Clearly you didn’t take the axiom of choice. Because otherwise you could have chosen to not make that monstrosity

Google Docs is the worst IDE ever

BGP isnt just Turing complete, It’s Cthulhu complete

real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I’m never touching C again)

The amount of ink that comes with an inkjet printer is tiny. So a new printer comes with 10mL of ink, and the refills are 35mL or more. You quite literally get what you pay for.

The other reason is that inkjet printers need to be used on a regular basis, or the ink can dry out. But manufacturers have handled this by having the printer drip out tiny bits of ink all the time, so it’s literally using the ink even when you aren’t using it.

For the vast majority of people, a cheap laser printer is the far better option. Unless you want to produce art prints, but at that point you’re looking at spending a ton of money anyways.

I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.

Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.

The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most

How very noble

Strongly agree. A guide for dead simple setups would be incredibly useful (e.g. gsuite as idp, oauth for a single app).

It took me a few days to get that basic setup working, and a few days more to improve it. But once it was up, it was rock solid.

Keycloak might seem a little daunting to start with, but is basically glue between your idp (ldap) and whatever apps need to authenticate.

A newt?!

Many cloud providers (the cheap ones in particular) will put patches on top of the base distro, so sometimes root always gets a password. Even for Ubuntu.

There are ways around this, like proper cloud-init support, but not exactly beginner friendly.

How many tokens fit in your context window?

Clearly your gender field is a boolean. Which means it can be either true, false, null, or undefined. Except in javascript where for some reason it can sometimes be NaN, but only when you try to compare two people.

I think you’re over exaggerating the effort needed for tagging resources. Between terraform/pulumi/cdk and the tag tool, it’s relatively easy to make sure everything is tagged. Doubly so if you have a finance department who’s literal job is to go through and do that (or ask you for help with it)

You can get a full itemized bill. The only thing that isn’t fully broken out are elastic ips. We found that out because we were tagging everything for billing and those weren’t showing up correctly.

Mind you, it’s likely a bit more itemized than you want. Like you’ll see a separate line item for each price tier you paid for something, and things like ebs disks are all split out. It can be a bit…much.

When I was a young dev
My senior took me into the city
To push my code to prod
He said "Son, when you promo
Would you be the savior of the broken
The buggy and the OOM'd?"

Bottom rack retail workers distributing replica weaponry is hardly a good basis for a system of government

Half grandfathered in from a period when UK was a commonwealth, and ANZAC were not technically independent.

ISO-3166-1 has a lot of “countries” that aren’t actually independent - but useful to have codes for because they are geographically distinct.

ccTLDs are based on the ISO two letter country codes - it’s deferring the responsibility for cleaning up the British mess to ISO
