Every cloud company has anti abuse systems that will limit your access to their APIs / take down your machines if abuse is suspected - for example if it looks like you're mining bitcoin. Your prod isn't any different from you

> There's no need to evaluate different routers, form libraries That's a great thing about Vue, too. vue-router and vuex are well-designed and well-supported / integrated. Makes a huge difference.

This has been a particular problem for the handicapped community as I understand it, as the service speed for handicapped vehicles has been much worse.

Yeah - if necessary you can use something like uWSGIs caching interface ( https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Caching.html ). For most of these sorts of things you'll typically be fine caching the objec

It's not necessary in python (or many other server frameworks), because python doesn't typically follow a model of process-per-request. You can just stick it in memory available to all of your threads.

I actually really like fileinput - to me it's a great example of the good kind of batteries included. I appreciate easy built-in utilities for super common programming tasks! Those are great to have. Different strokes I suppose?

With 15/hr minimum wages, restaurants and bars in NYC have to aim for something like 8% of revenue spent on rent to break even (meaning you need to target 50-60k a month before you begin to break even on a fairly small space)

I'm actually surprised there aren't more options for social spaces. Cafes are a sort of social-anti-social space, but past that it's somewhat lacking. Local gaming stores for nerdy-style board gaming nights tend to do well. W

It's a scale thing when you want a ton of different endpoints. This is one of the options that Google Pub/Sub and SNS can do for you (and if you use e.g. App Engine, this is also queueing model). It can sometimes be an easier mode

I'm not sure that's true. I doubt most people can't maintain productive focus for 12 hours of a work day.

I'm pretty shocked how open consumers are to paying more money for a worse product via delivery. Foods travel poorly when steaming in boxes. Hot sandwiches (like burgers) and anything fried are especially notable examples (though most

More that I think (or hope) that it will continue to be widespread because of these things. It may be right, but I like to think it's not the case. That said, I do care much more about the culture of cooking than your average joe.

This really assumes the only point of cooking is sustenance. I think reality is much more complicated. I'd argue that the tradition, culture and craft of cooking is equally important. Having people prepare food on your behalf isn'

For short lived scripts and small programs you’re not expecting to need bleeding edge performance, so it doesn’t matter much either way.

Seems like gotos would be fairly easy to clear out in the automated refactor. Control flow feels like one of the more trivial parts of automated refactoring, because that's straightforward AST modifications?

Cars are expensive compared to local salary. Electric scooters are much more common. Subway usage is very high, the volume going through their Subway is nuts - trains are basically tailing each other every 2-3 minutes at peak.
