On the other hand, when they say something is in us-west-2 they mean it, so if another region has an outage your workloads aren't impacted unless your code is reaching out to that region.

Guessing that's similar on the other clouds.

A lot of cloud services sorta work the same way. AWS and Azure are pay per request for all sorts of things, I figured that was the model the inference providers were following.

Is the problem that the app was written with AI assistance or that it's low-effort/bad? I don't care if you used Claude to fix a bug or something if you have a cool app, but i do care if you vibe coded something I could've vibe coded in an hour. That's boring.

Feels like effort needs to be the barrier (which unfortunately needs human review), not "AI or not". In lieu of that, 100 karma or account minimum age to post something as Show HN might be a dumb way to do it (to give you enough time to have read other people's so you understand the vibe).

Having been the person that used to support those packages, it’s not that simple. You need to pass what workloads you need installed too, and if it’s a project you’re not familiar with god help you.

I used to just install the desktop development one and then work through the build errors until I got it to work, was somewhat painful. (Yes, .vsconfig makes this easier but it still didn’t catch everything when last I was into Windows dev).

Wonder if there's a way to make the popular email clients (outlook/gmail) re-sort conversation view so that the newest reply is at the bottom.

then enforce it by policy across the org, and watch the chaos as people read before speaking.

It's the boards. GitHub issues doesn't let you do all the arcane nonsense Azure DevOps' boards let you do.

Isn’t that a feature?

A feature for devs, but I have often been told management is paid by the required field on tickets.

I just got some Heroku socks like two months ago at an event, they must've killed it at the start of the year. Weird.

You can and can’t, at least in AWS. For instance, you can’t launch a EC2 to a point you can ssh in less than 8-10 seconds (and it takes a while to get EBS to sync the entire disk from s3).

Many a time I have tried to figure a self scaling EC2 based CI system but could never get everything scaled and warm in less than 45 seconds, which is sucky when you’re waiting on a job to launch. These microvm as a service thingys do solve a problem.

(You could use lambda, but that’s limited in other ways).

Notably, it's a VPN for connecting your own devices together, so unless you're deploying a server elsewhere for access to porn it's probably not for that.

you can pay for the mullvad add-on to use their exit nodes

You can also just use Mullvad

That’s Dec 2024

Weird. On my end it says January 2026.
