I would love for the authors to consider a book on Hyperscript.
I initially dismissed wanting to add another scripting language to an app, but after some experimenting I have used it to replace 100s of lines of JS. Mainly for UI animations.
It’s not for the faint of heart, but enjoyable to learn.
I find the docs difficult to follow and would enjoy another hardback manual to sit next to this book, which is superb.
Smells like the late 90s dot com bubble!
Everyone on the bandwagon.
Put out a landing page with AI on it and ride the hype train.
MS are pouring a lot into this - can they sustain it!
It feels desperate, rushed and ill thought through.
They seem desperate to be ahead and they will frighten people away from the usefulness of ai.
I have a lot of sites on netlify and a number of domains managed under the business tier. It would take a long time to recover if they were nuked in one go.
They really should have guard rails in place for this as well as uncapped usage.
I am a business user with netlify. I have unlimited functions calls on that plan (fair use of course!) and use their JWT protection that redirects to a login site at the cdn level, so you can rate limit. Not a solution for public static sites though! You are metered on the starter and pro plans after the starting limits.
They seem to have dropped that plan now.
I was starting to move back to traditional hosting as these platforms are convenient, but you do lose control and get hammered for their addon services and simple things like static ips are beyond them, even if you offer to pay.
Also, if their cdn is naughty listed, corporate networks may block your site as you are sharing pro and business plans with free sites that maybe serving malware etc.
Hearing this story has pushed me to move.
I hope they sort that for you, they really should have the ability to protect a site and let you choose what to do if you are exceeding your limits.
Yes, but why roll out a capacity bursting feature in the midst of a crisis.
Surely the priority is stability.
The incompetence is unrelenting.
Yes. Usually the service grinds and slows. This was a sudden auth failure - quite strange! You can’t help but think it is more than capacity - or maybe I am getting carried away with the soap opera.
Lots of posts showing ChatGPT going offline. Some showing errors, others failing to log in after the session expires.
He will be ok!
Either a position in Microsoft or a new start-up.
Or both.
What does it mean for OpenAI though? That’s a limb sawn off for sure.
They are in a strange position.
They had an open ethos and then went quasi closed for profit and then a behemoth has betted the family jewels on their products.
Harking on about the dangers of those products does not help the share price!
My money is on a power play at the top tables.
Embrace, extend, and exterminate.
Playbook!
They are betting so much on Open AI just now.
They need to be so much more than a partner.
Being open is not in their nature.
Sadly it is usually the demise of innovation when they get their hook in.
Turn that on it’s head - was he standing in the way of a commercial sale or agreement with Microsoft!
He may not be the villain.
But who knows, it feels like an episode of silicon valley!
What stops you from using TS? It starts with JS and JSDoc as a starting point and then you can add TS.
Small projects maybe fine with JSDocs as a starting point.
Whilst nowhere near as robust as typescript, JSDoc offers a level of type checking through an editor such as vs code or intellj.
