Without understanding the architecture and use case better, at first read, my gut says that isn’t an AWS problem - it sounds like a solutions architecture problem.

There are cheaper ways of building that use case on AWS.

Most AWS sticker shock I’ve seen results from someone who doesn’t really understand cloud trying to build on the cloud. Cost has to be designed in from the start (in addition to security, operational overhead, etc).

In general, I’ve found two types of engineering teams who don’t use the cloud: the mugs and the superstars. And since superstars are few and far between, that means…

Résumé/CV: https://www.geary.com/resume.html or https://www.geary.com/resume.pdf and https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgeary/

Email: mike@geary.com

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

Are there any examples of music software that can be used professionally and isn't crippleware?

Specific to this "problem" with git, are there music project formats that aren't binary, or at least trivially and unambiguously machine translatable to/from plain text?

If the binary format is just TLVs why can't there be a plain text representation?

But oth, nothing is better at dealing with edge cases and weird things than writing your build scripts in an actual programming language. All that an integrated C++ build system would do is add a new std::build API, and for the compiler to discover a build.cpp file, compile and run that to perform the build. All the interesting "build system stuff" stuff would be implemented as regular stdlib code.

See Zig for a working example of that idea (which also turned out to be a viable cmake replacement for C and C++ projects)

It could even be reduced to compiler vendors agreeing on a convention to compile and run a build.cpp file. Everything else could live in 3rd party code shipped with a project.

In an ideal world, a product that can be harmful is tested privately until there is a reasonable amount of safety in using that product. With AI, it seems like that protocol has been completely discarded in favor of smoke-testing it on the public and damn the consequences.

Of course, investors are throwing so much money at AI and AI is, in turn, buying legislators and heads of government, who are bound and determined to shield them from liability, so …

We are so screwed.

Privacy Pass [0] is a proposed IETF standard for this. It is an e-cash scheme based on blind signatures or oblivious pseudorandom functions and provides unlinkability. In my opinion, it is a relatively simple protocol, at least when compared to full-blown anonymous credential schemes, which could also be used for anonymous age verification.

This sounds like such a cool useful project!

I had to look up the proper name for it, but I have always had my visual field medically tested with a "Humphrey" visual field test machine in a hospital:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK585112/

TIL, there is also something called the "Goldmann" perimeter test.

Visiting Ireland, as a kid, was fun for sure! I remember my father driving a "right-hand drive" car that had the steering wheel on the opposite side of what I was used to - on the opposite side of the road from what I was used to - all, while shifting the manual transmission with his left hand, but the floor pedal arrangement was the same.

Curiously, both of my parents are left-handed, but I am right-handed. I have no family history of epilepsy either! Maybe I am adopted.

Who we are looking for:

- Software Engineers: large-scale distributed systems, networking, system design, embedded software, DevOps rollouts. Python, C++, Rust. Bonus: SDR, mesh, security.

- Electrical Engineers: PCB layout, embedded, RF, circuits, power/batteries, electro-mechanical. Bonus: DSP.

- Marine/Mechanical Engineers: pressure vessels, subsea robotics, gliders, ruggedized design; DFM, reliability, field deployment.

You will: ship code to robots, test on the water, move fast, own big surface area, and work directly with military operators.

About Us: Our founding team includes a Navy SEAL veteran, defense industry engineers, builders, hackers, and watermen (sailors, boaters, divers, fishermen). We’re focused on real future missions — not legacy requirements. Venture-backed; public launch soon.

Eligibility for a TS/SCI security clearance is a plus. Please send a short note + resume/portfolio to jobs@reveredefense.co with subject HN – Engineering.

The conventional wisdom of investing the maximum into your 401(k) beyond employer contributions is a dangerous tip if you fully intend to retire early, because you are penalized so heavily on withdrawing too young and then further taxed on it.

It’s such bad advice and people parrot it all the time, probably because so many people are so bad with finances to begin with. It’s almost always a bad idea in this specific case.

If you intend to retire in your late 60s, then the conventional wisdom is fine.

Congrats on publishing. You should use this as a starting point for developing stronger opinions about web design.

I recommend going through the site with a highly critical eye, and giving thought how your desired audience would experience the content.

- What's clickable? oh, seems like these boxes with heading and description are clickable. Hm, except the "tailored learning paths". Weird. Would have thought something with a green border labeled "recommended start" would be a link to something else.

- So I have free access to the tutorials, but then anything with a colored background takes me to a login screen? Not sure why...

- Lot of different types of interactive thing here. The colored boxes are links, except when they're not. Sometimes there's groups of "buttons" that link to pages (kinda weird in itself), and the fact that the buttons are grouped seems arbitrary, because they are not mutually exclusive choices ("Professional Course" vs "Best Tools & Apps").

Build your first AI-assisted application *without any prior programming experience*

then later, the advice for fixing "data disappears when I refresh":

Solution: Ask for proper storage: "The data isn't saving properly. Fix the localStorage implementation so my expenses persist between sessions."

An effective adjustment, but not at all the sort of adjustment prompt a total beginner is going to come up with.

What You'll Master in This Tutorial

The extremely basic tutorial I just finished reading?

---

"All our tutorials, guides, and examples are open source. Learn, remix, and contribute back to help others on their vibe coding journey."

...except I have to give you my email address to read a lot of it?

Speaking of, the privacy policy makes a LOT of commitments about things you will proactively do with user data to comply with applicable law. Are we supposed to take that seriously or no, since the site is vibe coded?

All this is to say, you should be your toughest critic, especially if you're vibe coding.

Location: BC Canada Remote only : 10 years remote, 12 years experience Technologies : C, C++, SIMD, OpenGL, WebGL, WASM, JS, TS

Interests : compilers, language runtimes, 2D & 3D graphics, performance

--------

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'd describe myself as a competent generalist and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before.

My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup where I wrote prototypes for a compiler and a cycle simulator.

One of my personal projects of ~10 years is a 3D game engine. Working on it has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It runs on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without any libraries (barring the CRT for startup), which began as a learning exercise, but has taught me the value of simplicity.

I've also been working on a metaprogramming system for C & CPP. Think templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. It currently generates many tens of thousands of lines of code for my game engine project including containers and an interactive realtime data visualization/editor.

On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implementation, and wrote about the process on my blog. I beat the state-of-the-art by ~1.8x, which took me about two weeks.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer!

Cheers, Jesse

Switch currently runs in one of two modes: Docked and handheld. Games are written to expect those two modes, with rendering adjusted to those specifically and nothing else. Think of all the render settings in a PC game (in reality there are way more things the developer can adjust, but just for the sake of illustration), and assume there are instead two hardcoded presets which are selected based on whether or not the device is "docked".

For Switch 1 games, docked means "we're running as fast as the internal cooling can handle and outputting 1080p, assume the user can't use the touch screen and such". A dongle is fine here as long as you don't block the air inlets or exhausts, or place the Switch on something heat sensitive.

For Switch 2 games, docked means "we're running as fast as the externally boosted cooling can handle and cranking out 4k, and assume you can't use the touch screen and such". Assuming the fan does useful work here, then with a dongle you'll be thermal throttling and have a bad gaming experience - on a PC you'd turn down the settings, here those are hardcoded.

So, what about using the switch 2 handheld mode on a switch 1 dock, seeing it's the same resolution? Well, if you tell it to run in handheld mode it might assume you have access to the touchscreen, always-on VRR and HDR, is using internal speakers, etc.

It's totally doable, but to do this right the stack needs to be prepared for it. As such, I understand why they did it.

Heck, this was the same issue for the Switch 1, and it took a while for third-party docks to pop up. It'll take all but a moment for third party docks to support this.

> The law needs to stand up and make an example here, otherwise this will just continue and at some point a real disaster will occur due to AI.

What does it mean to “make and example”?

I’m for cleaning up AI slop as much as the next natural born meat bag, but I also detest a litigious society. The types of legal action that stops this in the future would immediately be weaponized.

Is it? Putin's regime seems like a mostly generic pseudo-fascist dictatorship, except that they have nukes and stuff which they inherited from the USSR.

> absolute worst aspects of it are preserved

While it's obviously horrible, lets not downplay what the USSR was.

Even as late as the 80s when they were pretty much exterminating entire towns and villages in Afghanistan. Of course there are tactical and strategical reasons why they can't do something close in scale to that in Ukraine.

Yikes, as expected people have started to take google AI summary as fact without doing any more research.

We all knew this would happen but I imagine all hoped anyone finding something shocking there would look further into it.

A few points:

1. It's not necessarily different. Your ISP has monopolistic power over you, and it should be regulated more aggressively.

2. A non-mobile ISP is currently much less important than an Apple/Google account for interacting with modern society, and less important than it was even a decade ago. If all 1.5 of my available home ISPs turned evil I could manage just fine without them.

3. Given the relative public perceptions this feels weird to say, but Comcast and their ilk are much less problematic than the Apple/Google monopolies. You can largely just pay for internet (plus an extra 10-40% from scammy business practices) and do whatever you want to do, with the analytics they're selling about you being less invasive than those which Apple/Google use.
