Mostly about Go and OS stuff but haven't updated in a while. http://andrestc.com
The technical bar for EMs at Meta is quite high.
Netflix is in the list.
"The policy document attained by TechCrunch shows Facebook plans to take up to a 30 percent cut of subscription revenue minus fees, compared to 5 percent by Patreon, 30 percent by YouTube, which covers fees and 50 percent by Twitch."

Looks on par with other providers.

How hard would it be to set up a backend payment service to receive $$ for gifts?

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing
It's not as strong as the kernel. Go does not break APIs but may break undocumented behavior.
Re:Using cgroups to limit I/O on Thursday October 19, 2017 @09:00AM (#15507463)
Author here.

>Also, while this article is quite rosy-eyed about cgroupv2, there are many many issues that mean that cgroupv2 is not really usable by container runtimes today -- despite what systemd might be trying to do with their "hybrid mode". A friend of mine from the LXC community gave a talk about the wide variety of issues that occur due to cgroupv2's weirdly restrictive API[3]. The blkio writeback cache limits are very useful, but they're really not worth the pain of breaking how container runtimes have to work.

I knew there are some problems with cgroup v2 but haven't quite looked into it. I'm going to watch the talk and probably add a note about that. Thanks!

>You can mount a single cgroupv1 hierarchy with multiple controllers attached to it (that's what 'cpu,cpuset' are), which then could (in principle) know about it each other. But they don't, since a lot of the cgroupv2 code is locked behind cgroup_on_dfl(...) checks. That's interesting, I didn't know about that! I'll add a note to the post.

Nice writeup. Interesting enough, SIGKILL does not work from inside the container: https://andrestc.com/post/killing-container-inside/.

Thats the precise reason that I've started my blog, https://andrestc.com. I'm writing about things I'm learning while studying several topics.

May i suggest maintaining a repo on github with such material? Would be easier to keep up and might bring in some contributions

would be interesting to get that integrated with Prometheus remote storage.

Take a look at tsuru.io.
Tsuru.io is an open source PaaS that provides heroku like deployments and other features!

> I use split testing for some things but it feels wrong to do this for price

You can do the A/B testing only on the pricing page. For ex, A would display $5 and B would display $10. When the user get to the checkout display always the lower price and tell the user he got a discount. You can measure the % that get to the checkout and the bounce rate at the checkout.
