An account ID in the URL would a terrible idea security-wise. It might not matter for you, but there are scenarios where every bit of information is carefully collected and then put together in an attack attempt. While you may hear conflict

People kept up bringing this argument since the very beginning when people already asked for this feature. This used to be the most upvoted request on AWS forums with AWS officially acknowledging (back in 2007 IIRC), "We know it's

No, setting a limit doesn't work. They will still try to charge you. A friend had a charge for $0.35 running for a year after his credit card expired. They closed his account later but would definitely come after you if the amount was

I guess you'd want Hetzner. You get a generous amount per server and then a reasonable price for each additional TB.

Oh so that's why the Brits all have this crazy setup with separate cold and hot taps! I was always wondering why - I'm from a country where you can mix water easily.

For me P1S hits the soft spot: it's not terribly expensive, and it just works out of the box, is closed so the temperature is well-controlled (plus a carbon filter to keep the fumes down), you can add AMS easily. With 0.2 nozzle you ca

This has happened and is happening in Europe, too. Many people are coming in, some of them don't integrate and cause problems, the center says it's not a problem and the left says let's have more of them. More people are comi

As a person who has kids, I agree with you to some extent - a decision to have kids is not necessarily rational, you don't take ROI into account that much. However, life with kids, in spite of many negatives, feels much "nicer&quo

It might happen the way you describe, or, if they get more popular, then may try to think harder and offer more paid options. Now they're in a growth stage - they need to convince the largest possible number of developers they should s

I still use one of these for media viewing on my TV, great machines as you could upgrade disks to 2TB and memory to 32 GB. This is for machines that are 12 years old! And Apple is still selling new machines with ridiculously lower specs.

They do this trick with RAM/disk configs for all their product lines. This basically means that any useful config is relatively expensive, and I would never recommend their entry-level models to anyone.

First, it is not WW3 but Russian aggression on Ukraine. Second, they had very clear reasons: Putin always considered Ukraine his property and when he realized he can lose it, he decided to use force. He elaborated on it in a longer piece[0]

I see this power struggle in job applications. The companies who really want to hire talent will include a remote option. Those with a more constrained vision will insist on hybrid or even full RTO. As an applicant the first thing I do is t
