Daily News Stuff 28 September 2018
Slow news day, but I managed to dig up a few items for you.
Slow news day, but I managed to dig up a few items for you.
Tech News
- Cloudflare has become a domain registrar, selling domain names at cost. (Bleeping Computer)
One the one hand, this ties your domain, DNS, SSL, and CDN into one epoxy-sealed Gordian knot. On the other hand, Cloudflare so far are one of the least worst tech companies when it comes to freedom of speech.
- Skip is a new language from Facebook that sucks.
If the front page of a programming language website doesn't contain a code example, you might as well give up right away.
- The SEC is suing Elon Must and Tesla over the 420 tweet. (TechCrunch)
Not surprising, really.
- Intel's CPU shortage expected to extend until the middle of next year. (Tom's Hardware)
AMD just ordered an entire tanker truck of champagne.
- Amazon now offers virtual servers with 12TB of RAM.
And 448 CPU cores. Well, threads, actually; these are running on 8-socket 28-core Intel servers, the largest standard x86 systems currently available.
They cost about as much as a nice house in San Francisco. Per year.
Our new server does doesn't quite have 12TB of RAM, but it has 12TB of SSD, which is pretty nice.
Social Media News
- Apple News doesn't help anyone but Apple. (Slate)
I am shocked, shocked, at this turn of events.

Regarding Skip: can we stop making up new language that marks functions with the keyword "fun"? Please? Yes, that applies to Kotlin, too.
