As someone who was irresponsible in my 20s but had so much fun and made so many great memories that I can never regret it, now I’m playing catch up and it totally sucks. I don’t have any advice except generally don’t take any advice from anybody older than 40, and that is probably pushing it. They have no idea.

Am I missing something, or does it only cost about $2.27 per month to store all the tiles in Amazon S3? They're definitely not the cheapest game in town.

(Your build example says the tiles are 99GB, and their normal tier is $0.023/GB)

I guess the part of the cost that people actually care about is the bandwidth. How do you suggest dealing with that part of the problem?
I've been trying to get a PS5 for 2 years now, and I refuse to pay some scalper 200USD more than market price

Assuming the scalpers are able to sell their supply, what they're charging is the market price.

(But I guess that is also why I still don't have one :) )

Yup.
I virtually never self-promote, but that exact article got me to investigate the offering:

https://ldoughty.com/2022/05/exploring-aws-aurora-serverless...

Short answer if you don't want to read my post: it constantly uses CPU, it's always on. After creation, waiting 2 days, never logged into it, never ran a script against it, never gave it access to any networks, minimum cost is $43/month because it can't actually scale down to 0.5 units unless you CAP it at 0.5, which makes it unusable, because it consumes all of that capacity just to exist.

It sounds like this Neon offering is exactly what I hoped AWS was offering... Or they are using Language to suggest it and mislead the customer just the same ... If it's the former, if probably sign up and try it out. If it's the latter, I'll probably never touch it for the false hope.

Edit: lots of typos from phone keyboard

Fully manually managed memory is definitely antiquated / obsolete. As others have mentioned, you really shouldn't even be doing new/delete in C++ anymore, but instead std::make_unique or std::make_shared. At which point it's mostly automatic memory management.

HOWEVER, partial manually managed memory is unlikely to go anywhere. It's just too powerful of an optimization tool, especially as memory is one of the things that's just not getting much faster. If you're trying to optimize something like a game engine, being able to traverse your objects as fast as possible means they need to be laid out in memory sequentially. This is being somewhat branded "data oriented design" in the game world ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-oriented_design ), but it's broadly applicable.

Similarly you'll see things like arena allocators in all sorts of places (like protobufs https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/referenc... ). This kinda blurs the line between "manual memory management" and "garbage collection" since it's sort of both, depending on which side of the usage you're on (individual allocations end up essentially GC'd, but the entire heap is manually managed). Again, it's just too fast of a tool to lose.

The ability to jump between worlds is a very strong strength of C++, and it's something Rust can mostly pull off as well with the unsafe escape hatch.
The calculation that actually matters is the amount of storage needed. Unfortunately, the article is extremely hand wavy about that part and so even though the cost estimate of storing a entire week’s energy consumption might not be far off, the conclusions drawn from it might be totally wrong

I agree it's needed and it must be established if lacking, but 1) sometimes it's too unstable and you need institutional devices to counterbalance, but such devices are dismissed as useless bureaucracy in agile ideology and 2) agile seems to assume an idyllic world in which trust is established a priori and can be safely taken for granted

I know you're focused on self-hosting websites on the internet, but I have another, closely related problem.

I have a degoogled Android phone, and location services are one of my bigger frustrations with it. The phone has more than enough room to store the entire planet's maps locally, which means some microg-style replacement for google's location services should be able to compute location name from GPS coordinates, and also pull up map tiles without hitting the network. Both those features are super flaky, especially if the network is down.

This is particularly frustrating because I have Organic Maps installed, and it has already downloaded the necessary databases!

Unless the host decides whether to open an unopened door based on whether you already picked a prize door, it's sufficient to know that the door he opened is a non-prize door that you didn't pick.

To be clear, the "trick" is that the inference is invalid if the host is differently to open a door if you picked a non-prize door, with crossover where the host is more than twice as likely to open a door if you pick a non-prize door.
This is a really in depth and thorough article and I have a much better understanding of pegged currencies.

Back in college I took "History of jazz music". I hated it. Nothing against jazz music; it's great. And the history is fascinating. But I hated dissecting all the songs, over and over, trying to understand them and what makes them so good.

I just want to listen to the music and feel it; I don't want to understand it. And that's what makes it so great.

Planetiler isn't for hosting tiles, but generating them. For a planet-scale tile generation job it's the difference between hundreds or thousands of dollars in VPS fees and being able to generate them locally on a modestly equipped desktop. Planetiler does drastically reduce cost in that respect.

Instead, we quantify how much people are liked.

Even if I'm good weird, I'm probably too wordy for their algorithm.. Which.. If the algorithm were a person, they'd be the dumbest and smartest person in the room, you certainly couldn't talk to them. An intelligence that is unintelligible decides whether or not I'm popular on an interface i used to come to escape popularity contests.

The 1600 white bulbs are real slappers. If you can snag a costco deal or something.. do it.

The 1600 color bulbs are just the old color bulbs with an upgraded white LED, which is still really nice but not like... a huge upgrade if you're trying to blast really huge color. They are overpriced as heck right now. Really a bummer move.

> There's other stable coins with similar mechanisms like Synthetix / SUSD which are also risky, but AT LEAST in their case they require 400% overcollateralization in SNX to mint SUSD.

Apples and oranges, really. There is no redemption mechanism in sUSD that results in uncontrolled printing (i.e. devaluing) of SNX (the underlying collateral), unlike UST/LUNA.

sUSD is more akin to DAI (i.e., over-collateralized debt-based stablecoins) than to UST.
I'm a big fan of Elton John but I didn't enjoy this video. He just said what the chords were and played different instruments in solo. He didn't answer his question: "Why is it a great song?".

If you want to know why this song is great listen to the Strong Songs episode about Tiny Dancer: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/tiny-dancer-and-goodby...

Strong Songs actually explains why the instruments are playing what they are and how they impact the song—not simply what it is.
Seems like this might implement database branching in the way most people would assume: branching both the data and schema? I remember being a bit disappointed to learn that PlanetScale's database "branching" was only for the schema [1], which is still quite useful, but this would be so much cooler!

I couldn't find much info about the replication models available/planned however. I would consider this to be table stakes at this point for a serverless database with the recent trend of pushing compute to the edge. This is much more interesting to me than scaling to 0, which is only really useful during the prototyping phase.

PlanetScale is single primary with eventually consistent read replicas, Fauna has strongly consistent global writes (or regional if you choose, but no option for replication between regions if you do) with a write latency cost, Dynamo/Cosmos are active-active eventual consistently replicated with fast writes globally. All useful in different scenarios, but I'd love to have one DB tech that can operate in all of these modes for different use cases within the same app, using the same programming model to interact with data across the board.

I think the decoupled storage engine here would open up some really interesting strategies around replication. What are the team's plans here?

>> Let people put up a small deposit as well for getting a place in the queue

Pre-ordering with a deposit is definitely a very creative/smart accounting hack that Tesla (and Amazon) has used pretty effectively. It creates a negative cash conversion cycle (get the money upfront from your customer before you have to pay your suppliers) - which is highly profitable - especially when there is known demand.
Is there a name for "must document" code. For me it's any regex. Every single piece of regex should be documented, no matter how simple. Even if it's only for your own use, you will forget the intent.

I'm fixing up some old shell scripts - any single quotes with variables now get documented - sometimes you want to pass them to another shell or program so it IS intentional.
Shell is not the best language for complex programs but it does not justify the kitchen sink approach taken by systemd.

It looks like an example of corporate bullying vs. open-source community and the corporate won.

What Would an Egalitarian Internet Actually Look Like?
Unlocking North Korean songs on a karaoke machine (2020)
I've always been surprised at how readily people accept that "leadership" or "team" are concepts that can be successfully abstracted from a specific project, mission or circumstance. I had a friend who was obsessed with reading about leadership - but when I asked him what he actually wanted to accomplish, he had no idea. I felt, and still feel, that he (and people like him) were putting the cart before the horse. Leadership comes with huge trade-offs, especially if you're a technically capable creative, which makes it something to put off as long as possible. You only assume a leadership role when you have to. You've got to want to accomplish something big, such that you need (many) other people's help, and so you must be willing and able to organize that help. Anything other motive strikes me as empty status chasing.

Perhaps the closest thing I've seen to a "lab" that might begin to experiment intelligently with abstract leadership ideas is something like YC, which is in position to iterate on the expensive, difficult, messy game of tech business leadership, because they have a privileged position to see what works, what doesn't, and what the limits of those observations are. And I would bet that even after ~2k companies (or whatever it is) no-one in their right mind at YC would think they've seen it all. They have, at best, a set of good heuristics. Not great, just okay.

From the IC perspective, high perf means the ability to modify the product quickly and surely, while making practical trade-offs using sound judgement about the larger context of the work, by manipulating the code and code meta data (e.g. bugs and features). These systems are highly complex especially analyzed across ~20 dimensions of performance, and success often means guessing which dimensions to care about and which to leave to their own devices. If there is a systematic error mode in an IC its when your prioritization scheme is wrong because it's ossified, or because you're unlucky.

Thank you OP for answering a question I’ve been long curious about but never bothered to look into, and sharing here.

I love/hate Terraform. It’s better than any other tool I’ve used for what it does, but the abundance of subtly leaky abstractions is tedious. And then when you mess up your state occasionally, yea that’s super annoying too.
I think a name like Einstein will stick around though. It's too embedded in the public consciousness to disappear, and his breakthroughs are too big to forget.
What democracy? Popular opinion has an effect indistinguishable from random chance on US policy.

Philips Hue: You can use the phone app to control individual bulbs directly with bluetooth, but for more control you need also the Hue brigde, which talks to the bulbs over Zigbee (a wireless protocol), and to your phone app over your wifi. For initial setup, the bridge needs an internet connection, but otherwise it will work as long as your home wifi is up, even if there is no connection to outside internet. The features (timed schedules, scenes) live in the Hue brigde, so everything works also without outside internet.

LIFX: No Zigbee, no bridge. These bulbs connect to your 2.4GHz home wifi. More advanced features (schedules, scenes) live in the LIFX company server, so won't work without internet connection. But without outside internet connection, you can still use the phone app via your wifi router to control the color and brightness of individual bulbs. If you're a home automation hobbyist, you can give color and brightness commands to LIFX bulbs over your 2.4Ghz wifi, so you can program your own timed schedules that would work without outside internet connection.

Other smart bulbs: Cheaper. Philips Hue and LIFX are the two most expensive.

I understand LIFX is best for bright colors. But Philips Hue bulbs don't contain just RGB leds, but also leds for white and warn white, so the bulb may have 5 different types of leds. So Philips might produce better near-white "natural" light than same colors produced by combining only red,green,blue leds. Not sure if this matters to everyone or only to some lighting connoisseurs.

It's actually sufficient that he simply hasn't revealed the prize in the other 98 picks. Of course, it would make for poor drama if he just happened to open the prize in the process, but you can imagine a construction where he's picking 98/99 of the other boxes out of lotto machine and offers you the chance to switch if, at the end of the process, none of the doors he opened contained the prize.
