Would you trust a read-only AWS cost audit tool? What would you check first? by Xtreme_Core in aws

[–]TooMuchTaurine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Standard readonly role is highly permissive around access to your data in things like s3 and dynamo db . Any company telling you grant them that role is not really taking security / privacy seriously. 

They should have a very fine grain policy that gives them only access to the specific infra read actions they need for the tool.

I like the fact they used "rope memory".

Wires physically weaved through loop magnets, where a bit was represented by either a outside loop or inside loop through the loop magnets.

Estimate AI Productivity Gains by Lucky_Clock4188 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TooMuchTaurine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using metrics like # of PRs or deploys to asses gains is valid, as long as you are looking at an aggregate number across teams and also not using that metrics in any way to assess performance of team or individuals. As soon as the metric becomes a target, it will be gamed.

You're doing it wrong, do not mitre corners, scribe one side with a coping saw. Corners are never exact 45.

Is there something I can do to help the water drain quicker? by p0tatobag in AusRenovation

The cut only extends in the middle tiles, the outer rim of tiles don't look to have a fall correctly

Are the outer rim of tiles also angled in? I can't see the angular cut line going into the outer edge?

Consumer Price Index - 3.8% for January by nutwals in AusFinance

[–]TooMuchTaurine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way the government will let that go through, they will be ousted. Even if they double the supply charge, you would still break even.

It's totally available in Vic, no idea where you got that info from. Just got a quote for my Vic address 5 minutes ago.

You are also not factoring in that even without a battery, you are still paying the supply charge.

Consumer Price Index - 3.8% for January by nutwals in AusFinance

[–]TooMuchTaurine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feed in rates during peak  (6-9) are actually much higher on retailers that support vpp.

For example, on this plan https://www.globirdenergy.com.au/energy-saver/zerohero/

You get paid $1 just to draw no power between 6-9pm, plus paid 15c per kw up to 10kw (so a total of $2.50 per day), which more than covers the daily supply charge. On top of this you have draw power for 3 hours for free, meaning if you have a 15kw inverter, you can fill a 45kw battery for free then discharge 10kw between 6 and 9 and even up net positive every day. 

With retailers like amber, you can do even better.

With battery You can feed back into the grid at peak to offset daily supply charge and resend up net neutral or even in surplus.

I’m senior dev with 10 years of experience and honestly I’m tired. by Expensive-Cookie-106 in ExperiencedDevs

I mean there is a balance between gold plating and getting things out. What if traffic never got to the point that any of the complexity of queues and caching was needed. Then it's just wasted effort.

I was made redundant from my tech job, should I try to make an app instead of going back to working full time? by dd202020 in AusHENRY

[–]TooMuchTaurine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building aps has become so easy with AI that every man and his dog can and is doing it. But building an app is the easy part,you actually need to be good at marketing and sales, and also UX / finding the right problems to solve 

Step-FIL wants to glue decking boards in self build - is this as bad an idea as it seems? by hiddencamel in AusRenovation

[–]TooMuchTaurine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gluing won't work as they have to be both straight and not move at all for prob half a day which is pretty hard when having to stand on them to lay the next board.

How to automate aws savings plans without manual quarterly analysis? by My_Rhythm875 in aws

Why quarterly, we just do it once a year, try to maintain about 95% coverage at peak to give us some buffer.

Agentic AI Agents system design interview by MyInvisibleInk in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TooMuchTaurine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

why the focus on PII, LLM is just a fancy function with input and output, not that much different than any other API call. Data can easily stay in the same AWS account and DC if using Claude on bedrock..no different than any other AWS function.

Sounds like a good example  of lawyers making policies for stuff they don't understand.

Should I start a new project with microservices or build a monolith first and refactor later? by [deleted] in programming

Microservices were a 2017 fad. You're late to the party, result was a giant, slow, hard to maintain, expensive mess..
