Do I break your balls too and say “I’ve never had any delay” and “there was about 4 seconds delay” are mutually-exclusive? Do I break your balls further by pointing out there was never a “Pentium 1” CPU?

We really need more public transit, though there also exist pavements that reduce road noise (most of it comes from tires) considerably… it’s just that it’s more expensive (and more effective) than noise walls… but government mandates say n

My main gripe with Amazon is how slow it is. It takes me like 30 seconds to change my shipping address and payment method before placing an order. I always assume it’s because they’re using Glacier on AWS to drive that functionality.

I used to scrape the calls for service for my local PD, and the inaccuracies were considerable. Of course there were typos in addresses or cross-streets, but there were also inaccuracies with how the incident was classified (for example, a

On the other hand, AMD was on the brink of bankruptcy and Lisa Su led them out of it and into a triple-digit share price. Most companies with that much debt and that little revenue would have gone bankrupt. Lest we forget the Intel IPC adva

What I meant to say was S3 uses 2^20 to convert from bytes to kilobytes rather than 10^6 (e.g. what Windows uses). https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-console-metric-discre... > 3 console and Storage Lens use bas

I think I explained this poorly, and I appear to be mistaken about it being to save CPU cycles (though an entity such as AWS would absolutely be about saving minuscule CPU cycles that add up at scale). I spent a lot of time researching this

No mention of how AWS/S3 approximates the size of a file to save CPU cycles. It used to drive me up a wall seeing S3 show a file size as slightly different than what it was. If I recall correctly, S3 uses 1000 rather than 1024 to conve

The industry really has become bloated. Now we have DevOps and Agile Coaches and Cloud Engineers and microservices and JavaScript Everywhere(TM). It’s all bullshit. DevOps is really so complex that a medium-sized company needs an entire tea

Tell me about the server in your attic. I’m in Florida and so putting tech in my attic seems like a bad idea. Is your attic/loft air conditioned? Do you live in a cold climate? My RTX 3090 is literally unusable upstairs. I have it in a

Getting the data is always the hard part for stock apps. My experience has been that it’s very difficult to get up to date data for free. You’ll probably have to pay for an API. You’ll probably want to anyway so that you aren’t juggling sev

So far it’s mixed. Prompt engineering is important and makes all the difference, but for what we pay to hit the OpenAI API, I’m not particularly pleased.

So these alternatives exist yes, but are they “production ready”- in other words, are they being used. My opinion is that while you can use another language, most companies for one reason or another are still using C++. I just don’t rea

All the sane and rational people are rooting for you here in the U.S. I’m sorry our government is garbage and aid hasn’t been coming through as expected. Hopefully Ukraine can stick it to that chicken-fucker in the Kremlin and retake Crimea
