Sounds like you don’t have billing credentials for your iams user.
I created a CloudFormation script specifically to do this (including CloudFront for CDN). Yes, there's reasonable complexity, but it's a trade-off of security and configuration. As others noted, the documentation is good, and this took me a weekend to write including learning CloudFormation from scratch.

Hey, is the AWS account you are using inside an organization? If it's then all the billing information should go into the management account. Hope this is the issue and I could help you.
Restaurants in the US do serve tap water, though (and for free, unlike in Europe, proving that these restaurants aren't buying fancy bottled water to serve you). Some places in the US have naturally higher concentrations of sulfur in the ground, which can contribute a "stinky" taste, but usually that's only noticeable if you're drinking from a well on your property rather than from the municipal water supply. Of course, the US is a big place, and this will vary by region.

Sort of agrees with my own opinion, that your use of Macs and iPhones and your stay in the ecosystem is only secure as long as you keep paying up.

More specifically, you're good for a year after you do a major upgrade. After that you may or may not see critical issues addressed, and after two years all bets are off.

I'm not sure how long Apple supports their overly expensive things these days, but I will not be surprised if they at some point declare only 3 years of support from introduction. It would mean more money, and they know people will payup.
I am increasingly annoyed by it -- especially when Apple hardware, commendably, kind of can last forever these days. But at some point while the hardware may still be completely usable, it will stop running the latest OS. Which, with OS's only really supported for (depending on how you look at it) 1 to 3 years, isn't great. There haven't for years really been any features I wanted in new OS versions, just have to upgrade to stay on the maintainence treadmill.
I don’t know OP but perhaps they simply needed a job?
Years ago I saw someone describe Dwarf Fortress as "more like reading a book than watching a movie". That is to say that you're given the information in a minimal, symbolic way and then the heavy lifting in creating the mental image is done by your imagination.

Fwiw, I did try using various graphical tilesets over the years but went back to the old-school glyphs (or rather the unicode setup that lets you run the game in a normal terminal).
All of the sudden with Musk's takeover of Twitter and the tech crunch causing layoffs in many companies we have senior engineers and managers suggesting that maybe engineers shouldn't enjoy all the "perks" of the industry like not working 50+ hs, accept low-ball offers from recruiters or even forget about office perks like _free coffee_.

I'm sure they are savoring this moment when they can "put the peasants on their place" but if they keep pulling the rope they are going to find themselves with a tech union that will grind their businesses to a halt forever
How can you even get started with AWS without entering payment details? I would love to use AWS for personal projects if I could guarantee it will just stop service outright I stead of charging me.

But for that you need a personal domain and the ability to configure something like that, whereas everyone in a corporation that runs their email through Google can use the +abc thing out of the box, and I've seen it used a ton. The goal with measures like that is usually not to catch every single one who tries to game the free tier but to ensure it's more inconvenient to do so than just buy it for most people, and typically filtering +abc emails will be just one of several different measures taken to that end.
>just because an argument's a logical fallacy, that doesn't make it incorrect. //

An argument that uses fallacious reasoning is an incorrect argument, but pointing out a fallacy doesn't negate a conclusion (that would be the fallacy fallacy).

So, we can't tell if the conclusion is wrong when someone uses a fallacy.

I'm guessing your link laid it out clearly.
It is fairly obvious Musk’s business decisions only make sense in the context of dismantling Twitter.
It's nighttime and there is no wind. That's the downside of extrapolating from real-time data.

A couple of highlights from Australia's energy transition story in the last few days, which show some of the work being done at state level in spite of a largely renewables-hostile federal government over the last several years:

> the Western Australia grid ... reached 82 per cent renewables for a half-hour period on October 30 ... and it is likely that new peak is the highest for any gigawatt-scale grid in the world.

> South Australia ... has established the world’s highest share of renewables – as a percentage of demand – in any gigawatt scale grid in the world, when it reached 146 per cent on September 14. The excess is, of course, exported to the neighbouring state, in this case Victoria.

> [NSW is seeking] solutions on replacing 10GW of coal capacity that is likely to leave the grid within the next decade.

> Those plans are being accelerated by fast-tracked closures of the main coal generators, including Liddell early next year, Eraring in 2025, and Bayswater as early as 2030. Vales Point is expected to close by 2029, leaving Mt Piper with the only uncertain closure time.

That diagram only shows waste heat when converting to electricity.

So if fossil fuels get converted to electricity it shows the roughly 50% loss, but if they're used in cars it doesn't show the 80% loss.

Electrifying everything makes a big difference, so much so that people quoting primary energy figures rather than final energy (the stuff we actually use to do stuff) are liars.

And this diagram, which is misrepresenting transport fuel as if it was final energy is also misleading for similar reasons.
It's a matter of will of course. The EU talks a lot about digital sovereignty and right now, with a lot of people looking for alternatives to twitter, they have an incredible chance to advance that.
These types of things always make me chuckle. There are many aspects of '80s and '90s computing for which I'll wax nostalgic, but the monochrome CRTs are not among them. One could hardly have designed a better instrument for destroying eyesight, and I wince every time I need to pull out my lone remaining VT420 for anything.
That's correct, it was finite difference methods. There are many variations with different properties such as whether they'll definitely converge or not.

Ask HN: How to Transition into Programming
Hey everyone, I have a couple of related questions about moving into tech as a programmer.

My background:
I have worked all my life on the strategic business side of things. I have worked in growth / marketing related roles and done everything from operational things like performance marketing and content creation up to leading marketing teams.

Also I have worked in consulting for corporates at a huge consulting firm and I have worked briefly in Sales at stripe (internship 2022 summer).

Last year I have done a coding bootcamp and became proficient in Ruby on Rails Web Development. I did it to better understand developers and product teams when I worked with them.

Now I feel more and more that I want to move towards programming as my main job.

And here we come to my questions
1) Has anyone here done a similar transition and can share their biggest pitfalls I should look out for?
2) What resources can anyone here recommend to not just be able to program, but to understand it at a deep level (I often feel stuck in tutorial hell, where I can do what is shown to me, but don't feel that I understand it well enough)
3) Which companies are most friendly to take someone like me? Should I rather go for startups or mid-sized tech companies?
4) How realistic is it to get into FAANG with my background?

all the best and thanks for the help!
Boatmurdered had me laughing out loud. I really wanted to get into DF, but the learning curve stopped me.

I wrote to some friends earlier:

> The World is about to end. Dwarf Fortress GUI version to release December 6…

I am scared now. :)
The problem of the salary job overtime scam is one of an employer misrepresenting a job to be equivalent to other jobs to ultimately get more value for less money, it has nothing to do with different parts of the job market having lower bargaining power. If the software industry fails, the scam is entirely unnecessary.
So your white collar friends are going to sit and enjoy life while the good times roll but flee the second hard times come? If I had a friend that only came over for a BBQ and couldn't be bothered to help me in a time of need, that isn't a friend...

Sounds like there are deeper issues than "conservative" politics in the nation.
It would be hard to defend it as "transformative" while it's still possible to get it to spit out large blocks of verbatim (or near-verbatim) copies.

That is, the way GitHub describes Copilot working might pass as fair use. The way it (sometimes) works in real-life will not.
It works on text "runs", so there will only ever be two choices. In the case you describe there's no way to choose only bold, or only link... you would need to revert to standard rich text dancing for that.
I don't use Twitter but seen numerous tweets cited in all the other media I consume.

Twitter is sort of backbone, fairly useless on it's own, but important for what it enables in wider context.

The original post from the ex CEO of Waze is gone. But I found a news article covering it. https://www.timesofisrael.com/waze-ceo-noam-bardin-explains-...

Basically, it was a branded product and had active user base. Part of the acquisition was to give them autonomy to continue Waze as it was.
From what? Russia is not planning to invade the EU.
> “You give up salary for huge amounts of autonomy.”

I heard otherwise from a staff scientist at a university in biological sciences, though I’m not sure how representative his view is. He said that non-professors lack research autonomy, and even then, there are limitations of what one can fund due to grants (though I’m not sure how accurate this is, as I used to assume that academic grants generally had fairly flexible conditions for using the funding).
This documentary goes into some background of the Sirui people: https://imdb.com/title/tt13655156/
A good habit for "fact checking" groups would be to NOT give the "right answer" in a case like this. Pointing out the error (yearly vs. lifetime) is good enough. No need to try to be an ad-hoc social scientist giving quick answers to questions that are probably not easy - or at least, if you want to do it, do it on a regular account.
I've been wondering about the handling of PR / legal / moderation issues on The Fediverse. Surely if it becomes popular, those burdens will fall on the shoulders of well-intentioned volunteers who just wanted to run a server, who will generally be ill-equipped to deal with them? I guess it could be OK if you're running a small invite-only server for people you know, but not sure how it's going to work for larger instances. Which, looking at the history of email, are probably where most people will want to be.
Yes it's too complicated. It's horrible. It's the Windows of cloud services, surpassed in obscurity and nastiness only by Microsoft's own Azure, which is a nightmare.

In both cases, the UI and UX designers should be shot. I understand that they are supporting a lot of complicated things. It's a huge fail, unusable by anyone who hasn't dedicated their lives to learning.
Suggest some problems that encountered in daily basis of the people or problems encountered your self.
The issue isnt just maintenance - its a lot of specialist parts will have a shelf life of 5-10 years then you will be lucky to find them. An example being with custom headsets on frames - you'll not get a replacement and the frame will be end of life
I think you missed the point here. Although it sounds like you are passionate about online activism.
Regardless of the sentiments of the criticism, the fact is it’s irresponsible on the China part. You seem to downplay that fact. If you want to be balanced that’s the first thing you’d need to acknowledge. And no, it is uncontrolled. No questions about it.

No matter how small the risk, countries have to make plan, allocate resources, keeping track of the rocket’s path, in case it does happen. They can’t just pray. Spain briefly closed part of their airspace, delaying 300 flights. Who is responsible for that?

Whether or not AWS is overly complicated, I don’t think this is a good example.

Any decent api should have some kind of signatures which work roughly like:

signature = hmac_sha256(secret, url+payload+time+etc)
set_header(…, auth_header(signature))

And the point is to prove that you know the key without sending it to AWS / your logs, and to prove that the request came from someone with the key ;and not eg someone replaying a message from logs which was either old or modified).

Most of the mess seems to be due to AWS wanting to limit the power of the secrets that they store, presumably in case they’re compromised. You can get a reasonably good idea of their architecture by looking at how you construct the derived secret – each inner layer will be more tightly controlled than the one around it.

> I mean, I don't know about you, but, last time I checked, signatures, certificates, security and all that stuff IS SUPPOSED to be super complicated because it's a subject with a very high inherent complexity in and of itself.

Actually, security is not supposed to be complicated. "Complicated" is the anti-thesis of "secure".

I wonder if their weak interaction with matter could hint they interact with dark matter more than matter. If so, maybe we’d see (inverse) statistical differences between neutrino sources and dark matter halos?

Is it possible to get a "[Paywall]" indicator on links in HN?

FT is merciless, everything seems to be behind the paywall.
HTTP signatures ensure that you can't send a message and spoof the user/instance that it's coming from. Think of it like DKIM for AP.

They commonly include the specific actor who is interacting with the network (via the instance), so we can also achieve correct-side enforcement of blocks.

Doing a succession fortress with your friends, just like Boatmurdered, can be great fun (until someone fills the attic with lava, Zach). In the video linked above I believe they even mention a feature designed to make it easier to share the save between friends to make it easier to play succession games.

EDIT: from https://youtu.be/uE-FCtGdwMI?t=2425 :

"We have a new system where you can group your saves by timeline. It's mainly for the title screen but it also lets you share them with people in different ways. [...] So you can have your own little Boatmurdered experience."
I think, hidden within this question is another question: are we getting paid enough for this kind of complexity? Complexity takes it's toll on the brain. I'll gladly jump through all hoops that a sdk/frameworks/platform want me to if I'm paid sufficiently.
The chart Figure 2-1 Comparison of current cost estimates with previous work also has wind power, which is also cheaper than coal, and has been for longer than solar has.

Plus, Australia has hydro, which can be varied to fill the gaps.

> Greater confidence in role of wind and solar PV: GenCost previously included a Diverse
technology scenario which explored the case where deployment of variable renewables was more
limited and other technologies played a larger role. Stakeholder feedback received during AEMO’s
2020-21 Australian scenario development process found that it was unlikely that alternative
technologies will be able to compete in a significant way with renewables. This reflects relatively
uncompetitive gas prices, a lack of confidence in the future cost competitiveness of CCS
technologies and abundant low-cost renewable resources.

Their 2030 forcasts also include costs for grid integration for different percentages of variable renewable.
Has this all been introspection, or are there external resources (like books) you used?
Pretty sure :) I submitted this story a month ago when Bike first released this feature and only got 3-4 upvotes. Very pleased and surprised to see it generating interest today.
Just to add to this: it’s even more important to spend some time outside in daylight if it’s cloudy that day and there’s no direct sunlight.
If you fired a gun into the air in the UK I'm pretty sure that a) You'd get in pretty serious trouble for it by itself and b) if you killed or injured someone that trouble would be significantly multiplied to the extent you'd end up in prison. I think it would be a manslaughter charge.
I have been having a lot of fun lately telling bedtime stories to my kids (ages 5 and 3). It's a collaborative improv effort with my 5yo since he likes to chime in with suggestions.

The fun part for me is incorporating various mathematical and programming concepts into the storie like functions and boolean logic.

Last night's story involved a subtraction function that would spit out negative M&Ms if too few regular M&Ms were supplied as the input. The characters learned that they had to store their regular M&Ms separately from the negative ones in order to avoid a cancelling-out reaction if they came into contact with each other.

Tonight we will explore what comes out when negative M&Ms go into the subtraction function.

Another popular plot line in these stories involves a baby gate with a filter function that controls who can go through. The functions have gotten more and more complicated as my 5yo gets familiar with the concept, and now I have an idea for a baby gate code injection exploit that I'm excited to tell.

I've posted a few polished versions of these stories to my blog and hope to add more soon.

We had ~10 years of a government in the pocket of fossil fuel companies. It’s that simple. Our last PM brought a piece of coal into parliament as a prop, telling everyone that they shouldn’t be afraid of it. The bloke genuinely took the “let God deal with it” strategy, which is more palatable or at least common in the US, but was quite jarring here.

With a new government and increased market pressures, the tides are turning, quite erratically though, because of time/market pressure, mismanagement, incompetence, opportunistic capitalists, and whatever else.
