I was upset last week when I saw how much our managed Postgres service cost us at work. $800 for the month, it's storing around 32GB of data, and is allocated 4 CPU cores. Like you, I also run my services from a rented physical server.

Yes, I'm merely saying that one can't derive the tax from the $7m without considering expenses. Salaries being taxable at the employees' rate doesn't make it invalid.

The tax should be post-expenses

Imagine the 9950x, that can be a good reason to want to upgrade them. I'm on a 3900x and 2070 Super. I mostly reduced using the desktop when I got the M1 and M1 Pro devices. I now use it remotely from another room in the house. I'

I've been building a project from scratch. Creating closet lights using an ESP32 and W2812B strips. I'm mostly getting myself accustomed to Matter, as I'm more building something that I'll integrate with Google Home. It&

I was exposed to alcohol from around 13. Under age drinking is a pandemic where I'm from. I never was a heavy drinker. I mostly stopped for religious purposes and out of personal conviction when I was 20. On the personal conviction par

I think the simpler answer is that regardless of platform, gccrs can't yet compile core or std libraries, so println! won't work ( https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/issues/1389 ). I don't think i

How does one get PCBs with all the components wired in? I've been prototyping for a while, and it would be great for me to learn how to start putting stuff in cases instead of having wires dangling around. I was looking at PBCWay just

I'm personally happy that they maintained this for so long. Even if the apps were to get merged, I'd mostly be content. The data sharing between the 2 services has mostly gotten them to a point where they both give very comfortabl

I prefer self. The changes in ES5 in JavaScript were painful because some people kept losing track of `this`'s scope. IIRC it changed with arrow functions, making it hard to know what `this` the code was using. I prefer an explicit `th

I read the full thread (except for paragraphs where she pasted from previous responses). She failed to reasonably and convincingly refute some allegations. There were repeated requests to provide information, some of which would be trivial

I'm distinguishing between displaying contents of some payload vs actively tokenising and interpreting such content. If you set up an extension that blocks notifications with the word "vanilla", what the extension would be do

I'm at my mom's place, I had never thought of turning them all off. I think I should outright disable Chrome on Android notifications, as I now can't think of a reason why she should get notifications. She's been spammed

To digress and talk about DirectStorage, reading their documentation and announcements still leaves me with an unanswered question. Maybe someone knows the answer. Does DirectStorage only work for games, or can one use it for compute worklo

It sounds like TT will be a net taker from OSM, I hope they contribute as much as they benefit, as otherwise it would sound like they're giving up on prop-mapping by cutting costs. It's a press release I suppose, but saying the wo

5 years later, the system (not just GAdds) remains broken. The same kind of ads that Ground Up refers to, everywhere. MS Edge's launch page is riddled with these ads, they appear on otherwise high profile news outlets. The other irrita

Your initial experiments and decision to build on arrow-rs has been great for the project. Thank you and everyone involved.

There was a PR merged yesterday which should give us 5-10% improvements in compile times [0]. As long as there are people monitoring and working on compile times, one could optimistically hope that as more companies become willing to throw

The Kernel and say Chromium, don't use crates.io. They (will) vendor what they need, which they can update when they need to and when they've reviewed the dependencies. Unless that 0-day comes from some other software, it seems un

There hasn't been a convincing argument so far that Rust is a net negative for the Rust kernel from a security perspective. Sloppy programming practices and say sloppy review practices will exist in any language. What we're hoping

I'd also be curious to know. I've found Win11 to mostly be a skin on top of 10. Maybe I'm biased because I'm on the Insider Program, and I get changes incrementally instead of as a big release in 2 years

I'd have to look. My previous employer spends a life changing amount of money on Azure. MS has a lot of local partners. They have an office here which seems adequately staffed (might be mostly consultants). I'd say 90% of South Af

It continues to suck how African countries are excluded from these product launches and from many products in general. Microsoft has enough partners and regional offices because Office365 and Azure are the only worthy products for us in &qu

A bit unrelated, I've been learning ARM64 assembly out of the convenience of having an ARM machine. It's also been pleasant, I've been planning on learning RISC-V next. The only device I have access to though is the ESP32C3,

I'd also bet some money on that. Even at a residential level, the fiber rollout in many suburbs and few townships allows us to remain connected during the 2 hour planned outages. A lot more people are buying small UPS devices to power

FourSquare was great, their gamified app made it fun for us to check in to locations. My friend works for his city's local council, not too high a position. We all call him the mayor of the city, because he used to be the mayor of a lo

This is a great use of one's location data. I've personally found Google's location history to be a net positive for me. From places I've been whose precise addresses I can't remember (e.g. distant family events), t
