Re:5x faster Edge Functions: V8 isolates to Firecracker MicroVMs on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @06:04PM (#49999402)
Ivan from Netlify here, we should do it! our most recent release for Functions added support for Fetchable (https://docs.netlify.com/build/functions/overview/#web-reque...), we should do this for Edge Functions as well.

Here's a youtube promo video for those of us in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umhPrOo47-A

The link in the post redirects to the Google store that only shows a Chromecast. Oh well.

"o>-<|= for messages of interest to women"

I'm glad we are past that.

Re:Russia bans Reddit on Wednesday August 12, 2015 @03:24PM (#10050037)
Interestingly, the post is 2 years old, has one single comment by the OP. The user didn't have any other contributions to Reddit other than that.

The sub itself was created by the same user two years ago and had no activity.

Yes, even [email protected] works!
Re:Juno: A free environment for the Julia language on Saturday September 27, 2014 @08:28AM (#8376837)
This is great, as it really lowers the barrier of entering Julia.

It also offers a level of exploration (with the in-place results), which is a neat thing for students – I've found that interactive environments generate interesting solutions to otherwise boring problems. I'm currently trying to replace Matlab as the language I use in our university's Probability class and Juno adds to "why use Julia" argument :)

Thanks!

Cool, hopefully it will replace the All Songs Considered audio stream (which is great).

Side note: Is it just me, or this "scroll to reveal stuff in steps" is a bit frustrating? It seems to be used more and more often and I am sometimes puzzled by the fact that I'm missing the scrolling step. I try scrolling and get either too far (which shows half an image coming from above) or don't get anywhere (which makes me scroll more and skip steps). Here's an example: http://www.spendeeapp.com/

Am I doing something wrong?
