I'm glad this happened, although I would have prefered if the result came from a new law eg. the Open App Markets Act rather than have to rely on what is or is not legally considered a market in terms of the sherman act etc.

I vaguely remember reading comments here that said you can get rate limited on R2 without warning if egress is too high. Was that true and is that still true? What is the limit if so?

I tried looking for that thread again and I only found the exact opposite comment from the Cloudflare founder:

>Not abuse. Thanks for being a customer. Bandwidth at scale is effectively free.[0]

I distinctly remember such a thread though.

Edit: I did find these but neither are what I remember:

It's temporal anti-aliasing.

>reviewers apparently approved that.

What reviewers?

That makes sense. So it can work for small functions but not an entire codebase which is the goal. Does that sound correct? If so, is it useful for small functions (like, let's say I identify some sections of code I think are important becuase they modify some memory location) or is this not useful?

>And AI--especially LLMs--are notoriously bad at the "correct" part of translation.

Can't you just compare the compiled binaries to see if they are the same? Is the issue that you don't have the full toolchain so there are different outputs from the two compilers? Thinking about it though you could probably figure out which compiler was used using those same differences though..

I suggest putting the link to the website in the about section on github. Currently it reads "No description, website or topics provided." Saves users from scrolling a bit.

Interesting. Could you give a brief description of how you got that number? Eg. what factors were considered.

Can I upload my web server as a docker to Lambda and have it run forever there? I though Lambdas were supposed to be more short lived (like a couple hours), is that not the case? It's been a while since I actually looked at Lambda because GCP run is so clean.

Google cloud run and Azure container apps both let you run an arbitrary docker image without having to deal with custom setups. Both scale automatically so they are serverless. AWS has apprunner but it doesn't scale to zero.[0]

>Something I’m still having trouble believing is that complex workflows are going to move to e.g. AWS Lambda rather than stateless containers orchestrated by e.g. Amazon EKS. I think 0-1 it makes sense, but operating/scaling efficiently seems hard. […]

This isn't really saying anything about serverless though. The issue here is not with serverless but that Lambda wants you to break up your server into multiple smaller functions. Google cloud run[0] let's you simply upload a Dockerfile and it will run it for you and deal with scalling (including scaling to zero).

Sure, but GP's claim was that the statement "Notably the Steam Machines didn't have any equivalent to Proton" is false.

>A large chunk of the Steam library worked perfectly fine on Linux before Proton.

Source? My recollection was that it didn't. Wine had awful direct x translation, I'm not sure if it could do dx11 at all when the steam machine came out. DXVK is a proton project and without it few games could actually run at all.

The issue is they would need to get rid of xbox live and allow installing apps outside their store. PC gamers will not accept having to pay for online and many play games that are not in the xbox store: all valve games, indie games, mods etc.

Seems like a verry brittle setup. Since it adds adblock by default all this will do is make youtube crack down on adblock even more.

>it would take far longer to unpack them than it took you to type them

Why is this a barometer for whether to answer a question or unpack assumptions?

I was just thinking a few days ago that it is surprising flappy bird didn't get invented much earlier. In terms of complexity it seems to be somewhere between pong and Asteroids. Games like Pac-Man and steet fighter are much more complex. Yet flappy bird came out in 2013. Wikipedia puts "Helicopter Game"[0] from 2003 as the first game with flappy bird's game mechanic.[1] That still seems a bit late to me. Am I missing something?

"Important" could be in different ways than just "moral importance." Most previous medecine just helps people recover from illness. This drug may have important social consequences. It could be something like birth control pills.

>Flutter two finger scroll "bug" is gone.

Why is "bug" in scare quotes here? It was most definitely a bug.

>I wouldn't say its unlikely they carried a patch for it, I just wrote a framework patch that I apply at build time in CI and locally.

The actual fix was pretty involved. I doubt a large company like Bytedance would want to carry around extra patches at the gesture level that make the dev cycle more difficult. Having one person carry a patch on their local machine is a different story.

Anyway, the Bytedance blogpost says only 200 devs are using Flutter which would make no sense if it was used in Douyin, and LibChecker[0] returns no results for libflutter.so.

I just tested Douyin 23.5 from 2022[0] and it does not have the two finger scroll bug.[1] It is of course possible they were carrying their own patch for it all this time but that seems unlikely. I doubt they are using Flutter or if they did it must have been a long time ago.

[1] https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/11884 - click on the search button in Douyin on the main page and search for something to get to a regular ScrollView. You don't need an account for this.

Do you have a source for that claim? I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. Bytedance has said they use Flutter but for other projects.[0] Douyin is not mentioned anywhere.

>But, sadly, trying to work with the Flutter team delivers a different reality. While some developers have had success working with the Flutter team, many other developers have found it frustrating, if not unworkable.

I'd love to see some examples. I've had my pull request merged in a fairly quick amount of time - less than one release cycle, which is what matters here.

Also frankly, nobody forking Flutter will be nearly skilled enough to work on the Flutter engine (Impeller). So it's hard to take this announcement seriously.

That sounds like it could be an intiresting metric. Worth noting that there is a difference between an algorithmic "best of n" selection (via eg. an FID score) vs. manual cherry picking which takes more factors into account such as user preference and also takes time to evaluate, which is what GP was suggesting.

One of the worst things about LaTeX is its reliance on packages to do anything useful. In fact, LaTeX is itself essentially just a set of packages for Tex. I hope whatever replaces LaTeX finds a solution that covers as many usecases as possible without needing any packages.

>Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

>I used to work on it, or at least tried to before giving up in frustration.

Out of interest, what blockers did you encounter using Flutter? For me it was much better than native android in terms of development, but it could depend on the usecase.

>I'd love to see a way to build a Flutter app without Gradle.

You generally don't need to touch gradle at all with flutter. Is your issue about having to install gradle onto your machine, even if you don't use it directly?
