Are there serious proposals to just add a wealth tax on top of the existing income tax that would apply to the sort of people who actually pay much in income tax vs capital gains? …

Yep, NSIS is awesome and my team is still using it to package Windows builds of at least two apps. I was pleasantly surprised to see Tauri [0] includes NSIS as one of its built-in …

$10/month difference is, to use your phrasing, absolutely nothing. It's not worth anyone's time to make that switch unless it's some toy app paid for out of pocket.

Interesting, the use of grammar production rules reminds me of Grammatical Evolution[0], which has shown some promise in constraining the search space when using EAs for e.g. symbo…

Lots of reasons. My company started using AWS (and specifically S3) something like 9 years ago; R2 wasn't even on the radar back then. If I were starting from scratch today, I'd be…

Jeff Barr posted that AWS is actively working on a resolution for this: https://twitter.com/jeffbarr/status/1785386554372042890 . Given who he is, I take this as a strong indicatio…

Somewhere, Edward Tufte[0] is weeping. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte

I use Authy on my phone and watch, but not Authy on the desktop for exactly this reason; if my computer is compromised and 1password is accessible, they still don't have access to …

I'm glad to see they didn't forget about HTTP 418[0] in their response code docs[1]. [0]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418 [1]: https://developer.tesla.…

Factotum and South of No North are two of my favorites.

This is very disappointing. I'm kind of amazed that they think this is a good business decision when there are massive numbers of paying customers with mountains of python code usi…

I’m still using a 2015 MacBook Pro, and it doesn’t feel slow. I’ve done no repairs or maintenance on it in all that time.

This is interesting. I've just started having video meetings with a colleague (not Japanese) who aggressively interjects these words when I'm speaking, to the point that I find it …

While you _can_ tack all of those things on to your API, many people (myself included) prefer to separate those concerns. A dedicated API Gateway can prevent a lot of additional lo…

It's worth noting that AWS's free tier has absolutely no safety net and you can easily end up with an unexpected bill, sometimes a very large one. The single best thing AWS could d…

Right, that's my point in responding to the parent comment about fitting 5 people in a Camry; it's not so simple when 3 of them require car seats.

Have you ever tried installing 3 car seats into a compact car?

Wow, yeah, us-west-1 AND us-west-2 are reporting connectivity issues. I'm guessing this is related to the Auth0 outage that's currently going on too.

This whole time I've been seeing intermittent timeouts when checking a UDP service via NLB; I've been wondering if it's general networking trouble or something specifically with th…

I'm having CLI issues as well, they're using the same APIs under the hood. For example, I'm getting 503 errors for cloudwatch DescribeLogGroups.

Yep, PHD isn't loading, Cloudwatch is reporting SQS errors, metrics aren't loading, can't pull logs. This is in US-East-1.

Evergreen comment: Don't forget to request your credit per their SLA[0]. You have 10 days to request your credit, which by my calculations should be 10% of this months' charge. Not…
