These were never actually available anyways, I tried multiple times over the years in multiple regions and I always got “no capacity”.

Weird, I've been running instances for many years and never had an issue spinning a new one up. Did you have a trial account or PAYG account? (There is a difference, trial account instances are harder to get and are subject to termination at any time.)

IIRC, the docs say you're supposed to be able to use it with a trial account. I think I did try to sign up for the other kind and ran into a wall where I had to contact support or a sales rep, and the last thing I ever want to do is talk to Oracle sales.

I can second this. Back when I first set up my free tier resources there I confirmed this with a sales rep, PAYG accounts will have immediate access to free tier resources, that limitation is only for trial accounts.

This is sometimes done intentionally to hide latency and make a UI feel faster - I certainly don’t like it though.

I’ve been finding that very rigorous/technical people who are willing to adapt their workflows are very effective, whereas more “management” types are sometimes effectively pushing work off onto their code reviewers.

Lutes, even!

This is just a matter of priorities - I use LLMs to write code every day and I have never put a single line of code up for review that I didn’t read and understand.

I use to do this and then do test manually to validate everything works as expected in my small open source project. But then over the time I saw that some bugs crept in which I was unable track since I was doing manual testing. So I wrote some e2e tests with playwright and I think that gives a bit relief (at least).

It's turn based, the most similar game I've played is probably Fantasy General. Closer to Advance Wars or Fire Emblem than Warcraft.

I tried this with Claude - it has to be explicitly instructed to not make an external tool call, and it can get the right answer if asked to show its work long-form.

Your HN jobs page lists comp as 24-48k, is this accurate?

Yes, and you won't be considered if you're in the US anyway. Hence the downvotes.

how come?

It matters for things like verifiable builds.

Full determinism is also highly prized by compiler writers because it massively simplifies the task of reproducing and debugging problematic executions.

This is similar to how wild boar was hunted in Europe - there were special spears made with extra crossbars to reduce the chance of a boar reaching the spear holder after being impaled.

Later, they learned to, after inciting the boar, run towards the center of town, then overcome it with arrows just as it arrived.

11

to those unaware: 11 is the laughing taunt in aoe2 and is used in the community like lol. the poster above was describing how you hunt a boar in aoe2 which is a vital source of food in early game. it is risky to use your towncenter to weaken a boar because if you kill it with the towncenter you can not harvest the food

Thanks, I think that's a style/level of in-joke that needed an explanation for the wider audience. Particularly since the first arrow-part sounds almost plausible. (And "11" on its own is unlikely to give many useful hits.)

wololo

(And this - of course is what AoE shaman/priest/religious units would chant to "convert" enemy units to their side ... :)
