<p>It finally puts a number on productivity gain of engineers with AI. This is probably less than 10% of the cost of an average uber developer. So they don't assume much more productivity gain from AI than 10%.<p>(Cost of an employee is much higher than their salary, it includes things like office space, supporting structures like HR/accounting, insurance, hardware/software, and much more)</p>

<p>> It's not super hard<p>For most people it's hard, especially for the stereotypical "IT nerds".<p>I think the best tip for people who have a hard time is: Watch who of your colleagues know "everyone" and spend as much time as possible with them. If they ask you to go for lunch together, always join. If you can work on a project with them, do it. They will casually introduce you to all the people over time, and might just tell you the newest company gossip.</p>

<p>It's not extremely far fetched that someone would call a speaker "bomb". Especially if it's loud and has a lot of bass.<p>We used to call such devices "boomboxes". And a bomb makes "boom".<p>Wiktionary also has this meaning listed for bomb: "9. Something highly effective or attractive."</p>

<p>St. Stephens cathedral in Vienna was built with sandstone that contains seashells. It's hundreds of kilometers away from the shore, but ~15 million years ago the area where it stands now was a seabed.<p>The stones are not from the exact location where it was built, but from close by. The quarry where the stones came from hundreds of years ago is still active, and you can find tons of fossils there. It's practically impossible to get a piece of rock from there without visible seashells.</p>

<p>Sure, but it's still a huge effort to set up all those partnerships and keep them alive. ISPs are often traditional and slow moving companies, it probably takes a lot of work to get those servers in place at the right locations.</p>

<p>The partner network of Speedtest is also impressive. I don't know how many speed tests they need to handle in parallel, but usually it's always enough to do speed tests up to 5-10 Gbit/s. With more and more fiber connections also latency becomes very relevant. Otherwise the tests would be meaningless. Speedtest manages to measure less than 1ms latency on my fiber connection.</p>

<p>A longhorn volume can only be attached to one node at at time. It can share it with other nodes over nfs. I don't think this is going to scale well.<p>Just use Postgres with ro replicas.</p>

<p>The answer is: no, solving your problem was not the goal of the project.<p>But the source code is public, you can extract the relevant scripts from the repo: <a href="https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy</a></p>

<p>If I remember it correctly  Omarchy started as an in-house alternative to macOS in one of DHHs companies. And was then released to the public.<p>So the purpose of Omarchy was to get devices quickly set up with some opinionated defaults.</p>

<p>Omarchy is more like Kubuntu. Some config scripts and a few additional packages on top of another distribution.</p>

<p>If I got the article right, they were running FUSE inside the VM, and the VM's FUSE was talking to a process on the VM host (probably over virtual network). That can't be fast, not even theoretically.<p>Ever access to the fs had to go through two processes and two kernels, virtual networking, and probably even running on two different cores most of the time. That must be slow.</p>

<p>SQLite is in-process. A user space file system is another process. Like Postgres if we want to compare fs with dbs. And Postgres is slow for many small queries, like a userspace file system.</p>
