Just ordered a FalbaTech the other week. I am super excited. Have been using the MacBook pro keyboard for the past year and didn't have a proper desk setup until I moved to a bigger place just a few weeks ago. I had to bust out a Kinesis 2 that's been in a closet, and i gotta say, going back to a split setup wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. You learn it once and it can stick pretty well. Now for all the Emacs bindings :D

Hey folks, just dropping this here as Tim and Sabba were kind enough to accept my invitation for an AmA on our very own /r/SaaS subreddit.

They're such nice guys and their adventure, so far at least, has been VERY interesting.

Just wanted to share this here in case you've got something to ask them...

It sounds nice at first, but if you have 5 completely different resources then why would you want to squish them into one? This taints highly cacheable data with frequently changing data, and slows down everything all at the same time.

Also when 5 becomes 8, 9, 10.... entire APIs come grinding to a halt because people are trying to download the entire database in one single request instead of just making a few calls.
The nikkei 225 peaked at 38k in 1989. It is 29k now, 76% of the old value.
Just wanted to ditto everything you’ve said. I don’t think people realize how good we have it with Apple and how easily things could’ve gone in a completely different direction. Yes it’s a benevolent dictatorship, but right now it’s still benevolent. I get a lot of value out of the fact app makers have their oh-so-clever hands tied.

Are you sure? NY would have plenty of parties, like 20-30 on a popping weekend night. Full range.

I know Colombia is really into it. I went to pretty solid parties in Brazil, at Fabriketa in Sao paulo. Felt fairly similar to the NY scene.

NY would have the big events for the "cool" crowd, big showcases like afterlife and stuff at the Mirage. Then smaller clubs like Nowadays, where you could get an 8 hour Wata Igarashi set etc. Underground one-offs like The Bunker.

Plus it seemed like a lot of Europe's cities have their scene and they focus more on that. Of course Berlin is high quality but like Copenhagen focuses on schacke and stuff. Whereas NY you can get a taste of everything in a year.

Is it? Maybe. However, it's also able to run games, and that's being pushed with Apple's Arcade service. So, yes, it needs all of that CPU/GPU for games. You can connect an Xbox/Playstaion controller to it for game play.
This is so on the money. Leetcode/hackerrank are one form of practice, but they're not comprehensive. They're like a practice putting green or a driving range. Very useful practice, but they teach you how to swing the club not how to golf.
Have you seen the fairphone? It's exactly this. The first one let you replace all components without any tools. The latest one needs a screwdriver (which it comes with).

You can upgrade a fairphone 3 to a fairphone 3+ yourself just by buying the updated components. It's pretty cool! But it isn't cheap.

By your metric anything you pay is a % of your revenue, I think you understand what I meant in the context I meant it.

Imagine a scenario where you realize you can double your prices without changing anything else nor losing customer, therefore only changing your revenue by doubling it. Your AWS bill doesn't change. Your Apple store bill doubles. This is factually a tax on revenue.
There are practically no stores which sell hardware with Linux.
Think about the type of workplace that Google offers, and why they offer that. Professional kitchens, on-site laundry, the bikes, getting speakers to come in and give talks, all that stuff.

Google wants to be more than just a job to its employees. They want "being a Googler" to be a part of their employees life and part of their identity. (I'm not saying this as criticism.)

So, what would Google prefer: An upset Googler, or a happy productive person who is employed by Google? I can see why it might be easier to retain the former than the latter. Especially if they think this is a temporary thing that will blow over, and they might be right.
This would make a lot of sense if the de-facto restaurant experience involved you cooking your own eggs, especially if the egg-cooking experience was notoriously laborious and expensive.

If we swap "egg" and "cooking" with "VM" (or "bare metal" if it suits you better) and "maintaining", suddenly "serverless" doesn't sound so ridiculous.
It's macromanagement. It's a big clear fault line that regulators can see from outer space, instead of trying to evaluate whether Apple App Store charging Spotify a given percentage is anti-competitive based on a detailed analysis of their cost structure and having to argue about the allocation of fixed costs between business units.

It also has the advantage of creating a de facto limit on entity size so we don't end up with corporations more powerful than elected governments.

And it's not a prohibition on vertical integration whatsoever, only on vertical integration for companies with market power in any market.

> Do you have any plans to cater to devops engineers who want to use infrastructure as code tools such as Pulumi or Terraform to manage both their Kubernetes cluster and their other cloud resources (e.g. AWS RDS database) with one tool?

Yes, this is a request that we've gotten from current users, and we'd like to release a Terraform module in the next two months that allows users to provision a cluster compatible with Porter for this exact use-case. We're also thinking about releasing a Terraform module that can install a cluster hosting the PaaS layer for fully on-prem use-cases. This wouldn't be too hard to do considering our cluster provisioner is packaged as a Terraform runner and we use Terraform to manage our infrastructure internally.

Also, we're going to open-source our provisioner in a separate repo at some point soon, and we're thinking about using Pulumi to get slightly more control over the automated infrastructure provisioning (using Pulumi's automation API: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/automation-api/). So I wouldn't be surprised if we released something more native to Pulumi as well, but we have to look into it more.

> Also, just so you know, the abbreviation IdP (with that particular capitalization) is already a term in security, particularly in the context of single sign-on; there it stands for identity provider. Edit: I suggest IPaaS as an alternative.

I thought I recognized that abbreviation -- I believe we picked it up after reading an interesting article about various internal dev platforms[1] (to be fair, that article uses the capitalization IDP).

They are both gatekeepers. YouTubeTV is demanding preferential treatment in the search results.
Sure, but this is already priced in. Most equity doesn't go completely down the toilet overnight, but it also doesn't give you spectacular overnight returns.

So it's still a game, only for lower stakes in both directions.
The most ridiculous example of this is Tesla's offering of in-app Autopilot upgrades. At $10k, imagine what Apple's cut is, for absolutely no value added.
Have you tried consuming less media overall?

I'm at the point where not only are the various set-top boxes and smart devices trash, but the content is as well.

I don't want to watch recycled stories from my childhood, but darker and grittier. I imagine good content exists, but honestly I just can't be bothered to hunt it down anymore, and then wade through the literal sea of ads required to watch it.
Our company is pushing us to come back. They expect higher attrition this year since people don't want to come back.
I get your point. Perhaps not a Ponzi scheme in the traditional sense. In the Ponzi scheme you described, the value of the currency is stable but the account is hidden. In Bitcoin, we have the opposite.

The "Ponzi scheme" is enabled on bitcoin not by hiding the bank account, but manipulation of the value of the currency itself. In both cases, the n holder is benefiting from the n+1 holder by convincing them to pay more for what the sell as a profitable investment, and each transaction value should be greater than the one before it for it to work. So it is a form of a Ponzi scheme, not the traditional one you described. Sure, I have a transparent ledger, but what exactly do those numbers account for? I tell you, it is a great, wonderful investment, easy way to make money, it is the future, just pay me x amount more than what I paid.

The issue here is that bitcoin is not appreciating due to advancements, growth or the extra value it providers to society, in fact as it stands it has negative impact. No, it is appreciating only due to social hype in the intersubjective social reality. It is a scam.
Consumers will go where the apps are: if developers increasingly exit the Apple and Google ecosystems, which seem beset with nearly daily anti-developer actions, the only other option is Linux app development for mobile. The hardware is ready, cheap, and good enough.

"Average consumers" are becoming increasingly technically sophisticated as demographics shift, and of course the two leading mobile OSs are already Unix-based. While they're not marketed as "*nix" to end users, they absolutely were marketed as such to developers.
What stops Google from making the same demands they allegedly made to Roku to Apple?

I recently had a change of heart on this issue when the prevalence of fraudulent apps on the App Store was documented[1]. It's hard to argue that Apple is providing significant benefit to either consumers or developers for their 30% cut when they seem incapable of reigning in obvious fraud.

In addition, I think Apple pushing subscriptions as a solution for long term app funding (instead of upgrade pricing or other options) has resulted in apps as simple as text editors or todo apps needlessly becoming subscription services. Apple didn't invent SaaS, but they sure did popularize it for consumer-facing apps.

Overall, Apple has not been a good steward of the App Store.

No, you cannot trust management at google. This site is clear evidence of that:

https://killedbygoogle.com/

I can think of no product at google that is not overshadowed by their policy of non-support. The culture that leads to their innovation also informs trust. If there is any such thing as "too innovative" then google is it.

This is why Azure is doing so much better than google in cloud computing despite the fact that google invented modern cloud computing. People trust Microsoft to support their products.
This is a really good video, it lays everything out clearly and explains it well. I even threw $50 at Louis's gofundme.

It's always bizarre to me to see regular people arguing against right to repair in online discussions. Literally the only parties who benefit from planned obsolescence is device manufacturers, and it happens at the customer's expense 100% of the time. Either these people are dumb, or (most likely) they don't actually understand what "right to repair" means, or at the very least are confused about it.
Is there a market for it? $200 Android devices with a big battery and decent performance and so on are out there, so I wonder how many people are worried enough about a swappable battery.

Jitterbug makes the phone to sell their service, so it's not directly comparable (it does demonstrate that the devices aren't that expensive to produce).
There was a blog post posted here recently from someone who saw Google as a "family" and drank a lot of koolaid, as well as stories of high levels of entitlement. I wonder if there's a similar phenomenon going on where people assume that companies pampering them is a given and that they can get anything they want by complaining enough.

What they might find instead is the shock that "grass is greener on the other side" was a lie all along.
That's not surprising, I've seen a lot of cases where Mobile Safari has different bugs than the desktop one.

I think RTR is the wrong fight - things like controlling the actions of software running on your computer, and right to an API into that software are as, if not more, important. And on the mobile front, moving towards "apps" is the epitome of this (f you reddit).

Hardware is a harder problem, but meaningless if everything is locked down, or practically disadvantageous to modify, at a software level - corps can leverage software complexity by making those that go off-piste have to manage it all (e.g app-stores).
And yet vertical integration is a big part of why Apple products are so loved. By denying the option of vertical integration, you’re forcing the totality of products we use to be incrementally a little bit more crap.
Hah, that did occur to me as a strategy for fending off the soon-to-come "get back to the office" edict.

Hopefully we can all meet half way with some form of flexible working. One size doesn't fit all.
You own the stock in perpetuity, not just for a year. As long as you don't expect the company to go bust any time soon that's not a bad PE ratio.

Probably. Its the same as people saying they'll move to Canada if so and so becomes president. A few people do, but the vast majority don't.
No, I did not change my mind, and it wasn’t a straw man :)

Unfortunately it is you who seem to be lacking the requisite knowledge to evaluate the merit of my argument…

Suffice to say, the various divisibility-related properties of integers are very closely related to ring theory. In the ring of integers (called Z), numbers of the form n*i for all i form an ideal (called nZ). As you can see these are the numbers divisble by a given n.

Thus in the context of integers and divisibility, the term “ideal” is not some niche jargon, but in fact a crucial concept that anyone with a rudimentary understanding of number theory (which is very closely related to abstract algebra) have encountered.

Of course not all of us software engineers have encountered these concepts as part of our formal education, but I would expect some familiarity from the alumni of any semi-decent software engineering college or university.
isn't it funny that when you're trying to praise tech you like, all sorts of examples jump into mind, but when you try criticizing something you like - all that imagination vanishes and all existing examples can be dismissed as strange :)
This article suffers from hindsight bias by virtue of focusing on the US stock market, for which this has been an exceptionally good century. If you were to include the markets of Britain, the Netherlands, Japan, Germany, France, Poland, China, Argentina, and Switzerland, the picture doesn't look so rosy. Anything you invested in the Giełda Pieniężna w Warszawie in 01926, for example, would have evaporated in 01939; despite the "liberation" of Poland in 01945, no stock exchange would reopen there for 50 years.

Poland is an extreme case, but so is the US—I don't think any other country's stocks did so well during the 20th century. If someone were to write an article about how well Esso/ExxonMobil stock has done from 01926 to 02021 (11.9% I think), it would be easy to understand that this wasn't a recommendation to hold ExxonMobil for the next century, much less some other arbitrary stock; obviously the investors 95 years ago in the F.W. Woolworth Company and the Kennecott Mines Company didn't do quite as well, which is precisely why nobody would write an article today about buying and holding Woolworth's stock.

Will the US do so well over the next century? The spectacular bungling of the covid pandemic suggests that it may not.
The other option is that management is lying about what is important to them. I can accept that as well.
My company made a survey earlier this year about WFH. There was overwhelming support for it. Around 90 % want to work at least one day per week from home. A quarter want to work completely from home. Employer satisfaction went up a lot in 2020. Productivity, revenue, earnings and new hires reached unprecedented levels for the company.

Management went over this in the virtual all-hands meeting. They acknowledged all the reports - 2020 being "The Best Year for The Company, Ever", 2021 on the same road. Then concluded with: "We don't like seeing all that empty office space, so everyone will be brought back as soon as possible". I'm not paraphrasing - they literally said they don't like empty offices.
So you are saying ineffective lockdowns are ineffective.

I gave a specific example of Melbourne and I was implying a specific timeframe when their lockdown went into effect. They went from having uncontrolled community spread, with tens of thousands of infections, to actually zero. They did it by having a very detailed plan, strict enforcement, high compliance, and an excellent testing regime. They also had clear goals and thresholds for lifting restrictions and communicated them to the public.

I generally agree that ineffective lockdowns mostly just slow down the spread. The spread picks up again exactly in proportion to restrictions being lifted. However, effective lockdowns have actually been able to eradicate the virus completely from whole areas: from Melbourne, from Victoria, from all of Australia, New Zealand, and several Asian countries. You need to be able to quarantine international travel and have high compliance. The places where the virus have been eradicated have to remain on high alert and remain extremely vigilant until they can roll out mass vaccination. I spent 10 months in Australia during the pandemic, 99% of the time stuck in the ACT. The extreme vigilance was contact tracing, social distancing, and some restrictions. There wasn't a mask wearing mandate, ever, because they never allowed uncontrolled community spread.

The US and European countries cannot meet those criteria, so they have the virus simmering until they can roll out massive vaccination. The US and Europe were too slow to take the pandemic seriously because their political leaders rolled in BS and denial for months and seeded their idiot followers with denialism. It's too late for them, and the only way out is vaccination. And yet, some idiots are still rolling out conspiracy theories about vaccination and want to f** that up, too. It's so disappointing.

I think it's a matter of keeping the hands aligned with forearm and not having pressure on the write joints themselves. I try to keep the palms of my hand (the same part you hit with in martial arts) on the "wrist rests" instead, and I've had zero issues for years. For me, the biggest problems I had came from using various mice and never finding a good one until I moved to a MacBook and learned the trackpad. Now I've literally adhered a magic trackpad 2 to the middle of a Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard and I love it. It translates back and forth between using the laptop and a "docked" setup better than anything else I've tried over the years.

I don't think that repairability is better for sustainability in general, if we are speaking about electronics. Making an electronic device more repairable would make it more complex (again, not in every case, but in general). Where before a manufacturer could just solder numerous components to a single board, now will be arrays of sockets each of which is a new point of possible failure. Glue will be replaced by magnets, clips, etc. which is great for repair, but again, makes device more complex. And still most people will get rid of them after a few years of use. Consumerism is the top enemy of sustainability.

Right to repair is a complex endeavour. There will be no simple solutions.
Except the web experience is now being handicapped to not provide full resolution content.
"I'm really surprised one of the android vendors hasn't focused on the niche of easy to repair phones."

With the right marketing, this could be very successful.

"A repairable phone built to last," or some other creative slogan and marketing campaign centered around how wasteful and expensive other phones built around planned obsolescence are.

Caring about the ecosystem, recycling, and reuse is mainstream now (witness the BBC right-to-repair article itself, published on a mainstream news platform), so a company showing that it's sensitive to these concerns should do well.
