I'm super confused to come here and see people complain about its performance.

For me it runs lightning fast, especially compared to other tools like Outlook. Clicking any message loads it instantly, searching through my 30000 emails in 10 different accounts is also instant, etc. Why is my experience so different? Mostly everything is on default settings.

Pretty much the only complaint I have about this tool is that parts of the window sometimes flash for seemingly no reason when it is left open for a while.

Maybe this should give you a hint that said work is completely pointless and merely exists to waste student's time.

Cloudflare makes existence on the open internet possible for many companies.

Stores are closed on Sundays in Germany. People just plan around it.

R2 storage might be within the same order of magnitude as S3, but once you start serving content to users, it becomes many orders of magnitude cheaper.

No, but apparently the urls were not encrypted, so that could be quite a gold mine for blackmail.

The average person, when not allowed to use a convenient password manager, will either use the same password for every site or come up with a predictable pattern. Encouraging a password manager helps make sure they don't get destroyed completely when a blog they signed up on 5 years ago is hacked.

This is partly because so many things want an account now. I have over 500 passwords saved, it would be straight up impossible to remember unique strings for each site.

That's not the issue. The issue is they're doing exactly the opposite of what their new owner proudly, publicly stated they'd be doing.

But how does it help me implement a gameplay mechanic for the "metaverse"?

What an amazing summary. Puts to words what I was thinking but couldn't quite describe...

Do you have some examples of things in here that you think will help you solve current problems?

I'm approaching it from the angle that I don't see how functional programming is at all useful for the kind of gameplay programming that would be done in a "metaverse" or is done in Unreal Engine today. So "it can do functional programming stuff" by itself doesn't cause any excitement. Rather the opposite. There are zero code examples of using it for anything besides abstract math. It executing code out of order seems to serve no purpose besides letting people create undecipherable monstrosities with it.

I'd maybe sum up this presentation as "we took functional programming and tried to make it less unusable by letting you actually mutate state" but I'm still lacking the original motivation of why I'd want to use that in the first place.

It doesn't. This presentation contains absolutely nothing of value for a real programmer trying to actually make stuff.

Hopefully we'll get more useful info soon, once it can be used in Fortnite.

"Read and manage" does not at all sound like read-only access. Is that not supported by GitHub?

I've seen a lot of customers frustrated with the limits and how reluctant you are to raise them, I assume because people weren't paying their invoices.

Perhaps it could be an option to let people back up their words with money up front? I.e. put $10k in the account, proves you can probably afford more than 10 servers.

You've been saying this for several years, and yet there is still no object storage. It's getting to the point where it seems more realistic to believe that it will never happen.

Very happy with both the cloud and dedicated servers, but it's weird how bad the communication is on the object storage thing. If it's not going to happen, why not say so?

However, using Cloudflare R2 to distribute content is still thousands of times cheaper than GCP.

Lol. Last time I said there was no real world use for blockchain tech besides crypto, people put this as a counter example. Look how well that went.

Of course. But it will provide you with free egress for files, a game changer for many projects. I've seen some projects from the community be several orders of magnitude cheaper to run than on competing services.

Definitely worth exploring if you have any kind of large files to distribute, which seems like it might be the goal given the question was about bandwidth specifically.

Cloudflare R2 gives out essentially free bandwidth, if that's the kind of thing you meant?

What are you talking about? Website operators already pay for hosting, which at large scale includes paying for your bandwidth aswell.

Some platforms may use their own scale to provide some form of free hosting, such as Cloudflare pages, but at the end of the day this is just moving costs around between users, and Enterprise customers still pick up their hosting bill.

These people keep acting like they're so clever for figuring this out, yet in reality all they're doing is giving death sentences to European companies by making them unable to use industry standard products.

It sometimes generates such content accidentally, yes. Seems to happen more often whenever beaches are involved in the prompt. I just delete them along with thousands of other images that aren't what I wanted. Does that cause anyone harm? I don't think so...

There are no real world use cases of blockchain tech besides crypto. Or can you demonstrate one?

Sounds like your system is broken, not the site.

This doesn't sound very affordable to me.

I'm thoroughly confused. Is this the 1.5 release everyone was waiting for, or not?

The solution to this problem is to use a public R2 bucket with caching enabled. Block all requests to non-existent files with firewall. Now you don't even have to block those browsers from India!
