Yeah, companies really seem to like pissing away their users money on AWS. And then people wonder why everything is an expensive subscription now and somehow Amazon keeps getting richer...

> But then there is the question of cost on AWS side. Use Cloudflare R2 for storage, public bucket for delivery, and a $10/month Hetzner server to run conversions. You don't have to take your users' money just to burn it o

Why are you persistently storing copies of user passports? This is a data breach waiting to happen. Surely these should only be kept until whatever verification you wanted to do is complete, and then deleted forever?

Yeah, it's absurd. Current market pricing is more like $4.50 for hourly on-demand and around $2 for long term reservations.

This will return a range error instead of serving the file.

I started about 10 years ago with modding games. C++ is what everyone used (and mostly still uses) to write mods/cheats, dll injections, and so on. There were some shared online that I used as reference to learn how it was done. Lookin

It doesn't force it, but it is much more fun to use once you understand the fundamentals, since you can still write code where it makes a difference.

I'm currently in Germany working remotely for a US company as you described. They pay around 200k pre tax. There are real growth options from there. I've never seen a single competing offer from a German company, not even at the h

Lol, $1 billion. That's less than Meta spent on GPUs for fun for Zuck's pet project. Needs to be 100 times higher to be useful.

The alternative is slowly fading into irrelevance.

Someone who blackmails 33,000 people should receive 33,000 consecutive sentences for blackmail. Why even consider to let someone who uses technology to amplify how much damage they can do to society to such an extent, back out?

As long as you can answer a (long) series of "do you prefer A or B" questions, you can totally rank 82 people.

It's not just "kind of insane", it's completely bananas. Like what the actual fuck? We really need some kind of regulation to ban predatory cloud pricing.

Does the trapped light take up space, or can we use this to accumulate large amounts of energy like some kind of crystal-based battery?

> I think this really because C++ builds are fundamentally unstructured. Rather than invoking a compiler on the entire build directory and letting it handle each file, it is invoked once for every file in a way that might be non-trivial.

Modules are a massively over engineered "solution" to the problem that require significant refactoring to actually make use of them. Have you tried to properly use modules (i.e. create ones in your software, not just import std)?

by andersa 2y ago
It's frustrating to see the C++ committee spend year after year on pointless new over engineered libraries instead of finally fixing the compile times. On a high level view, with only one change to the language, we could entirely elimi

This is standard Google behavior. Logging into Google on any new device always asks me to confirm it on one of the other devices that are logged in (i.e. phones, tablets). Suppose it's some kind of 2FA.

It's a catch 22 - you can't deploy Rust so no one uses Rust for anything, no one uses Rust for anything so there is no reason for Sony to work on Rust deployment. I think it would be a really good fit for certain parts of the engi

It's not really anything new. Very common in environments where you can't ship symbols such as games crashing on player's computers. For example, the Unreal Engine crash reporter has been capable of sending such a simple form

It never was. During their brief fight with Elon Musk they revealed old emails clearly stating that releasing things openly was only a ruse to attract talent at first and they never intended to do that with good AI models.

Hmm. My parents have one of these. Any advice on how to fix it? "Stop using it" obviously isn't an option. - Does configuring a custom DNS server (like Cloudflare one) on your local computers solve it? - On the reddit linked

On the project I'm currently working on, we use filters to disable syncing groups of art assets we don't need, so a checkout for an engineer is usually quite reasonable. Probably also around 400GB though it includes the engine. Wi

Billing is automated. What support? S3 doesn't care whether it serves a PB of Epic traffic or from thousands of small customers, it's all automated. There is no actually reasonable explanation for the service being 10-100 times mo

This really needs to be made illegal already. All prices should be public and you should not be allowed to charge different customers different prices for the same automated service. I should be able to store my data at the exact same $&#x2
