It depends on the instance. If you use up the burst capacity, you will notice. The very bottom end only allows about 5% usage before the throttling kicks in. There's a chart here:

I make a point not to argue with stupid people. And instead, everybody I help with their computer, I show them adblockers, paywall bypassers, anti-trackers, and other user-enabling tech.

Computers act against the intentions of most people because they're not aware of their choices. So I help show them what is available and to use them.

The anti-adblocker crowd is just plain stupid. And from being a system engineer for many years, you can't fix stupid.
This is at least partially related to the change in the rules for the US EV tax credits. The price cap and manufacturing country restrictions mean that many buyers are seeing $7500-10000 added to their net price. Price elasticity isn’t zero, even for luxury buyers

I remember reading the story about Lauren Southern a few days ago, they banned her parents because they didn't like Lauren's politics (shes a very polarizing figure). I totally get bans when a guest damages property or breaks rules, but the whole reason this got kicked up in the news because that ban was just so overtly political.

Why China keeps building coal power plants
The apps I made were very CPU and Network intensive- in one case it was a web crawler[1], the other was a github application that had to scan and review repositories fairly often[2]. CPU ended up being the ultimate bottleneck, and Linode performed far better.

I'm 41 and just getting into game development. I've been kind of weighing my options for awhile, and waiting for Godot 4 to come out. This is rad.

The only complaint I have is that the scale of the GUI is ridiculous. It's not like I'm running some crazy resolution. Why is it so small? Why hasn't it been complained into options to scale it? I literally cannot read the project creation interface without using Windows zoom.
I don't really have the space for Thrill of the Fight, rhythm boxing and rhythm slicing are fairly stationary, so I don't have to worry about crashing into anything.
> ChatGPT seems to be very good at generating cards btw

So you can get very good at memorizing occassionally incorrect information? If I'm going to put in the effort to drill information into my brain with spaced-repetition, I have a high bar for the accuracy of that information.

I hand write all my cards, and think it's commonly accepted that the manual process of producing the cards is an important first step in the memorization process.

I've been paying the same price for my Linode server for about 10 years. This seems fair.
Hopefully their wages will rise significantly.
Hum... You don't get a choice on where you can stop. Most software requires #1 and #2 to be sustainable, but yes you can do a lot of it with #1 alone for some time. But there also exist software that needs all of those other options from the bare beginning, or they won't fulfill their job.
In the U.S. condos are always owned by individuals, but the word "apartment" can mean different things depending on where you live. In the suburbs, people tend to use the word "apartment" to always mean a rental, but in most dense cities, you can absolutely "buy an apartment" - they use the term like Australia to refer to the form of construction which can either be rented or purchased.
> You could run a web server on your own computer. AI technology seems highly centralized from the start.

I compare the current AI hype to the mainframes of the past. Highly centralised systems that people logged into with a lightweight terminal to send commands.

Hopefully just like Personal Computers revolutionized computing, Personal AI models in the future will not run in the cloud...
I suppose the next step beyond surveillance capitalism, given the application of language models to robotic actuators [1], but also as a general trend, will be jobless capitalism.

Nowadays, companies and politicians, if one could make such a distinction just for the sake of the argument, will always tout the "job creation" aspect of a certain capitalistic endeavour. Give it a few months/years and we will hear the phrase "job elimination" more and more, from cashiers becoming "consultants" to the elimination of 90+% of interface jobs and beyond: does there really need to be a human hand to push the button for espresso? does there really need to be a bipedal human to move a package from A to B in a warehouse?

BISO and CISO are generally not the same. A BISO function tends to be an interface between information security and business units.
It really depends on what you want to do. We hire folks from dev backgrounds all the time and many stick around and enjoy it. If you get pushed into some corporate app sec role where you aren't doing interesting problem solving, I do not recommend it. If you get to really dig into security problems and challenges using engineering and technical skills you have acquired, yes, it is still fun. You get to take apart other people's puzzles (apps/code) and there are tons of opportunities for automation, scripting, writing tools, etc. It is an awesome field to grow in when you have a lot of hard CS and development skills and can apply them meaningfully. That makes things pretty narrow in terms of roles out there that check all of the boxes I mentioned, but, yes, it is still interesting and fun. Look at all the cool things people have done with fuzzing over the last 5-10 years, starting with AFL which really changed the game. Now people do fuzzing with VMs (qemu) etc. Just a ton of really cool stuff that a solid C/C++ dev can really dig into and play with :)
Lol, in a sense. At least now he actually arrived.

Seriously though, mostly waiting on getting the design document and was hoping for Godot 4 to be the clear way forward. I've only done smaller projects with 3.x and lots of experimentation and preparation for these larger projects, so it is a bit disappointing to see that all rendered useless by the sheer amount of breaking changes unless I decide to stick with a now outdated engine.
More than that, Polestar is a Volvo.
If you’re going to convince mobile developers to use Tauri, at least invest some time in showcasing a good enough example. How do the apps do navigation? How do they store data for offline usage? How about networking? How can I access camera or hardware features?

Tauri might be the bees knees and cross platform toolkits are cool but I’m not seeing anything worthwhile in this blogpost.
Are the states without enough electricians making more reasonable licensing standards for becoming an electrician? You can offer $1M for electricians but if there's only a certain number of apprentice slots and you have to go through either the union or a few well guarded paths you're still fucked.
I'm curious what you think makes them dangerous?
Asking for a friend: Would it be a good idea for the average jaded tech worker to learn to be an electrician? Why or why not?

Pretend we're talking about someone on the low end of programming knowledge, the kind of tech worker who might be made obsolete by AI.
Maybe if we stopped looking down on people because of the color of their collar, we wouldn't be having these problems. Just a thought.
A few suggestions to counter how lonely modern society can be. (1) If you're religious, get as involved as much as possible with your community, if you aren't, but are kind of searching, and not opposed to organised religion, try going to various religious events see what people believe and if its for you. (2) Learn, or pick back up, a musical instrument and join an amateur group - anything from formal e:g local wind band / brass band / orchestra , to an informal band, advertising for a member at guitar shop or online. If you can't find anything, place an ad yourself, people will reply for sure (3) Volunteer. e:g Feeding homeless Or get involved in some community thing or positive local politics, making locality better, possibly environmental activism of a kind even if just getting some trees planted to improve an area, (4) Avoid living in posh places where people are "aspirational" , where managers live, (this is not a problem for people who can't afford that in the first place ;) ) instead live somewhere with more soul, more blue collar, where people need each other more, reach out to each other more, have jobs that are more about serving others than "using" them. Just my 2p, YMMV.
Doesn't LightSail rely on t-family (burstable) instances? If so, that's probably because your projects' regular sustained usage do not go above the minimum threshold (which is fairly low).
Since the name change. To be fair, they bought Linode a year ago.
I just cracked the screen on my Pixel 5a yesterday and ordered an Xperia 10 IV this morning to replace it thanks to this thread. I've owned an Xperia Z3 Compact and Z5 Compact previously and was quite happy with them. In fact the Z5C still does bicycle computer duty today. I paid all of $340 for the (brand new) Xperia 10 IV. Not sure how that's not a competitive price for the features and quality you get.
> The Inflation Reduction Act, enacted in August, set a $35 price cap on insulin products for Medicare recipients.

> "While the current healthcare system provides access to insulin for most people with diabetes, it still does not provide affordable insulin for everyone and that needs to change," David Ricks, chair and CEO of Eli Lilly, said in a statement.

They only did it because a law forced them, then the CEO makes these kind of statements like it comes from corporate benevolence. I hate corporations.
Can confirm. I'm really bullish about VR's potential but almost never use it.

Hi, I’m Cameron. I’ve been programming for my own projects for 12 years, and professionally for four. I’m comfortable and experienced in teaching myself whatever I need to solve the problem in front of me, and a polyglot who’s tinkered with Python, Lua and a little Haskell and Racket in addition to the languages I’ve worked with in the past.

Previously worked as a backend developer for two years on Bedful, a SaaS booking management system for campsites, and then for about one year as a full-stack developer at Hipcamp (Airbnb for camping) after that company was acquired.

I like having interesting problems to work on, whether that be some technical optimization or translating a thorny business context into software. Looking for an IC position where I get to do that, ideally surrounded by other competent and curious people and a culture that values learning and growth.

Also open to freelance and contract work.
Everyone can already create a game. There are tons of free and paid assets, along with mature no-code game development tools.

And I've heard from folks at established studios that they've been playing around with generative pipelines for asset creation.

But from my perspective, for the vast majority of games, programming and asset creation isn't what determines a successful or enjoyable game.

It's a mixture of core game mechanics, style, juice, developer follow-through, marketing, random chance, and whether or not it's "fun".

It’s hard work, but our mission has always been to ease the tension between security and convenience and help people navigate the digital world without fear or friction. Human-centric security is part of our DNA, but human-centricity is also the backbone of our culture. We encourage big ideas and new ways of working that help us to make the online world a safer place for everyone.

We're looking for a technical PM to join us in making 1Password indispensable to devs at every step in the SDLC. Fun team, fun people, and big ambitions with the largest funding round in Canadian history.

Linode has been such a great deal. Had been. I think the trick to saving money might be to find out how much RAM and CPU you actually need. If you really need the 20 cores and 96GB of RAM or whatever then that's another thing.
The dichotomy isn't between telemetry and no options vs. no telemetry and all options. Somehow a decision needs to be made what to include because everything has at least an opportunity cost, and historically that has usually been made by "common sense", i.e. what whoever is in charge feels like is the right set of options. That can work out great if you're very much like that person or able to influence them (and they want to listen), but if you aren't, too bad, and the vast majority of people out there is not in either position. Late 90s/2000s me was probably a huge lot less like those people than many here on HN, and I guess that explains some of the difference in experiences. I generally seem to be quite a lot like "most people", which makes an approach that targets the middle of the bell curve work well for me. I'm not a big fan of embedding surveillance technology in apps, but I'd say the people who do are on to something and what's missing may just be a more transparent and privacy-preserving way of doing it.
Something has got to give in North America, car prices have inflated but public transit costs and ridership in cities is at risk of a "death spiral", and there's a lot of people who can't afford the first who are going to be screwed by the second.

The same white collar workers that can afford the price of a new EV and have a place to charge it, are doing WFH now; they were also the same people doing daily commutes and paying into public transit which made it cheaper for everyone.

There's a point in the chart of real ecological outcomes where holding onto an older car is far more "eco-friendly" than buying a Tesla. It's imperative we take this into account now that we're seeing monstrosities like the Hummer EV. The new Hummer weighs over 9000 pounds, twice the weight of a Tesla. Giants like these and other electric trucks/SUVs could undo much of the progress we're seeing here.
AFAIK POP3 can be used in non-destructive mode, with some effort.
Doesn't matter for what/who? It's doesn't matter from the business angle since there isn't any competition that works better. But it definitely matters for me.

I am not okay with slow software, and being forced to use it is frankly insulting. Teams (to pick a punching bag) hogging my system resources doesn't impact its adoption since I'm forced to use it. Teams could be 10x slower and I'd probably still be forced to use it. But it wouldn't be because speed doesn't matter.
It's also worth noting that Shimano just announced the new CUES platform which unifies the 9, 10, and 11 speed drivetrains to make all of the various parts in that range cross-compatible. You already could mix-and-match in a lot of cases with a bit of creativity, but now it'll be an officially supported configuration and they're greatly cutting down on the number of unique parts.
Editor -> Editor Settings -> interface -> Display Scale
Doesn't OpenAI Nonprofit own (maybe only 51% now that Microsoft owns the other 49%) OpenAI? I don't know how these things work, but it's kinda like how there's the Mozilla Foundation (non-profit) and the Mozilla Corporation. As described on Wikipedia, "the Mozilla Corporation is a tax-paying entity, which gives it much greater freedom in the revenue and business activities it can pursue".

I think it's all quite shady, but it seems like the parent company, which in theory holds 51% of the "profit-capped" company, is still a non-profit.

I wish someone, ideally from OpenAI, would clarify the situation.
I had a feeling this was coming after they were acquired by Akamai. I'm so glad I purged all my unused idle Linode servers a few days ago.
I think it's true in that context, of similar buildings, with similar floors. People are clever, and can optimize repetitive work.

Out of context, I intended it to express an ideal, that we should strive to encapsulate our experience, of those similarities.

One barrier is insufficient data to formalize just what that similarity is, and how it applies across different scenarios, especially when hidden amongst other factors.

Arguably, ChatGPT is a way of capturing such similarities - though not in a library.

I agree your suggestion of standard practices is difficult to capture. They are a kind of language for communication with other programmers, so encapsulating them defeats their purpose. Debugging is another good one - if the same type of bug keeps coming up, can we automate it away? If so, is that solution "software".

Another task that is difficult to capture is defining the problem, because this involves the world, with all its detail and complexity to cut through - though some would say that "isn't software".
I’m no expert, but it’s my understanding that modern war uses huge amounts of ammunition for suppressive fire.
