because that is totally possible now.

Any thoughts on a self hosted version? (I didn't look too closely at all the marketing stuff if this is already addressed)

Would be nice to put something like this up behind our own VPN auth etc

You can say "Hey Google" now which I find much easier to say. Would be nice if you could rename it though.
