>> I am sorry if it sounded harsh, but constantly reading about novice problems I haven't had in a decade also doesn't "sound good reading".

It's not a novice problem. I know what a fsck is and I know you're not supposed to unmount filesystems improperly. But you shouldn't be presented with an error that you can't recover without a rescue USB because your system lost power.

And the video configuration issues are just weird. Monitors plug and play perfectly but all of a sudden it got so screwed up, I had to poke around quite a bit to get things back to normal. Frustrating the heck out of me because I'm used to something that just worked.
From reading your blog, I detect that you like working in MS Windows.

Can your compiler be ported to BSD?

Here is the rationale for why this can be useful: BSD can in turn be ported to new hardware with reduced amount of effort, sometimes a project that is manageable by one person.

(Compare this to what is required for porting Windows, Linux, etc. to new hardware).

Imagine an APL computer with an open source kernel that is easily ported to new hardware.

It's totally possible. Ditto for GCM. But it's slow, which defeats the whole point of using AES.
OVH offers hourly and monthly billing. The hourly billing is a bit more expensive but it is there. The pricing is monthly to get a better overview and be able to compare it better.

I understand your direction and it makes sense, but please don't advertise in a post that is reviewing providers with a specific use case (hourly billing) that you don't offer. Thanks.
What you fail to mention is that it's a very clear trade-off, simply because you usually end up sacrificing readability (and sometimes performance) when you "shrink" your source code size. Since APL is a concise language by design, using the "Notepad readability" metric as an advantage is redundant at best.

Furthermore, I'd argue that the more "Notepad readable" your code is, the less people can read it, which ironically ends up decreasing your code's value in the OSS world. I could write a web framework whose source is easy to open/edit in Notepad, but it likely won't be accessible enough for people to learn from or contribute to.

There's definitely a threshold where concise/hard-to-grok becomes an issue, but I definitely feel that APL is one language where this applies.

> What most surprises me is that their highly competent staff is thoughtlessly violating one of the security principles in sw : SECURITY BY ISOLATION .

I don't think this is really true, but I'm open to hearing your thoughts on this. There was a bug in their HTML parser which caused unrelated memory to be dumped to the process. Their SSL termination servers were isolated elsewhere which is why SSL keys weren't dumped into public caches.

Where would you like them to draw the isolation boundary? Per function? Per rule? Per service? From what I understand, these processes were a part of a single service, but not every request was using each type of rule.

Even if they'd only had customers using their html parser isolated on separate servers, other customers would have been affected even if their HTML was perfectly valid according to the parser.

"There was also a popular article(NYT?), which I can't find the link to at the moment, that showed me that only if you invest in the market for around 30 years or more, can you get a decent return. To me that makes sense if you want to leave your kids a little something after you're gone but not for your own lifetime."

What about investing for your own retirement? If you start investing when you begin your first job (usually in your 20s), and you expect to retire in your 60s and live into your 80s, that'll certainly give you at least a 30-year investment horizon.

> What's the target market for this "showdown" ? Hopefully not an online business, as all of these providers are the cloud hosting equivalent of shared servers from the early 00's. I've used DO and Linode and both have serious reliability problems that you have to engineer around yourself, and I can't imagine the other providers are any more robust.

OVH has openstack support in some regions and that is the current defacto non aws / Google / Azure cloud competitor.

And, all of the big providers have their own issues - cloud computing is hard, and no one has it 100% yet.

You can, but you need to design and plan for it. State depended on by code is usually the biggest problem; you need to design your code and rollout process to work with both old and new state.

For example, if you add a column to a database table, then both the old code should be able to work seamlessly both with and without this column. In practice, this would mean not making the column a required one, unless you can invent some kind of neutral default value.

The issue I have with your characterization is the forced equivalence of "plenty of people in this comment section" and "basically the entire Internet" part of it. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a segment of Linux users that vocally claim their choice is the superior one, but you could say the same thing for Mac and Windows. Given that there's no way to measure the number of Linux (or Mac or Windows) users who aren't commenting, it's a little presumptive to just assert that all Linux users are telling you your choice is wrong.

As an aside, I can't speak for other Linux users, but my goal is most certainly not to "drive Linux user adoption". If someone is interesting in learning to use Linux or wants advice about which distro to use, I would happily help them, but I actively try not to convert people who haven't expressed that interest. The reason I chimed in here is that I disagreed with the sentiment that Linux is a terrible choice. It's certainly not the right choice for most people, but there's a difference between being being niche and being bad.

But if a journalist is going to use a secure desktop Operating System, he/she/they should investigate the current trio of recommendations which are as follows, and have different threat models baked into each:

Subgraph. Currently in Alpha version, so be careful using this. Still has to be vetted by the wider infosec community, but worth downloading and playing around with.

TailsOS. Very useful for journalists, but since it heavily relies on Tor it can be tricky dealing with mixed-anonymity workflows where sometimes you just need a Windows environment (preferably an airgapped Windows sandbox you can use to code / play around with files using Windows freeware).

Qubes. Heavily reliant on compartmentalization, and this can sometimes prove too cumbersome if you typically do one type of activity on the web like chat / email / hang out on slack. Typically for when you need to insulate different activities from each other and to avoid contaminating different contextual environments / tasks.
There can be more than one problem at once, you know. Zoning laws do keep new houses from being made in some places, and investors buying houses and doing nothing with them or raising all local rents in the area to increase the average rent paid are both problems that need to be fixed. At least with the housing tax, we'd see a wealth redistribution, which I could argue is highly needed at the moment.
What it feels like to be an open-source maintainer
I think Google freaked out to the Nth degree because it's quite likely that cached data is probably stored in a system that doesn't have [m]any security restrictions attached to it, and... well, there are >72k people. You're going to find well-meaning "what happens if I... OOPS" types (for any definition of "OOPS"), along with (ostensibly equally well-meaning) "hey, an OAuth token that actually works! Let's see just how far we can take this..." people... and then some that aren't just interested in fun engineering challenges, if you get what I mean.

I have no idea what Google employees have access to. I've always wondered whether they can hand-code their own MapReduce syntax over Google's actual Web index (I could find SO MANY THINGS if that were possible!). I wouldn't be surprised if the cache data <-> index were accessible to everyone who's been around for >6 months, so they can tinker with it.

But I guess the only reason I'm able to type this is that I haven't signed The Large Book Of NDAs (I presume it's large).

I think you nailed it.

1. On top of that, there is also the fact that 100K new ppl move into the GTA every year. A good chunk of the wants to live in DT Toronto, further reducing the small supply;

2. Toronto produces 30% of Canada's economic output;

3. By many metrics, Toronto is extremely underpriced for the job and quality of life you get compared to other countries' largest cities;

4. Toronto is the 3rd largest North American city;

5. It's possible part of the prices are just tracking the USD as the CAD dropped ;and

6. The truth is, the majority of the Canadian population won't know/accept that in this single city people make 5-10x the income they make, hence "bubble" being thrown around as the obvious answer.
Windows 8 was worse than Windows 10 which is worse than 7. I should have specified-to me Windows 8 and 10 are both poor, both much worse than 7. To be honest, I had an EASIER time with Windows 8 (company provided laptop) than Windows 10.

Windows 7 was the pinnacle windows experience for me and it has gotten worse ever since.
> Like, for every lie of Trump's that they highlight

They should compare Trump with the previous administration, yes. Very often Trump makes a statement and the article immediately follows with "Trump provided no evidence for his claims". Plenty democrats make statements without providing evidence, including claims about Trump. Further, some papers have printed claims with "..say some whitehouse officials" as their evidence.
Yes, if those figures are converted to USD (I presume so as they're using the '$' sign without specification?), then they are so manipulated as to be worthless. There is no way to pour a foundation, even a small one, for $277.

I agree the formal implications are the interesting aspect. Creating an exactly equivalent design, with curved walls everywhere, would be phenomenally expensive with conventional practices.

Call me an old fart but I much prefer email.

Email gives me a reminder to keep me organized.

And the two teams I worked on that use slack killed productivity by chatting all day and sending animated gifs.

Plus, people expect email to be asynchronous. With slack, I get a mixture of immediate and asynchronous requests. So every message breaks my flow while I determine the priority level.
I have a slight feeling that this won't become very widespread on Earth - simply put, the thing is too small to be able to construct a house larger than a typical 1-family house.

However, taking such a thing and sending it up to Mars or the Moon, now there's a potential for "real" prefabricated housing.
> Rents are set by the market price just like anything else.

This isn't technically incorrect, but it overlooks some important details. Historically, prices typically reflected local supply and demand, but recently throughout the world we are seeing tremendous external demand from people with massive wealth entering local markets and driving up prices. In other words, in your statement "Landowners can only charge what people are willing to pay.", "people" is not the same thing it was 10 or 15 years ago.

Of course, this has always been the case to some degree, it's just much more widespread now.
Thank you for comprehensive comment. Hopefully I can understand enough about the video to get the gist. Idea of Scheme style functional features with APL's power tools. If you get around writing more about these things I'll definitely be reading.

Since most of Python and JavaScript I do at work is mostly searching and using examples and libraries from where ever having full complement already with the system feels impossible. On the other hand, APL implementations have had some time to make things right. I'll take a look at that big APL book and see what I can gather (my favorite way to learn).

BTW: I got my first taste of APL from one of the FinnAPL fellows. I saw some incredible things by him I've since tried to replicate after a fashion.

I'm not sure where you live, but right now on HN's front page there's a post about the housing bubble in Toronto and the 100k vacant homes in Paris. So what you say may be true where you live but it is not the case elsewhere.

Many people pay more than they were willing to or have to share their place to be able to pay rent. When the choice is between paying more than you were willing to or not having a place to live, you don't really have a choice.

I think the implication is that the isolation should be per customer, each being allocated their own parsing process, isolated from the other customers.

That's roughly what we do, though we run an hosted version of an open source webapp, not a CDN. It's more expensive resource-wise (particularly RAM), but it has meant that we were immune to 90%+ of the security bugs discovered in the platform.
I like Subgraph. I know a lot of people like Qubes (I have no opinions about it, but the people I know who like it are quite smart). I don't think I know anyone who recommends Tails.

But none of these are reasonable suggestions for journalists and activists. We're not talking about people who are running conspiracies and can organize their working lives around opsec. You can barely get these people to the point where they aren't blindly clicking on attachments (and the attachments they open need to open in office software that is compatible with their existing workflows). They're simply not going to use Linux on their desktops.

This is why security people like phones so much: they run secure operating systems that laypeople have accepted and can work with.
The question is how many lives were lost due to a damaged ozone layer? (increased risks of skin cancer, etc).

Maybe, but the argument is suppression of those views.
You have to decide if what you want is to provide people housing or want to raise revenue to do wealth redistribution.

IF you add a tax to owning a property, you make it less interesting for people to buy housing, since it will be sold for less, and thus creates less supply for the future renters.

I've just switched to Mac a couple of weeks ago after over a decade of Linux as my desktop - Ubuntu and Gnome for the past 6 years or so.

I have a much better machine now (although there are nice Linux certified laptops out there) and a much nicer hardware integration with the OS (especially in terms of battery life).

But as a desktop Gnome is just as good if not better (that's a matter of taste after all), and as a Unix development machine it's sub-par compared to Linux.

I'm pretty happy with it, but I can see myself going back to Linux. But Windows - not anytime soon.

Yes, clearly the problem with housing is not enough taxes. Taxing people for owning homes will definitely not result in rents rising and fewer people owning homes.
Actually, I'm an old school OpenBSD user who still programs with ed(1). Check misc@ out back a number of years. I've had to move away because OpenBSD isn't the greatest platform for doing high performance GPU research. :-(

The compiler is already portable to BSD. However, the underlying library I use to do GPU programming (ArrayFire) is not ported to BSD, though it Is for Linux. The Dyalog interpreter is available for AIX as well as Linux, and that's what you need to host the compiler right now. If Dyalog received the interest, it would be pretty straightforward to port Dyalog APL to BSD.

If one wanted to provide a self-hosting Co-dfns compiler, you could implement a minimal dfns interpreter and then run the Co-dfns compiler over that. To my knowledge no such interpreter exists yet. However, porting either ArrayFire or the Co-dfns runtime would go a long way to doing this, because you could then share the runtime library between the interpreter and the compiler.

So, yes, this is quite possible, and probably not even that much work. I'd welcome such a contribution. :-)

This is technically incorrect. First because there are places where rents are regulated, then because rents are often artificially inflated. In other words market prices can be and are manipulated to make more profit to owners.
