As a dev I recently sent my first AWS support request. Received a non useful response featuring factually incorrect statements about their own platform. Replied to support ticket, no reply. Sent email to two AWS reps, never got a reply.

Though often conflated, there is a difference between introversion (preference towards less external stimuli) and shyness (fear of social judgement). You may be a shy extrovert. Also I can totally relate to the hyper fixation on "what

I'm not proficient in C. Does this "just work" or do you need to provide some sort of rendering environment like SDL?

Software is more than just the code to make a computer do something. It is the auditor's log of rules that were painstakingly researched and decided on over months, years, etc. A lot of time goes into deciding what the program needs to

Is this what is meant when people say that Windows doesn't have stable APIs? I've not programmed windows/desktop software and have often been confused as to why if you're writing an assembly program, you have to use at l

I'm sure you have a ton of suggestions but having an option to filter by sweetener type would be great. I'm trying not to buy anything with sucralose.

Agreed. I think part of this shift came with the transition to use real names online everywhere. Now what you put out there really matters because you might be judged for it years later. So if you're limited in your creativity, why bot

Which is maybe part of the reason RAM needs to be so close to the CPU? Granted though most RAM access takes several CPU cycles.

This is great work! I've been interested in having a ready to go dev environment for DOS where you just do straight INT 10H development like back in the day. Is it possible to compile work here to an actual x86 DOS executable that coul

Add an SD card to that cost as well as an ethernet adapter, maybe wifi too? I'm not trying to bash on the Pi as option in all cases, just trying to note that in some cases, particularly hosting local services, it's likely not the

It's a fair point but as others have noted, these mini PCs can be very power efficient. I still need to hook up a meter to mine to see what the wattage is but I'm sure it's far below a typical desktop PC.

Stunning value indeed, they got more RAM than my M3 I use for work. Edit: oh wait there are drop downs to change the specs, subject is max specs but initial price is the min specs. Still good though

I've been loving the recent attention to mini PCs here. I've had hobby projects put off for a while as I tried to find the best R-Pi clone, only to buy one and struggle just to get it to boot. Then I pick up a used mini PC on ebay

A potential side project I keep coming back is reimplementing the dedicated server for an old game like this. Even years ago when the games were popular, I often found the DS challenging to run.

I don't know a ton about unions so first I've heard of such a thing. How does this work? Isn't it illegal to prevent someone from joining a union? (Yellow dog contracts?)

The article says it costs $.40/mo to store 400GB on Glacier. Looking at current Glacier pricing of $.0036/GB, that should actually be $1.44/mo. I realize an additional $1.04/mo isn't much but the number is off by a
