No offense, you wait. Like everyone's been doing for years in the internet and still do

- When AWS/GCP goes down, how do most handle HA?

- When a database server goes down, how do most handle HA?

- When Cloudflare goes down, how do most handle HA?

The down time here is the server crashed, routing failed or some other issue with the host. You wait.

One may run pingdom or something to alert you.

>They have to be honest about what they can offer for $200

Their expectation must have been a human using the service at a human capacity.

This is different from an automated agent orchestrating a ton of different agents at the same time doing a lot of things.

There is a difference.

Well, an em dash is used in text to identify a pause or alternatives in the text.

..so like a fork in the way it's done, a new way of doing things.

But you need to remove the dev/ai hat in order to go back to writing rules and the real use.

While you have the base rate fallacy, it might also be that people with a bit bigger repos might be paying closer attention.

I disabled all the attribution. I find it noisy and I'm not blaming claude, I'm blaming someone if something is broken.

yeah! I had some things through there early on when I was building sites. I had some custom scripts that could also be triggered by the users.

Interesting. This looks nice. Made me think of webmin which I used... years ago.

Went to look and webmin's changed. Pretty crazy.

The best question is, what's been shipped in the past 60 days with those 600,000 lines.

Lots of people trying things for the sake of it, without really achieving anything with it. Maybe they have 'a setup' but the setup ends up being unproven.

before or after the 90%?

Looks like a private repo, was taken down, or renamed. It's 404'ing.

But this sounds useful!

Everything has issues reading the content of PDFs natively. It's a format for displaying/rendering. Not for storing format in a way that's easy to parse for the text/content inside.

Is this one storing text or storing coordinates for where to draw a line for the letter 'l'? Is that an 'l' or a line?

The best way to do this is rendering it to an image and using the image. Either through models that can directly work with the image or OCR'ing the image.

Create a branch, squash the branch manually when you want and merge things.

or `git reset --soft main` and then deal with the commits

or have 2 .git directories. Just add to the git commit `--git-dir=.git-backups` or whatever you want to name it.

I don't see the source in their tar archive.

it's just the homebrew cask and recipe.

This does not contain the source.

The similarity is to,

> You think you'll get better long-term support from an experiment that a single engineer did in his spare time?

Linus started it as an experiment. That's a single engineer doing it on his spare time.

Do you think Linux doesn't do long-term support right?

The one changing the goal post is you.

https://github.com/cloudflare/vinext It is MIT licensed. It can be used and maintained by anyone.

If it'll get adoption like Linux did, that's different. But the base is there.

By what you're saying, the cost of AI sounds like a good argument.

people are going to complain it wasn't subscription and that it was native.

Honestly, it's a really nice app. Most people don't care about that. My family finds it easy to use and the features are good.

Could I selfhost? Yes.

Would my family find that annoying?, Yes.

Could I use bitwarden? Yes.

My family would be annoyed at me migrating to another alternative if my argument is that I don't want to pay $1/month/year ($12/year).

There's implode() and explode() as well as serialize() and unseralize()

No idea what's used in wordpress, but back in D6 and before, it was common to see it when it would store multiple values for an instance.
