#1 is a bit of a gotcha; in the case of the USA it holds tax treaties with some countries (maybe blocs like the EU?) and not with others. If you’re earning in a country with a treaty, say the UK, you pay the local tax and any difference is

Wowza! Takes me back to lava lamps and those pin mould things back in the 90s! Kudos! I’d love this on a touch screen picture frame in my house were folks could play with it! I’d easily pay $150 for that.

My understanding of "guilds" is the notion of people coalescing around projects based on needs and interest vs a top down hierarchy. Like Valve vs Amazon, etc. At a prior employer (~1000 person company) we used the word "guil

All visas work this way afaik, at least in the few places I’ve traveled where I’ve needed a visa; notably Africa. I met a Italian man at immigration control in Ethiopia, at the Addis Ababa airport, he had been traveling Africa and this was

Oh, right! I was obvi missing something simple. You’re right, my b: they only relay to a few services so it’s keep their costs low. I guess I’m just so conditioned to think about video going direct to consumer that I missed that. Sorry for

Context: ex-early-twitch engineer. The economics on this are confusing to me; if they’re hosting a “repeater”, they’re paying for bandwidth in/out, and that’s expensive. If the streaming software is sending to multiple locations; the s

For reasons I cannot fully remember my voicemail broke many years ago. It goes something like: I’d switched to google voice for vm, where T-Mobile handled my line generally. Then google did something to google voice, some sort of discontinu

I’ve long considered why apps don’t have some VOIP client in them; if one can Face ID into their account, and use the VOIP client to connect to a rep - then the metadata associated with the call can inform the rep you are who you say you ar

> “close enough” I guess one, admittedly brutal, solution is for customers to act like the immune system. Call up, fudge your way through to something that should be protected, and then escalate to a manager and report that you got acces

Too soon! I’m currently debugging an issue where a USB 3.2 Gen 2 scientific camera is unable to negotiate a connection with Linux. Under closer inspection it seems the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port on this relatively modern Intel NUC is being identifi

Unfair. I’ve worked with Ammon IRL at a different co, he’s one of the most genuine people in the valley. Did PR consult? Probably. Is it just spin? Definitely not.

Yeah, missing the proxy pass option will definitely burn a prospective Lambda user. I also felt a similar tinge when the post talks about KCL. Yes, you use it, and yes there are rules about output streams - but they all make sense when depl

As I understand it the issue here is cash flow; the assets the companies have on their books are still valuable, but there is a cash flow issue right now. Every normal company would approach various lenders to take out a loan - I'm not

I’ve had to do this multiple times over the past two years. It’s always a shock to me how hard it is. The Lambda@Edge functions especially. They have 4 phases they can be injected into: viewer-request, origin-request, origin-response, and v

At Amazon new products have a press release written during the spec phase (to help frame the pitch internally); I presume, at this point, fb writes an apology during spec phase...

I’m currently on a project which uses Elixir and the Phoenix framework. Both are pretty good. It uses “hex” for package management, which has a tool called `mix` to call build related commands. Last I was in erlang was 2008; and I’m quite i

Of late there has been a lot of discussion about vendor lock in (notably wrt Lambda on AWS). I’m interested in how folks feel about this.

Also some form of typeahead prompt would be useful for a similar reason — for example: if one enters “bread”, being able to select the type of bread from a known list is helpful.

IME the AWS GUI is not useful for all that much in a meaningful context. Thus this post is pretty misleading to a new person getting involved in cloud; it doesn’t qualify as “full” in my mind. As a number of other comments have pointed out,

I’ve always found the metaphors around Technical Debt really interesting. They simplify it to a point where everyone “gets it”; however I have often worried whether there’s a cult of “anti-technical-debt”, much like there are the cults of “

What might not be super clear to most folks is that this is one of the last areas that medallion owners make bank. Typically, in many US cities local taxi operators have deals with the govt to ferry the elderly around. So this in effect is
