I thought the tag editor was where one could get a comprehensive inventory of account resources? (Unable to check as I don't currently have easy access to the AWS console)


Yea it’s ok for that but won’t list everything. Example: ec2 snapshots won’t show up in the aws:config report but you will be charged for it, so Cost and Usage reports will show you what you will be charged for.


Without mentorship / guidance, how are you supposed to know that K&R and / or Petzold (and maybe A. S. Tanenbaum?) are where it's at, and everything else is arguably a waste of your time? Almost every programming book I encountered seemed intent on making the computer appear mysterious and esoteric which did not help me feel empowered to explore.


I even got to K&R. Types, variables, input and output made sense to young me. Pointers made sense but I couldn't wrap my head around why, and then I was stuck with "what next". For years everything next I could find (like writing a windows application) was way over my head and any "step 2" was completely elusive.


That was PageRank flexing its capability. There were lots of sites with reams of honeypot text that caught the other search engines.


Is "paternal twins" a linguistic borrowing of some sort? It seems a relatively novel form of what I've mostly seen referred to as monozygotic / 'identical' twins. Searching for some kind of semi-canonical confirmation of its widespread use turns up one, maybe two articles where it's treated as an orthodox term, and at least an equal number of discussions admonishing its use.


If anything I would expect the term “maternal” twin to be used as whether or not a twin is monozygotic or “identical” depends on the amount of eggs from the mother.


Having done exactly this math for GStreamer bindings in JavaScript (where the built in numeric types are double or nothing), this would also be my prime suspect.


The trough of disillusionment carved out by grifters burning the peat of enthusiasm unsustainably.


In my experience, great accomplishment emerges from both a significant quantity of effort and vision, and a critical injection of serendipity where the universe conspires to feed the craftsman critical nudges that elevate the work beyond the original intent.

I also find that those that have accomplished "greatness" without having drowned in their own kool-aid will speak candidly about the ambiguities encountered, the stuff that "worked better than it had any right to", and the aspects where satisfaction continues to elude them.

Assuming that Michalangelo was such a person, while I doubt there would be much left he found unsatisfactory in his work on the ceiling (or he wouldn't have allowed himself to be finished), I would expect a wealth of stories of his tribulations, and a number of unexpected avenues that provided sanity restoring inspiration for an outcome that _was_ satisfactory.


Hmm … That doesn’t really answer the question

Nobody disagrees that a host of factors are at play with any major breakthroughs

However, much like Engels stated when discussing his relationship with Marx, Marx in his view was a genius that didn’t need Engels and could have done it all himself. So there really are individuals that we can point to that did the work and have demonstrated their individual inputs were far and beyond the deciding factor in success or not.

If anything the elucidation, of the “trials and tribulations” emphasize the difficulty and exceptional talent required to accomplish it


A beligerent that so completely outclasses their opponent that they can inflict existentially threatening losses with so little effort that its expenditure is indistinguishable from normal overhead

Alternatively, when Stitches managed to ambush your level appropriate character alone in Duskwood


1G huge pages had (have?) performance benefits on managed runtimes for certain scenarios (Both the JIT code cache and the GC space saw uplift on the SpecJ benchmarks if I recall correctly)

If using relatively large quantities of memory 2M should enable much higher TLB hit rates assuming the CPU doesn't do something silly like only having 4 slots for pages larger than 4k ¬.¬


'Costly' doesn't seem to require that O(k) be non-constant:
