I have fond memories of scripting for mIRC, it was one of my first dev languages, together with clipper and delphi/pascal.

I think what he meant is that the wildcard is not supported in the origin itself, for instance: https://*.somedomain.com.

per documentation, it's either "*" or "https://subdomain.somedomain.com"

why 443? are you assuming ssl here? serious question, I'm not sure. But if it is, wouldn't it be hard to disregard the weight of SSL in the metric?

which LLM are you using for those frontend usecases? chatgpt? and you ask in prompts for some framework such as tailwind?
Thanks for the memories. Good old times I was programming in SuperWaba for palmOS!

if they were obfuscated the urls the app itself would need to process it to un-obfuscate, then the performance would take a hit, but I get your point. It's just the wrong service to host this.

PS: could not check the link, as my country blocked twitter.

Re:Nvd.nist.gov cert expired yesterday and uses HSTS on Monday September 02, 2024 @10:47AM (#41425782)
for chrome users, to bypass this: just type "thisisunsafe" while focused on the error page. not very helpful in this scenario, but for other HSTS issues it might be! 2c
I think this concept you mentioned would be called sharding? It's kinda required for apache Kafka and others.
1. Download PDF from publisher. 2. Open it in your PDF viewer. 3. Press print. 4. Physically print the document. 5. Re-scan the printed PDF pages. --->6. Run OCR to rebuild the document 7. profit!

7. Compress the PDFs (ghostscript).

it's not funny when you compare "profits over other's knowledge" to "share knowledge without profits", it doesn't make sense at all. potatoes and oranges
hence the "predict", not "infer"

but never forget that AWS uses us-east-1 to host core services that, when they go down, they take almost the whole thing down, no matter which region.
Re:How to Build a Minimum Lovable Product on Sunday March 27, 2022 @08:45PM (#30825734)
What you don't consider about the MVP is that you can release early/release often and then re-evaluate and improve upon it based on data, not your mind or guesses.

Taking 18 months to release it might cause you to waste a lot of valuable time with features/requirements that does not deliver any real value to your customer, and the competitors can gain this space delivering a much less complete product, with less quality, but with the right features because of MVP concepts.

Not teasing in any way, but just 2 cents to consider, as I see a LOT of issues with the MVP approach.
