Not my project, but I found it an interesting use of servo.

When I wanted to try and design a printable static site, I stumbled over the fact that it's not possible to do automatic page numbers (including total page count) with CSS. Settled on using https://pagedjs.org/

At risk of scope creep, the greatest selling point Netlify has for me is automatic form email support for static sites. Would be awesome if pico.sh supported that.

New comment by 0xcoffee in "BYD to offer Tesla-like self-driving tech in all models for free"

0xcoffee — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:03:43 +0000

>BYD has deployed three different versions of the “God’s Eye” ADAS across its line-up. All three offer automated parking and lane-keeping features, with the basic version – available on models costing up to 219,800 yuan ($30,078.69) – enabling autonomous driving on highways. The driver must keep their hands on the wheel and take control when necessary.

>Two higher-end versions will be installed on more expensive BYD-branded cars and its premium Denza and Yangwang brands. These will enable a car to drive autonomously — though also under human supervision — in more complex urban traffic.

The base version is self driving as in lane assist. It will not change lanes for you or 'self drive' to your destination.

I agree with BYD that these are great safety features and give them props for not gating safety behind a paywall.

fyi GitHub bill in minutes, and rounds up. So if you use 1 minute and 1 second, you get billed for 2 minutes. This is applied at job level, so it quickly gets out of control if you use matrix builds.

Is the price cheaper than x64 instances?

For 'large' instances, ARM64 is cheaper: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-your...

So what about regular instances?

I only buy second hand laptops for myself, but I think the power/efficiency gains of modern cpu's should not be overlooked. The average person doesn't need a strong cpu, but the laptop should not burn their lap or run out of battery while they browse facebook.

I find it interesting that the X2 chip they are using as Tofino's successor, made by Xsight. One of the investors of Xsight is Intel Capital. So seems Intel had a hedge against themselves.

The C# version will copy the list into an array during Task.WhenAll, it may save some memory to use an array directly.
