Speaking of, I always find it very telling that the knee-jerk reaction is to blame a dependency or subcontractor. That's the same mentality that says "paid for code must be better" when, last I checked, there aren't any

If this is worth pitching in a meeting, I'd point out that the creator of GraphQL is also the creator of Airtable, which seems to be a thriving startup. The whole business model there is to give people visual tools to get into a databa

Since you guys are doing something I highly agree with and I replied to your announcement post as well... How about a UML/ERD diagram tool which can spit out schemas and, given a schema to start with, migrations? There are a couple doz

Don't know where this criticism comes from but temp and dewpoint data absolutely matter for air traffic, because it determines cloud bases. If cloud bases are below the decision height for the instrument approaches into an airport, it

Yes, I should have qualified that the airport API thing is much more practical in the US, I suppose, since we spend more on aviation than other countries. Our government since WW2 has subsidized any city which wants an airport so they can h

The only exception to that rule I would say is it might be useful to have your own lightning strike sensor if your nearest airport doesn't have one. Lightning strike data is highly local and time sensitive. You can learn a lot about

I get that people like to play with hardware but for practical purposes, there are public APIs with airport weather station data that anyone can use, published at 5 minute intervals (typically). Considering the data they output must conform

From playing with zappa/django and SQLite on S3, the first page load latency is still a thing even if the one Lambda is always alive, and I don't know why but have my suspicions. I didn't bother to performance test it much ot

by RNCTX 6y ago
You can somewhat accomplish this with SQLite stored in S3. Zappa (python) has a deployment configuration that allows this. It's basically a Lambda that keeps itself alive all the time and for each request, fetches the SQLite DB from S

I agree completely on your critique of profit motive at universities, and think it particularly applies to state-owned institutions. There is a false notion that profit is an automatic good, when that is clearly not the case. There is more

The internet has killed that notion, I think. It's not possible to maintain a farce anymore like they could in the days when the only media that needed influencing was TV, radio, and newspapers. Since the internet is a great equalizer

As a kid I was always prone to car sickness. As a pilot I can shoot approaches with the hood on in turbulence for 2-3 hours a day and it doesn't bother me much. 4-5 hours in a single day when I was doing my instrument training was push

The people who publish this also have a drag and drop interface for assembling low level components into higher level bundles of components, too. Seems to be an all-around well designed system to me, I like it!

Well, that presumes the person is a regular user of Python. Maybe they write bash scripts instead. Maybe they're using a BSD and write bourne shell scripts and hate bash. Maybe they're Windows servers using powershell. As someon

No wonder the UK's app startups are even more ridiculous than the US's app startups ;). Yes, gen-ed is ubiquitous in the US. If you're in any humanities related program in the state I live in (Texas, so that's probably

This. The humanities are glossed over at best in public high schools across the United States. I don't know of one that requires a PHIL intro course of students. College is not vocational training (unless you're a law or medicine
