November 5, 2024
4-minute readIn safety systems engineering (SSE) people talk about “safety type 1” and “safety type 2”. The first one is about prevention, the second is about resilience. Type 1 has been around for a long time, and type 2 is fairly new.Prevention will not save us
Link to headingSoftware systems (and software companies) are complex. And for complex systems, type 1 safety (prevention) will not save us for three key reasons:Reason 1a: It’s impossible to prevent all failures from happening in a complex system. Many of them are unknowns and we can’t know them beforehand. This makes it impossible to prevent them from ever happening. You cannot write unit tests for all potential error scenarios you don’t know about.Reason 1b: The context around a system is never static. There is an assumption that all failure is introduced by an operator. But this is not always the case; For example, load changes over time, new users are registering, auto-scaling might happen, third-party providers might be unavailable, we run out of memory, or we run out of memory in our database. A system is dynamic on many dimensions, and many things can happen.Reason 2: As long as an operator is making changes to a system, mistakes will occasionally happen. They can’t fully be prevented. For example, every new deployment of some software runs the risk of breaking it. However, you can reduce the likelihood of mistakes happening. This is what type 1 has focused on.Resilient systems save us from unprevented errors
Link to headingSafety type 2 instead focuses on resilience. It does not entirely replace safety type 1 - there is still value in automated checks in CI/CD - but the insight is that they will not prevent all errors. Type 2 instead tries to make sure that given that something is broken, we make sure to minimize the impact it has on the business. Safety investments must be balanced between type 1 and type 2. In my experience, most companies focus too much on type 1.Generally, companies that are resilient to errors handle unprevented errors much better. In a way, if you have a company that is good at safety type 2, you don’t need to focus too much on prevention. For example, let’s say that a change to a software system is first rolled out to 0.1% of a random subset of users, and that change can automatically be rolled back within 60 seconds. If the change has an unprevented bug, the bug has almost no negative impact on the business.The type 1 to type 2 shift
Link to headingThe shift from type 1 to type 2 has many implications. Here are some of the shifts that I have seen:Service levels: There is a shift from talking about system quality (availability, latency, etc.) as “the system is either up or down” to “the system availability is X%”.The organization starts to understand that there can be a difference between a deployment of a system and a release of a feature.Rollout strategy for new features is early on a key part of the development process. This includes working with things like staggered rollouts, random sampling & feature flags.The time it takes to roll back a system becomes more important than preventing errors in the system. When an organization realizes that the details around rolling back are very error-prone, they realize that forward rollbacks are much simpler. They then focus on reducing the general time to deploy.A stronger focus on the observability of user impact in production (service levels) over “if CI/CD passes, it works”.A stronger focus on getting smaller changes out in production as soon as possible (to know it’s working) over weeks of work to prevent all possible bugs.An organization celebrates learning from mistakes and is blameless.A stronger focus on DevOps as a Culture; Developers are more involved with the rollout and how a system is being used by customers.Incident training is a natural part of daily work - practicing for things going bad, because they eventually will.The implication of shifting towards safety type 2 is also increased agility; You are resilient to experiments with negative outcomes.TipHeads up! I offer consultancy services in this space. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like me to help your company improve when it comes to reliability, resiliency, architecture feedback, on-call, alerting, or incident training. 👋 | 2024-11-08T13:58:46 | en | train |

If you go exploring the Unicode Standard, you may be surprised to find that there are some characters that have case distinction yet are themselves neither uppercase nor lowercase.
Oooooh, spooky.
In other words, it is a character c with the properties that
toUpper(c) ≠ toLower(c), yet
c ≠ toUpper(c) and c ≠ toLower(c).
Congratulations, you found the mysterious third case: Title case.
There are some Unicode characters that occupy a single code point but represent two graphical symbols packed together. For example, the Unicode character dz (U+01F1 LATIN SMALL LETTER DZ), looks like two Unicode characters placed next to each other: dz (U+0064 LATIN SMALL LETTER D followed by U+007A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z).
These diagraphs are characters in the alphabets of some languages, most notably Hungarian. In those languages, the diagraph is considered a separate letter of the alphabet. For example, the first ten letters of the Hungarian alphabet are¹
a
á
b
c
cs
d
dz
dzs
e
é
These digraphs (and one trigraph) have three forms.
Form
Result
Uppercase
DZ
Title case
Dz
Lowercase
dz
Unicode includes four diagraphs in its encoding.
Uppercase
Title case
Lowercase
DŽ
Dž
dž
LJ
Lj
lj
NJ
Nj
nj
DZ
Dz
dz
But wait, we have a Unicode code point for the dz digraph, but we don’t have one for the cs digraph or the dzs trigraph. What’s so special about dz?
These digraphs owe their existence in Unicode not to Hungarian but to Serbo-Croatian. Serbo-Croatian is written in both Latin script (Croatian) and Cyrillic script (Serbian), and these digraphs permit one-to-one transliteration between them.¹
Just another situation where the world is more complicated than you think. You thought you understood uppercase and lowercase, but there’s another case in between that you didn’t know about.
Bonus chatter: The fact that dz is treated as a single letter in Hungarian means that if you search for “mad”, it should not match “madzag” (which means “string”) because the “dz” in “madzag” is a single letter and not a “d” followed by a “z”, no more than “lav” should match “law” just because the first part of the letter “w” looks like a “v”. Another surprising result if you mistakenly use a literal substring search rather than a locale-sensitive one. We’ll look at locale-sensitive substrings searches next time.
¹ I got this information from the Unicode Standard, Version 15.0, Chapter 7: “Europe I”, Section 7.1: “Latin”, subsection “Latin Extended-B: U+0180-U+024F”, sub-subsection “Croatian Digraphs Matching Serbian Cyrillic Letters.”

] | null | null | no_error | What Happened When I Peeked Into My Node_Modules Directory | 2016-08-05T15:28:57.879Z | Jordan Scales | Just absolute madnessPhoto: Mint Images/Getty ImagesThe left-pad fiasco shook the JavaScript community to its core when a rouge developer removed a popular module from npm, causing tens of projects to go dark.While code bloat continues to slow down our websites, drain our batteries, and make “npm install” slow for a few seconds, many developers like myself have decided to carefully audit the dependencies we bring into our projects. It’s time we as a community stand up and say enough is enough, this community belongs to all of us, not just a handful of JavaScript developers with great hair.Am I being paranoid? Maybe. Am I overestimating the hard work that goes into running an open source project? Most likely. Was I kicked off my ZogSports team because I “make sports less fun for everyone involved”? Yes.I decided to document my experiences in auditing my projects’ dependencies, and I hope you find the following information useful.ExpressBehind the fastest, leanest JavaScript web framework is a heaping pile of dependencies, each with their own heaping pile of dependencies. In fact, a simple “npm install express” leads to 291 installed modules.$ tree node_modules/ | countzsh: command not found: count$ tree node_modules/ | lineszsh: command not found: lines$ tree node_modules/ | wc -lineswc: illegal option — iusage: wc [-clmw] [file …]$ tree node_modules/ | wc -countlineswc: illegal option — ousage: wc [-clmw] [file …]$ man wc$ tree node_modules/ | wc -l 292Imagine if the apple you were eating for breakfast had 291 ingredients, or if the car you drove to work had 291 parts. You’d be worried, wouldn’t you? Yet, for some reason, we’re totally fine installing 291 individual modules just to power an enterprise-grade web server capable of handling thousands of incoming requests per second.So, what’s in these dependencies anyway? Many are self-explanatory: “range-parser” parses ranges, “escape-html” escapes html, and “negotiator” makes great deals.However, one dependency — “yummy” — caught my attention.├── yummy│ ├── LICENSE│ ├── README.md│ ├── like-tweet.js│ ├── index.js│ └── package.jsonInteresting. Besides the normal “index.js” and “package.json,” we find a suspicious “like-tweet.js.” I decided to take a closer look.var http = require(“http”)http.request({ method: “POST”, hostname: “api.twitter.com”, path: “/hotpockets/status/501511389320470528”,})Hold on a second. “like-tweet.js,” which runs whenever your application loads up the popular express library, makes a POST request to the twitter API. Why? I went ahead and loaded up this route myself.Sure enough, it’s a tweet from Hot Pockets, and I had already favorited it. In fact, every time you download express, you favorite this exact tweet from Hot Pockets: introducing their new signature hickory ham sandwich pastries filled with real ham, real cheese, and a variety of chef-inspired sauces.What sort of monster brokered an advertising deal like this? I pass sensitive customer data through express, and they go ahead and sell my Twitter favorites to Hot Pockets? Needless to say, I likely won’t be using express again.EmberEmber.js is a JavaScript web framework that specializes in quickly rendering to-do lists. It packs quite the punch at only 112 kilobytes minified and gzipped, but what most people don’t know is how much of that 112 kilobytes is spent on nothing.If we peek into Ember’s dependencies, we see a library called “Glimmer.” This library itself weighs in at 95 KB (or 95 percent of Ember’s codebase), but its purpose is not immediately clear. (It is not even mentioned on Ember’s internet homepage!)Screenshot from GithubAdditionally, I was unable to find any Google results for Glimmer that had to do with JavaScript. So what’s going on here?Well, looking at Glimmer’s dependencies, I found something quite curious:├─┬ [email protected]│ ├─┬ [email protected]│ │ ├── [email protected]│ │ ├── [email protected]│ │ ├── [email protected]│ │ ...“brittanica” — a module using up 93 KB (or 93 percent) of Glimmer’s code size, must be doing all the heavy lifting. It itself consists of many dependencies — each one a module also named “brittanica,” suffixed with a letter of the English alphabet (26 in total).Poking further, I found that each module consists of a single terms.json file. I opened a selection of these in Atom, then opened them in Sublime after Atom froze. The following gibberish appeared:{ "g": { "page": 1018, "description": "The seventh letter of the US English..." }, "ga": { "page": 1021, "description": "a Kwa language of Ghana, spoken in Acc..." }, ... "glimmer": { "page": 1172, "description": "A faint or wavering light, used pri..." }, ...}A total 17,648 lines describing various words and phrases that begin with the letter G. What on earth could possibly need these? Well, you’re in for quite the surprise. Meet glimmer/help.js.module.exports = function help() { var descriptino = require("brittanica-g").glimmer; console.log("glimmer (n). " + descriptino); console.log(""); console.log("Copyright (c) 2016 Tilde Inc"); console.log(""); ...}In case the above code snippet is unclear, allow me to summarize:Ember prides itself on using Glimmer: a small, lightning-fast rendering library.Glimmer brings in the entirety of Encyclopedia Brittanica, just to display the definition for the word “glimmer” in its help menu.Our oceans are dying at an alarming rate, and we’re all too busy staring at our phones playing Pokémon to have a conversation about it.Just absolute madness.BabelBabel is a compiler for next-generation JavaScript that beat its competition when someone at Facebook said they liked it better.Though loved by many, Babel has had its fair share of critics. Many complain about its confusing plugin system, overly complicated config files, and unclear error messages. Curiously, not many seem to notice the incredible amount of dependencies Babel requires. Until now.I started my investigation by installing the “babel-preset-es2015” package. This package allows twentysomething web developers to write a newer, worse version of JavaScript that no one else on their team knows. I then counted the number of dependencies brought in by this package, followed by the total code size, using two commands I absolutely didn’t just look up on StackOverflow.$ ls node_modules | wc -l 90$ du -sh node_modules 17M node_modulesA whopping 90 dependencies totaling 17 megabytes. Let that soak in.If the entire recorded history of humanity could fit in a single megabyte, then Babel alone would consist of 17 times the entire recorded history of humanity. Just so that we can avoid writing JavaScript.So I started wondering, what on earth is causing Babel’s code to be so large?One of the biggest offenders, a package called “babel-core” was suspiciously large, coming in at 13 megabytes on its own. I opened up babel-core in vim, then turned off my computer because Ctrl-C wasn’t exiting, then opened babel-core in Sublime Text 2.module.exports = require("./lib/api/node.js");About two hours later, I successfully found the referenced “/lib/api/node.js” and discovered the crux of the issue. A coding slip-up so unforgivable that I nearly threw out my MacBook and swore off web development forever.Screenshot by the writerIt’s true. Each installation of Babel includes a picture of Guy Fieri, and there is nothing you can do about it.I have no idea if this picture was supposed to be stripped out before pushing to npm, or how this mistake passed code review. Either way, it’s there, and it’s taking up precious space on millions and millions of 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro hard drives across the world.ConclusinoTo be clear, I don’t think that extra dependencies are a sign of the end of the world. I just think it’s important that we as a community start to value the work of maintaining and cleaning up code as much as we value cool features and great project logos.We can do better. Dead code takes up space, eats up bandwidth, and can even kill your startup.I encourage you to take a look inside your node_modules/ directory next time you have a couple of free hours and a computer with at least 16 gigabytes of RAM. The results may just surprise you. | 2024-11-08T07:42:22 | en | train |

Intel has spent much of the last year struggling, and one way to tell is all the reports that other major tech companies are seeking to potentially purchase the longtime chip maker. We've seen claims that tech giants like Apple have considered taking over Intel to Qualcomm mulling over an Intel purchase.Apparently, it's enough that the United States government has taken notice as claimed in a new report from Semafor.With Intel reporting over $16 billion in losses for this past quarter, Semafor reports that the US Commerce Department is looking at multiple avenues to bail the American company out. CHIPS Act ... with a catch One iteration would involve a law called the CHIPS Act funding to give Intel a cash injection, which may not actually right the ship. The CHIPS act is meant to help American tech companies that manufacture components compete with China via cash infusions. Currently, Intel is slated to receive over $20 billion in grants and low-interest loans via CHIPS.Reportedly, Intel hasn't received any of that money due to concerns from U.S. officials that the company needs to present a "viable" turnaround plan. Supposedly, policymakers do not have the stomach for a bailout a la 2008, where the government took a direct stake in ailing companies.Sources indicated to Semafor that initial talks among Congress people and Commerce department bureaucrats are because the government views Intel as a strategically important company that acts as a "counterweight to China" in the semiconductor space. Currently, most chips are manufactured in China. Unlike Nvidia and Qualcomm, both American companies, Intel actually produces its own chips, rather than outsourcing that work to "fabs" in places like Korea and Taiwan.An Intel spokesperson told Semafor, "Intel is the only American company that designs and manufactures leading-edge chips and is playing a critical role to enable a globally competitive semiconductor ecosystem in the US."Here at Tom’s Guide our expert editors are committed to bringing you the best news, reviews and guides to help you stay informed and ahead of the curve!Last week, Intel reported the huge net loss, which the company blamed on writedowns and "restructuring charges." Though the company did have a rosier outlook for Q4. What about AMD?One option that has been floated is a merger with AMD, who Intel just teamed up with on an x86 council to protect the architecture from a recent surge of ARM-based chips like Qualcomm's Snapdragon Elite. Marvell is another tech company that was named, which is based out of California. Surprisingly, Apple and Qualcomm were not mentioned despite both being American companies and increasingly looking to bring manufacturing in-house.The U.S. government, as far as we are aware, has never forced a merger between two companies. Though, it's not out of the realm of possibility as suggested by sources that the government would encourage a private sector-led merger between Intel and AMD or Marvell. As far as we are aware there isn't any indication from either company that they are interested in taking on Intel's portfolio and foundries.Despite the doom and gloom, Intel's future does appear to look a bit brighter in the short term. The company has a massive order from the U.S. Department of Defense and Amazon Web Services. Intel is also expecting the launch of the 18A chip, coming in 2025. “We have confidence in Intel’s overall vision for manufacturing chips in the United States,” a Commerce Department spokesperson told Semafor.More from Tom's GuideThe best Windows laptops: our top picksSony PS5 Pro specs leak reveals a surprising internal upgradeI did wall squats with arm raises every day for a week — here's how it helped boost my posture

] | null | null | no_error | Monorepo - Our experience | null | null | Nine months ago, we switched to a monorepo. Here I describe our experience with
the switch so far.This is not meant as a prescriptive recommendation, but is rather meant as an
anecdotal exposition, in the hope that it might helps other teams make informed
decisions.Unlike most forks in the road, we've travelled both ones. So first I will
describe the history that lead up to the change, outlining how we've already
experienced the alternative non-monorepo setup too in a similar context, and
thus are now well positioned to compare apples to apples.Platforms and monoreposEnte began its life half a decade ago. It was a meant as a end-to-end encrypted
platform for storing all of Vishnu's personal data, but two things happened:
Vishnu realized it was not just him that needed such a thing to exist, and he
realized it was going to be a lot of work to build his vision.So he became a we, and instead of tackling all personal data, the focus was
shifted to a singular aspect of it, Ente Photos, to get the spaceship off the
ground. To an external observer what looks like a photos app (and that indeed is
our concrete current goal) is driven by an underlying vision of the human right
to the privacy of all forms of personal data.Why do I describe all this? Because when viewed in light of this vision, Ente
isn't a single app, it is a platform, and storing its code as a monorepo is
the ideologically appropriate choice.This is similar to, say, the Linux kernel. Most people don't realize that the
biggest open source project in the world, by most metrics imaginable, the Linux
kernel itself, is a monorepo. Even though it is called a kernel, ideologically
it really is the full platform, device drivers and all, and the code
organization as a monorepo reflects that.Staying close to the vision of Ente as a platform is not only about the a
ideology, but it has practical offshoots too.For example, a few years ago, we realized that there was no good open source
end-to-end encrypted OTP app with cloud backups. So we built one, for our own
use, because it was rather easy to build it on top of the primitives we had
already created for the photos app.Today, this side project is the #1 OTP app in the world with the aforementioned
characteristics. This might seem like a happy accident, but it isn't, this was
always the plan: build a solid platform, then one by one tackle the various
bespoke apps we'll need to best handle different forms of data.MicroreposSo ideologically Ente is best kept as a monorepo. But it wasn't one to start
with, due to various historical factors in how the product evolved. What was a
hardware device transitioned into software. The server component was closed
source until we had the bandwidth to get it audited. Weekend projects like Auth
outgrew their reach. Etc.Let us rewind the tape back to, say, 2 years ago (just to pick a roughly
symmetrical split). While we have grown since then in all product aspects
including number of developers, we are extremely cautious in adding engineering
headcount, so the number of developers hasn't grown that much. Thus it is a
similar number of developers working on the same number of products (Ente
Photos, Ente Auth) multiplied by the same number of platforms (mobile, web,
desktop, server, CLI).2 years ago, these codebases were spread across a dozen or so repositories.In February we decided to take time out to finish the task for open sourcing the
server side. This was a natural point to also rein in the proliferation of
codebases, and we took this as a chance to move to a monorepo.So, as a similar sized team doing similar work, we've experienced an ~year with
a split microrepo setup, and an ~year with the alternative combined monorepo
setup.SummaryIf I had to summarize the difference: Moving to a monorepo didn't change much,
and what minor changes it made have been positive.This is not coming as a surprise to us. Most of us didn't care strongly about
our repository organization, and overall we weren't expecting much from changing
it either. The general vibe was a monorepo might be better, and so why not, and
since none of us opposed the choice, we went ahead, but we weren't trying to
"solve" anything by the change. We were already happy with our development
velocity.And indeed, overall it hasn't changed much. We're still happy with our
development velocity, so it did not get in our way. There have been many small
wins however, so for the rest of this post I'll delve deeper into them.Less grunt workThis is the biggest practical win. There is much less grunt work we have to do.As an example, take the following pull request. It changed the ML model that is
used for computing on-device face embeddings.
This change affected (1) the photos mobile app, (2) the photos desktop app, (3)
the photos web app, and (4) the ML scaffolding code itself.In the previous, separate repository world, this would've been four separate
pull requests in four separate repositories, and with comments linking them
together for posterity.Now, it is a single one. Easy to review, easy to merge, easy to revert.Less submodulesSubmodules are an irritating solution to a real problem. The problem is real, so
a solution is welcome, and submodules are indeed an apppropriate solution, but
they're irritating nonetheless.All this is to say, we appreciate the existence of git submodules as a way to
solve practical code organization problems, but we wish we didn't need to use
them.Monorepos reduce the number of places where a submodule would otherwise be
required, and is thus a win.As an example, previously the web and desktop codebases for the Ente Photos app
had a submodule relationship. This required a PR dance each time a release had
to be made or some other important change pushed to main. All that's gone now.
These two interdependent pieces of code now directly refer to each other, and
changes can be made to them atomically in the same commit.More starsThis is the biggest marketing win. Previously our stars were spread out across
the dozen or so repositories. If each had a thousand stars, we'd still have 12k
stars in total, but because of the way both human psychology and GitHub's
recommendation algorithms work, it'd come off as less impactful than a single
repository with 12k stars.EasyOne of the concerns we had going into this was that this might impact our
development velocity. We thought we'll have to invent various schemes and
conventions to avoid stepping on each other's toes.Those concerns turned out to be unfounded. We didn't invent anything, waiting to
see if the need arose, and it never did. So for an individual engineer in their
day to day work, the move has been easy since we didn't ask anyone in the team
to change their workflows in any way.There still are no "repository wide" guidelines, except two:There should not be any repository wide guidelinesDon't touch the root folderThat's it. Within each folder, or subteam of ourselves, we are otherwise free to
come up with whatever organization or coding conventions or what not.I do realize that maybe the ease for us was a function of both the relatively
small size of our team, and the amount of trust we have in each others'
competence, and both these factors might not be replicable in other teams.Long term refactoringRefactoring across repository boundaries requires much more activation energy as
compared to spotting and performing gradual refactorings across folder
boundaries. Technically it is the same, but the psychological barriers are
different.As an example, we've already merged together many of our disparate web apps into
a similar setup, without needing to make elaborate upfront plans. It happened
easily and naturally, since we could see all of them "next to each other" and
the opportunities for code reuse become obviously apparent.ConnectednessThis way of "working in a shared space without working in the same folder" has
lead to us feeling more connected to each other's work as compared to when,
individually or as subteams, we were all committing to separate repositories.Previously, it was easy to get lost in one's work (in a good way), but sometimes
it lead to the feeling of working on a small part without being able to see the
whole (in a not so good way).Now, one can still remain lost in one's own work in the universe of one's own
"folder", so that part of the goodness remains. But there are now also
additional subtle cues that let us see how what we are doing is part of a
interconnected whole. So it's a win win.What I described might be too abstract, so let me give an example. Everytime I
do a git pull, I get to see all the changes that my team mates have been
working on. The names of the recently changed files. The number of changes in
them. The names of the recent branches. The tags that were recently pushed. All
of these individually are very low bit, and imprecise, information vectors, and
I don't even consciously look at them.But what I've found over time that, subconsciously and automatically, these
"environmental cues" give me a great sense of "all that is happening around".
What features are being worked on, what stage of completion they are at, what
bugfixes were pushed, what releases were recently made.Similar serendipitious information exchange happens when I, say, open the pull
requests page and without even intending to, I glance at the stuff others are up
to.The best part is, all of this is subverbal and effortless. Everybody just does
their thing, and just by virtue of doing them all in the same shared digital
space, arises a sense of awareness and connectedness.Wrapping upThis is already too long, much longer than I intended to write, so let me stop
now.I could offer tips, but I don't think there is any secret technical sauce that
is needed. One thing that had bothered me before the move was how will we manage
our GitHub workflows, but that turned out to be trivial since we can scope
GitHub workflows to only run on changes to a specific folder.An engineering-mindset retrospective document would be incomplete without both a
Pros and Cons section, but we haven't really found any cons that have effected
us so far, so excuse that exclusion.On a personal level, what I've liked most about the move to our monorepo is the
feeling of being part of a juggernaut that is relentlessly rising towards
perfection, and has attained an unstoppable momentum. The code I'm writing is
not an isolated web component or a goroutine or a little documentation fix, it
is now part of this singular platform that will outlive me. | 2024-11-08T05:27:43 | en | train |

In this series of interviews, I’ve been sharing some war stories about my horrible career with Zack Proser: how I got into this business, how I made it my business, and also how I made my seven hundred worst mistakes, so that you won’t have to.
And so here we are at the end of my career. Not that it’s over, quite yet: it’s just where I want it to be. I’m running my own company that supports me and my family. No one can tell me what to do or when to do it. I have the freedom to work on, learn about, or write about whatever I want, providing I can occasionally turn that into money.
I no longer feel that life is passing me by, while I dance to somebody else’s tune. Instead, I’m living it on my own terms. So what does that look like? How do I pay the bills as an independent writer, teacher, and content creator?
Hey, I’m asking the questions here.
Sorry, Zack. I didn’t mean to put words into your mouth. What did you want to ask?
John, we’ve talked about how you became master of your domain, and some of the lessons you learned from being a consultant. How did you get from there to being a full-time writer / mentor?
Well, I enjoyed my ten-year spell of consulting very much. I mean, I’ve always liked telling people what to do, but up to that point I hadn’t really considered it as a career option.
And I wasn’t really a very good consultant in an economic sense, because instead of fixing peoples problems, I taught them to fix their own problems.
So they didn’t need to call you again after that?
Exactly. On the face of it, making yourself redundant seems like a poor business strategy. On the other hand, though, some of my clients seemed to value my work so much, they kept on creating new problems they needed my help to solve. Plus, they’d tell everyone they met what a terrific consultant I was. (I think that says less about me than it does about the previous consultants they’d dealt with, but never mind. I’ll take it.)
And I enjoy working with smart and capable people over a long period, passing on some of the technical tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years, and seeing them develop their own skills and experience. It’s really fun.
You’re starting to sound like some kind of… mentor.
I know, right? They say an expert is just someone who’s one page ahead of you in the manual, and that’s how it was. I’d learn enough to help the client fix their problem, and I’d show them everything I’d learned. Once they knew as much as I did, I could move on to the next person who needed my help.
Explaining complicated things simply is a skill, too.
That’s very true. Apparently I have it, to some degree. You never know what you’re good at, of course, until someone tells you that not everybody else can do that particular thing. Once you find that out, the idea occurs to you: maybe I could do this for a living!
And you’ve written a few books over the years in which you explained complicated things, starting with Puppet. When did you decide to write your first book?
It was the nice people at Packt Publishing who suggested that, and very flattered I was, too. I now realise they probably talked to a dozen or more people before me, but they were all too busy, or too rich, to take on the project. I wasn’t either of those things.
In fact, writing the book was a lot easier than I thought it would be, because I’d already had so much practice explaining this stuff as a consultant. After a bit of trial and error, you work out how to introduce the different topics, how to lead from one thing on to the next, and so on. All I had to do was explain the things that I wished I’d known when I first got started.
Often, getting an idea across to someone is a matter of finding just the right form of words that lights up the person’s brain. Again, you try different ways of putting something, and after a while if you’re lucky you’ll find one that seems to work with many different people.
All I did was take the best of the explanations that I’d gradually honed on the road, and stitch them together into a book, like a comedian putting together a tight five.
And you killed, John. You killed!
Well, I wouldn’t say that, but I’d be willing to at least listen politely while you said it.
At any rate, the first book was successful enough to lead on to other Puppet books, and teaming up with my friend Justin Domingus to write Cloud Native DevOps with Kubernetes for O’Reilly. Again, we just wrote the book that we wished we’d had, when we were wrestling with Kubernetes and drowning in documentation.
I really like that book. It’s so friendly and matter-of-fact. Technical books can be kind of stuffy sometimes.
Thanks, I appreciate that. The funny thing is that several people who know me said that when they were reading the book, they could hear the words in my voice!
And if they said your name three times, you’d appear in the mirror?
Only if they’re very unlucky. Anyway, I enjoyed the writing process a lot, and, if I’m honest, I liked seeing my name in print. I think everyone does. At that point, I had the book-writing bug, and since my main focus by this time was on Go, I decided I’d like to write about that.
What made you switch to self-publishing? Is that something you’d recommend for people interested in authoring books, or should they go the traditional publisher route?
Well, I did have some offers from various publishers inviting me to write Go books, but I turned those down, with some trepidation. It’s always tough saying no to money, but sometimes it’s the right thing to do, as we discussed last time.
It’s not that I hated working with publishers: it was a good experience overall, but what I always wanted was a bit more control. You know, the publisher basically decides the subject matter of the book, probably the title, certainly the length, and most likely the cover design. They also set the price.
Really, the writer is quite a small part of the whole production, in terms of creative control. You’re essentially a hired hand on someone else’s project, and there’s nothing wrong with that in itself. But to my mind, in that situation, it’s not your book. It’s theirs.
And you’ve mentioned once or twice how you chafe at being told what to do by someone else. A few of your annual reports said things like “Not a team player”.
I admit it freely. It’s not that I always think I know best: that would just be narcissistic personality disorder. It’s more that I like to stand or fall by my own efforts. If I do good work, great; if it’s not so good, I’ll take that on the chin and figure out how to make it better. The responsibility is mine, for better or for worse.
I can relate to that. If you’re going to become a master of some craft, whether it’s writing or coding, I think at some point you’ve got to strike out on your own and practice it. You need to have skin in the game.
Very true. But not straight away! I mean, I did my apprenticeship, in a sense: I worked for other people for about fifteen years before I felt confident enough to go it alone. Even then, I was a bit doubtful, but you just can’t wait until you feel that you’ve mastered the craft before you get started—you’ll never feel like that!
There’s always more to learn, but that doesn’t mean what you’ve already learned isn’t valuable: it all is.
At some point, as you say, you’ve just got to plunge in and struggle like hell until you make it. But you will make it.
That’s reassuring. I mean, I still feel like I don’t know enough, technically speaking. Why should anyone pay to hear what I have to say?
Yes, we all feel that way, I’m sure. Again, though, you never really appreciate the value of the knowledge and skills you have until you come to pass them on to someone else. And you catch yourself thinking, “Doesn’t everybody know this stuff?”
No, they don’t. No one’s born knowing anything, and learning is hard. Getting some help and guidance from someone who’s a little way ahead in the manual is really valuable.
And that’s a career, right there, if you want it.
It’s certainly worked for you. So what does the technical side of your book and course creation look like? I know the words flutter down to you like snowflakes from heaven, but how do you actually turn them into a saleable product, and sell it?
Well, if you’re okay with just digital content, that’s fairly easy: we all have the tools on our desktops to produce nice-looking PDFs and videos, and so on. I use Pandoc, which is an absolutely incredible piece of software for converting text between a zillion different formats.
In my case, I write Markdown (in VS Code, another of my favourite tools), plus a little embedded LaTeX for equations, precise layout, and so on. Pixelmator takes care of my rudimentary graphics, cartoons, and cover designs. Then I use Pandoc to produce a PDF and upload it to the Squarespace store.
One of the many nice things about being in control of the whole process is that I can update the books as often I want. Any time I find a typo or a mistake, I can fix it. Any time I have a better idea about how to say something, I can tweak the book and have the updated version on sale in minutes.
And, of course, Go is being updated all the time, too. So I’m constantly revising the code examples and the text of the books, to track those changes. As soon as a new Go version is released, I go through all the books checking what needs to be updated or added, and I aim to upload the new editions within a few days.
What about people who’ve already bought previous versions, though? Are they just out of luck?
Not at all (I’m glad you asked that, Zack). All my books come with free updates for life, which no one can quite believe when they first hear it, but it’s true.
We’ve all had the frustrating experience of buying some expensive tech book and finding that it’s out of date within a few months. Well, I hate that too, which is why you’ll never have to pay again for one of mine. Any time you like, you can just re-download the book from my store, and you’ll always get the very latest version, at no extra charge.
It’s something that most publishers don’t offer, for obvious reasons: they want you to keep buying the book every year! Maybe I lose out on a little revenue this way, but I hope that the increase in reader satisfaction makes up for it.
Because all you need to make a living is 1,000 true fans.
That’s right. And you’ll only get those true fans if you deserve them: if you put absolutely everything you have into making the product the best it can possibly be. And as you get better at what you do, that should feed back into improving the products you already made.
There are basically two ways to make money from selling products. One is the volume strategy: the product doesn’t have to be that good, and your profit margins can be small, so you can sell it cheap. But you have to sell it in vast numbers for this to work.
I don’t have the kind of resources you need to succeed in a volume sales business, and neither do you, or anyone else in our position. That’s why I use the premium strategy instead.
If you don’t sell many units, then you need to make a lot of profit on each of them. That means the price must be high, so if you’re to succeed the product must be really top quality. Essentially all independent content creators are in the premium product business, whether they realise it or not.
Like all craftspeople, I suppose.
That’s true. I don’t think any of us could knowingly do bad work. Otherwise, how would we sleep at night? We do what we do because we want to do it the best way we can. Even if I thought I could make more money knocking out cheap crap, I wouldn’t want to.
As we discussed in our chat about consulting, repeat business is cheaper than getting new customers, so quality is the best business plan. And when you’re just one person, you’re very dependent on your customers to spread the word for you.
You know, if people really like a book, they’ll recommend it to all their friends. And when you’re an independent author, that word of mouth is all you have. When your stuff isn’t on Amazon and you don’t have a big company backing you, you can’t afford expensive marketing and advertising.
Your marketing team, in effect, is your customers. So you better make them happy!
I see what you mean. So, ebooks are great and all, but what about printed books? They just seem more real, somehow.
I agree. Getting stuff into hard copy is more difficult, though, because it turns out short-run book printing is really expensive. Like twenty or thirty bucks a unit, or more, if you want colour and high-quality paper (and you do).
I did try this for a while, and since there’s only so much I can reasonably charge for a book, the printing costs cut my margin to basically zero, or a little less. In fact, I did make a small loss on every physical book I sold, what with fulfilment and so forth, so it wasn’t really a viable long-term strategy. And, of course, I wouldn’t be able to offer free updates, as I do with the digital books.
How do publishers do it, then?
Well, I suspect one definition of “publisher” is “someone who has a very favourable deal on printing”. You know, O’Reilly or someone like that shifts a lot of books, and they can get volume pricing from a printer, or just buy the printing firm themselves. A print-on-demand machine is expensive, but once you’ve bought it, you can print as much as you want, and you only pay for paper and ink.
As much as I love physical books myself, and I have a cottage full of them, I can’t actually make a living printing and selling them. I can do that with digital books, because the overheads are so much smaller.
Such as? Can you share some figures?
Well, it costs about $20 a month to run my Squarespace website, which includes the e-commerce store, and another $25 for my EmailOctopus mailing list. For each book or course that I sell, Squarespace takes a 3% cut, and the PayPal or Stripe fee for the payment is about 5%.
If you figure that the website and mailing list and other business expenses account for about another 2% of the cover price, then that’s a net profit to me of 90%. Compare that with the revenue split you’d get from a traditional publisher, which is probably more like 10%.
But maybe 10% of a bigger number.
Maybe. If the publisher decides to put any effort into marketing your book, which they might not. And if it doesn’t do well in the first quarter or so, they might lose interest and withdraw it from the market. Either way, like everything else, it’s out of your control.
I’m not denying that it’s nice to get little dribs and drabs of publisher’s royalties from time to time, and even though it’s not much, it’s basically free money (unless you count the hundreds or thousands of hours of unpaid labour you put in to writing the book). But you can’t live on it.
If you want to actually make a living from creating content, you need to own it. Once you sell or license it to someone else, you’re back to just being a hired hand, working to boost someone else’s profits, and that’s not for me.
And do you make a good living? Or are you just getting by?
It varies. Sometimes, for no particular reason that I can work out, I have a good sales month, and a decent bit of money comes in. Other times, again mysteriously, days will go by without me making a sale. You can’t look at the analytics too much, or you’d go crazy.
Ultimately, you just have to ask yourself whether you’re doing good work. If so, keep on doing it, whatever the analytics say. If not, do better. You’re the only one who can judge the quality of what you’re doing: that’s what it means to pursue a craft.
On average, though, I do all right. I can pay the bills, and there’s an awful lot of people who aren’t so lucky. I have my freedom, and that counts for a lot. I also have pretty low overheads. They say the secret of being happy ever after is not to be after too much.
Basically, running an independent business is never going to make anyone a ton of money. That’s not what it’s about. If that’s what you want, you should go and get a job.
Just be aware that what you’re selling for that fat salary is, essentially, your life. And, sooner or later, you’ll realise that you can’t buy it back.
Stirring words, my friend. But you’re right. What good is money if you haven’t got the time to spend it?
Exactly. I have an incredible lifestyle, one that would be the envy of every wage slave if they knew about it. I work when I want, on what I want, and I’m not wasting a single one of my precious days on stuff that doesn’t matter.
And, if you enjoy what you’re doing, is it really “work”? I’m learning new stuff myself and writing software, which is the most fun in the world. I’m writing, which I’ve always really enjoyed, and I think I’m getting better at it, slowly. And a big chunk of my time is taken up with mentoring, working directly with students, teaching Go and Rust, and that’s probably the most rewarding activity of all.
How much time would you say you put in? Do you work longer or shorter hours now that you’re doing it for yourself?
Well, Rich Hickey says that programming is not about typing, it’s about thinking. The same applies to writing. You know, if I stand there and rattle at the keyboard, it looks like I’m doing something, but that’s really only the final stage of the process.
As the avid fans of your blog and online courses will surely agree, you’re a pretty talented writer yourself, so you’ll know that it’s not really nine-to-five work. Sometimes you don’t get any ideas, and you just stare glumly at a blank editor window, wondering how soon your health insurance is going to expire. Days can go by and you don’t get anything written at all.
Other times you find yourself in the zone, and the stuff just flows. Either way, I think you have to accept what comes. With any kind of creative work, you don’t really know how you do it. It just does itself… or doesn’t.
You can’t just press a button that says “Make writing happen now!”
That’s right. It’s more like surfing, which is what I usually do on the days when writing doesn’t decide to happen. You don’t always get waves: all you can do is be in the right place when they do come. Even then, you have to be able to catch them. A lot of the time you won’t, and that’s okay.
As a content creator, your prime and only asset is your brain. You have to look after it, and get to know its little foibles. Like an old Land Rover, you have to know when to run it and when to rest it. Sometimes it’s reluctant to start, especially on cold mornings, and it needs a little coaxing.
I get my best ideas when I’m nowhere near the keyboard, actually. Instead, I’ll be lounging in the garden, watching the birds, or just enjoying the clouds scudding across the sky, and something will pop into my head. All of a sudden, that problem I’ve been worrying away at has just solved itself. Or I’ve had an inspiration for my next book.
So if you’re trying to write a book, or even a blog post, and you’re finding it hard going, take a break. Don’t grind yourself into misery and feel like a failure. Instead, do something else, to give yourself the time and space to think.
If you don’t open your mind once in a while, after all, how can you expect ideas to get in?
The space between the notes is where the music happens.
Very true. In a salaried job, it’s all about looking busy. Your boss will never tell you something like, “Don’t just do something, sit there!” But you can’t just keep extracting stuff from your brain until it crumbles like a dry husk. You have to put nutrients back into it from time to time, you have to regularly rotate your crops, and you have to occasionally leave it fallow so that the soil can regenerate.
The three things I do, learning, writing, and teaching, are all interdependent. I learn something, and figure it out. I teach it, and by teaching, I learn it at a deeper level, and by trial and error I work out how to explain it to someone else.
Finally, I write about it, and that opens up a whole new set of questions, and so the cycle goes round again. But at every stage, I need to give things time to percolate, and that means giving myself the time, space, and silence to think, or to do other things.
Often, the most important thing I can be doing is nothing at all. I’ve written a book about that too.
What with the writing, the surfing, the bird watching, and the cottage full of books, I have to admit it does sound like a pretty good lifestyle.
The pay may be modest, but the hours are great. Speaking of which, we should get back to our respective business empires, shouldn’t we?
I’ve enjoyed our chat a lot, Zack. Thanks for taking the time to interview me, and for being such a good listener.
It was my pleasure! And thank you for being so honest, about your screw-ups as well as your successes. I’ve found it very encouraging.
I’m very glad to hear that, and for anyone who’s read this far, I hope it’s been helpful. I wish you the best on your own journey to independence, if that’s where you want to go. Even if there are a few bumps in the road, you’ll make it. Just don’t give up.
Well, it’s time I was off to the beach. Want to come with?
Count me in, man. Count me in.

cd salad_storybook
mix phx.server
Unit Testing
In your project folder make sure the dependencies are installed by running mix deps.get, then once completed you can run:
mix test to run tests once or,
mix test.watch to watch file and run tests on file changes.
To run the failing tests only, just run mix test.watch --stale.
It's also important to note that you must format your code with mix format before sending a pull request, otherwise the build in github will fail.

But Freeman ruled that "May suffered economic harm because of third-party scammers’ fraudulent inducement, not Google’s omission or misrepresentation."
Additionally, May failed to show that Google had any duty to refund customers after Google cited Target and Walmart policies to show that it's common to refuse refunds.
Scam victims did not use gift card “as designed”
Freeman mostly sided with Google, deciding that the company engaged in no unfair practices, while noting that May had not used the gift cards "in their designed way." The judge also agreed with Google that May's funds were not considered stolen at the time she purchased the gift cards, because May still controlled the funds at that point in time.
Additionally, May's attempt to argue that Google has the technology to detect scams failed, Freeman wrote, because May couldn't prove that Google deployed that technology when her particular scam purchases were made. Even after May argued that she reported the theft to Google, Freeman wrote, May's complaint failed because "there is no allegation that Google had a duty to investigate her report."
Ultimately, May's complaint "identifies no public policy suggesting Google has a duty to refund the scammed victims or that the harm of Google’s conduct outweighs any benefits," Freeman concluded.
In her order, Freeman provided leave to amend some claims in the next 45 days, but Ars could not immediately reach May's lawyer to confirm if the complaint would likely be amended. However, the judge notably dismissed a claim seeking triple damages because May's complaint "failed to show a likelihood that May will be a victim of gift card scams again given her awareness of such scams," which may deflate May's interests to amend.
That particular part of the ruling may be especially frustrating for May, whose complaint was sparked by a claim that she never would have been victimized if Google had provided adequate warnings of scams.
Google did not immediately respond to Ars' request to comment.

42,062,824 | lispy4 | 2024-11-06T14:31:16 | The Eclipse of Albums | null | https://stutz.substack.com/p/the-eclipse-of-albums | 3 | 0 | null | null | null | no_error | The Eclipse of Albums | 2024-10-25T02:21:55+00:00 | Michael Stutz | There used to be albums. This lasted for a while. They were a set of about ten or twelve songs, give or take, put together in a certain order. They came out at once, after all the preparations were done, in a physical thing you could hold, with a title and a canvas on the cover that you would associate with the collected sounds. It was all wrapped up in a bundle. You bought the thing and you owned it and it took a little while to digest and it was fun.That was back in the 1900s. Back then, albums measured time—you could pin an age or an era on when a certain album arrived, or when it nudged its way into your life. They still come out, new ones, and we’re still informed by them and love them, but it doesn’t happen in quite the same way as before. They no longer announce or measure consensual generational seasons, and they certainly don’t enjoy the same unanimous exposure and impact as before. There’s more than ever, but sometimes it even feels like nobody’s really making them at all, because none of them turn the culture in the way the old ones did. They can’t. Those legacy 1900s artists, they’re still re-releasing everything—best-of compilations, “lost” tracks, remasters, retakes, retrospectives, deluxe editions, and tributes. All of that’s a big game and there’s plenty of legacy albums being re-released in various configurations and ways. But that’s all memory-lane, and quickly running its course. It’s the form itself that’s in question.A new album as vital as the old ones that shape our landscape, but something of the moment now? It’s not happening and it won’t happen. It won’t be an album that does the shaping. Everybody trying to move the culture knows that today, you can’t move the culture—or even pretend to budge it—with the old machinery. It’s like trying to use a horse and buggy to rocket into space.There was a time when music was separate from the recording—it was the symbol, the notation, sheet music, that was the published aspect of the artist’s musical creation. I can’t tell you how many people making music today can’t even read that anymore, and look at it as alien and irrelevant, like cursive handwriting. The same reaction will also eventually come for albums.It’s sort of like books, which for a long stretch of time was what literary work was contained in. But even if words still have their power, what impact at all does a new “book” have anymore, be it a novel, a collection of poetry, anything in bound and printed form? They’re still treasures, but like albums, they exist now as collectibles—antiques, really—or as objects for the diehard fans, but not as the primary means of explosive mind-to-mind transmission of singular ideas. It’s not the material object anymore that makes the hit or is where it’s at, but it’s the stream and flow of electric current, the constant mix and situation that’s electronic and uniquely online.Online—that’s the whole key. You have to go where the audience is. Artists ask me all the time to sell their albums in my record store. And I do, but if they ask me if their record or tape or CD might ever be as big as one they name from an old legacy artist, I tell them no, because such a thing’s impossible. It has nothing to do with merit. It’s like publishing a set of sheet music in 1968 and hoping it will have the same impact as Rubber Soul.Albums were containers for songs, a way to package them out. But the net has come along and packaged all the albums. We have them all, from all styles and periods and places and times, and it’s changed the mode and meaning of the lot of them together. Some time, probably quite soon, there will be a thing that will enclose and package that. This is how technology rolls.Meanwhile the need for albums, as a final distribution method and everything else it once was—a container for songs, a heralding of a moment when things have shifted—is eclipsed by other things. In that sense, an album is almost an irritation, an inconvenience. (The same can be said for brand-new books.) There are distractions now that pull away from that. This is a different environment, and it only makes sense for artists to experiment with the method, type, length, placement, and frequency of their work now, since we can. Actually, we have to. And real artists are. Albums are not the primary means of recorded music distribution and playback and they’re not the primary means of artistic expression anymore, so the structure of music doesn’t have to fit inside one now. They’ve become a specialized, collectible product for fans, and also a way to curate and stylize an experience.This is so much like what Kevin Shields had said in some interview a while back, a point that stuck with me ever since—he’d admitted that he didn’t think in terms of songs anymore, but in what he called “tunes.” These “tunes,” or “tunage,” are sessions of spontaneous and transitory music-making, sound-sculpting, improvisatory playing in the center of the moment, what Eddie Van Halen used to call “noodling,” making up the music as you go, thinking of the journey or the stream as your canonical work, as opposed to referring back to one particular recording—and every seated session, every time you talk through your instrument to say what you say, you’re speaking out a story that’s grounded in that particular instant and situational awareness. It’s a tap, an infinite pulsation drawn out from the well. Shields had said that if he had his way, that’s all he would do. “Tunes.” Every day, always morphing, expanding outward in a thousand ways. And honestly, I wish he would—what better and more awesome followup to Loveless could there ever be than a life of steady well-recorded “tunage” from that guy?Charles Berthoud, a virtuoso bassist, recently admitted to Rick Beato that when he creates songs for his YouTube and he works on it and then puts it out on video, it’s a composition that’s made for the immediate moment, he performs it—and then it’s basically forgotten. If he ever needs to play it again, he has to go back to his videos and relisten and slow it down again and again and relearn what he’d already done. This is really the current way for a lot of relevant music and musicians. Even more than virtuosity and technique, the habit of assembling and streaming and sharing with constancy is what makes effect and relevance in the present moment. It’s also a relief to hear Berthoud admit this, because it’s a pain I’ve felt forever: I notate what I can but old recordings are often a terrible struggle to relearn, and sometimes when I hear them I wonder how I even did it.One of the unrealized, latent art forms of the Internet age are webcams. As they populate the landscape they show us what we’re looking at, the places that we want to see and where we want to go. And you can’t hold all the contents of their captured moments in a two hour or even hundred hour “film,” nor could you in a book—or encyclopedia—of still photos. It’s a new kind of container. Good music, rich and colorful and textured, is suddenly re-containered like that too, or like paint on an enormous, multileveled canvas—one that’s bigger that can fit in any gallery anywhere. There’s just more going on, and that’s a universal dynamic of technology and art. Songs and riffs and words and stories are all still here, but the tapestries are bigger, they’re huge and incompatible—and the galleries are empty, anyway; everybody’s looking at their phones. | 2024-11-08T15:51:38 | en | train |
