Lots of shade being thrown, I'm surprised at all the toxic bile. All cloud providers are fundamentally in a race to the bottom for commoditization of compute infrastructure. The competition should be desirable.
Anyhow, if I had to guess why ClosedAI made this decision, well there are lots of big companies who like Oracle Cloud because if the spend is sufficient, Oracle will literally build and then support whatever configurations you want in any region across the entire globe. Good luck getting that level of care from AWS, Azure, or Goggle.
In my experience OCI is still better than GCP, not that it's really saying much, AWS has been the "best" IME :)
Drove through Be'er Sheva in 2019 while Hamas was sending rockets (earlier the same day I was there, not at exactly the same time) and would go back again without hesitation.
The tourism industry is effectively dead [1]. If your visit - even at the risk of losing a limb or death - can feed a single Israeli for a day, you must visit.
> You may read this and think that the key lesson of this post follows the old adage that “if you can’t beat them, join them”. In some ways, I suppose it does. What I want to say is that if you start a project to try and position yourself as an alternative but better implementation of something, you are likely to find yourself stuck in a spot where you’re always playing catch up and living in the shadow of the canonical implementation.
This concept doesn't exactly map 1:1, but gist seems correct. Who wants to program in a worse and very limited version of Python? Who's going to keep things up to date in e.g. Amber as Python continues to evolve? Not fun.
It's interesting Amber doesn't seem to be leveraging Bash-native Regexes via:
if [[ "${foo}" =~ ^someReg[e][x][p][r]$ ]]; then ...
What value exists in going to such great lengths to target super old and anqtiquated versions of Bash? It becomes very limiting for this poor new language :-s
Maybe still just the earliest of early days? Javascript-style RegExs along the lines of:
Endpoint navigation is not optional for me. I suppose you could pre-login to only those apps, but still, there is nothing that interesting on my phone that I want to spend the energy to wipe, restore, and re-login to a hundred apps.
How is that a big deal? Half the time you'd have to install the local equivalent of those ride hailing services anyways - that is if regular local cabs aren't the preferred way to get around.
I use like 2-3 apps for getting around, depending on country. I don't know what you're doing with hundreds.
This is the correct title, but a more informative one would have been:
OpenSSL releases will now be distributed through GitHub
Dmitry Misharov's reasoning:

> Watching the budget: Streamlining things cuts costs, which means we can spend more on improving OpenSSL and supporting you all.
I wonder what hosting was costing the OpenSSL project and how many servers will be decommissioned. I hope they really do follow through on point #3 of reallocating the funds towards improvements.
At first I had a very negative reaction to this news, because it further entrenches the reliance on GitHub (a for-profit company owned by Microsoft). Then after reflecting, I imagine if GitHub becomes unattractive (for example, the policies become unfriendly), it can always be switched back to host on openssl.org.

Clouds can't love you back.
