MightySCollins··on Ask HN: What is your experience with Claude 3.5?
I have really been enjoying using it. It seems very good at handling simple but time consuming problems although I find longer chats it seems to forget about the previous code and gets muddled. I am using it in Zed and also with a Claude account as I find I can hit the daily limit when using it for a few hours.

I only checked HN as I started getting service unavailable error pages in the middle of it helping me rewrite some code.

Only really tried it with embedded C and Next.js stuff and it can make a few unsafe mistakes but when I need a helper function it is much quicker than me finding one myself.

MightySCollins··on Vercel: Improved Infrastructure Pricing
It’s a e-commerce style site with ISR. Product pages are cached for 24h with pricing fetched on the client to save the revalidate. I think I worked out what the price increase is though and it’s the edge network £2.40 (London) per million requests. From what I can tell most requests are bots and scrapers so it might not be too easy reduce. The pricing actually seems quite high when compared to other CDNs but I might have misunderstood it.
MightySCollins··on Vercel: Improved Infrastructure Pricing
The tone of the email was a bit strange for a $960 a year increase suggesting we optimise but not yet providing what the cost increases are from. I appreciate we will get the updated usage metrics later in the month but it makes it slightly hard to explain to management why costs are increasing.

Most of our increases I assume will be the data cache pricing and the only real way to optimise that is to move data fetching out of data cache and use our own cheaper caching layer.

MightySCollins··on AWS Console Unavailable
Yep also getting from London
MightySCollins··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
We also jumped over for this reason and had to deal with a large number of gotchas from GCP. I kinda wish I never spent the long nights on this...
MightySCollins··on Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
I am really disappointed by this. One of the reasons we moved to GCP from AWS was the ability to create multiple clusters at no extra charge. Now it looks like the pricing matches EKS.
MightySCollins··on Ask HN: Kibana like data explorer UI for PostgreSQL?
We started with redash and moved to Metabase. It's really quite powerful and and teams great too.
MightySCollins··on Gmail: can't delete records of purchases and reservations; Protonmail?
Just wanted to add there is a bridge for Linux but it's in beta. You just need to email them at bridge@protonmail.ch and although it sucks there is no full text search most of the attraction is that your emails are not indexed in plain text.
MightySCollins··on Pylava: A fork of the Pylama code audit tool for Python 3.7
I just can't stand Celery as a project. It takes ages to stay up to date and I have had a few issues with it which just should not happen for such a large project
MightySCollins··on Redshift – A better flux program for Linux (2014)
This is now built into GNOME. You can set it under Displays
MightySCollins··on Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire GitHub
But what if they increase the price or add more plans...
MightySCollins··on Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire GitHub
GitHub is the website 90% of the packages I use are hosted on. All our company code and hundreds of hours are invested into whats hosted on it. I would hate to see this change...
MightySCollins··on Bypassing website anti-scraping protections
We have kind of the same thing. All data is in an API which is less than a cheap VPS and display messages to them about using the API if they get blocked but they just come back with a new IP every time.
MightySCollins··on Simplify Login with Application Load Balancer Built-In Authentication
I have spent all morning trying to get this to work. What seems to suck is your ALB will return an error with no details.
MightySCollins··on Browser extension that strips Google Analytics tokens from URL query strings
The site you visit can still use that information with an ad blocker.
MightySCollins··on Browser extension that strips Google Analytics tokens from URL query strings
Please don't remove these tags. Our system needs them to tie up your orders to where you came from and your personal information. Which we can use to analyse and ensure we spend more money on targeting people like you.
MightySCollins··on Our Attempt at Writing an Honest Privacy Policy
I think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.
MightySCollins··on Eshell as a main shell
I think there are many problems running Linux like everything you said and things like HiDPi but I just don't think I could dev on windows.
MightySCollins··on Our Attempt at Writing an Honest Privacy Policy
Linux Chrome 65.0.3315.3. Resolution 2560x1440. Looks like it just gets bigger the larger the view width `font-size: 1.7vw;` Probably want to constrain that. See https://i.imgur.com/erOZkOT.png
MightySCollins··on Custom domains on GitHub Pages gain support for HTTPS
Such a shame they quietly broke IPv6 support.
MightySCollins··on Show HN: Krypton for Teams – Simple SSH Key Storage for DevOps
So I really wanted to use this for our team but hit a few problems. This seems to run on AWS and so does most of our systems if this does not work and with no way to export the private keys I assume there is no way to SSH. Also it seems to use the same key for team stuff as personal stuff showing personal git commits in the audit log.
MightySCollins··on Ask HN: Are there any reasonable alternatives to MacBook Pro for developer?
I wish everything just used wayland and scaled correctly I am sick of having to launch chrome with an environment variable so it can run on one screen and having another instance for another. Also silly things like file dialogs not fitting. It's annoying when you look and the issues are all from years ago and still not fixed.
MightySCollins··on Office 365 Login Issues
Looks fixed now
MightySCollins··on Office 365 Login Issues
I wanted to do some work today. Now I have multiple people complaining on Slack.
MightySCollins··on The 1Password 7 Beta for Mac
Yep but a Chrome extension is not really a client. Especially when it has no offline support...
MightySCollins··on The 1Password 7 Beta for Mac
I keep checking these articles in hope they mention Linux. How can a 1Password expect companies to use it when it does not have a cross platform solution...
MightySCollins··on Show HN: Hotspot 3D – Compare Phones with WebGL
This is done so well. I currently work at a phone comparison company and permalinks would allow us to tweet about the difference in sizes etc. Pictures just aren't as cool. Nice work
MightySCollins··on Postgres Hidden Gems
Disappointed that there is not a Postgres hidden game which is what I thought when reading the title.
MightySCollins··on Ask HN: How to deal with inexperienced interviewers?
Ahh so JavaScript is just Java which runs of the client as well.
MightySCollins··on Thanks Mozilla Firefox
I have been using Nightly for sending time and glad people get to experience the numerous improvements
