Interestingly, Sabian is the same family as Zildjian. I believe the owners at the time of separation were brothers Robert (who separated out the Sabian line in Canada naming it after his children) and Armand who took the Zildjian line in Massachusetts.

Been playing drums for 30+ years. I ended up with tinnitus after an extremely loud concert wearing Hearos, which are a brand name for Etymotic ER20s (as with all things hearing it probably was not just that concert, but that was the single point at which tinnitus started and didn't go away). After that I decided to just spend big and buy custom molded ear plugs (In my case 64audio). Even when wearing the -20db cartridges they were significantly more effective for me than the ER20s. My theory is the shape of my ear canal makes it hard to get straight plugs in to get full protection (even the foamies I can't get in far enough). Over time I have gotten used to the tinnitus and with the use of IEMs and the custom Ear plugs, which I've been using for 10 years now, my hearing hasn't gotten worse and the tinnitus levels have remained low.

Not going to speak to the article but want to layout that in 1997 when I was a waiter at Chili’s I made $2.50 an hour base wage, but with tips nearly always cleared $24/h. In 1999 I was a waiter for an upscale steakhouse in the city of Chicago and on average made about $40/h. Several of the waiters there were career waiters and had families. Many career waiters worked very hard to get jobs at higher and higher end restaurants and could clear 100K on the year back in 1999.

This is avoidable by continuing to use Ruby. Just continue to use it and contribute to the community, it's that easy. Ruby still has big businesses using it - Github, Airbnb, Shopify. There is no reason to believe it'll go the way of cold fusion. The language ecosystem is much different than 20 years ago. There are so many languages all thriving. Even Perl is relatively healthy and is a fine choice for doing many things in the software space.

Yea, I agree. Having the endgame solution in place at the beginning is often a mistake and can actually foil your ability to get to the end game.

My hypothesis: it’s hard to have a descent grasp of technologies without having actually used it. Tie that with “let’s not include too many moving parts” and it’s easy to end up in a situation where the edict is “Kafka”. Let’s say you have never used RDBMS, only used rethinkdb and that turned out to be problematic for whatever reason, next project the founder hires you on the premise that the system you build needs to scale to billions of requests per minute ASAP (eventhough currently there is 0 traffic).

I worked at a pizza place in the early to mid 90s in the suburbs of Chicago. The place ran its own delivery service. The service was fantastic, pizzas delivered piping hot most of the times. It wasn’t very hard for the restaurant to set up and operate the service. 15 year old me understood it pretty well.

That said I think where these delivery services have come in is at places that historically didn’t have their own delivery. Now these places suddenly have “delivery as a service” to add on with Seemingly no additional work, a fee, and additional revenue.

These places could easily start their own delivery service if they want, but they must still think it’s easier to pay the delivery as a service fees.

I emailed a local comic shop that’s closed to the public, but I was able to order $100 worth of trade paperbacks. Got it 2 days later. No “online” shop, but still worked. As best you can, try to spend money with the local stores you used to go to.
