I'll add a dissenting voice. The only thing good about the goldtouch is the tenting. Which is brilliant, I'll concede. You can make it both tented, but also flat and split for a change.

But the goldtouch involves So. Much. Chording. I have the v1, which makes it worse. The windows key is way the fuck to the left, making constant stretches necessary. Plus the fact that the thumb keys can only press space is a major ergonomic negative. It's also a membrane keyboard, meaning bottoming out all the time is required.

It's a decent keyboard, and I'm glad it works well for you, but it isn't really god's gift to humanity either.
Amiga Exec is not object-oriented, at least not if you think Smalltalk is OO. There is no dynamic dispatching involved when you work with structures like Message or MsgPort.

That said, there are places where dynamic dispatching is used in Amiga Exec. For example, communication with device drivers happens with commands sent in messages.

Anyway, the AmigaOS was absolutely remarkable. An operating system for home computers with concepts such as preemptive scheduling, dynamically loadable libraries, loadable device drivers with a unified API based on message passing, and loadable filesystems (called "handlers"). Ironically, the least mature parts of the OS where those parts responsible for graphics and UI.
Teachers and administrators bullied me indirectly through the most popular kids in school. Several schools. I made a few of them pay and pay when I figured out their abuse patterns depended on me staying quiet. I never went to any formal authorities because I didn't think I would be believed.

This social issue of adults using children like this is extremely rampant. It's a phenomenon you can't unsee.

[edit: the one ray of hope? the teacher who ever took my side? arrested for sexual assault on a minor while I was still in attendance.]
Makes sense now, thanks.

Monit for automated restarts.

Hardware raid cards.

Plus an architecture that is robust.

In my experience, good dedicated servers practically never crash. You might lose a HDD every few years, but that is not urgent to fix if you have a good raid.

Avoid most cloud services. Heroku, Rackspace, AWS all had much more outages than Hetzner. Plus they'll sometimes force reboot or force migrate ( =pause) your instances.

So if you go cloud, you'll need failover, distributed database, all that messy and complicated stuff. If you go dedicated, it's much easier and you only need to keep that one box running.

Plus, honestly, would your customers really mind if you're offline for 5 minutes? My dedicated hoster also has a service where they will monitor standard services like Apache, Postgresql, Rails for you and restart as needed. They have 5-10 minutes response time in my experience and I belive its good enough :)

Also, going dedicated makes it affordable to overprovision 10x the hardware you need, so you will practically never have a traffic spike high enough to cause issues.

With Heroku / AWS on the other hand, everyone else will also be scaling up when their cloud has hiccups, so your on-demand instances might not start when you need them.

Anyway, Hetzner dedicated + raid + monit is how I've been running my SaaS company for 10+ years. And I don't even remember which year I last had an issue that was both urgent and required my attention. The Hetzner ppl can exchange HDDs just fine without me. C++ core, Ruby website, Postgresql and RabbitMQ. 100GB database, 5TB customer data.

I agree what you are trying to say but Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is not an idea but it finished product. It took Wiles years to finish the proof. If he told someone about the idea behind the proof in the initial phase without anything concrete and was not able to finish the proof, do you think the idea would be perceived?
I'm not a Facebook hater, I think the new laws are stupid, and I wholly agree with your statement "If they are forced to pay for the links, they should be allowed to ban them".

But that's not what the backlash is about. Rather, it's about Facebook's banning of content that they would not have had to pay for, apparently just as a flex to show how powerful they are.

I wrote more about this here a day ago:

Facebook seems to have backpedalled somewhat since then, so they've effectively conceded they got it wrong initially, but they've still made a big PR blunder, even if their claims are technically true.
Here's what I'm most interested in here: right now, if I'm using an alternative mobile OS (besides iOS or Android), it's basically impossible for me to implement digital payments through existing payment networks. On the other hand, because cryptocurrencies are FOSS and very well-standardized, it's very possible to implement a cryptocurrency wallet.

If central-bank digital currencies are closer to cryptocurrencies in this regard, and the protocol is standardized enough that mobile Linux OSes can have wallets... that'll be very much appreciated. I'd love to have mobile payments but not depend on Apple or Google.
Stick to large, well known firms. In the US, that's Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, eTrade, ... There are few 'fintech' players that have the weighty balance sheet you'd want when major market events occur. Trades are pretty cheap, even $0 for most standard trades on Schwab[0].

I think Disk Utility in recovery partition has some serious bugs and it can make it 'not bootable'
I have noticed my M1 Mac Mini behaves a bit strangely when I have my external USB3 HDD plugged in. The mouse motion is stuttery, but unplug the drive and it is smooth as silk. There's evidently something low-level going on, probably USB error recovery.

Might be worth checking if you have any external hardware causing issues?

My main bug bear is my HP Z27 DisplayPort monitor disappears when it goes to sleep. Have to unplug/replug the cable to get it to come back.
If you are worried about that wait until you learn about Cede & Co.

On US listed stocks there is a very good chance you don’t own them at all. You just have certain contractual rights to them.

(Note: I believe the counter party risk with lending for shorts or Cede & Co custody is extremely far down the list when talking about risks in the equities market)

The answer varies depending on brokerage, legal jurisdiction, and your account status(es). I wasn't able to find good English-language information on Swedish consumer financial regulation, and I suspect this particular concern is not one that is asked regularly.

That said, the following rules of thumb for American brokerages might be of interest:

* Securities held in cash accounts are not loaned out without the customer's approval. Brokers may offer a revenue-sharing agreement, for example IBKR's "Stock Yield Enhancement Program" at <https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=46942>.

* Margin account agreements usually have wording allowing the broker to loan out securities held on margin. This is important for holders of dividend-producing equities in a margin account, because taxation of "payments in lieu" is different from that of qualified dividends.

* In both cases, loaned securities are covered by cash collateral. The exact percentage varies between brokers; as one data point, IBKR collateralizes the loan at 102% [0].

* Retail brokerages have insurance on the first $500k USD of assets per account, including $250k of cash, through the SIPC[1]. This is designed to protect customer assets if your brokerage enters liquidation, and although it doesn't protect loaned shares, it does protect your retail account from being impaired by another customer's short going wrong.

Something I have been thinking about related to this story: we, as humans, will never know what reality is (not just "our" reality as in "our" universe, but "everything"). You either a) have to accept the idea of infinite as in realities have always existed and have bootstrapped inner realities with time. They never "were created", they just "always existed". So whenever we get to know the details of reality N, we don't know yet 100% what reality N-1 is about (we may have an idea, a theory, but just that). We would never reach to understand/experience reality 0.

Or b) you don't accept the idea of "infinite" and you think everything has one single beginning, one original "big bang" that bootstrapped everything and that nothing ever existed before that moment, not even time. But as humans I don't think our brains are wired in a way to understand "there was nothing before something", we will always ask ourselves "what is the cause of that?".
> "Very fast" some say? I still wish to see it, because so far it feels just like the one I had before or slower! I am not talking about benchmarks, I am talking about day to day experience.

Really sounds like you had some hardware problem. For example, running a java app test suite runs 2x as fast on my M1 MBA than the 2017 MBP it replaced. Instant on from sleep, instant new Safari tabs, and terminal tabs/windows, are all examples of things that have greatly sped up my day to day experience. Add that all this in a machine with no fans, and not much bigger than my iPad Pro.

I do run into bugs here and there, but it's hard to tell if they are Big Sur bugs or M1 bugs. I wouldn't consider any of them showstoppers or occurring enough to be more than a minor annoyance.
Avoid Java and clouds, use raid and monit. Buy much more memory and storage that you think you need so that you'll have a safety buffer.

Different politics can correlate with different web usage. Either directly, e.g. because of different type of censorship on different websites, or indirectly e.g. because politics correlates with social class, and social class correlates with web usage.

So maybe YouTube is relatively more popular with right wing, and Twitter with left wing... which would make the average YouTube user more right-wing than the average of the population (and the average Twitter user more left-wing that the average of the population).

It could even be some statistical artifact. Maybe the audience is divided 50:50, but e.g. left-wing users are more likely to produce their own videos. That would mean that right-wing videos have on average more views per video.

It could be an artifact of censorship itself: suppose that e.g. extreme right-wing is 5% of population, and they produce 5% of videos. But half of those videos are removed by YouTube. If they keep using the same search terms, the surviving videos will have twice more views per video. And if then YouTube moderators freak out and delete half of those, the views of the remaining half will double again, feeding a spiral of hysteric moderation and extreme popularity of the few surviving fringe videos. (And it doesn't help if the content-agnostic algorithm predicts -- correctly -- that the popularity of these videos is likely to skyrocket.)

Honestly, unless we vaccinate everybody in the entire world, it seems that vaccine resistant variants are inevitable.

Nah, they need to pivot. There is no long term competitive advantage over OneDrive or Google Drive if they just focus on their existing product. Both Microsoft and Google can both probably can have a long term competitive advantage in this space because of Android / Windows / 365 / Azure and GCP.

Disclaimer: IANAL or a financial expert. This information is relevant in the US, but Swedish brokerages may do something similar.

In the US, brokers cannot lend out your shares without your knowledge. Brokerage customers can opt into a program called Fully Paid [Securities] Lending, in which the broker pays you a monthly fee to lend your shares out to short sellers. The fee you're paid is higher for securities that are harder to come by; shares of an up and coming marijuana company will be much more rare than large-cap stocks in the S&P 500. (Brokerages often own their own shares of popular stocks that they can lend out, so there's no need to pay customers for access to them.) You can recall the shares at any time, so they're still considered liquid. The only "catch" is that you can't vote as a shareholder without first recalling them.

Here are some product pages for FPL programs run by Schwab[1] and Fidelity[2]. Most (all?) large US-based brokerages seem to offer this in some form.

I am a solo founder working on my shopify apps. There was a memory issue and my app was going down for a while. Tbh It's quite hard to reboot the service when I'm out. I only restarted my app when I went home.

I don't hire any freelancer to watch my app. But I am using monitoring service and django notification emails when there's an outage

For solo founders, it is better to pick a product that can tolerate a small amount of down time.
You could have the best of both worlds and only modify the state of your system through a well defined API and then serialize the change in some kind of config file if and only if the change was successful (rollback to the last good state otherwise).

It strikes me as odd describing Exec as object oriented, to me it looked like a fairly elegant minimal OS "micro-kernel" that's written in C and is directly connected to application code through jump tables instead of having a user- vs kernel-mode dividing line.

Jump tables could be described as "dynamic dispatch", and building nested C structs could be described as "inheritance" or "composition", but come on, by those standards nearly all C code bases would be "OOP". Most 8-bit home computer systems had jump tables into ROM too, but nobody would call those operating systems "object oriented".

There was an OOP system on AmigaOS 2.x and later called BOOPSI (Basic Object Oriented Programming System for Intuition), but that was only for the user interface system, and to be honest, it was exactly what one would expect when some API designers get infected by the early 90's OOP hype.

PS: looking at the date of that article I guess the author was also infected by the early 90's OOP hype, when everything had to be OOP, no matter if intended or not ;)
I wasn't solo, but I was the sole technical founder of a startup; I was there for two years before I transitioned out (the startup is still going strong).

My take: Lean on managed services as much as you can. This will help ensure that you have other experts to reach out to if you have issues with a component of your system. We were on Heroku + AWS RDS (the latter because at the time the MySQL offerings in Heroku were problematic, and we were using MySQL). Even if you don't pay for Heroku support, they were pretty good.

Make sure you set your SLA to something reasonable. For the startup, I am not sure we even committed to an SLA, but we were handling people's money and a crucial part of their operations. So I tried to be responsive within a few hours, especially if the app was down.

As far as actually taking vacations, I did that a few times. If I was close to internet service, I took my laptop and made sure I had cell coverage. Remember freaking out a bit because a camping area I was at had spotty coverage.

One time I was going to take a trip to the Canadian wilds. I had a friend who was running a larger company and who had oncall set up for his product. I documented the heck out of the system and asked them to be oncall for the 10ish days I would be out of touch. I don't recall if we paid them (might have been a 'friend deal' where we would pay them if there were any incidents), but I do recall nothing happened.

To answer your question:

> do they hire freelancers to “watch the shop” when they want a break or are they chained to PagerDuty 24/7?

If I had to pick the category I was in, it was "chained to PagerDuty 24/7".
I’ve actually been investigating cPanel alternatives as it’s become expensive and I think customers should have choice.

I find it interesting that I didn’t come across this one in all of my research I did last week or so, even though it’s backed by Redhat.

I actually think although we’re in a time of striving for serverless, there will always be a market for self hosting, be it niche.

Not everyone is building a huge SaaS platform but wants to run more than just a blog or website.

I don’t think this is the answer though. I think what these type of servers need is a standardised layer to interact with them, an API, something like how we have EPP for domains.

Because as we know, frontend will change so fast. The underlying hardware and OS changes too. Now seems like the right time to invent a new level of abstraction.

I’m not aware of anything that exists like this.

'extreme edge case'? Like Running Garage Band and going to sound settings? Or reinstalling OS? Which of those is extreme?

After many years of Chrome, then Brave, I've been on Firefox (M1 Mac) for a few months now with not a single issue. If you don't sign into Google properties then there's no problem. If you do then there is.

The thing to dump is not Chrome, but Google (ideally both but ymmv).
to a degree being able to associate with like-minded peers is good for peace of mind, but the author is right that conflict is also productive.

This also applies in the real world. The actual Greek meaning of the word idiot is 'private person'. Someone who had withdrawn from the life in the polis, the political community.

Over the last few decades we've seen a trend of this privatisation and segmentation or what Michael Sandel called 'skyboxification'. Everyone sorts into their own group, often commercially, rather than having shared experiences with people from different walks of life.

The promise of the internet was that it would be easier for different people to have these interactions. It's sad that in reality it has devolved into a shouting match (it should be noted very often between people who are actually alike and engage in some Girardian terror of small differences, rather than between genuine strangers)

Thank you Martin. I have argued against micro services for writing systems (until you really need them) for a while and get real pushback.

For me, the issue is that a monolith based on, for example, Apache Tomcat using background work threads let’s me also handle background tasks in one JVM. I have not used this pattern in a long time, but when I did it served me well.

I think Java and the JVM are more suitable for this than Python and a web framework. I tried this approach with JRuby one time using background worker threads but I wouldn’t use CRuby.
Seems like Avanza competitor Nordnet is fairly transparent about loaning out your stocks. On by default for some account types (when the stocks are not in your name, e.g. KF account type). They will give you a cut of the gains. You can chose to opt out.

In case you’re interested the two bitcoin forks BCH and BSV have unlimited block size and so energy/transaction validated can scale very well. Eventually all forks will have to rely on transaction fees as the block reward has a halving schedule. If something like BSV succeeds the hash rate and thus energy consumption will be a complicated combination of transaction volume, and variable transaction fees. It will essentially be a race to the bottom to see who can provide the cheapest transactions while still being profitable. I think one should expect much higher energy efficiency than something like Visa just from pure scale and the intense competition.
