mfs doing stuff like this really need to stop living in america bruh 💀

it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀

ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?

i'm not even sure what we're debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they're trying to mitigate that...

while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated

significant and/or unsustainable bills are not necessarily the result of google cloud's pricing changes (in fact i'm pretty sure that their pricing remained the same), it's most likely smth that changed on the twitter's end

i don't really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter

can he actually pay twitter's bills? like, i really don't know whether he can just directly pay them, corporations aren't structured like a weekend market i'm assuming

and even if he could, i'm not sure if it would be sustainable (1bn usd hosting bill sounds very substantial)

i'm assuming that cessation of twitter's existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value
