this is total cost of about 10 computer touchers

if you save more than 10 computer touchers time on what you get, that's a positive on the balance sheet

if that $1.3m includes some big-rear end db boxes, that's like a whole computer toucher to deal with its poo poo, just for example

by being completely and totally commoditized and ruthlessly competitive with the knowledge that it's completely commoditizable and it's ok to commoditize it, this sort of cloudshit is one of the only places where capitalism unironically and completely works. also its mostly b2b so the peeps on both sides of the transaction are p. hard to victimize

all cloud rdbms dealios do that tho

azure sql good as hell, goog sql also good as hell, rdb also good as hell

special poo poo remains special. redshift best columnar db (they all suck), only good distributed-as-gently caress transactional db is spanner, goog has by far best ml poo poo, only one with deec windows support is azure (ofc)

also, azure's naming is somehow good despite it being microsoft, amazon's is dog poo poo, goog is ok

is the printing itself the issue? mine is much slower when i have printing turned on.

i'm still working through the diagnostic. i made many many subtle and not so subtle errors around bit manipulation and integer over/underfflows because it was my first real exposure to those concepts. rust doesn't behave the same way as C with regard to shifts, overflows, casts, etc, so it took me a long time to figure all that stuff out.

sooooo many bugs. thank god for that cpu diagnostic program.

i got as far as emulating a mips cpu and a memory controller and sketched out some gpu register access dispatching for a psx-based arcade board before going "lol why the gently caress am i doing this i have a dozen other side projects withering atm"

it did get a decent way through the boot ROM though, right up to the point where it would activate display scanout

that was a slog towards the end. just an incredible number of bugs, but i feel really good about where things are now. it works and the code is workable for whatever the next step is.

cjs: our 6 weeks long php job to upload php has finally been resolved. the full saga

- senior developer takes 4 weeks to fail getting php send file over sftp from prod, only succeeds on test
- gets inquiries from 4 different management tiers, finds ftps access credentials in poo poo gui provided by vendor and integrates over sftp ignoring vendor's requirement for sftp
- two weeks pass
- vendor bounces back saying "not secure"
- developer wastes 4 hours of my time saying "technically we integrated correctly since you can find ftps credentials in their web gui"
- i escalate to their team lead, who came in this morning for an hour, found out that prod runs on libssh2 1.4.3 that allegedly can't be upgraded, and made php call a bash script for sftp

fun fact: senior developer did receive from vendor's integration support the libssh2 version requirements

James Mickens did a good little talk about blockchain recently, it's quite funny but I found it to also be legit informative about what blockchains do and why it's not really very useful for them to do that.
