Somehow, I just assumed that because git is based on content-addressed storage DAG that GitHub internally heavily leveraged a distributed hash table and content-addressed storage DAG. With content-addressed storage, all of the stored data is immutable, so caching is significantly simplified, and a DHT can scale very well horizontally. Care still needs to be taken around the transactions that change DAG roots (heads of branches), but the rest is just making sure immutable blobs are sufficiently replicated in the DHT.

A DHT isn't a great fit for really rapidly changing data like metrics and such, but I figured that everything required to keep the basic git clone, commit, and web serving functionality is a pretty natural fit for a DHT.

I figured even code search had a relatively small amount of storage for indexing recent commits, with compaction of that data resulting in per-token skiplists stored into the DHT. That way, failure outside of the DHT serving path still allows code search for all commits older than the latest (incremental) compaction. Distributed refcounting or Bloom filters could be used for garbage collecting the immutable blobs in the DHT. The probability of a reference cycle in SHA-256 hashes of even quadrillions of immutable blobs is vanishingly small.

I run ssh for git inside a "from scratch" container with the git binary running unprivileged as an application. There is no need to interact with the host operating system.

Backups can be handled by a backup container. If the host OS is stateless, there is nothing to backup. All you care about are data volumes, which you can then use any automated container daemon backup solution for. A very well solved problem.

For rotating https certs, there are endless letsencrypt containers that automate that for you too.

The point is you do the work for what you need up front, once, and then you don't need much work to keep it maintained.

Presumably life isn't a race at all, which makes you wonder why everyone is in such a rush to attend university when they are young and don't yet have the resources to pay for it. It will be still be there when you are older and the pursuit of knowledge will still be every bit as enjoyable. It may be even more enjoyable as you then have the life experience to appreciate it. Retirement is meant for these types of hobbies.

But maybe that’s what I’m getting at. Something resonates with people when asked this question—that’s why we’re here. I’m curious what you are looking for — and especially what you might not be finding.
Ukraine videos serve perfectly well to corroborate the intelligence we have from other sources. Maps of the invasion show stalled Russian forces. Radio intercepts reveal disfunction. Casualty estimates from multiple sources, including Russia itself, demonstrate fierce resistance.

So when dozens of Ukraine war videos emerge and we see one APC full of Russian conscripts after another cooking off after a missile strike it serves us pretty well in understanding the dynamic.

Sites hosted on Netlify literally just depend on a github repo with a TOML configuration file at the root.

For basic static sites, which I imagine fit the needs of the majority of personal hosting, it's incredibly trivial to point the same repo at a different static hosting platform.

Watching friends struggle and work hard while making little progress for years as job after job rejects them for being overqualified or for not already having 30 years of experience tells me this is a reasonable expectation. If there was a ladder up, it's been conclusively kicked down. Some of them get lucky with a tech job and, if all goes well from here, might retire before 80.
For a site filled with developers y’all really misunderstand the whole 30% cut thing.

It’s an alternate way to pay for API, sdk, and platform access.

Before the era of phones, if you wanted to develop for some kind of gated platform, for example video game consoles, one would have to pay very high SDK fees. Fees that would scale based on licensed seat, enterprise size, and more. Then when you ship, you’d pay royalties on a per item basis. You sold a game cartridge or cd? Great, a portion of your sale prices goes back to Sony/Nintendo/whatever.

If Apple and google were to provide un-marked up card services, they’d probably charge 3-5% like stripe: there’s a certain amount of fraud that would be priced in.

Then they would charge for dev tools. A lot. They’d probably charge for API or SDK usage, perhaps tied to the sales volume and enterprise size.

But instead they give the tools away for free, and charge at point of delivery.

I think the current situation is actually a great deal for developers: you get access to an always improving platform, it’s free for personal/hobby use, and if you make sales, you get paid. And the first $X is fee reduced/free. And it’s a highly available distribution platform that scales world wide. Good luck getting your Indy game into every brick and mortar store.

The world is really different, and way way better, for developers. This Spotify announcement is great for users, it’s handy to have all your subscriptions in one platform. And not having to sign up on a desktop or outside the app flow.

I think the point there is that all of what you've mentioned are one-time "costs". You set them up in the beginning (and presumably the parent is managing this stuff in Ansible or Chef or whatever, so if the box irreparably dies, it's not hard to provision a new one) and then you don't need to worry about them.

(The one recurring thing is TLS cert rotation, but for a home/personal server I'd presume most people would just use Let's Encrypt via certbot, which will auto-renew via cron.)

No, not really since Big Data became a thing. Everyone is expected to know the basics. You’re early in your career so you have a lot of flexibility.

Do what you love. Tech sales isn’t really focused on data and they are well-paid. Most medical fields with the exception of epidemiology aren’t focused on data as an example either if you’re looking for a career that pays well.

Once you have children and big bills it becomes harder to make big transitions.

I might need some perspective. Every time I read one of these I'm just shaking my head, and yes the arguments are Less Power, Less Control, but also SysAdmin is me. That is my identity, and the part of the job that I like the most. I solve problems with configuration before code. So I hate to think that I'm becoming obsolete, of course. I also don't think that I am, because I do think that my way has some clear and definite advantages over eg. Netlify. I also think that "my site is free as in beer and also lightning fast" generally transposes to "my site doesn't have any traffic". Am I deluded? I recognize that I have a clear bias, but even stepping back, I do think that even if some don't need a VPS (or server) anymore, that there is still room for my ilk in the tech world.
Those race conditions are always tricky to reproduce.
Right, but it seems like many people here are assuming the 30% cut is for subscription management / payment processing only, ignoring that arguably it also covers all the other benefits the access to centralized App Store gives.

Neither company is going to say “oh, you’re using another payment processor? Ok, our cut is now 0.”

Much more likely the argument will be “oh, you’re using another payment processor? That’s fine, industry standard payment processing fee is 3 percent, our cut will be correspondingly 27%”

Not sure what you're talking about. From the article I got that the monitor works without the extra features like audio and camera with a standard DP cable with USB-C connector, which is good enough for someone shopping for just a monitor.

I imagine that dealing with the feelings of failing society, which has taught us that having children is the worst thing you can do in your life, would be the hardest part. It was still hard to deal with that sentiment when I had my children in my late 30s, even though by that time I had enough life experience to realize that it silly to worry about what other people think. The mind is an interesting thing.
Not quite. tptacek says "Most people would say that reducing the threshold to discover security bugs is a good thing." I think that restating what tptacek said earlier, "mostly orthoganal", to "largely doesn't matter", loses some of the meaning.

One way of seeing it is that it's mostly orthaganal at a level of all software out there, but that for those who make a serious effort to be secure, there is a lot of benefit to being open source.

There's Linus's Law, "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". I think if the maintainers of Linux didn't meaningfully address security concerns, it would just mean they were doing a bit better at whack-a-mole. You see this in popular open source projects like WordPress.

So I think that's why a reader might think tptacek's two comments don't jibe with each other. If you are given a choice between an open source and a closed source application, you wouldn't just assume one is more secure than another. However, if you were starting off to make a secure system, it would be a good idea to make it open source.

I think we’re between a rock and a hard place. We can’t tighten the student loan spigot. We have held out college as the route to upward mobility for everyone, especially Black people and immigrants, and the demographics of the people who will be excluded from tightening student loans will make it politically toxic.

In view of that I see no alternatives to price controls. Any school that takes federal student loans can charge no more than $X,000 annually. I hate price controls but I don’t see the alternative in a market where government policies otherwise both goose demand and limit supply.
Congratulations to the new addition to your family!
I urge you to get out from behind your desk and actually talk to people who are adversely impacted by people's poor behavior on a day-to-day basis. (This will help you determine who these "unspecified" people are for yourself.) Even though you are "brown” it doesn't grant you license to make excuses for jerks.

Others can argue "we don't need your help," and that's fine, but at this point in time, given where we are today as a society, and the damage I see done to people on a frequent basis, I'd rather err on the side of helping in a constructive way, how the impacted people ask us to, and advocating for people to be respectful. Call people like me "paternalistic" and "othering" if you must; it's just a rhetorical smear as far as I'm concerned. Highfalutin' characterizations add as little to this conversation as simpler-sounding ones.

> we can’t just adopt the most extreme standards in deference to unspecified “numerous” people carrying unspecified “baggage.”

There's nothing extreme whatsoever about adopting a professional demeanor. You are arguing against a position I do not hold. Again, I beg you, check your straw men at the door, and stick to the subject.

> [ways to extinguish a fire] remove the heat (e.g. spraying a fire with water)

I've always wondered about this. To me i assume water smoothers not makes cold. After all, water doesn't extinguish an oil fire, (which is i presume because oil floats) which i would expect it to if its solely about cooling things down.

Are there any experiments i could convince myself its really about cold and not smoothering?

Absolutely. The tech field is broad and deep. There are plenty of tech jobs which have nothing to do with data science. Data science is honestly a pretty small part of the tech landscape.

Social alienation is a coping mechanism, and like most/all coping mechanisms, it provides some value, but at a cost.

The value of social alienation is that you can walk down a crowded street and not be asked by every single person how your day is going, what you got up to last night, how your cat's doing, etc. etc. Caring about the intimate details of everyone else's life just doesn't scale. At some point you need to be able to call out some people as being more important to you than others, and ignore the rest.

And of course, this can damage you emotionally, make you numb to the needs of others, and prevent you from forming a community with the people around you.
There are two or three scare-mongering arguments in the article that I cannot believe to be true. The rest might be valid but throwing-in these makes the whole post less valuable:

- traffic might take your site down: it's never going to happen, although I understand why one would hope so

- SSH attacks: change your default port

- shellshock: you use or used CGI scripts in the last decade?

Warning: US centric post below.

If you could file bankruptcy on private student loans, education costs would plummet overnight. Before you claim that education quality will go down, MOST of the money for both private and public colleges/universities ends up somewhere else beyond education. Football stadiums, expensive ad campaigns, fancy buildings, large marketing departments, even political lobbying. Kill off untouchable private loans and place restrictions on public loans then you will see money flow in the right direction.

ISAs are foolish, regardless, because you don't need a degree to write code or manage infrastructure. My income was near $400,000 last year, and I not only didn't go to college, I dropped out of high school due to being homeless. In either W2 or contractual work, I've NEVER had a company question why I did not have a college degree. I understand some folks need the structure, and I think those folks need to be protected. For non engineering jobs or more structured jobs, ISAs are borderline criminal. For everyone else? Unless you like throwing away money that you don't have, stay away.
> I meant there isn't additional logistical overhead involved in stopping operations for a day for robots, whereas there's tons when workers are involved.

Isn't it interesting how much the PR post (calling it an 'article' is a misnomer) downplays Wasmer's efforts to trademark "wasm"? It's almost like the effort to trademark "wasm" belies the bad faith intentions of Wasmer amd they want to avoid drawing attention to it.

The whole "it's not our fault, blame our lawyers" combined with "we decided to wait on issuing a non-apology until we thought the conversation would be productive for us" really doesn't make Wasmer look good.

Yes, although be sure you are stable enough to handle the stress. I'm bipolar type 1, although I have only had full manic episodes after drugs. Those episodes lasted for months after the cessation of drug use.

I worked at a FAANG years ago, in internships. Not exactly the same as a full time SWE, but I think I got a taste of it. Unfortunately, this was when I was undiagnosed, and I ended up experiencing hypomania with some paranoid delusions during the internship. After being hospitalized my senior year of college, I took a job at a lower stakes company not on either of the coasts for several years after graduating from college instead of going back there or to a similar company. The stress and separation from my support network were not worth it for me, at the time.

Years later, I have a very successful engineering career at a public tech company. Therapy, and more importantly, correct diagnosis and medication saved me. It's not a FAANG, but I make around $300k TC in a low to mid cost of living area, working remotely, and am set to pay off my home before turning 30. Married with a dog, planning on kids. The expectations at the company are high, but it's not as stressful as the FAANG internships were. I considered going back to one, but the situation here is really good. I think what changed was more how I approach work than the challenge of the work itself. Medication seriously is a godsend.

It's not all peaches, though. At one point, during a hypomanic episode unrelated to work around pandemic and general stress, I broke down with my director on a Zoom call and ended up telling him that I'm bipolar and needed some help. He worked with me to remove me from the on call rotation, since sleep deprivation was my primary issue. I wouldn't recommend necessarily coming out with your diagnosis and would actively advise against it in most cases, but there are situations when you have really good relationships where it can go well. I don't feel like revealing my diagnosis in private with someone I trust has hurt my career in any way. On the contrary, it has helped me find a sustainable work environment.

I'd prefer to stay anonymous, but I'll monitor comments here for a few days if you have any questions. Good luck to you. Please try not to let your diagnosis hold you back, but also realize that it is OK to take a lower stress position to prioritize your health. I am happy that I didn't try to chase FAANG but wouldn't rule it out in the future if the right situation came along.
