I am pretty forward-thinking but even when I started writing my first web server 30+ years ago I didn’t foresee the day when the phrase “my bookie’s datacenter” might cross my lips.

Usage map indicates that either Alaska is a heretofore undiscovered hotbed of juggling or Cloudflare analytics are countrywide

> You did exactly zero code audit.

Couldn't see how you derived that from GP? You read their mind?

> early on we needed Instagram content that could show music visually without filming crowds in a club. We started filming headphone-walk clips: one person, headphones on, walking through town to a track we chose.

Brilliant. Fantastic example of constraints producing richly creative results.

Deep-ish cut

> My Gmail address is my first name

It's good to be you! My wife and I both have 3-letter first names so we never had that option, despite getting in on the Gmail beta 20+ years ago.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had thought maybe as the tiers went up you'd get faster CPUs, but upon reflection the pricing schedule seems to confirm your point. I guess they are completely virtualized because there is not mention of CPU type on the pricing page.

Ah! Relief. I wouldn't have known how to search for that.

Very cool. I feel like Lightsail performed quite well. Feels like a local optimum of some kind. Mind specifying the tier?

You are very kind! Thank you .

> but lately I've been using the mouse where it makes sense

Get off my lawn, hippie

How did you call COBOL from VB.NET? Was it just a matter of shelling to COBOL and writing out text files that VB.NET consumed, or COM interprocess calls, or what?

I too am flightless and freeze while threatened

Duly donated $100. Thanks.

You may wish to reread the comment. I started the phrase with “BTW“, implying I knew it was slightly outside of context.

Hugged to death atm I guess

> If alcohol came inside of little battery powered computers, we should ban those too.

I too am agnostic but do not understand this reasoning. BTW let me get severely downvoted by saying that if alcohol prohibition came up for a vote I'd vote yes in a heartbeat.

I hate smoking, never smoked. Should the vapes be banned because of e-waste, or high school kids getting strung out, or what? It's not a world I know.

> You need to 2x+ the transportation cost of all products... Companies also need to double their specializations and adopt recycling processes that will largely be redundant with other companies

I think 3rd parties would spring up to deal with that stuff

It was amazing being a kid back then because you could earn some decent coin returning bottles

How about finishing Servo?

Mass spec is indeed demonstrated multiple times

The Cato.org one is interesting because it only speculates what might have influenced him, then attempts to debunk those sources.

Obviously I feel like he should be providing his sources.

Should we be forced to drink pasteurized milk?

Kennedy has never said anything like that

He's never been anti-vax, though he has advocated for better data about vaccines with good reason--it's abominable. He's advocated against requiring milk to be pasteurized. One of the few reasonable datasets suggesting it doesn't help is the amish. The other ones sound weird so I will indeed dig a little.

Can you link to your strongest source for one of those claims?

What lunacy?

Because of this I read the article twice and can't determine whether it's some kind of troll. Can anyone possibly think of Google this way in 2026? Asking sincerely.

Doesn't this also show that HTML/CSS performance is incredibly good on web browsers these days?
