This is exactly the problem that pay-per-use LLM access is causing. It's gating the people who need the information the most and causing a divide between the "haves" and "have nots" but at a much larger potential for dividing us.

Sure for me, $20/mo is fine, in fact, I work on AI systems, so I can mostly just use my employer's keys for stuff. But what about the rest of the world where $20/mo is a huge amount of money? We are going to burn through the environment and the most disenfranchised amongst us will suffer the most for it.

Chris Farley's "Down by the River" skit is my #1 of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv2VIEY9-A8

Because they are using 16 bit unsigned integers?

Just because you do SSG doesn't mean you can't run _any_ javascript. This seems like a lot of work to just put a little JS button on the site.

I deleted Uber after all of this, but You are wrong. I lived in SF during 2010-2012 and calling taxis was a huge pain. I started using Uber when it was only black cars because they showed up. I would call yellow cab and after an hour they didn't even show up, so I called them again and they said "well, if you didn't see a car after 20 mins, you should have called back."

I had another experience in LA in 2014 where I got yelled at by a taxi driver because HIS card reader was broken and my credit card was flat so he couldn't use the old style imprint.

The taxis can suck it. They are unclean, expensive, and have irrational drivers that think they can push around their customers because they know there was no need to improve due to regulation.

While I support Lyft now instead of Uber, the ride sharing business is just the competition the industry needs to shake it's complacency.

We are using DC/OS (Mesos) and found it to be much more feature rich for what our needs were.

I never said it was competing. I said it didn't seem to fit nicely. I run several very large clusters, and we evaluated Flocker and it didn't fit nicely into ecosystem. It felt very "bolted on".

Or maybe the technology wasn't correct for what most people are trying to do with Docker these days. Flocker never felt like it quite fit in the ecosystem along with Mesos, Kubernetes, etc.

Great efforts guys, the tech is cool, but technology will continue to evolve and if you bought into something completely that doesn't fit nicely with the movement, you will get left behind.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes, I was not being sarcastic. The comments about why "pioneers get arrows" in the post made it seem like they had a perfect product, the world was just not ready for it.

Riot Games built their own backbone as well.

I really think that https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/112#issuecommen... is the winner in this thread.

I used to use Ruby for CLIs. Then I started using Golang and delivering compiled binaries for each OS that I supported. This has been a game changer for me. With the CLIs that I've worked on that are open source https://github.com/RiotGamesMinions/motherbrain and some other ones in Ruby, we consistently had issues with rubygems and having people be able to run our CLI from version to version.

Using something like Golang for distributing compiled binaries means that as long as they have the CLI, it will continue to work. With Ruby, Python, PHP, etc, there is absolutely no guarantee that your application will work in the future.

Historically, collaborative design is the best kind of design. Designers love when others go into their files and "fix" their work. /s

We had a similar problem with lag for code reviews, so I wrote a bot to nag the Hipchat (moving to Slack this week) channel and remind people that repos had pending PRs that needed review. This helped quite a bit of getting code reviewed.

Keeping PRs smaller definitely helped as well and now we typically have 3-5 PRs per day go in.

According to his github it's https://www.gearlaunch.com/

Or maybe hacking ;)

So I heard this means it's webscale now?

I believe it's a pun on the "U smart" comment made by one of the VPs.

Yeah, safe and open source are not necessarily synonymous. (see openssl "heartbleed")

A real inside look at it. /s

It reads like someone bitter lost an internet argument when they couldn't bait the employee into saying something incriminating, and they wanted revenge.

Exactly this. This guy baited someone to say something about his employer, posted quotes out of context and with obvious bias. The guy seems like an asshole.

WHERE DO I CLICK ON THE COOKIES??!

hello wowlrd! congrats!

This all sounds like someone replying to them-self.

Edit: 15 comments besides mine, and 15 employees listed on the site. /conspiracy

This is exactly why Docker containers are becoming popular.
