Whipped a simple script to parse html into markdown for past and present policy pages. Not sure why the new one says April 28 but I got an email today for the policy update so I'm assuming it's for May 28.

Speaking of classic WoW... found this gem recently where a guy talks about his experience playing classic in 2026 without any nostalgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjQgoaagS-E TLDR classic is pretty damn good!

Hm the pricing increase stresses me out out less than the server shortages. My impulse reaction is to buy a few cheap cloud VPS instances even though I don't need them right now... Anyone have any wisdom to encourage/discourage th

50-100 PRs a week to me is insane. I'm a little skeptical and wonder how large/impactful they are. I use AI a lot and have seen significant productivity gains but not at that level lol.

Yeah everything you said resonates, thanks for your input. Your last paragraph is interesting though, in what way do you think mobile dev is going to change?

Whoa did not expect the CEO of Cloudflare to comment here! Thanks for the response. The extended periods of high latency was concerning, but I did some more digging and saw that your team is aware of this and working on it: https:/&#x

Thanks for the response. After doing some more digging it looks like this is a known issue at Cloudflare and they're actively working on it: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1409539854747963523

Side-quest productivity is a great way to put it... It does feel like AI effectively enables the opposite of "death by a thousand cuts" (life by a thousand bandaids?)

For forking and changing a few things here and there, I could see how there might be less of a need for LLMs, especially if you know what you're doing. But in my case I didn't actually fork `ts-rest`, I built a much smaller custom

nvm I'm dumb lol, `ts-rest` does support express v5: https://github.com/ts-rest/ts-rest/pull/786 . Don't listen to my misinformation above!! I would say this oversight was a blessing in disguise thou

Big thanks to everyone who commented so far, I wasn't able to reply to everyone (busy trying to fix the issue!) but grateful for everyone's insights. I ended up figuring out a fix but it's a little embarrassing... Optimizing

I'm somewhat buffering right now - Everytime the current turn player types I buffer their input on the backend, and I have a job setup that broadcasts typing events every ~200ms using this buffer. I could increase this interval, but I&

Ahhhh I see what you mean now. You just gave me some good ideas. Alas because of the nature of my game, it will always have first person shooter esque networking problems despite it being turn-based. But it's good to know that I'm

Yeah changing the sysctl options was a shot in the dark... I really hope it's my app code. But the fact that the same bottleneck occurs even when I add more containers which decreases the load per container confuses me. I mentioned thi

by hnroo99 1y ago
Good point. I actually don't know what performance looks like with 500 real users. The way I'm mocking right now is by running a script on my local machine that generates 500+ bots that listens to events to auto join + play games.

So when running `top` WCHAN shows `ep_poll` most of the time and sometimes `-`. Even when the game starts lagging this pattern stays pretty consistent. There is no cross-room communication. I could spawn a process per room but I was trying

by hnroo99 1y ago
Yep just triple checked. If distributing the load on a single server by adding more backend containers doesn't decrease ping then maybe this is just the natural upper bound for my particular game... The only shared bottleneck between a

by hnroo99 1y ago
I thought this might've been the issue too, but because the game is turn-based there should only ever be 1 person typing at once (in a given room).

Interesting, what was bad about your Redis experience on Coolify? I was just about to do the same for a personal project.
