I like how OpenAI API price model work, you pay X amount then use the service until you run out of the charged amount then you can charge it again.

Actually it is how Telecom companies price model worked since decades, and probably the most fairly model, you are not charged while not using the service and the service provider get paid up front instead of at the end of the month

disconnect any external monitors.

Sounds silly but I found out that my macbook pro 2020 when wakes up from sleep with external monitor connected it will have no internet or very slow connection, until I unplug the monitor and replug it again

Frontend is inherently complex and becoming more complex because we build more dynamic web apps. PM and designers don't know what works and keep changing the product until they get something acceptable, which will also mean much more moving parts for developers until the product matures.

The complexity will stay and get bigger, we need to a way to control it and be able handle it.

The first step is to abstract frontend development (be it web, mobile, desktop or even VR) into concepts then introduce a system to build apps with these concepts.

Re:How to make Linux run fast again on Intel CPUs on Sunday October 13, 2019 @10:16AM (#21240461)
Its just a few numbers.. actually the test should be run multiple times and take median.

Oh and I ran it more times and it ranged from 2500 to 2900 for multicore score.

I tried this and run Geekbench 5.0.2

here are the results:

mitigations on score: 980 Single-Core Score 2008 Multi-Core Score

mitigations off score: 976 Single-Core Score 2741 Multi-Core Score

Re:Show HN: Whapp-irc – A simple WhatsApp IRC gateway on Sunday January 13, 2019 @02:04PM (#18898105)
My solution was to run WhatsApp in emulator and enable adb over tcp and send adb commands from server directly to emulator. I automate sending messages and pdf files from our erp system. and for receiving messages we just have a Whatsapp web available for one of our employee so he can reply and escalate whatever.
Let's add Google Play Console to the list, I spent a whole day trying to figure out how to publish a beta version.
Also the bug introduced in 0.55.3 where deleting from TextInput a few times make it very slow.. To fix it I have to upgrade to higher version which drops support for iOS 8 !!

Can you list some of these ?
from browser ? No. from non-browser clients like curl ? Yes. And your server will never be able to tell if it is fake or not
