> I believe the poster was referring to requests from the client to the server having to traverse the HTTP stack, not data coming down from the server via the SSE stream. Ah that's probably correct, I mis-read.

Sure, but SSE connections in the browser - the typical use case - are persistent, so there shouldn't be frequent re-connecting. Unlike WebSockets, browser SSE also has a built-in recovery mechanism so you don't miss events across

A while ago, I noticed some very small oscillations in my Cloudflare R2 bill (1-2 cents / month) and decided to ask about it out of curiosity. Support was tepid - understandable for my $1 / month account - and it wasn't until

Depending on the error, the grammar, and the parser, it may not be possible to close the function body. Most compilation units are file-based for this reason.

That leads to the cross-device usability issues from the original post. Even for an experienced engineer, it's a headache to manage multiple devices across multiple sites. With the "cloud password manager" angle there is some

I thought the same, too. Generally some small amount of inflation is preferable to encourage spending, rather than deflation which discourages it. If you know a $100 item will probably cost $102 later then you're more likely to buy it

Which translations would you recommend for Crime and Punishment or Dostoyevsky in general? When I'm starting to read a non-English novel, the process of deciding which translation to use is half the fun. The Kent and Berbera (revised G

Agreed it's a bummer. There's a lot of low-density sprawl in San Diego county which makes effective transit difficult, and because you have to drive everywhere, sentiment trends anti-bicycle. The previous CEO of SANDAG tried to pu

The accepted norm is, increasingly, full disk access, regardless of how bad of an idea it is. At a minimum, agents typically will have a way of obtaining new access tokens. Refresh tokens don't solve anything in this case; they just sh

With SQLite, you're basically funneled towards a single-writer / single-process design anyway ... in which case why not use a more traditional condvar + mutex rather than polling?

This is where curation matters, eg in a newsroom or gallery. Provenance is their job, and if done well, can connect people in a way that an unfiltered social media firehose can't.

The way I always think about it is in terms of scope. With: let x = v in expr `x` is now available for use in `expr` In essence, an OCaml program is a giant recursive expression, because `expr` can have its own set of let definitions

Yes, this exactly - I wouldn't call it nitpicky, it is really buried in there. I understand Cloudflare has a ton of other products and features, but the discoverability for CF Tunnels really could be better. Just checked and it's:

Uber is blatantly abusing push notifications for marketing, it is so bad ... for smaller apps this would be an App Store ToS violation and grounds for removal. The double standard with larger apps is very upsetting.

Charge it up to 80% in the firmware but show 100% in the UI. Wear leveling algorithms probably do something similar already.
