"It is not really true that DNS is for people only" Yes, "Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection... except for the problem of too many layers".

DNS is one mechanism of adding a layer of abstraction.

I can relate to this article. My reaction to what is happening is also: "Leave me behind".

However, missing the joy of the old-school way of growing as a developer is not only the wrong reason, but also very dangerous according to Darwin.

Our customers don't care about how it is made after all, but they do care about long-term support, costs, and predictability, etc.

But I'm not sure whether we can say we made a real net positive progress in the industry. The whole thing is a big mess. In many cases, AI moves us in the same direction in turbo mode, making it not only messier and more expensive but also dangerous.

I tell them, "Leave me alone", as I see this mess as an opportunity if you think the right way, starting from the first principles.

I guess it is clearer if expressed like "Native application took only x% of WASM equivalent".

Yes. A short video I watched mentioned that even touching these thermal papers with normal gloves is unsafe.

IMO, is this Good advice for hacker news itself. It contains diverse topics in one stream, such as history, Botany, and Coding. You can argue it is a feature or a bug.

In almost every way imaginable, I think this is counter-productive. This is just shallow thinking of the policymakers. Do they think human productivity works like machines in a factory? Good luck!

Those images have only a little commercial use IMO.

I'm confused. Everything sounds very expensive to me.

The last table which compares it with the other vendors is surprising. Even Stich Data (cheapest) costs $1 to move 240K records: (1B / 4,166.67 = 240K). Is this real?

So, their solution costs $1 to process 13.6M records. Sounds like this is not very share-worthy.

What I'm missing here?

Love this extract: "Cloudflare’s hard fought victory, the culmination of three years of litigation, is a strong warning to all patent trolls–we will not be intimidated into playing your game."

Thank you CloudFlare for doing your part!
