Re:How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode on Tuesday April 30, 2024 @01:12PM (#40213398)
This note at https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing suggests otherwise:

> Generally, you are not charged for operations that return 307, 4xx, or 5xx responses. The exception is 404 responses returned by buckets with Website Configuration enabled and the NotFoundPage property set to a public object in that bucket.

Not in GCP if https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing is to be believed:

> Generally, you are not charged for operations that return 307, 4xx, or 5xx responses. The exception is 404 responses returned by buckets with Website Configuration enabled and the NotFoundPage property set to a public object in that bucket.

Re:Tmux and Vim – better together on Thursday April 20, 2017 @02:47PM (#14159587)
I use the bindings suggested in the Input section at https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim_terminal_emulator.html. Took a little getting used to but now I quite like them.

I've been using abduco and neovim as my dev environment for the past month or so and am very happy with the setup. I don't rely on mouse events so didn't notice that missing. Whenever I log in local or remote I start a new session or attach to the existing one with `abduco -A nvim nvim`.
Re:Development on a Chromebook: an opinionated guide on Sunday April 21, 2013 @12:32PM (#5585329)
Same here -- loving crouton, and development in general, on the ARM. I was already doing just about everything in the browser and terminal before I got the Chromebook, so I was happy to get a machine with, as simon_weber said, "Linux that just works." I assumed I would just ssh into my servers for development work, but crouton has given me a full local dev environment as well, so I have everything I need at this point.

Thanks for the article, Simon. My setup is pretty much the same, except that I haven't tried out mosh yet: https://gist.github.com/gsf/5377654.

This reminded me of http://www.scribtex.com/, where each LaTeX project is kept in a Git repo.

"Key stretching is essential."

Agreed. The article at http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/ is also convincing in this respect.

The design might work against the wall if the drawer were open in front. Crawling under the desk you would see the clutter of the cords, routers, power strips, etc., but access would be easier, and you wouldn't see the drawer much otherwise.

A drawer that was open only toward the front might also look better in an office setup where the back of the desk faces the room.

Re:Dear Dr. Stallman: An Open Letter on Saturday April 23, 2011 @10:59PM (#2478178)
I wonder how many 24-year-old CS students have given this same advice to Stallman in the last 25 years. Not that Alexey shouldn't voice his thoughts, but it's well-trod ground.
