galactus··on The Experience of Deploying Next.js Apps on Cloudflare
I love cloudflare pages, but it is certainly not perfect. For me, the weakest point about cloudflare pages is logging. One would expect some minimum support for out of the box searchable logs, but there is none.
galactus··on Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts
As american as Barak Obama, right?
galactus··on Tesla halts production at German factory after attack claimed by far-left group
The semiconductor industry is an interesting example because even if the transistor was invented by Bell labs, it all comes from wartime technology, obviously very heavily publicly subsidized. And actually, it was only profitable for the first 10 years becuse they had military applications so they had the gouvernment as client…

Science and technology lifted them from poverty, not capitalism. The state in those countries played a huge role
galactus··on Tesla halts production at German factory after attack claimed by far-left group
The funny part of people who have lived in ex-communist countries is that when they think capitalism they only think US and western Europe and not all that part of the rest of the world that has been fully integrated into global capitalism for quite a long time and is still very poor because they are in the _wrong_ side of capitalism, the part that is there only to function as providers of natural resources. The part that has been historically kept in that place (often violently) by the countries that people that come from ex-communist countries admire so much
galactus··on Okta lays off 400 employees – almost a year after last staff cuts
But I does sound like a lot of people for something like Okta. I think any comment explaining why it isn't would be interesting.
galactus··on A Node, TypeScript, TS-Node and ESM experience that works
So much this.
galactus··on *@gmail.com
I have exactly the same problem, and it has made my gmail account almost unusable. I have at least 150 unwanted emails per day (80% of them get caught by the spam filter)
galactus··on My frugal indie dev startup stack (2022)
What history of security problems?
galactus··on An annual physical exam costs $400 USD on average in the USA
Sure, but still, the difference between BC and Washington state (~2 years higher in BC) is greater than the difference between Washington state and Texas.
galactus··on An annual physical exam costs $400 USD on average in the USA
And yet we have a quite higher life expectancy than the US

galactus··on Pixelfed Introduces Import from Instagram
At this point there is enough people on Mastodon for me to stay there without caring if its “the next big” or not.
galactus··on Connect() – a new API for creating TCP sockets from Cloudflare Workers
I.m guessing they must be doing something like that with their D1 offer
galactus··on Connect() – a new API for creating TCP sockets from Cloudflare Workers
Concerning the use of this for regular DB connections.. isn't there a bit of a conflict between edge computing, which runs close to the user, and using a regular centralized DB, which resides in a fixed region?
galactus··on Google DeepMind
Because of course Xerox PARC, which literally invented the GUI, desktop computer, the mouse, freaking Ethernet, etc executed the commercialization of all their innovation flawlessly....
galactus··on Iran discovers world’s second largest lithium reserve
I think the target of the jokes is the hypocrisy of the ghouls behind those wars, who insist they are about freedom and democracy. No one is laughing at the suffering of the victims.
galactus··on The Google layoffs are about personal ambition and poor leadership
If you go to the other extreme no one but the richest person on earth is priviledged.

Come on, making 300k a year or more is privilege even within the context of US white collar jobs.

galactus··on Make believe
You explained it better than I did, thanks
galactus··on Make believe
“ Same with philosophies, nationalities, norms, and concepts like loyalty, destiny, and identity. None of these are true. But they are useful.”

His use of the word ‘useful’ implies he classifies things as ‘useful’ and ‘useless’ according to some absolute value system that he considers evidently true but that in reality is no more or less valid that those things he lists as merely useful.

galactus··on Pico8 Music Synthesizer
Johan Peitz is an amazing creator.
galactus··on Argentina Wins the World Cup
I’m also happy for Argentina, but I didn’t find Mbappe’s words any offensive. It is true that european teams are generally stronger.
galactus··on Ask HN: What is your cloud strategy vis-à-vis Google Cloud?
GCP is too big to fail
galactus··on Blocking Kiwifarms
Ok, so Cloudflare should provide services forever to a platform that people use to insult trans activist and publish their addresses because you read “kill all men” in a stupid tweet…
galactus··on Blocking Kiwifarms
As far as I understand, the people on kiwifarms _also_ try to get their targets fired by enailing their employees and claiming their targets are pedophiles or something like that.
galactus··on Blocking Kiwifarms
No one has ever ever felt threatened by a tweet calling for the death of all men, come on.
galactus··on Map showing birthplaces of "notable people" around the world
Jean Paul Sartre was colombian? what? :D
galactus··on As TikTok grows, so does suspicion
The extent at which so many americans are absolutely convinced they are “the good guys” of the world is simply amazing. A real testimony of the power of american propaganda.
galactus··on As TikTok grows, so does suspicion
You have to understand that, for the rest of the world, seeing the US act is if invading another country was the worst thing anyone could do is highly hopocritical
galactus··on As TikTok grows, so does suspicion
“ First of all average people's opinions outside of western democracies are meaningless because those people don't have access to education or information to form any real opinions.”

This is insane. Your arrogance and total ignorance about the rest of the world is just crazy.
