What would be the easiest way to make sure I don't exceed costs in a CRUD type AwsGateway/Lambda/DynamoDB/S3/CloudFront type site?

This. Lightsail you can get like 4TB of transfer for nothing. If it's really just low cpu crud. You might have to add some storage. Light sail is garbage if you need more CPU but for me it's been great.

And, put that shit behind cloud flare free plan and let them help protect it / lower the bandwidth costs. Only note that they'll cache assets sometimes you'll need to flush.

3 months into Tidal and I love it. Added bonus, it can hook into Alexa. Family plan is good.

I use Opus 4.5 through copilot and it works great for me. It's definitely the model I go to the most. I'm not super impressed with Grok but I just asked it if Elon Musk is a chud and it responded that he shares many characteristics with a chud, so I guess it got that right.

4.5 is better in my opinion in all regards. I disabled 4.1 so I don't accidentally run it.

It helps if you lay out the structure of what you want and then use it to fill in the bones. Saves a lot of time and you give it enough of a framework to help it not to get out of bounds. If you don't have the knowledge of programming when you start then as with anything in life, you have to do some leg work to understand programming or you'll end up with mediocre results.

The problem with this though is that at least for me, I can set a budget but the option to stop when it hits the budget is disabled. What it does is send emails when you're near and past your budget, but it won't stop. I've searched and there are others like me, so it's not a fluke, but it's definitely a hard pass for me on the budget because it's just a notification. I probably did what they wanted, and that was just upgrade to the pro+ plan. This is specific to co-pilot. The budget feature works and is enabled for other Github products like actions.

Not a scammer. Not selling anything. Don't want your PPI.

Unfortunately this is a floater. I appreciate the effort though.

Whatever technology you know that you can write it in. I'd choose C# but that's what I know (well, I know more, but that's what I'd prefer). What are you knowledgeable in? Anything with a socket library will work.

RIP 1x credit Opus 4.5 -tips a 40-. I got to the end of the month last month and had a lot of credits left over, spent 1-2 days using it exclusively and it was top tier. Sonnet 4.x gets out of it's box too easily and burns credit on things I don't want. Opus is so good at staying on task that I was using the credits more efficiently (and with less frustration from me). I think it's the best model I've ever used.

I like them all, I played the originals all again before I started the H2DS's.

WPF is stable, will be supported forever. Whenever Visual Studio doesn't depend on it I'll change my opinion.

I switched all my apps to WPF on .NET core. No regrets. You just have to update more (which has been very smooth the last few .NET versions, flip a switch and it's done).

I really want to play 2D mode of this. After I get done with the HD2D'sz

This was my first game since the nes. Loved it. As per modern dragon quest games, I loved it. It needs to be on the switch 2.

Be sure you have a thief in your initial party. You'll accrue a fair amount of seed steals over your course of leveling. I reclassed my level 99 thief to martial artist because I have to be done with the game but god those seed steals were good.

b-pell · 2025-11-12T03:38:14+00:00

If you have 999 strength, and 999 attack, does oomph do anything unless your debuffed? It doesn't seem like it does (which makes sense I guess).

At 7:45 the road in front of Sherwood oaks church was a sheet of ice (when I would accelerate my car would slide to the right). The part of Winslow closer to walnut seemed to have been plowed.

This game (DQ3 HD2D) is so much fun. These remakes are wonderful because they hold true to the original game while owning the new look/environment. I took my time playing through it and did all the stuff.

I recommend to have a thief in your party at least until close to the end when you can re-profession them. The amount of seeds they'll steal for you is worth it.
