We use those APIs internally to implement Sharp Cells. You can certainly build your own integration however the XLL API in particular was poorly documented and very difficult to implement correctly.

Sharp Cells' aim is to make it easy to use these APIs from F# so you don't have to worry about P/Invoke, manual memory management, dynamic .NET assembly loading, etc. to just write custom functions.
Was thinking about this tonight. My biggest regret is doing an EE degree and becoming an engineer.

I coulda been a contender.

I coulda been somebody....
An even quicker way to clean up SSH logs is to listen on a non standard port.
So in a sense llms can democratize the technique Wolfram has been deploying with human labor for years...
While Linode is very well known amongst a set of developers the cross-section of customers that overlap between Linode and Akamai is very tiny.

This acquisition was about selling a product to existing Akamai customers so branding it as an Akamai offering allows them to present this as an enterprise ready solution that their customers can trust immediately.

Akamai did $3.6B in trailing twelve month revenue, and even backing out $200MM (being generous here for Linode) that is $3.4B of revenue.

The bigger play for them is to mark up this as a high gross margin offering to their existing CDN customers where they need a bit of compute power to pair with their CDN offering.

Limelight Networks (throw back alert) was doing the same thing back in the day and they approached us (DigitalOcean) in 2012 looking to potentially partner with us so that we can use our software to build an internal white labelled cloud for them that they could resell to their customers.

This is seen as more of a brand extension through product acquisition under the Akamai umbrella rather than something like Microsoft buying Github where that is a service that is known globally by pretty much every developer and what they wanted was the brand and developer clout.

Here there was no real interest from Akamai in the brand, but simply in a robust enough product that they could resell into their existing customer base.
Are you my colleague? I don't understand why part of our teams chose Akamai. The other ones who use Cloudflare just do API calls when they deploy.

The Akamai team needs to send an email, then 2 meetings going back and forth, staging, approval, and then go-live.
Thank you for making this!!!

Drummer here. Well someone who plays drums, but doesn't play too much these days. This is wonderful and very fun. I now shared this with everyone I know who has children.

Here is my composition.

I have a vHost which is sitting on a public IP in another country, while the rest of vSphere is here in RFC1918.

vMotion, Provisioning and backups work just fine.
Linode is better comparable to Vultr, UpCloud and DO, rather than the serverless stuff at Netlify and Vercel. :)
Had being the key word here. Linode is old history these days.

Sortition is one of those idea that when I was a young man I thought was dumb, but the older I get the more I realize elections end up with someone stupid or corrupt anyway so we me as well get a random sample of the populace to round things out.

Sadly the two party elected system is probably one of those things that is difficult to impossible to break out of, as the parties will never vote to suicide themselves.

Akamai still has an Oracle/IBM-like reputation. One of the companies that for many years didn't have a sign up page. Instead they wanted anyone who is interested to call their sales people.
Would you, by the same logic, suggest that we filter drinking water less?
I haven't used GPT-3 to generate code for me but I use Copilot all the time. Sometimes it freaks me out with its precience, but most of the time it is generating either nice one-liners or a lot of plausible-sound rubbish that would never build, much less run on its own. It creates a plausible API that is similar to the one in my app, but not the same; it doesn't integrate any actual structural knowledge of the code-base, its just bullshitting.
Except the paper in the OPs comment literally talks about how these LLM's are building actual models of the real world.

No need to be worried about knocking chatGPT. I have no pride invested in the thing. But I do think that people who view it solely as statistical word generators are biased.
I dunno, it would kinda depend. If you depended on the job, sure, it could be infuriating.

But if you were set, in terms of stock or savings or general wealth accrued after having a principal position for a while? Then it might be easier to take joy in responding to a narcissistic boss' question with the faux-polite version of "maybe you just suck".
Linode has been around forever and were once one of the few games in town. They were into cloud computing years even AWS was. A lot of, er, elder statesman developers remember them from way back then. So if you’ve gotten into the game less than 15 years ago, it makes sense that you may not have heard of them.
It's strange how the brand means so much. They've made it obvious to me that I (small time solo developer but long time Linode customer) am not their target market now.

I was uncertain I would keep using them after the acquisition, but oddly (and despite no technical changes) this has convinced me I need to leave. The only associations I have with the Akamai brand are "enterprise" and "overpriced."
