I mean, isn't that all counter-intelligence? They wouldn't want to be seen?

Wow ok fair enough. Sorry to put you through a fire drill but I wanted to see if there would be support or not.

I stand corrected, there is. Wishing you the best of luck here.

I just deployed this to production to replace our self-hosted Postgres - and we’re experiencing corruption. Can you help us out?

Wow does it feel good to read human prose again. It just feels so - refreshing. Like cold water in a desert

I get that but it’s much less secure. ie. If an agent finds a bug in V8 it’s over

Bingo. Double points if the infra surrounding this costs more than a maxed out MBP a month in spend

Mmm so application-level sandboxing. Lovely.

And I’m assuming your worker runtime is a process in a container on a shared node? What happens if the agent exploits your runtime?

Does it get access to the whole container? VM? Node?

Why should I ever choose this over MicroVMs? I have to design my architecture around your JS runtime. This isn’t an OS.

I thought this too. Apparently there’s open cooling systems as well that are more efficient

Man, if only I wasn't so burnt out. I've still been day-dreaming about architecture and design for my side-projects. I haven't had a chance to sit down and get into the flow state like I used to.

Wow is this true? Hopefully I don’t come across this way. I’m a huge Kotlin fan but strongly dislike Java for its verbosity.

Is hating on Java really a dog whistle like you say?

inb4 "we're updating our Terms of Service - all Cloudflare-based scrapers will now automatically be enrolled to scrape your cached websites"

and they'll explain how it's great because it's only reading the cached versions, not hitting upstream.

Possibly the worst choice they could have ever made. I have no faith in Xbox’s technical ability anymore.

i always hear this argument. and then those that proclaim it get stuck for a sprint trying to fit a square peg in a round hole

and then i get a ticket a month later because the customer reported the feature isn't working. all while they proclaim how much they care about the customer.

i'm not just talking about one person. i feel as if there's an archetype of programmer that thinks like this.

Nothing about the CPU architecture itself requires that. They can run a standard UEFI/ACPI stack.

I get that. But it's a platform that is so similar to existing Linux on ARM offerings.

All the subsystems to run a laptop should already be there, no?
