for static sites on a VPS it's fair to expect the host to provision these, yes?

Good post. +1 for Julia Evans mention. Her work and vibes are worth anyone's time

w00t. L-U-V this

the headline isn't exactly bait but it doesn't exactly set reasonable expectations for the content that follows.

the common thread in similar post is that some folks are struggling with _feelings_ and nothing more. valid feelings set off by real and major changes to the very ground they stand on, I guess, but these feelings are ultimately distractions that can paralysis.

The other common thread is these folks are obviously smarter and more accomplished than I am by magnitudes and they're the first ones I'd expect to pull smart (maybe even inspiring) pivots

I read a post sometime in the last 6 months about the hot business in Saskatchewan or Manitoba selling older, completely unconnected John Deere tractors because farmers found the subscription based service for connected ones to be expensive and unhelpful. Basically a net loss. This wired post seems to be payola I mean a direct rebuttal to that post as well as the behavioral wave because it's probably impacting bottom lines

The worlds most popular tractor brand (Mahindra) doesn't even crack the top 5 in the US.

If American farmers wan't the most repairable tractor, they should just buy the one that is used in poorer, less-connected regions of the world. Those are built for durability and repairability.

Mahindra's line up tops out at 71 horsepower. Americans use 400-800 horsepower row croppers towing 36 row planters.

Some farm, typically agriculture. Your average cattle, sheep, or other livestock farmer will not be running a 400+ HP tractor in most cases. 50-110 hp is common for general property use such as clearing, slashing, loading, material moving. In these cases a Mahondra, or any number of others is ideal. You can get John Deere in the same size, but would be mad to do so with the repairability issues and higher cost.

> Your average cattle, sheep, or other livestock farmer

is a very different person in different countries. The US has large scale agriculture and use large scale equipment.

Those large scale farms aren't the ones who have a problem with John Deere or repairability. Corporate will handle that.

The most popular tractor on American farms right now is the John Deere 5075E, which has between 73 and 75HP.

So you're wrong.

I come to similar conclusions when scanning dev newsletters and I fail to skip over an ad link. Based on the value proposition presented in the one-liner I wonder they exist then wonder whether I really understand "tech industry" as it currently is ...

This is an accomplishment. That it's a couple with two kids elevates it further.

shows up in /models though and encourages you to use it over 3.7 Flash I prefer this over reading specs: the "just show me" way

that's certainly what it's looking like so far. kind of mind boggling ...
