eh, you're cool, don't worry about the naysayers

While yea it is nice to directly deliver to HTML (I've done it many times), reality is most UI is in other framework languages. Plus I think a strong use-case is making output / browsing inside UI AI interfaces, which are also likely in a framework.

You provided enough for others who really care to add a direct-to-HTML plugin/fork if they so choose. Many of us want to use frameworks.


While I like solar & wind, when oil is drilled, natural gas is often burned off at the drill site. So if it is going to be burned, might as well make electrify from it.

"World Bank is urging energy firms to gather the gas and sell it to businesses and consumers.... Companies can use the gas in mobile electricity generating stations, to power their oil drilling sites, or as a fuel in petrochemical plants."

As long as it is fossil gas that would've otherwise been flared or not captured at all, I strongly agree.


They didn't have to ask for special new breaks; the breaks were already passed:

Thank you looks like they did get millions a year in no sales or use tax on data center equipment. Nothing compared to what NFL teams con out of cities for stadiums.


I would guess the 20 year 'tax break' (AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill) is the real reason for the building. shell game

Meta built a data center in North Kansas City. I'm not sure details of their break (Mayor loves to hand out money), but power is likely cheaper, & def much greener (1/3 from wind farms in Western Kansas state last I checked).

"take advantage of a new Louisiana incentive program, established by Act 730, that offers qualifying projects a state and local sales and use tax rebate on the purchase or lease of data center equipment"

> AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill

Curious as to how you reached this conclusion. No taxpayer funds are going towards construction or operation of the data center. The lack of tax revenue from Meta is nothing spent, and they're still going to be paying into the local economy. The energy infrastructure is going to be built by Entergy, who've projected it to cost customers ~$1 more or less per month.

As someone who lives here, this is one of the few times I agree with our government. We're one of the least competitive states in the country, our tech sector is almost non-existent. It's reasonable to offer what you can to attract business. I think Landry's LED efforts so far have been a respectable attempt at improving the state of things.


Oh, there are lots of things you can do 'on edge' that can be easier/faster:

+ A/B testing + cookie warnings just for EU but not everyone else + proxy; helpful if you want to hide where your API is from or username/pass + route redirects + take off some workload from your server + mini applets (eg signup forms are great edge use-case)

ref: this is my old repo: https://github.com/lukeed/awesome-cloudflare-workers


Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did.

If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (each instance is like a browser tab; isolated). Thus the API difference.

But I do agree, CF is building out more of a suite.


WorkerD isn't anywhere near a "cutdown version of Chromium," it is an incredible platform with years of engineering put into it, from some of the people behind very similar and successful products (GAE, Protocol Buffers, to name some). I assume you are referring to V8 here but that also powers Deno.

WorkerD is open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

I personally am not a fan of Deno because of how it split the Node JS ecosystem, so that is not a benefit in my eyes. Of course, Workers can run Rust.

Nothing you said here necessitates an API difference.


I think you can also screenshot full length in Chrome-based browsers; do both desktop & mobile widths.

It would be a good backup for the backup, & you designer will thank you.


Thanks for helping to highlight how hard it is to track cloned/fake images.

BTW I guess 'watermarks' can be easily scrambled; add noise, filters, &/or recompress into another image format (eg JPEG -> AVIF).


I'm grateful that both x86 & ARM CPUs are perf-tested.
