Today you have to be a PhD to push forward the boundaries of human knowledge, and only in a very narrow field. This is the amount we add back to culture - if you got one good original idea in your hole life you consider yourself lucky.

And in big corporations it isn't very different. There used to be theory of management and of organisation, that somehow got lost along the way, with only vestiges popping up here and there in stuff like the Toyota model, the original ideas behind agile and stuff like team topologies...but almost everything is these ... cargo cult organisations, that just blindly implement whatever rituals this or that business consultant recommends and hope for the best ...

Gauge is basically irrelevant, as the signalling is entirely different between mainline and urban (ASFA/ETCS vs TrainGuard MT in the case you're mentioning, and I have no idea what the FGC uses). Also, urban is typically closed network where the infra and rolling stock are all under the control of the same entity, whereas in mainline that is generally not the case.

> iPhones are truly works of art and should be enjoyed without cheap plastic cases. Just make sure you have AppleCare Plus.

I agree they are beautiful to behold. Nevertheless, if I want art, I'll go and buy actual art. My iphone is, foremost, a tool. If I have to wait an hour for it to be fixed, it's failed its purpose.

> Apple stores will do it in minutes within the space of a single service appointment.

I don't know how it is where you live, but I had to wait the next day for an appointment, and they held onto the phone for something like four hours. They also didn't honor the appointment hour, so I had to wait in line for 30 minutes.

I love my iphone otherwise, but this was just horrendous. I've lost half a day waiting around to fix the phone. This was for a battery replacement, not a broken screen, but the process is likely similar.
The name change indicates Akamai’s intentions for the Linode platform. Linode is a well-established brand with developers, smaller agencies, small businesses, hobbyists,and so on. Akamai is an enterprise brand that serves large businesses. They have never had an interest in serving the sort of people who know about and like Linode. Dropping the Linode brand is evidence they continue to have no interest in that market segment. It now seems more likely that Akamai wanted a ready-made cloud platform to sell to their enterprise customers. That’s why Linode users are worried about the name change; it indicates they are no longer the market their preferred platform cares about.
No, chatgpt is already trained once it’s ready for prompts.
Deterministic for sure, that's why he always specifies hot. Though ChatGPT would infer it's hot due to the strong statistical correlation and proximity in it's linguistic training data (at least most of the time... probably, depending on the weather)... but in the future people have learned that it's a bad idea to trust language models alone, and although the singularity has occurred (Data), he'd rather not spend his time processing Picard's drink orders.
It sounds like they have invested heavily into ads to make the Linode brand well known, and as a result, you know about it.
It's less about brand awareness and more about telling customers upfront what it does. If I'm an Akamai customer that's never heard of Linode, maybe I ignore "Akamai Linode" because I've no clue what it does. If I hear "Cloud Computing Services", I know exactly what that offering is likely to entail from the name alone - Compute as a service.

The downside with this approach is that you lose any brand awareness of Linode. Perhaps that's not a terrible thing if their market share was minimal. You could have gone with "Akamai Linode Cloud Computing Services" or "Linode Cloud Computing Services by Akamai". But Linode seems a bit redundant in that name to my eyes.

They will flock away as soon as something else newer appears.

OTOH I've been part of the Elixir community since the beginning and I spoke personally with the creator Jose Valim and Erlang creator Joe Armstrong and they turned out to be the most welcoming humble uncredited geniuses among programming language creators who also build two of the best curated and functioning communities there are. No bullshit, high quality software, organic growth, tooling etc Rust in comparison is just a C++ community with younger and somewhat ageist/elitist members, with diminishing results over time (yes, they are rewriting stuff that already works, WOW!)

how about improve the tooling?

In Croatia I had travarica which is apparently a type of rakija with savory herbs like rosemary or lavender (it seems the mix differs across different producers).

> for the benefit of the device, not for your own benefit.

I'm sure someone else has already brought this up, but I feel remit to point out that the benefit to not damaging very expensive items is that the items were not expensive to themselves, but to the owner. There is a risk and cost analysis, in which adding a case is almost always worth it unless you are an edge case user like yourself.

What benefits the device benefits the owner, with 1:1 parity in the metric.

> The power saving is not because of Android it is because of the ARM arch being used under the hood.

[citation needed]

Based on my understanding, the underlying OS has way more to do with power usage than the instruction set, and AFAIK Android has tons of optimizations specifically geared towards reducing battery consumption (and therefore power usage) on mobile devices.

With that said, it's true that, in practice, the power floor seems to be lower for ARM devices than, say, x86, but I'd wager that this has far more to do with target market than with ARM's instruction set. Low power x86 boards do (did?) exist.

For a prefilter I sometimes wedge in a fiberglass "stick filter" to catch larger dust and pet hair. At service time I vacuum it off (or just bang it off in the trash) and reuse.

I wouldn't use a prefilter with any real pressure drop thought. Why not? Well...

In theory a two-stage filter is ideal, because you can cycle the filters through: swap the (mostly clean) post-filter over to the pre-filter during filter changes, optimizing both filtration level and using the full capacity of each consumable filter element. This is the procedure when changing the ISS water filters, incidentally.

There's a downside, of course...

Essentially it's the same as series and parallel resistors, so for two filter stages in series (to achieve the same rated pressure drop) you need double the rated size for each of the stages, therefore 4x the total filter area and size. In practice, nobody really wants to install that in their basement.

Some of the Chinese positive pressure systems have seemingly the ultimate low-consumables design: a washable stainless prefilter, washable electrostatic filter, two stages (supports cycling) of HEPA filter, and last a refillable granular activated carbon stage. Spent activated carbon could be used as a soil amendment, or returned to a local facility for regeneration into new activated carbon.

Very low consumables, but very costly up-front.

I'd argue that the reason you're probably impressed with this is because it's outside your domain. You are probably less than impressed that it can generate entire code segments, or fluently answers arbitrary questions because it's easy to see how a training on Stack Exchange and other such sources can easily generate such output. By contrast somebody into rap, but with little knowledge of programming, would probably be floored at the LLM 'being a programmer.'

Now go search for 'rap battle example' or other such searches and find the web has even more such content, but you've probably never once in your life seen even a single example of it. And in fact it's also likely been trained on the entire history of every single song, rap, poem, etc. So it's just doing the same thing, but in a field outside your knowledge.

Dark enough to be a Black Mirror episode.
I guess we have very different use cases. The most I’ll pay for an iPhone is about 50$/year so I buy a couple year old used iPhone in near new condition for about 200$ tops. AppleCare itself isn’t free, it certainly costs more than a 10$ case and a 3$ screen protector. Plus you can’t get it for used devices.

Same as sibling for me, there are no Apple stores near where I live, I have to send it to a service provider who will send it to their service center and back to me, turnaround is easily a week.

I also find iPhones very slippery and super easy to drop. I don’t think it’s on purpose but I also don’t think it’s not not on purpose. I’d rather have my iPhone be a few mm thicker if it meant it’s not as fragile, I don’t care for a glass back that will break and is very hard to replace without paying hundreds, etc. I’d buy a fairly priced utilitarian iPhone that lets me do phone things (calls texts emails browsing) if they made one.

I guess I’m on the opposite side of your argument. I see it as “if I can keep something fully functional, in excellent condition, and without having to pay for repairs or buy extra parts for the cost of maintenance/protective equipment that costs a tenth of the device it protects, it’s a no brainer to spend that tenth and save my money + time in the long run (and reduce waste)”

> The direction that rails goes in is the direction that Basecamp wants it to go in. Basecamp is a privately owned company. Who do you think owns the IP?

it’s demonstrably false. both github and shopify have made significant contributions to the direction of rails. also individuals who were eventually hired by big rails/ruby users. i think such was the case for tenderlove and schneems for example. according to the rails license[0], dhh owns the ip.

you could shift your perspective to see if this makes sense. companies heavily invested in certain open source projects hire (1) people already familiar with and have been contributing to the project, or (2) people totally new to the project but mandated to participate in maintenance and development given its a key infrastructure. this, imo, is how open source should be maintained: companies with skin the game commit to its survival. the current model of paying money to someone not in the employ of anyone (and so maybe doesn’t use the project themselves) is bound to lead to the current pay me or i abandon the project.

Have you heard of strawman argument?

Look it up.

You're worked up and are taking it out on me because you created the narrative in which it appears I'm sending some kind of subliminal messages about corporate loyalty. You've been told multiple times it's not the case but you refused to accept it. The same way you can imagine you're a billionaire and refuse to accept the reality of that you aren't.

The story you made up has nothing to do with mine, but you refuse to read so that's where our multiplayer monologue ends.
The whole point of "Contact sales" is for the sales team to figure out how much you're willing to spend on their service, and to extract that amount from you. It is frustrating for you, but that's how their business is making majority of their money, so they won't give it up.
The problem where you end up not making any friends and you're all alone now because your Meetup groups are bust.
The same effect can keep you from getting the full value from objects. For example, you are allowed to write in your own books. If adding annotations helps you learn faster, that's probably worth more than the possible loss in value of the book. There might not even be any loss of value if somebody agrees your annotations are useful. And how often do you sell books anyway? There's also no schoolteacher waiting to put you in detention for vandalizing school property.

Hmm seems to be missing an obvious improvement: A more cost-sensitive version of akamai's CDN (which has a pricetag of "become fortune 500 and we'll be in touch") available to linode customers.

> Calling the view of approximately half the US population "unserious"

First, I don't think half the US population seriously thinks taxation is theft. Mainly because a vast majority of us support medicare and defense spending, which are funded out of tax.

But this is where you get into "unserious" territory. Let's say everyone agrees to abolish taxation. That means no government, which means no government services, which leads to a lack of policing. In that world, who is going to enforce your property rights? Only thing ensuring things you consider yours stay yours is if you are stronger than everyone else.

Are you saying that half the US population really want to go back to eras when you only trusted your own tribe, wars and pillaging were rampant and only the might was right? If you don't intend to say that, then please explain who will enforce property rights in a nation of 330M people without any services funded by taxes.

meanwhile all my post college relations have been through work and I've struggled to try and make friends outside of work. Unironic advice seems to be to make friends with co-workers.

SC 2013 was such a let down after so much hype, for so many reasons. As a lifelong Sim-anything fan it was crushing.

Cities Skylines seems like the successor to SimCity, but even that has some deep-rooted flaws in traffic management and agent flow. Some mods exist to help coax it a bit, but it's still just a broken approach at scale.

Traffic and routing is hard, I get that, but there has to be a better way. Building a city around the routing flaws is not that much fun.

Alienating existing customers is a terrible strategy
This is a “no true Scotsman” argument. Any counterexample with a proposed alternative will be criticised as either not viable, untested or unproven and yet pretty much every nation on earth has a system which includes some legal limits on the powers of corporations in order to protect people. Noone just does completely unfettered capitalism. The importance of this principle goes back all the way to the birth of capitalism with Smith’s “Theory of Moral Sentiments”. The important question is how to strike the right balance of protection of workers vs growth and dynamism in the economy.

Notwithstanding that, the social problems arising from extreme inequality (with its roots in a type of capitalism that lacks empathy for people) are very real. I see them all the time in homeless people living beside the freeway when I visit LA or under the underpasses in SF. Here in the UK there is a growing group of working people who have had to choose between heating and eating this winter[1]. I’m not sure they feel like they have been elevated out of poverty.

The "endowment effect." It is the tendency for people to ascribe more value to things merely because they own them.

Discord originally hosted on Linode in 2015. Unfortunately we had to move off, as we knew Linode would be the limiting factor in being able to continue to grow. So we chose to go with GCP.

Unfortunately, I suspect this is something that happens quite often for Linode, which is that, their most successful clients will eventually graduate off of them.

This may reposition their business in such a way that their most successful clients stay with them.
