People claiming Andrew Kelley's remarks in this thread can't possibly be personal attacks surprise and sadden me. If someone insults your ability to do your job, paints you as an opportunistic sellout, and thanks the…
Helping a mega-corporation make an extra buck is not "service to society". If you meant doing a service job at a small business, where you can have real ownership over how it treats its customers, I would agree with you.
One benefit is that this can run in serverless / sandboxed containers where OS primitives are not exposed or heavily limited. I immediately thought of Cloudflare Workers, which runs on V8 and exposes WASM-only…
How does one measure unique users here in a way different from classic p99? I usually associate p99 with an SLO of some kind, and each request as a "unique user" for the service, so at first it seems like the same thing…
I'm from India too. It's disingenuous to say things like "Bangladeshi Muslims are not desired" and not mention the massive backlash the Citizenship Amendment Act received. It's almost as if people recognize arbitrary…
The effort here is laudable, and this is cool! But your real competition isn't regexes, but parser combinator libraries. For cases where readability and matching matter, parser combinators are the go to. It's a bit…
I asked Kenton Varda (the creator) this one after discovering all its cool capabilities, and it seems like promoting it just hasn't been a focus. It is heavily used at Cloudflare, though, and is the basis for a lot of…
First off, my heart goes out to you. Thinking that you chose to be a bystander must have cut really core to your sense of identity. It's been difficult to reconcile being a good person and choosing to do nothing for…
You're thinking of probabilistic systems at run time. People are talking about probabilistic systems at compile time. Whatever gets generated, if it passes tests and is observably in compliance with the spec, is…
Before the outage, Cloudflare had Cloudbleed: https://blog.cloudflare.com/incident-report-on-memory-leak-c... The move to Rust was partly motivated because it prevented that entire class of errors. No more out-of-bound…
I find the contrast between two narratives around technology use so fascinating: 1. We advocate automation because people like Brenda are error-prone and machines are perfect. 2. We disavow AI because people like Brenda…
Piece of UX feedback for the product team behind Updog: company logos are not searchable. It should be easy to Ctrl-F and find a relevant cloud on that detector, instead of scrolling alphabetically.
The Hindustan Times is widely known in India, and is considered reliable as a source of information. I wasn't sure which thumbnails you were referring to on a quick perusal of their YT channel, but my mind instantly…
Having met Casey Handmer personally, I'm confident the last thing he could be accused of is being anti-science. The man knows quite a bit about his domain of expertise!
I'll also point out that it's actually harder for entry-level foreign workers (read: international students) to get jobs in general. F1 visa students are limited to one year of OPT, unless they have a STEM degree, in…
That's not an apples to apples comparison. You don't know if the foreign workers were senior-level employees, for example, or whether there were specialized requirements they might have been hired against that…
(Not Peter, not a lawyer) It is hard not to be moderately worried, since the administration has already made concrete attacks on citizenship pathways, immigrants and legal residents. Most notably, it's targeted…

Joe will be fine. Cloudflare is pretty good at differentiating humans from bot traffic - see how we do it here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/ The idea behind the headers is to allow bots to bypass…
The blog post covers this. The announcement also drops relying on spoofable user agents for crawler identification and requires crawlers to voluntarily identify themselves via RFC 9421 cryptographic message signatures…
