Hi all,

I'm Co-Founder and CEO of www.vantage.sh - we recently launched "Advanced Analytics" which gives you the ability to see the accrued cost of each individual AWS resource in your AWS account(s) day by day broken down by cost category (computer, storage, transit, etc)

This gives you the ability to see costs for "hard" resources to see costs for...so imagine seeing the cost of each Lambda Function, Cloudfront Distribution, SNS Topic or SQS Queue.

The way this works is that Vantage will automatically profile for all active resources in your account using List/Describe service API calls then join that up with Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data.

Happy to answer any questions and hopefully this helps people demystify their AWS bills a bit. We also have a healthy free tier for the first $2,500 of AWS costs per month if you want to give it a shot on a personal account.
There is a reason for the saying: "Cut out the middle man."

All too often the middleman is milking both sides.

Google has value due to the search engine capabilities. But people realising they are being milked changes the value proposition.

I think Google is safe for now, though I don't think that is a good thing.
The killer feature for me beyond Mac-only apps: Time Machine.

Nothing matches it. I had some minor issues setting up my newly purchased M1 from an Intel backup, but it was quickly fixed when I updated the OS.

Okay, so its just normal marketing like what every company does? I guess maybe the word 'stunt' threw me off.

I worked at a Walmart 20 years ago that would lock employees in at night-- even when their shifts were over, in an attempt to get them to work extra hours.

My first gig out of college-- the company said they didn't pay vacations or holidays for the first 6 months. I had no idea this was illegal in California, but one of the other hires did and got them in some major amount of trouble for it. They also asked me to sign a non-compete, I knew that was illegal and told them "I'll sign if you want, but these are illegal in California so its unenforceable." And they also forbade me from talking about my compensation, which is illegal. I later found out some people were making half what I was, and some people were making significantly more than I was. During the negotiations they told me they absolutely couldn't go over number X, when in fact that was not true. Of course they didn't want people comparing salaries.

Employment is the wild west. A law just means you have some recourse when they do a thing, not that they won't do it.

Don't worry - for those of us not in industry or industry adjacent the industry seems totally crazy - ie, we get overtime occasionally, but hollywood seems built on it

Seeing the money being thrown at SVOD by apple/netflix et al, where does it even go if not into below the line pockets? The production budgets for some of these things rival movies of the past.
This was an empty, shallow attempt at shaming social media sites to use the same tactics that gaming platforms use. Anyone that has used either knows the paradigms between the two are so vast and stark it's like comparing apples and oranges. Just noise in my opinion.

I agree with you - MMT mostly just acknowledges the dynamic that has already been in place for the past 50 years, ultimately letting the government regain the power to spend money where it deems fit (eg infrastructure), rather than being bound by this "lending" facade that mainly directs new money to the financial industry.

What I mean by it causing price inflation is that money directly spent (especially on social welfare programs) tends to flow to consumers within one or two hops, where it will directly bid up the CPI. Whereas money that is "loaned" tends to linger in the financial economy and mainly causes asset inflation (which only eventually, maybe, causes price inflation). By making the economic feedback loop shorter, MMT makes the results of monetary inflation more apparent, and from an Austrian perspective this is a good thing.
I honestly don't know how to read it: does this mean that the Cayman Island, ranked 1st, are the most secretive or the less secretive in the world? (according to this ranking)

All behavior is biologically driven. There is zero evidence of nefarious outside forces.
The Kintex-7's are much bigger than the Spartan 6's. Getting a 6502 core into them wouldn't be the issue. The special thing about this board, though is that it's designed to be pin compatible with a real 6502 CPU, so you can plug it straight into a real 1970's/1980's home computer that used a 6502. If that's not what you want to do you'd need other glue logic to interface the CPU core with whatever you want to interface it with.
12 years here. Got certified. Grew network by getting outside the office for corporate marketing or other reasons. Found a job where I worked/ran the business side with technical aspects. Went out on my own, learned the value of earning on my own asset. Read a lot, always reading. Still a work in progress. I Burned bridges. Don't do that.

So... you tried to interfere in an election? I don't get that last part or why that's relevant: maybe you could have said "analyzed potential voter patterns" or some other weasel words. Either way I wish I'd read that before wasting my time trying this (see my other post). Thankfully I can now add you and your "team" to my growing list of activist brogrammers without actual ethics.
For what it’s worth, the current 3:2 13” option has about the same screen real estate as a 16:9 14.0” display, so it’s not as bad as the diagonal dimension suggests.
Of course, those are two prime characteristics you want in a tax haven.
You want it to have rule of law since you don't want your money/assets/secrets expropriated or exposed, and you don't want a new regime to come in to do the previous for their benefit.
Just as long as the haven is concerned about their laws, not other countries laws.

This is all true, but I don't understand why email providers will bounce personal domains. If you run DMARC and your domain is years old, what's the issue? I imagine that reduces the risk of spam by a lot.
I worked on a Uniflow steam engine at a company about ten years ago. It was a four stage (compound) engine with double acting pistons; the first stage was about 60 bar IIRC and the fourth stage was entirely sub atmospheric (below 1 bar). So the pistons went from about 40 mm diameter to over a meter across.

The application was thermal storage with adjustable output (a steam engine can be turned up and down unlike a turbine which is pretty much tuned for constant conditions). Cheap PV killed it even though the overall lifetime operational and maintenance cost were estimated to be cheaper (with closer to constant performance levels).
Starting to think that the guys on Twitter saying "everything is a housing issue" sort of have it right. I didn't know that even in major industries, real-estate had become one of the dominant expenses and a major threat to the viability of businesses.

Are you sure about that?

> And finally, we certainly do not ship the build system of glibc with Zig! I manually inspected, audited, and analyzed glibc's build system, and then by hand wrote code in the Zig compiler which hooks into Zig's caching system and performs a minimal build of only these start files, as needed.

It sounds to me like they build glibc using its own build system, but they use Zig to build the statically-linked glue code necessary to dynamically link to a system glibc. This allows cross-compiling to a glibc target without having glibc installed locally. Certainly very impressive.
There were tools that added multitasking to the C64, such as e.g. BASIC Lightning that let you run multiple BASIC "threads" + sprite animations at the same time.

It's easy to write a scheduler for a 6502 as there's so little to save, though you'll need to be very careful about stack usage, and you might do better with a specialised scheduler (e.g. for C64 BASIC) as a lot of code you might want to run may store additional state in fixed locations.
I would advise checking the decay curves for nuclear waste and checking what levels of radiation cause harm.

The tldr is that waste that decays slowly is doing so because its releasing less radiation. There's no radioactive stuff that we'd need to worry about on the million year timescale. The 10000 year timescale is the most where human health due to radioactivity might be a concern. And on those timescales your waste at the bottom of the ocean or 100ft below ground is almost certainly going to be still there and unaffected unless we or our successors decide otherwise.

Heck I'd say worrying about anything more than the 500 year timescale is absurd as I'd be very surprised if humans were still around in human form by then. We'll either have been genetically engineered, wiped out by those who have, wiped out by rogue AI or something else or been "uploaded" in some fashion.
There is some information on IATSE's site, I'll link below. Most specifics are confidential even once the contracts are ratified; there are also two separate contracts in question.

I can say, the core of it is demanding safe work hours, the rest is important but workable. The producers are trying to reduce pay, increase health care costs, skip lunch, and while asking us to work harder, and still pretending streaming media isn't viable. IATSE has been good over the years making okay, but arguably fair contracts, but producers consistently take advantage of the situation and contract language

Totally blatant. My sarcasm didn't come across, I suppose.
I'd say the field effects on electrical flow are probably the weirdest part to look at, and they don't reach 'magic' levels.

The atoms below that are relatively straightforward, and them being made up of building blocks is fine I guess, increasingly irrelevant to the issue of a computer.

And going up everything starts to get very non-magical as you turn response curves into binary signals and then string gates together.
I guess the release date was as recent as 2021-07-23, and it's conceivable that such a rebuilding project being run only with spare CPU cycles might take months (or might only have started recently).

As an interesting data point, I see that the number of pending packages is now 21.2%. Let's hope that most of these remaining packages (and those being retried) turn out to be reproducible.

If you want to lobby for the law that enables that to happen, I'm happy to sign your petition, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I have never in 25+ years of professional development had a productive meeting with a manager. However I have had plenty of productive meetings with engineers. My impression is that most managers mistakenly think they are productive and bringing value when they interrupt the people who are doing the real work. I have been the CEO of a company for 5+ years and in director/management roles for other companies. My teams were way more productive than the competition (according to our customers) and I almost never had meetings. The only rare exception was when a engineer was stuck or spinning his/her wheels. I would then get a few highly respected engineers together and let them help the engineer getting it resolved. All I did was to facilitate the meeting and keep my mouth shut after explaining the problem we needed to get solved. That’s all I needed to do. I probably spent about 1 hour a day on actual work. Mostly fending off bad ideas from other managers, defending the team from clueless managers who wanted to get involved, and making sure our customers stayed informed and happy.
> Currently, MoonHome is a single-man operation, 100% self-funded.

I wouldn't highlight this on the homepage as I don't think it's a plus. I personally wouldn't want my dev environment to depend on a single person operation.
In addition, the functional aspect is not always well-founded. As you may know, even many basic quartz watches (or certainly radio-controlled options) tend to drift less than some very expensive mechanical movements.
I'm certain of the clock speed, but I think you're right that the manufacturers alleged they were fine without additional cooling. (They considered it a bad look, and actually said that chips sold with fans were likely overclocked chips intended for a lower speed bin, or otherwise graymarket.)

But consensus among everyone _but_ the manufacturers was that additional cooling couldn't hurt. (A representative opinion can be found in Upgrading And Repairing PCs, whatever edition was current at the time.) Running right at the top of Tcasemax wasn't good for longevity in terms of electromigration within the chip itself, nor for the capacitors and other components in the neighborhood. Thermal goop wasn't commonplace yet, but the little heatsinks and fans sold like hotcakes (har!) at the local computer shows. Plain aluminum heatsink, clear (polystyrene?) fan, with a holographic "CRYSTAL COOLER" sticker on top. I still see the fans around, but without the shiny sticker.

The Am486DX-40 was my favorite chip. With a VLB video card (Trident 9400CXi) that worked well on the 40MHz bus, its pure pixel-pushing power ran rings around 33MHz-bus systems regardless of their core clock, and that included the P-75. I later got the impression that I lucked out with that Trident card, as almost everyone else with a 40 or 50MHz VLB machine had tales of woe and flakiness.

Quotes from the article:

"The suspect, whose age and identity police declined to disclose"

“It is natural to consider whether it is an act of terrorism. But the man has not been questioned and it is too early to come to any conclusion.”
This reminds me of a term used on one of those expat/sovereign man blogs: "Redundant Array of Independent Jurisdictions". The idea being that you have citizenship from Country A, reside in Country B, and run your finances through Country C, so you have no single-point-of-failure in governance over your life/assets.
I'm saying treating British occultism as a co-ordinate for serious inquiry into the function of an Aztec artifact wandered into Ancient Aliens territory. I presented it in the form of that theatrical style of questioning to illustrate that. But I am not an archeologist, I just watch Ancient Aliens sometimes because it's like eating mental cookie dough, in so many ways.
I don’t see why sixels couldn’t work. You’d probably want a tool to decode them, diff the images, and then output another sixel image. I’m admittedly not sure of such a tool existing off the shelf though.

I’m not aware of text editors supporting sixels, which could make preparing the tests a challenge. Certainly, you could imagine a text editor supporting them, but I’m not aware of one that does personally.

I will concede that for your specific use case, an off the shelf ASCII plotting library probably involves less custom tooling.

Compared to what?

If you ran this yourself, like I do on LightSail, that would be a (worse) one man operation.
Its either coal or nuclear. Solar is not even remotely a competitor. Gas and renewables are still carbon.
Anecdotally, I've seen in the past with both Google and Apple Search Ads that a large portion of the spend is paying for taps that you would have gotten organically anyway.

When you start using these tools, they almost seem to replace what would have been an organic acquisition with a paid acquisition.

As the article notes, why isn't this obvious for most large advertisers on these platforms?

Likely due to:

- Their spend is so large that it hides the fact that they would have gotten a large % of it for free anyway

- Large advertisers rarely stop all advertising for a period of time to notice the % of truely organic traffic (that isn't just opportunistically attributed to the platforms)

- They have been doing it for so long that big spends on these platforms are considered mandatory and not even questioned
I still have an Imation 128 MB "floptical" drive and some disks in the back of the lab somewhere. I assume it will be critical to read such media some time in the future. Probably...
Ha. It's much worse than this.

Some years ago, I treated myself to some nice Sophia Webster shoes.

I'm a tall man, my feet don't fit in any of her shoes, but a colleague had pointed out that er, they're for looking at, and if they're on my feet it's actually harder for me to look at them, so, why not buy them and put them on a display shelf like I would a nice sculpture. That made good sense. I bought an arbitrary size that was available - it's way easier to get the shoes you want if they don't need to fit.

Now of course as a tall man, even though it's not unknown for me to buy heels (in a size I can actually wear) it's rare, and I don't buy skirts, have no use for a bra and so on. But still, advertising isn't very smart, so it's not a huge surprise that after buying those shoes I got considerably more adverts for stereotypically female clothing and accessories even on platforms that explicitly know my gender and previous purchasing habits.

What did surprise me is how many adverts I got for the exact pair of shoes I had just bought. Not similar shoes from other designers. Not other shoes Sophia Webster has designed - the exact identical pair of shoes, often from the exact vendor who just sold them to me.

And my theory as to why is pretty simple. Advertising doesn't understand time's arrow. If you only ask whether these adverts are associated with my buying the shoes that's true. They showed adverts to me, I bought the shoes. The only problem is that causality is reversed, I bought the shoes and then they showed me the adverts.

This was confirmed to me by adverts the grocery delivery company I sometimes use ran at that time. The adverts specified the exact goods I buy from them, perishable goods which I had already booked a delivery of, saying hey, why not buy these from us. Well, I already did, duh? But so long as nobody remembers to analyse whether my actual purchase decision (not the delivery) was before or after the advert these adverts probably look like they have amazingly high conversion rates and you couldn't have targeted a traditional advert so narrowly, it must be worth it...
yeah, still so much unrecognized dualistic premise baked into our everyday reasoning and language.
That's very true, although I think there's a difference in attack surface size between the three isolation options (process based, sandbox based, hypervisor based).

I think the challenge for process isolation container based stacks (as I'm sure you know :) ) is that there's multiple components/groups involved in security and then there's co-ordination with the underlying Linux kernel as well, which makes things tricky, as Linux kernel devs will have potentially differing goals to the container people (e.g. the challenges about how to handle the interaction of new syscalls and seccomp filters)

If you compare that to something like gVisor, where there's essentially a single group responsible for creating/maintaining the sandbox, it's an easier task for them.

Then again, NO ONE has died during space travel since 2003.

As any tech matures, it becomes safer. Early flying was a death circus. Now it's the safest way to travel of all.

It's hard to say where on the "getting safer curve" space travel is with so few data points. But it just might be pretty good. Time will tell!
I once had a system, where the turbo button wasn't doing anything. Don't know if that was by accident, or by design.

It's a poor analogy. Google isn't taking you to the wrong website, they are showing you the alternatives at the same time as the search result you wanted.
Sure, but didn't pretty much every English person those days?

I feel the real interesting point is that he was interested in the unknown, and back in those days they didn't have the modern distinctions between what we now consider as natural and supernatural.

Seems that if you want to make progress in human knowledge, you assume the risk of doing things that appear frivolous or just stupid in hindsight.
I think Gavin’s probably an ass but don’t see anything wrong with being anti-work in general. I would be pro work if most work was meaningful, but am generally anti-work because most of it is exploitative and we do far too much of it in the US.

I’m not out here stealing from my job like Gavin but my attitude towards work is probably the same as him. Some of us just grin and bear it instead.
