AFAIK Kraken and Newton don't trade Chia. Newton looks very, very similar to Coinberry. None of them trade Chia yet. The crazy thing is that on crypto.com I can _buy_ Chia, but I can't transfer in and sell it. > I think &#x2

Anything I could find says that if it's done as a hobby it's only dispositions that count. That really hammers home my point though. It's literally unusable by the average person because the taxes are so complicated you&#x2

It's fees all the way down. I'm not even joking. I wanted to buy an ENS domain last week, so I put $100 CAD into an exchange (~$80USD). I abandoned the attempt because, after the fees to transfer out of the exchange to a privat

I'm in Canada too and a couple years ago my regular bank sent me a notice saying they needed to increase my fees on my account plan by $1 making it a total of $16 per month IIRC. I already thought $15 was a total ripoff and trying to

I have something fairly simple I’m going to build to try out workers. The getting started docs seemed ok to me. I would love to have a local runtime so I could iterate faster.

I've been looking into it and I think it would be possible to do if the documentation were better. They have `Budget Actions`, but it's fairly new so the documentation and examples are lacking. Based on what I've learned fo

Sure. I'd enable that on dev / testing accounts without hesitation. I don't know why so many people pretend like everyone will be forced into getting resources deleted if there's an option of a hard limit. You can h

by ryan29 5y ago
Yeah, but that's $45 USD per month which is an expensive way to learn and test things that would normally cost <$5. It does get you $50 per month of Azure credits though, so it's probably the route I'd go if it's pos

by ryan29 5y ago
It's something that's frustrated me about Azure for years. They can do it, but they won't do it for pay-as-you-go accounts. Make a SKU that's not for production with a $100 setup fee to prevent abuse and prepaid cre

It's so true. I used Ant > Maven > Gradle. The thing that I think is different about modern CI is there's no good, standard way of adding functionality. So it's almost never write a plugin and always hack something t

I don't know if I'd say they're too simple. I think they're too simple in some ways and too complex in others. For me, I think a ton of unnecessary complexity comes from isolating per build step rather than per pipelin

People used to hate on Gradle a lot, but it was way better than dealing with YAML IMO. Add in the ability to write build scripts in Kotlin and it was looking pretty good before I started doing less Java. I think a CI system using JSON conf

I do casual work for a person that serves that sector. It’s 100% self serve for us. We’ll pay fair value for stuff and vendors won’t ever need to interact with us. The problem is when those vendors think their firmware updater is worth a

I have accounts for personal use and what I did was set up TOTP for the root account(s) and a U2F (YubiKey) device for the admin account(s). I use 2 YubiKeys; one primary, one spare. The YubiKey has limited TOTP space, but they're pe

It's odd how the big cloud vendors have been able to escape criticism for being completely open by default. Other vendors have been taken to task and have adopted better security practices. For example, SuperMicro IPMI comes with a r

The thing is that it shouldn’t have to cost more unless Uber is massively subsidizing rides. Once the platform is built the incremental cost of adding a driver or customer should be very low and, by cutting out an unnecessary rent seeking

Another good example of an awful implementation can be seen in Google Workspace. Sometimes the crappy ML algorithms will generate a false positive and suspend an account for a suspicious login. Fine. I get it. It’s hard to do at scale a
