Maybe you weren't burned by the near periodic massive GCP outages from 2019 - 2023. More power to you, but I'm not signing up for more of that.

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 :)

Clouds can't love you back.

Strangely the website links do not work unless you enable Javascript (e.g. to the GitHub project page).

Why do people make things this way? Let a plain old link be a link..

You'll run into the Alternative Implementation Problem

Relevant excerpt:

> 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:

    if (s.match(/my[R]egex[H]ere/)) { ..

Would be pretty nice and handy.

This is a well-informed observation.

It's unfortunate Amber doesn't have a Map data type, pretty big limitation.

I can think of ways of doing it, e.g. something along the lines of:

* Set the constraint that all keys must be of type String

* Then abuse /dev/shm/.Amber/${pid}/${func}/${stackDepth}/<put keys and values in files somewhere under here>

How do you hail an Uber or Lyft upon arrival?

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.

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:

> Safety first: The web’s come a long way in terms of security, and sticking to HTTPS helps keep everyone safer.

> Keeping it simple: Fewer methods of distribution mean less clutter and confusion, letting us focus on making OpenSSL even better.

> 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.

What functional overlap is there between TypeScript and Scala.js?

Let these types live in their supreme know-it-all fantasy world, they're not worth a thought. Anyone with a little common sense will see through their shenannigans and proceed to ignore them the way you'd ignore an ant on the sidewalk as you go about your busy day.

Don't take it personally, their ignorance has nothing to do with you.

So vaccinations received greater than 2-6 months prior are worthless in this context (still keeps you out of the hospital, doesn't reduce transmissibility).

This signals that the provided "immunity" is quite short-lived, moreso than any other vaccine I can recall. How unfortunate.

It's rather straightforward to create .bashrc aliases on Linux to transform xclip or xsel into pbcopy and pbpaste [0]:

  alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'

Are you able to share any specific complaints, gripes or issues? This entire thread is an Oracle bash fest without much specific data or information.

Don't get me wrong, not a huge fan of Oracle but am curious to know if there is an actual problem, or if this is simply a hater-ade/fanboy party with no substance.
