So if I workout every day, some days do strength training others long runs, cardio, sprints, strides my heart falure risk is higher with the usage of melatonin pills?
Also in the article it mentions that they focus only on groups that have already been prescribed the medication or have diagnosed insomnia or other heart related issues so if you are fully healthy and take it from time to time to recover sleep or change a timezone(when travelling) it might be okay for single time use(I am not a doctor).
Why would you run your site on Workers instead of the static content hosting? Aren't the workers supposed to be used in case you must do computational work for requests, connect to a db, do some work etc... ?
I got curious about it too, found that author actually did a write-up on that in 2020 [0]. I don't know that much about Workers, but it sounds like it's needed for analytics?
Or at least it used to be the answer when I still cared about analytics. Nowadays, friends send me a message when they find my stuff on social media, but I long stopped caring about karma points. This isn't me humblebragging, but just getting older.
The longer answer is that I got curious about Cloudflare workers when they got announced. I wanted to run some Rust on the edge! Turns out I never got around to doing anything useful with it and later was too busy to move the site back to GH pages. Also, Cloudflare workers is free for 100k requests, which gave me some headroom. (Although I lately get closer to that ceiling during good, "non-frontpage" days, because of all the extra bot traffic and my RSS feed...)
But of course, the HN crowd just saw that the site was down and assumed incompetence. ;) I bury this comment here in the hope that only the people who care to hear the real story will find it. You're one of them because you did your own research. This already sets you apart from the rest.
Using Workers is now what Cloudflare recommends by default, with "Static Assets" to host all the static content for your website. Pages, as I understand, is already built on the Workers platform, so it's all just simplifying the DX for Cloudflare's platform and giving more options to choose what rendering strategy you use for your website.
Sometimes people use them as reverse proxies or to load stuff from cloud KV. You could probably build a web stack on it if you wanted to. But I think a static blog like this would be simple enough on Pages or behind the regular CDN.
Interesting, could it be that their software is built by Gemini, the acquisition is managed by Gemini, and the Gemini in Google made a $32B deal with the Gemini at Wiz?
