I started writing 2017 as a new years resolution.

Back in the days I mostly wrote about things that I encountered in my daily development work and saw people struggle with or I struggled with myself. Webpack, React, etc.

It helped me to understand things by writing explanations for other people.

2019 I started to get offerings from companies to write for them, that moved the focus from my own problems in frontend development to the problems of other people. I wrote a few interesting pieces about APIs.

Today I make most of my money by writing for different companies all over the world, often I don't find the time to create my own content anymore, so my blog is often filled with guest posts.

On the one hand it's sad, because it goes more into the agency direction than into the influencer direction, but on the other hand I make good money with writing, and normally writers aren't paid well, so I got that going for me, haha.

Coronavirus is just accelerating the market correction in startups that was already underway. In the end it may actually do some good to just pull the bandaid off fast.

This is just the next wave in the cycle and those of us that have been around a few years know what to expect. Those that haven’t been though this before or are in denial will learn the hard way.

Nobody cares about your pumped up valuation anymore. If anything pumped up valuations only hurt you in times like these. Options become worthless and early investors don’t want to take a hit at the benefit of others that come in on a severe (down 50+%) down round. What people do care about is how much cash you have and what your burn rate is. Cash is king.

Getting new cash will mean making it with old fashioned revenue and profit. If you can’t do that your days are likely numbered.

I hope to find some motivation and niche ideas here to get back to it.

I wish iptables had an option to use full-cone NAT (endpoint independent mapping + filtering per rfc5128) instead of always doing full cone (endpoint-dependent). It would dramatically cut down on the number of table entries needed, possibly down to 1 if you use source port binding.
I mean, it seems likely to me that every global mega-corporation has probably employed a murderer at some point in time. It's just a numbers game.

Millennials Freaked Out and Fled Risk When Stocks Took a Dive
Something I've noticed is that universities in the US no longer seem to advertise their primary mission as education, but as providing the "college experience".

Brochures are rife with amenities and activities like you're picking out a resort or extended summer camp where you can safely figure out who you are, make friends, and be protected until you're set free, job-pass in hand.

These advertisements are also primarily aimed at the parents.

My SO got a second degree several years ago, and all of her official and financial paperwork was addressed to "the parents of $SO". It was a bit shocking that there's so little expectation by universities for a legal adult to take agency in the process.

I only wonder how much of this process was a result of student demands for more parental oversight and involvement, and if the end result is better outcomes or merely justification of more money spent.

> I do not believe that you can write perfect code or avoid bugs.

I don't think anyone (including you) does. I don't think typescript pretends to be a perfect programming language that magically creates clean code either, but I think it gets us closer to that unrealistic goal.

> This again, depends on the particular history and skill-set of your team. For example, TypeScript fits very well if you are familiar with C#.

I very much disagree with this.

If you want to compare Typescript with another language, you have to remember that its typesystem is optional. So all you are left with basically Javascript. How much of the typesystem you want to use is up to you and your team.

Personally I try to let typescript infer the types as much as possible. I only explicitly annotate function arguments and foregin data.
Sometimes there are cases where the typesystem won't work. Usually it's because I want to dynamically create something instead of verbosely defining everything. If the dynamic way is easier to maintain I choose that way and may lose some type information. (often you can tell the typesystem that "this dynamic blob" results in "this explicit type" though)

I'm not very fond of C# but I enjoy Typescript. I think the reason I don't like C# is because it forces you to make classes of everything which to me adds a lot of friction.
You could use the first paragraph of this comment in every post with links. For me that's explicit enough, even if a bit long to type. But you could save it somewhere and paste in the comment.

Except you never do that (having your DB directory be in the container rootfs). Nobody does, because then (beside the performance/reliability impact you mention) if the container goes (docker rm) the data goes. You're always gonna use a Volume for this kind of cases, be it K8s volume or Docker volume, and these, as neighbour message mentions, are just bind mounts (or actual mounts in certain cases), so no layers, no overlay, nothing of the sort.

Knowing me, it was probably something where, at the time of building (2015), I saw elsewhere - naively assumed it was a good idea/it works, copied it and moved on. I didn't give it as much thought as I could have. Now it's a case to prioritise that and improve it, along with some other much needed optimisations.

Doritos tries new branding approach to attract Gen Z (2019)
Good article, but I want to clarify a point since it could leave the impression that it's universities themselves driving this growth race.

In the UK at least, we used to have a model where universities were funded by the government (through tax, of course) but the government also set hard limits on how many students you could enrol, with penalties for going over. The current model which Tony Blair in effect started and David Cameron completed removed this cap, and so opened the way for the current growth race.

Whether a university can survive under the new model, or even be better off than before without increasing student numbers depends on many things including the amount and kind of reasearch income, the proportion of international students they have and whether they're city-centre or campus-based. I would say most UK universities were faced with a choice between masively increasing student numbers or massively cutting expenditure to survive - lots of them seem to be doing a combination of both, which is one reason we've seen so many staff strikes this year. At least in several decent (Russell Group) universities that I know a bit about personally, it was very much a case of we have to grow by x% a year just to carry on paying our staff and bills. At least in the UK, I make a case that it's not just greedy unis and fat cat vice-chancellors driving this problem.

To give some numbers - the fees for home undergraduates are capped at £9250 a year and in a science or engineering degree with high equipment costs, it's hard to break even on these fees. International students are where the money really comes from, a one-year MSc degree can set you back £25k-£30k in fees alone although that usually includes doing a supervised project over the summer as well as attending an academic year's worth of teaching. Or at least, it'll include whatever supervision you can get this summer.

If you already have all of that working, why would you change? Containers are valuable for a couple things-

1. Packaging and distribution- it's very easy to set up a known good filesystem using docker images and reuse that. There are other solutions- dpkg plus ansible would be an example.

2. Standardized control- all apps using 'docker run' vs a mix of systemd and shell scripts can simplify things.

3. Let's you tie into higher level orchestration layers like k8s where you can view your app instances as a single thing. There are other solutions here as well.

4. Can use the same image on dev machines as prod instead of needing two parallel setup schemes.

If you already are happy with your infra, certainly don't change it. I think once you know containers they are a convenient solution to those problems, but if stuff is setup they already missed their shot.

I know what a hype curve is, and I made two substantive points to differentiate this situation from a hype curve. I’m not “bemoaning the pitfalls,” I’ll repeat that I’m concerned this approach, which is gaining traction and getting solidified and entrenched, will spook the decisionmakers on being willing to accept your 15-year solution when it comes along.

They featured the work of Clowes and Burns! Very cool.

Technical answer: if longevity is your priority, you need either to self-host everything or use a static blog generator. In the first case, you can install anything you want in your own server (Wordpress is always a good choice) and it will keep running as long as you pay your bills. For the second case (with something like Jekyll or Pelican), all you need is a website that hosts static files (namely, all of them) and if one goes down you simply re-upload somewhere else.

There's yet another point to consider: is there a reason why it has to be a blog? If you intend to give it to your child, a Word document is all you need.

Personal answer: I would encourage you not to blog in anger. I had to sort through a book written once by someone in pain for losing a child, and it was a very uncomfortable experience. I encourage to ask yourself "is this something that will make my child's life better, or is this something that will make my life better?". If it's the second, I would encourage you to still write it, but in a private diary rather than a public blog.

> My SO got a second degree several years ago, and all of her official and financial paperwork was addressed to "the parents of $SO".

Are there no legal issues that could come up with this? Working with financial documents addressed to someone other than yourself?

I briefly touched on this elsewhere in this thread, but as a working professional who happens to still be very young and wanting to get my degree, universities are pissing me off. They create their own definitions of residency and independence that differ from the legal versions that seem to have no purpose but to extract more money from a potential student.

Posthaven (https://posthaven.com/) claims to be just that.

Unfortunately, the founder was also a founder of Posterous, which was insanely cool back then and pretty much the same as Posthaven now, including the longevity claims. Posterous is no more.

Still, they claim to mean it this time, and not take VC money, so it's worth a look.
