Just use Cloudflare Workers. Incredibly fast, super cheap and stable and very mature.

And yet here here we all are taking about it. Art is about inciting a response, and he’s done it. Whether we think he’s a hack or not is irrelevant - he has the world’s attention.

And that’s where my hopes vanish. A dictator-wannabe that has a track record of not respecting the peaceful transition of power in _his own_ country and has run his entire campaign on hatred for immigrants and more recently Venezuelans in p

What we’ve been living through in the last 28 years is Chavismo and yet Chavez is not around. When Chavez died in 2013 we celebrated that he was gone, and what we got after was much, _much_ worse. Now Maduro is gone, and we can celebrate it

Venezuelan here. It’s not that simple: Maduro was an _absolutely_ horrible dictator and yes many Venezuelans (myself included, and likely many of the 8+ million that left) are overjoyed with him being ousted, we haven’t seen any change in o

This post follows the general, highly academic/dogmatic, tone that I’ve seen when certain folks talk about REST. Most of the article talks about what _not_ to do, and has very little details on how to actually do it. The idea of having

Anyone can say anything on YouTube. I think you’re confusing confirmation bias with “citing your sources”.

UUIDs are very wasteful [1]. For most use cases you can replace them with much shorter strings and still have very low chances of collisions [2] [1] https://henvic.dev/posts/uuid/ [2] https://alex7kom.g

Just fyi, the person that replied wasn't just "someone" at Cloudflare. It was Kenton Varda (kentonv here). He's the creator of Cloudflare workers, he's an incredible engineer.

If you can run this using ollama, then you should be able to use https://www.continue.dev/ with both IntelliJ and VSCode. Haven’t tried this model yet - but overall this plugin works well.

I've been using co-pilot as well as Claude (Sonnet 3-3.5) and ChatGPT (4-4o) since the beginning of the year with somewhat mixed success. My general take is that, at least so far, the improvement is very much marginal. These tools save

by leourbina 2y ago
I’d take a slightly different perspective. I’d like to think that these tools are in some ways “humanizing” - we can offload things that we’re not particularly good at (like memorization tasks) and instead we can use our capacities to do th

Paperspace is a great way to go for this. You can start by just using their notebook product (similar to Collab), and you get to pick which type of machine/GPU it runs on. Once you have the code you want to run, you can rent machines o

It just needs to be clarified that KL divergence isn’t a proper mathematical norm, so it doesn’t behave the way we intuitively think a distance should. As mentioned, it doesn’t satisfy the triangle inequality, which is a basic property for

by leourbina 3y ago
One intuition is that KL-divergence represents a sort of “distance” between probability distributions. However, this isn’t quite right as it doesn’t satisfy some basic properties a real distance (a norm) would satisfy, including the fact th

Just wanted to say thank you. your content was crucial in getting me to understand network programming and was crucial for my masters thesis. Your content has always been crisp, to the point and accesible. Keep it up!

Redis Streams is a pretty good lightweight replacement for Kafka. Of course, what Kafka gets you are durability, being able to pick among at-least-once, at-most-once and exactly-once delivery of messages, among other things

Cloudflare already does this ( https://www.cloudflare.com/products/cloudflare-stream/ ) I'd be willing to bet that Cloudflare TV is built on top of their Stream infrastructure.

This style of analysis has the implicit assumption that the timeline of confirmed cases is accurate. Despite the infection growing visbly rapidly in NY, it could be argued that increased testing in NY state has been a contributing factor to

Personally I really like https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm . It is simple, and to the point. Using it is straightforward, and it has allowed me to change machines and migrate my dotfiles seamlessly.

I took this class in 2011 when it was still in C++ and as others have said, besides the weekly labs, it had significant amounts of reading, two quizzes and a final exam. This is the probably the class I have learned the most from.
