For example, some rouge user starts posting offensive content about other users, on the brink of breaking the law. Let’s say these other users will mention it to labellers, who this time will refuse to take this content down.
Can you tell me what will happen in such scenario?
But if what you say is actually true - 1% for each $50 billion dollar increment in valuation + no salary and no compensation if stock doesn't increase - than this changes the whole thing. It's like no brainer decision for the founders and other stakeholders to allow Elon running this thing.
Folks at makepad poured enormous effort in keeping dependency graph minimal.
However they are obsessed about performance. They reason for such speedy compile times is that makepad almost has no dependencies.
There is a great presentation from their recent conference [1]. I am asking this because I find it quite similar to what you are doing - decoupling storage from compute and utilising S3. I really appreciate if you could share your insights.

From my understanding core developer is somebody who works on something fundamental, like build system, general monorepo structure and architecture.
I would be curious to hear insights if anyone has understanding or experience in these roles.
Few questions come to mind. Firstly, is Quickwit compatible with any S3 compatible object storage, such as Cloudflare's R2? Are there particular considerations to keep in mind for this kind of setup? Secondly, do you see Quicwit being used for analytics, such as tracking daily visits or analyzing user retention?
Your insights on these would be greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend going through their youtube channel and take a look at some of the others. Truly amazing work.
ECS, OOP, functional programming, and others serve as methods to organize software — the developer interface. However that role should belong to IDEs — an actual user interface for developers.
Everybody has different hierarchy of their software, esentially developing their own software engine which sucks, because doing it right is extremely hard and time consuming.
What Steve Jobs told long time ago is still true today, "Paradoxically, we need more sophisticated software to make it more easy for the user" (paraphrasing). This is what we need - trully general software engine with IDE made right, what will unify organization of all sofotware and beyond.
For some deeper insights, in the context of the Web, I suggest reading Graydon Hoare's post [1].
The right solution is a library like this with proper cross-platform abstraction. Then you can simply compile css-in-js to stylesheets to have caching, therefore fully utilizing platforms capabilities.
Who cares whether css is written in css files or js files or whatever. Abstraction + solid tooling (compilation) + ide support is the way.
For example another company could run google search on example.com and give let's say percentage of that revenue back to Google?
Just let yourself think about what his counterparts in US were saying. That Russia would collapse and Putin's oppresionist government is going to be overthrown by protestors? Don't you see that what we get is Putin's approval rating a historic high?
And nobody in US wants to be seen as "weak on Russia".
Only now there is more people who start saying clearly that the war is not going to stop, it is going to last number of years, and impratant bit, Ukraine is going to be completely destroyed in the process. And what Ukrainian people are going to get in return? EU membership? Western valus? Freedom?
Once you get this, the whole narrative people like Chomsky are proposing, that in 2004 this, in 2008 that, can be seen in a new light. You can read "The Art of Diplomacy" by Francois de Callieres, about 17th century european politics, which is talking about how to do international relations. Really helpful to see that this situation in Ukraine is not new - in other words, what is happening now could be forseen before the war broke out.
ps. I know quite a few Ukrainians very well who escaped the war, many from the demolished easter cities. And it didn't even cross my mind to tell them that I oppose anything Ukraine is doing atm.
Also, highly recommend "The Last Of The Just" by André Schwarz-Bart. It is soo good that there is nothing else for me to say than to just read it. I've read it once Chomsky stated in one of his interviews that it was one of the best (if not best) books written on Jewish history.
I started having incredible tooth ache, so I found dentist clinic and went there. I had no insurance or anything.
After being quite impressed with the facility, the dentist came and started testing my teeth at the back. He was putting small swab with cold water, but he didn't find it. He told me that there should be root canal, and that I should look for a good dentist to do it for me. I was going to New York on my way back to Poland, and he mentioned that New York have best dentists and that root canal can cost around $2000 there.
It would be cheaper for me to fly back Poland, have a root canal done there and back btw.
Eventually he prescribed me antybiotic which helped. I payed $150 for the visit (down from $250 because I was foreigner I guess?).
Long story short after 2 weeks I went to the dentist in Poland. He did the same thing with cold swab, but this time he touched on the side which I immediately noticed. Dentist in the US touched only from the top, he didn't even bother to touch on the side.
It was root canal indeed and was fixed in 1 visit for $200.
[1] example list of clouds https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/plans
Let's say the requirement is to build a platform like Twitter with 100mln daily active users. Wouldn't cloud like Hetzner with AWS/GCP/Azure failover, survive this?
I worked with AWS as a developer for a long time, but in pretty much ever case 10 was more than enough.
Would be very grateful if someone could share some insight into it!
Same with Google
I don't want to manage Cargo.toml or requirements.txt or pyproject.toml or package.json or whatever. It's all the same stuff - just a dag of dependencies, each has it's own type and output and build pipeline and defaults and env vars etc.
Bazem, from what I've heard, is the best. Maybe that is the reason for the lack of adoption - it's very good but not good enough?
PS. I never used Bazel
ps.
ChatGPT: "You should only share information that you are comfortable with being stored or potentially used as training data."On latest conference their CEO said it's all about serverless and virtualization. Having kubernetes doing all the work [1] - "we are doing it automatically for you with our management which is based on using multi-tenant kuebrentes deployment". Even more surprising is that instead of using NVMEs they want to use s3 for backend storage and NVME is only cache [2] :o I am not database expert, but this is very interesting.
