Coffee is the main place I've experienced it, really dislike the texture vs other milk alternatives. Almond milk I think is actively better than milk in some scenarios (matcha lattes)

The texture of oat milk is offputting for me. So thick

The one thing I would love to see a good story in chan/go concurrency in general for still is 1-to-n fanout. Right now a lock and a loop seems to be the answer, which is a bit of a blunt tool. Possible I'm missing an option, thoug

The issue is that you need the server-side to have an expectation on the phone home, otherwise you have no idea that the device has lost connectivity, because you can't report that from the device if the device is lacking connectivity.

Once an hour means they're doing ~30k qps if they have 100 million devices (and traffic is well-distributed, which admittedly is pretty easy to do), though 100 million is potentially an overestimate. Point is, you can't just fire

For sure, definitely not a good path for an existing app :) You can use the sqlalchemy-core via async via a few projects ( https://github.com/RazerM/sqlalchemy_aio ) but for the full ORM there's no option, as far as

In modern times that's something you can easily throw far back in mindbank, because in practice using ES6 it almost never comes up, and it's super easy to do a quick refresher on the semantics. If I didn't know that intervie

Give peewee-async as shot if you'd like async DB access as well. https://peewee-async.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Looks like Gino is a new project trying to bake asyncio ORM on top of sqlalchemy core: https:&#

It's an internal dashboard, so that was a stress testing figure - afraid it wouldn't be a terribly interesting write up. It was still exciting for me, because I'd been looking for more or less flask-with-asyncio for quite som

Aha, this article is by the creator of Quart[0]! I'm a big fan - one of my favorite new python packages. It's essentially a super zippy, flask-compatible asyncio python server. I switched a flask app over recently and saw an immed

There's no question that you can build higher-level deployment strategies on top of the system (or any other system). It's just not baked in. Also, YAML in general is not a bad thing, but kubernetes presents you with a ton of boil

> app developers or platform operators Definitely not the former. The YAML-based configuration is not a pleasant app deployment experience. Companies end up needing to do some sort of auto-generation for it to make it sane for app devs.

Depends on what you're using the cache for. Postgres is definitely fast enough for reads of a K/V pair at a scale your master node can support for most use cases, but there are cases that you can't suit with postgres alone at

It's a lot to ask for a web framework, feels like, given the extreme multitude of options. Not unusable, but you're going to have a hard time getting users for an AGPL web framework.

If Facebook wanted these parties to buy ads, they wouldn't have to pay users to hijack their facebook accounts in order to do it.

It's absolutely dangerous to others to walk into the road without paying attention because it can force oncoming vehicles to behave erratically (fast breaking, swerving, etc).

At a past job, I had to edit roughly 5 different repositories in order to do some trivial programming task (send an email or some such). It was quite easily the least productive / most demoralizing workflow I've ever experienced.
