"your call can be recorded for training purposes"

you must be going to some different hn site.

overall i find it balanced. certain topics will draw certain vocal crowd more and then it will look unbalanced.

on the other hand it's really funny to see "modern development practices and patterns" mentioned in a topic about WP.

are you sir one of them expert technologists from tok tik?

i agree that WP is a cautionary tale but one thing they got really well: never do a rewrite from scratch while being the top dog. it must have been hard to resist that siren song and now we'll have WP till the heat death of the universe.

.htaccess is self inflicted pain, no need to downvote :)

the doom community would like a word with you outside :)

(and the whole gog crowd, me included as well)

Having recently been in contact with MyHouse.wad, I have to agree.

That map sent me in a rabbit hole of Doom modding that I simply was not even aware that existed and was active.

I don't know what a gog crowd is but it sounds intimidating :)

goold old games, gog.com

> Pretending “restaurant quality” is anything besides twice as much butter and salt as you’d dare use at home.

until you read Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and start watching the epicurious yt channel.

the "4 levels" and "pro chef vs home cook" epicurious playlists are amazing eye openers, where they exactly highlight the actual difference in skills and knowledge.

but sure, anyone can cook well, even a rat.

mr knuth has dedicated his life's work to mathematical correctness down to the typographic level of the books he wrote.

last i heard he was not much into hallucinations...

what he wrote i read as a huge praise for the field.

a valid strategy for sure.

otoh i hope to be burried with my m1 airbook (for home use) -- i hope never to buy another notebook class device, and just keep replacing the battery every 5 yrs.

It's an amazing machine, to be sure (I'm typing to you from one), but it's going to be so far behind in another 5-10 years. Its 8-16 GiB of RAM is already dwarfed by the 64 GiB options that Apple is selling today and the M1's speed just isn't going to be competitive to keep up with apps' demands in 2033. I do really like mine though. There's an X61 Thinkpad I felt the same way about that I still miss. Hm maybe I should dig that out of storage.

it's really not hard to get a huge CF bill. just turn on the bot detection. i have seen monthly bills that could pay a developer's monthly salary.

Yes there’s products on CF that cost a lot of money. Like Argo. So… just don’t use that kind of product? All prices are clear. We are discussing the “free” CDN services. You will never get a random bill for that.

> All prices are clear.

except the free tier? isn't that what people writing here about? never knowing when the free ride ends? up until now even the content type was not clear...

I've never used CF for anything. is there a way to say "If my bill goes above $X just cut me off and send me an email" ?

as other comments mentioned, CF is more like a "hey we noticed ..." kind of company and dont go around raising bills willy nilly, very different from AWS, etc.

There’s is a billing notification system but will not cut the service.

1blocker can do that for now.

it's a nice font but the'r' is pulling my eyes to the floor :D

fira mono forever! :p
