Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited. The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the, universally reviled, unemployed and a larger stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc.)—and particularly its financial avatars—but, at the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value.

Meaningful problems are the most valuable human motivators. Made-up problems are a blight. Ensure you have not quite enough time and people available to tackle the former lest you start inventing the latter.

One way forward: finding a path to what comes after Unix

Plan 9 was intended to be Unix, done better. It preemptively replaced a lot of what we now bodge together with virtual machines, containers, and even microkernels, and it did it more simply and cleanly. But it wasn’t compatible enough to replace its ancestor. With off-the-shelf existing 21st century tech, we can fix that.

It’s hard to believe, looking at the modern computing world, but there is still more to life than Windows or Unix… and today, most of the alternatives run on vanilla x86 hardware and are free.

Make something. Participate in something. Engage with someone. All of it might feel as unnatural as strapping on those running shoes after too long of a break, but once you’re back to creating, the energy comes by itself.

There is something special in simple code. Here I’m not referring to simplicity to fight complexity or over engineering, but to simplicity per se, auto referential, without goals if not beauty, understandability and elegance.

You Want Modules, Not Microservices

Architecture is hard sometimes--people keep offering up some new idea that quickly becomes the mainstream “way to do it” without any context or nuance, and the industry, desperate to find ways to improve their architecture, snaps it up without hesitation. Microservices was the latest in the trend, and it’s time we dissected the idea and got to the real root of what’s going on.

The extensible scheduler class
https://lwn.net/Articles/922405/ [lwn.net]
2023-02-16 08:40
In short, the argument goes, the ability to write scheduling policies in BPF greatly lowers the difficulty of experimenting with new approaches to scheduling. Both our workloads and the systems they run on have become much more complex since the completely fair scheduler was introduced; experimentation is needed to develop scheduling algorithms that are suited to current systems. The BPF scheduling class allows that experimentation in a safe manner without even needing to reboot the test machine. BPF-written schedulers can also improve performance for niche workloads that may not be worth supporting in the mainline kernel and are much easier to deploy to a large fleet of systems.
