The OP doesn't even say "Totally not going to do it", merely "it feels off-mission", so a vibe check away from doing it.


Yep, and that's how he arrived at the $number. If a small number of people were using ad blockers, the cited sum would approach $0 since disabling ad blockers would affect very few page views, right?


Is that true? What if Google just pays them $150m to disable ad blockers?

Not sure if that's legal or whatever but killing ad blockers is probably worth it for Google.


Google wouldn't spend $150m to block adblockers if nobody was using adblockers.


Oh I know this bug! Happens with their own Bixby assistant too.

(Either Samsung dropped the ball on quality in the last 5-10 years, or I just started to pay attention, but the desire to throw this garbage in the bin is real.)


Oh this is perfect, one less vendor to ever consider.


It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example: https://github.com/mvasilkov/board2024/blob/master/out/app.c... — this is from my small 2024 game.


Alas no, it doesn’t solve it for all browsers/use cases.


You mean the select: none, along with the drag setting?

If so, that's not necessarily followed/applied for accessibility reasons


If your game is essentially a single canvas element, having it user-selectable clearly doesn't help accessibility in any way.


You say that as if I've got any control over the browser on the end users device, some of which will be configured to not apply these rules globally for accessibility reasons...


> Saying "I don't like Unicode" is like saying "I don't like the linguistic diversity in the world": I mean sure, OK, but it's still there and it exists.

Respectfully disagree, linguistic diversity isn't by definition impossible to create a good abstraction on top of; I think that it's more of a failure of this particular attempt.


Care to point out a -- by your definition -- successful attempt to do it?


LLM solves this by meeting devs in the middle: the vibe coded DB schema, coupled with agentically-made application code, makes even 20,000 records a "huge scale".


This is so accurate. I’ve looked in wonder at how someone is maxing out an r6i.32xlarge MySQL DB, when I have ran 4x the workload on an r6i.12xlarge.

Schema design and query design will make or break your app’s ability to scale without skyrocketing the bill, it’s as simple as that.


any blogs/books you'd recommend on schema & query design? it honestly surprises me that these coding-focused models can't look at a schema; look at how data is being queried; reason about the use case for the data; and help prioritize solving for the most likely bottlenecks to scaling the underlying data services.

This one is a classic for MSSQL, most of it is applicable on postgres.


JVM Python exists for the longest time now, where "exists" is purely technical. It's very cursed and bad, keeping in line with the rest of Java-adjacent stack.


Yet this "Java-adjacent stack" wipes the floor with Python and its ilk w.r.t performance and is what's actually running the world outside of some silicon valley ephemeral unicorns.


It's absolutely possible, but on an M4 mac the largest / slowest model I could feasibly run was very inferior, compared to the default paid Cursor experience.

I tested with Kilo Code: https://kilocode.ai/ -- it's a VS Code / Cursor extension.

To host models on desktop, there's this: https://ollama.com/


At this point I think it's just called a government, sadly enough.
