I'm surprised you chose to shelve the project after looking at Svelte, as it's by far the simplest framework compared to its contemporaries (React, Vue et al.)

For example, here is a fully functional Svelte component:

``` <h1>Hello world!</h1> ```

And here's another one that adds a bit of design:

``` <h1>Hello world!</h1>

<style> h1 { color: red; } </style> ```

I wouldn't call it particularly hard!

Yes, you can see a link to Circle if you follow the privacy policy.

I don't think scaling is much of a factor when it comes to cloud cost. Most clouds (AWS, GCP etc) charge for usage which scales linearly. The bigger you are the more you pay. Additionally there are many free resources for small startups. For example Potion is hosting their site on Vercel which costs $20/mo for <1TB/mo traffic.

Could you use CF KV for this?

It's built on top of Notion, so you pay for Notion and you pay for Potion as well. :-)

Actually it's a bit funny because Potion is 2.5x more expensive than the Personal plan on Notion, even though the utility of Potion is provably smaller.

WP has built in cache (an API for it, which hundreds of caching plugins take advantage of).

Built-in CDN doesn't make any sense for the self-hosted version. But you can install a plethora of third party plugins for CDN, like Jetpack.

Multilingual support I can agree with. There are discussions ongoing about it and I do think it's going to drop some time in 2022, but for now you're relegated to solutions like Polylang. Polylang actually works really well out of the box, but it does not have 100% compatibility with every plugin.

Many plugins add dynamic pages to WordPress - e-commerce carts, membership plugins etc. If WP would just add a cache to everything they would not work. You might say that there could be an API for these plugin to register their uncached routes, but not everyone runs Apache - Nginx is also commonly used and would also need to somehow be supported.

As someone who has written their own WP caching plugin, it's actually very convenient to perform the caching in PHP, because you can check for cookies and regex expressions for URLs, and there are many plugins that handle it well. For most sites I use a free one called Cache Enabler.

They have a variety of crypto options. You can also mail money directly to their office and if you are in Sweden you can buy physical vouchers in-store at several places (which can be paid in cash.)

(Just a happy customer.)

The rollback functionality of CF is a blessing. We use both CF and Terraform at my company and i vividly recall multiple times where my connection had cut out during "terraform apply" and left the Terraform infrastructure in a half-finished state.

CF does have a lot of quirks (especially stacks locking up for various reasons, or rollbacks taking hours).

I find it easiest to run migrations when an application is first starting up (with an appropriate transaction lock so other instances won't cause the migration to run more than once), this way you don't have to do a lot of devops magic for it to work.

It will probably only be available for EOL devices.

I've tried this in a classroom settings (with the pipes) - it definitely works.

I hope that you will be able to export your Pulp game to be played in a web browser, like PICO-8. If this framework will require the physical hardware it will unfortunately be relegated to a tiny niche.

I think I'm the target market for this - I run my own cloud on a personal server in my closet. I've been thinking of replacing it with something more compact, so Helm looks great. However, I would never buy this considering the mandatory $99 subscription service. It's too expensive for what it provides, the device price isn't properly subsidized to make up for the high subscription cost, and I might not even want to self-host mail but do want the other services.

Varnish does support SSL officially in their enterprise offering: https://docs.varnish-software.com/varnish-cache-plus/feature...

delightfully devilish!

What do you find bad about WordPress DX in particular?

The Saboteur is one of my favourite games, and I think saying it was released unfinished is a bit of a stretch. I've played through the whole campaign several times and never had any game-breaking glitches on either PC or PS3. I would recommend to pick it up from GOG which has added a few quality of life patches: https://www.gog.com/game/saboteur

Great use case for Svelte! How are you liking it so far?

My guess is that the OP doesn't have hardware acceleration for Firefox on his GPU configuration. You probably don't either with your numbers. I have about 3-4% CPU usage on GitHub.com using Firefox, and my GPU is at about 20% load from the 3D being drawn.

I think they let you encode soundtracks and audio effects from the listed games into other formats such as WAV.

Funny coincidence, I was just playing it last month! It was a bit annoying to get everything running but after consulting the guide over at http://forum.dark-omen.org/help-section/read-me-ultimate-dar... I was able to get a really great HD experience. But I agree with you, it took me probably 30-40 minutes of fiddling!

Where can I find this project? I only manage to find a GUI client for Docker when searching for that name.

It was informal. No doubt it relly helped that we are G-Suite users and adding Google Meet to a calendar event is a one-click operation (although it is possible to add other providers now).

Compared to the ultra clunky WebEx client, buggy web version and no native integration with GCal at the time, it just faded out of existence for us.

The best solution to the toxicity issue of anonymous internet comments I've seen relates to identifying the users. In Sweden there is a country-wide ID system called BankID. You can authenticate towards any website using a mobile app which validates your identity (through your bank).

One of the regional comment platforms has adopted this and requires you to sign in using BankID, thereby confirming your identity.

I don't know if this is solving the problem or if it's just masking it a bit better by introducing a "shame" aspect, but it's working on the sites that I've seen using it.

We use WebEx as our VC of choice where I work. Turns out the only reason people used it was that there was no alternative when using the VC in the office.

When we switched to WFH people dropped WebEx immediately in favor of Google Meet. Now I hear that GMeet will be available in our physical office when we return. One lost customer for Cisco.

It's hard to explain the problem with WebEx other than GMeet (Or Zoom, or really any other platform) just works and feels better.

This kind of elitist rhetoric is really not constructive. Implying somehow that WordPress developers aren't "talented" because they don't use your tech stack is incredibly ignorant.

This is a wild exaggeration, I suggest people read the post in question before parroting on disinformation: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...

So basically abusing how serverless functions are supposed to work by "warming them up". I wouldn't count on this working long-term as cloud vendors will be more aggressive in discouraging this behaviour.

Is this a joke? Do you expect someone to convey a compelling case for a broken prison system in the space of a tweet?
