I have 3 ZSA boards and I recently said to a friend I will always buy new ZSA products as I enjoy them so much. But $399 for a backpack, that's hard for me to justify. If I am not buying this I'm not sure who will.

I have recently spent a fair bit of time experimenting with this on Fly for my application (https://www.ssrfproxy.com). It's hard to beat the straightforwardness of deploying in a single region, with the database in close proximity. This approach probably to meets the needs of what 99% of developers require. Aka Heroku.
If anyone has thoughts about this space, feature requests, would like a preview of what we are building, or anything else, please do reach out direcly to me at henry@firesync.live, I'm talking to as many people as possible at the moment.

Simple, readable task runner. It has replaced make and rake in a lot of use cases.
It feels like it could do with a bit of over the shoulder user testing.
After a while the game does get canceled which may be the root cause of the issue?
With the previous model a lot of the risk was on the private company, if times were good profits were there, in bad times they made losses. Now with the new model the risk has gone over to the UK government, for better or worse.
The new setup should guarantee a low level of profitability for private companies, with a theoretical lower max, what will be interesting is to see how many companies actually bid.
The private companies actually own very little when running a franchise, most things are leased, such as rolling stock which is largely owned by German funds if memory serves. Investments into stations/parking/ticketing etc is left in place for the next person to take the keys.
I don't think it was a failure of private companies though, rather Network Rail failing to deliver. The government has speced electrification for decades like you say. The cost of eletricifcation has gone through the roof, mainly due to health and safety (good thing). We have also lost a lot of expertise in electrification, much like how we lost the skill to tunnel.
The private companies have pushed for a very large increase in the number of operating trains, with around a 50% increase in the past couple of decades, they are trying to squeeze every drop possible out if the tracks.
The train companies are also often making a loss on these routes, commonly subsidised by foreign Europeans governments looking to expand their rail business, Dutch or Italian tax payers should be annoyed at how their taxes are being wasted.
Profits are also capped so these are not potential cash cows people suspect. British tickets are expensive because the government doesn't subsidise the ticket price, which is a separate debate.
The Public Vs private debate will continue until the end of time, the truth is there are benefits to both systems.
Disclaimer, my wife is senior in a rail franchise, as well as being left leaning, fwiw.
Having a yard/garden with kids is wounderful, open the back door and shove them outside without shoes to play for accessible easy outdoor time.
Half the fun of Friends staying over in the guest room is when you can have a few drinks and everyone relaxes knowing no one is traveling. The next morning you can all have breakfast together.
Car shares are great for going to the shops on Tuesday, getting a car for Christmas when you want to see family is a different ballgame.
My partner and myself both WFH in Peckham, we would love to buy a couple of sandwiches and coffees from pret via an app. We get the occasional falafel wrap on just eat but there are not enough quick delivery options for healthyish lunches.
Ask for more, worst case they come back with no, then you have to decide if you want to stay at that rate. Odds are your stock isn't going to be worth a lot, but I am a pessimist when it comes to equity.
The improved Compiler checks are a great step in the right direction. I know elixir language isn't going to change much (if at all?) now, so putting more time into things like safety and developer productivity will be warmly welcomed.

We're looking for two new developers at Overleaf, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 2 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively and make LaTeX easier to work with.
We work mainly with Node.js and Rails, CoffeeScript, ES6, Docker and a plethora of other interesting tech.
We recently acquired ShareLaTeX.com and are merging the 2 platforms into Overleaf v2, there are a lot of interesting projects coming up such as building a WYSIWYG editor for LaTeX, improving the compile times for LaTeX as well as a host of collaboration features we have planned.
We are also interested in hearing from any developers who would like to work closely with the business team, this can include things such as running experiments, optimising how our blog, templates, documentation are managed and modified, talking to the technical clients and potentially going out on sales meetings.
* Around 75% of our code base is open source and we’re big fans of free software
* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.
* Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Applicants in or near GMT preferred.
* Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely with a London base. Every few months we get the entire dev team together in London.

Just to confirm, the goal here is to say that the open source will not be left to rot in the corner, its going to remain at the centre of the company. You will see updates and improvements coming in the future.
