Ingress that handles SSL. nginx, or caddy. Then stand up your app server behind that on the same VM. Database can be on the same or different VM.

I try to not use anything else if I can avoid it on a new project.

Ingress gives you the ability to load balance and is threaded and will scale with network transfer and cpu. Database should scale with a bump in VM specs as well, CPU and disk IOPS.

If you keep your app server stateless you can simply multiply it for the number of copies you need for your load.

Systemd can keep your app server running, it you docker it up and use that

...why would you leave a tablet or a laptop in a shopping cart?! I don't mean 'why did you forget', why would you leave it out of your hand at all, or leave anything in a shopping cart? I pull out my phone to check a price or product specification sometimes when shopping, but then I put it back in my pocket, not in my grocery basket.

>If the porcelain top on my toilet breaks, I'm not in debt because I choose not to replace it.

you do know what "tech debt" is, right? In your metaphor, your top may have 0% debt because only you use the bathroom and no one cares, or it has a potentially high debt in that you receive more germs from your bathroom and get more sick, costing you money to buy medicine to keep you not sick. The debt is objective but we live in a world where finding that objective measure is infeasible.

to use your cheese metaphor, it's more like boldly claiming the earth is 35% iron. it's something you can quickly google and is acceptable through decades of study, but it also wouldn't be surprising if better tooling and measurements later on specify "it's actually 33.42% iron". Important for a geologist, splitting hairs for a casual audience.

We are very much a casual audience, and splitting hairs over a metaphor isn't that productive.

It's not an easy thing; frankly, if I have to back convert to prior times when the Calendar was still in use, you have to just swallow the pill

However, if using the calendar in day to day life, the Revised System is much easier.

To quote Wikipedia:

leap years being every year divisible by 4, except years divisible by 100 and not by 400. Years divisible by 4000 would also be ordinary years. This calendar also has the benefit that every year in the third century of the Republican Era (1992–2091) begins on 22 September.
Problem: There are lots of forums like r/AppIdeas, r/ideas, indiehackers, hackernews etc where people post their ideas/products/landing-pages for feedback. They sparsely get any feedback as the other people on these forums are also looking for feedback, but not willing to "give" feedback.

Solution: Created a Discord Server where you need to give 3 feedbacks to request 1. This way it encourages people to participate in the discussion instead of just spamming their ideas.

Traction: 40 signups so far.

> An attacker could “prank” someone by wiping their MacBook, activating it with their own Apple ID, and then reporting it as lost. The victim then has no way to recover it.

An attacker can also prank you by running a drill through your laptop.

I feel like this story is just a longer version of "I left my laptop at the airport and never saw it again." The moral should be don't let your laptop leave the airport without you.
I wrap the handles of all my travel stuff in patterned washi tape. Multiple times at luggage return I have seen someone else pick it up and then immediately set it back down.
I see “oiōn” (οιων), not “oino” (οινο or οινω). I don’t see how it could be read as “wine”.
οιων could be several things off the top of my head:

1. the beginning of some form of of οἰωνός “omen”

2. genitive plural of οἶς, meaning “of sheep”

3. a genitive plural of some other word with a stem ending in -οι-, but with the beginning of the word missing. For example, the demonstrative τοίων “of such”, relative οἵων “of which”, or ποίων “of a certain kind”. Or, as speculated in the article, ὁμοίων “same”.

The 3rd option seems most likely to me without any further context. ὁμοίων seems especially plausible since the preceding characters do resemble "ΟΜ".
Should have been a travel insurance claim.

This person lost their laptop at an airport - to all intents and purposes it was stolen. They even bought a replacement on the assumption they weren't going to see it again.

The person who returned the laptop returned an unusable MacBook that Apple refuses to even confirm is the original laptop that belonged to them. In addition they incurred shipping and import costs to have this brick shipped. But they don't have their laptop back in working order, so... effectively that laptop was stolen and destroyed, just as surely as if a stranger at the airport had grabbed it and smashed it in front of them.

Let the insurance company deal with this stuff.
I think it's completely reasonable for a CEO to have a different view, and when you're a tiny startup, it's very fair.

Exactly. One is for work, and one for personal use. And both of them are coming with me when I leave.

The value argument does not hold water to me. Why does the value of two laptops matter, but not the amount of money in my bank account? Why would I go the roundabout way of selling one of my laptops in Mexico, when I have money in my bank account that I can use directly.

The whole system is weird. And it ends up unfairly punishing travellers. When they should be focusing on the big scale stuff.
I didn't set up "Find My". The connection with the Activation Lock wasn't obvious to me.

The main thing Apple emphasizes is that you can recover a missing device. But it wasn't obvious to me how that would work without an internet connection (unlike with an iPhone where I have a data plan).

Protecting unwanted disclosure of data is different than preventing the erasing of a device, which is where I'm stuck.
Since throwaway I can be totally transparent- I am obsessed with financial independence and providing for my family. Everything else is a means to it. I don’t really care for a “career” as society defines it. I also believe that you can (and should) do well while doing good. As such I agree. That building something the world needs is super critical but am not sure if I need to be as obsessed with the problem and solution. I am rather obsessed with the over arching idea of “build something people want”. Also with startups there is a high chance one may have to shift/pivot from the problem they started with.

Part of my challenge, (because of my obsession with build something people want) with jumping into my own startup is don’t have an “idea” or problem and how to go exploring it. So I feel I don’t have anything that people want. Since you have done a startup can you share anything that helped you through the ideating phase to pick a direction to start with? Any books or resources would also be great that expand on the ideating phase. If I had an understanding of how to go through that journey I would do that in my spare time and that would also allow me to jump into the idea more confidently when the time came.
But it also frustrates legitimate users. I think we should balance the extra security needed to prevent attacks versus creating a kafkaesque nightmare for ourselves.
Canonical did a good job catching this quickly. I hope they use this as a learning opportunity to improve their processes going forward.

I’m a bit confused.

According to Apple’s documentation Activation lock is enabled when you turn on Find My Mac and disabled when turned off.

How did it get activated in the first place if it the author never set up “Find My”?
I had a similar issue with Apple a few days ago. I was running and an AirPod fell out of my ear and I just happened to be by a drainage drain. It fell through the grate. I immediately rode my bike to the Apple Store (still with a working case and left AirPod) and purchased a replacement right AirPod. The Apple person who helped disconnected the left one and told me to have it plugged in for 30 minutes so the case and AirPods could reconnect and connect to my phone.

Except they didn't. I brought it back to Apple after lots of phone calls and troubleshooting and Apple has now told me that something must have gotten messed up with the software. I am able to buy a new pair of AirPods if I would like to, or I can spend $250 for them to diagnose the issue (the price of a new set of AirPods).

I can't imagine having a problem like this that seems so obvious to be a software bug and passing that cost down to the consumer instead of making it right. I left the Apple Store in a worse situation than when I arrived. I had a working case and one working AirPod. I left with having spent $90 on my replacement AirPod, with none of them working.

I worked at Apple years ago in Apple Retail. I am shocked the people there thought this was the right approach to take. I love Apple products, but this is making me rethink the Apple ecosystem. I am certainly not buying another pair of AirPods. The environmental impacts of this also irk me. Instead of trying to solve the problem they want me to just throw away my AirPods and buy new ones.

If a company has a software issue and pushes the cost of that bug onto the consumer the company is incredibly unlikely to ever solve it. Apple pushed the pain point of their software issue onto the consumer. That's a painful experience as a customer.

I disagree. The user has accessibility needs and preferences that the app developers necessarily can't know about. App developers shouldn't be trying to enforce styles/themes/icons on the user when they might be completely unusable depending on their needs. The inconsistencies between KDE and GNOME apps/themes are annoying, but that's a solvable problem.
On the contrary, I've professionally seen even technical users get confused by their OS hiding the scroll bar, and them not realizing what they're looking for requires scrolling.

Frankly, it's broken behavior.
They assume you are going to be working when you have multiple laptops like that. Sort of a faulty way for them to collect taxes from the nomad/expat crowd who are skirting income taxes.
Most things running labview for critical applications like you mention use labvew to write the program and then send the program to a embedded target device that actually runs it.

Rarely anymore do we have a PC with a bunch or wires coming out running your factory.

It's stuff like this NI compactrio:

https://www.ni.com/en/shop/compactrio.html?cid=PSEA-7013q000...

You create and debug the labview program on your pc, you then compile and send it to the compactrio device, which itself runs rtos Linux and then runs your compiled code.
The only thing I really wonder is how these things wind up on the frontpage here. Is it the lack of a downvote function?

Because holy shit, I can't imagine an article missing the point as hard as this one does. I'm trying my best to not be rude to random strangers on the Internet, but this is a level of misunderstanding that is so strong it feels difficult for my brain to not automatically assume malice. I'm not celebrating someone's market success when they just accomplished it by exploiting goodwill to get there, and almost universally pretend like what they're doing is good for open source, "protecting" open source, or anything else other than what it actually is, defending their business models.

I hope it's sarcasm and I'm just out of the loop.

"It looks like you're writing a threatening letter! :) " - clippy, probably
People accept it because they believe in the security model.

For a lot of those people, the security model just works. Same for their online activities and apps.

There are at least these scenarios:

They have been helped by the model. Yay Apple!

Nothing has happened to them yet. Yay Apple, and surely Apple being so great is why.

They have been burned by the model. BOO Apple!

Fact is the machine is not broken and is working as designed.

The owner did not take full advantage of the security and left the door open for someone else to walk through.

No judgment on the owner.

Now Apple? Yeah, a bit too draconian for me.

And I am on the other side of this mess. Bought a very new M1 Air from them. Cheap because the owner had died and nobody knew the password.

Interestingly, I had booted into recovery mode, and I found I could mount the SSD and a USB thumb drive which let me pull docs, pictures and such for them.

After that, I was able to boot into installing a fresh OS, supply my Apple ID and use the computer just fine...

Had it been in lost or stolen status? Probably would not have worked out..

At the time, I gave security a lot of thought. The Apple stuff is good enough people really do need to understand it or risk bad scenarios like this.

(I turned Find on)

My daily driver is a lenovo. The Apple is a fun machine for me.

You asked why. Hope this helps.
>Or don’t buy overpriced gear from a company that is aggressively user-hostile.

This adds nothing to the conversation. Saying "Just stop using it", when 'it' is the most popular mobile phone in the US and one of the dominant computer manufacturers in the world is a gross oversimplification. You say it's that easy, but it isn't. And you know that.
Realistically, can this result in anything else besides the insurance company laughing at you?
> But it wasn't obvious to me how that would work without an internet connection

I believe Bluetooth pinging the iPhones of passersby.
The problem is, once the tourists leave the airport, who knows that the tourists will sell the laptop? Thus it is like importing a laptop.
Thanks!

That also raises a different question about people's introspection and ability to accurately answer questions about their utility and preferences, but that's a bit far afield from the mathematical question.
> better results...

Admissions into the most competitive universities.

Harvard and MIT are full of kids that burnt themselves out in private schools, cram schools, crazy California & New Jersey public high schools. They were so tired, they did lazy stuff in college and after graduation, squandering their outstanding gifts and great opportunities. Could be as many as 1 in 3 students, and in my opinion, it's rising!

Also, would it really be great to run a schools program - perhaps even a residential one, perhaps even compulsory, perhaps singling out groups of particularly behind demographics - and forces their kids to spend way longer in school?

These ideas have been tried. People have this flawed thing they do, they think the stuff they like is the future and the stuff they don't like is the past. The future is an objective reality, and more often than not, it's the most visibly troubled communities. San Francisco, where I live, is the future, not the past, of chaos in public schooling, every community will have to transit its problems on a journey to improving schools, whereas your "old Etonian" is literally the past, and what we ought to be doing is dealing with "San Francisco" today, because that's how you'll help Chicago, New York, etc. in the future.

Drivechains: A Detailed Analysis
FYI for "The Shinkai films" it's Your Name and 5 Centimeters Per Second.

The first is the second largest domestic box office ever for Japan (after Spirited Away) while also being critically acclaimed.

The latter is quite well received critically, but was less popular (without spoiling anything, the ending is somewhat divisive). Still at a 63 minute runtime it's well worth watching, IMO.

Also, I'll second the Wolf Children recommendation. Everybody in my family liked it, and that's rather rare for a film.
I only used a macbook personally around 2009, but I imagine these days you can't just buy a new drive and install MacOS on it...

I don't understand why we accept a product there the above isn't possible. If security is the argument, those claims need to have some proof of a widespread problem actually existing that was solved by removing the ability to swap your drive in your own computer.
Is it possible that they swapped the lower case? It's easy to remove.

>It's my opinion that most companies are 90% operating failures / doing stuff that doesn't make sense, while there is 10% that does make sense and subsidizes all the failure. Some people call this taking risks, and indeed the worst places to work take the fewest risks, but I don't think the two are related.

so, is the metaphor of drawer useless in software? Is there no point taking pride in the craft because it's all going to fail anyway?

I don't mean this rhetorically. I just genuinely wonder what and how different people's mindsets are with respect to work in the field. I work in games so success is rarely guaranteed, and shorcuts often taken. There's very few times I can say that better code would have saved a game financially.
Just a whole lot of nonsense. If you want to splice some 25W charger into your 3.8754568351V battery and blow it up, go do it over on Reddit. Somewhere far enough away from here. You've done nothing meaningful to move the Chesterton's Fence.
It’s possible they took it to a local shop that paid them and swapped out the internals with a stolen laptop’s. The external case returned to you would be the same.

> I have never heard anyone blame automative manufactures for the use of getaway cars

This is exactly my point. Yet we have people trying to get tech corporations to act in the role of law enforcement, which they ought not to be doing and certainly ought not be to required to by law.

> nor have I ever heard anyone in that industry vocally minimizing the problem of vehicular crime to avoid some commercial inconvenience.

If you have people demanding that all cars come with government tracking devices under the pretext they could be used in bank robberies and someone in the auto industry notices that bank robberies aren't actually all that common, what should they do? Pretend it to be otherwise?

This is not a matter of commercial inconvenience. The economic cost of writing or installing the code is not the issue. The issue is that this is totalitarianism which once installed would not be limited to enforcing laws against child abuse. One of the reasons privacy is a human right is to protect the public against abuses of the state. It doesn't cease to be a right because the state finds it inconvenient -- the state is meant to find it inconvenient.
I asked them if I show the laptops and the receipt for the import tax when I leave the country, will they refund the import tax.

Nope, that will not happen they told me.

If it was true that it was to avoid that I sell any of the laptops, it should also be possible to get the import taxes refunded upon leaving the country with the same laptops. But such is not the case :(
