very incorrect. Visit a country with near-100% NFC contactless card rollout like AU or NZ. Contactless cards(paywave) are effectively instant. Checkout lines are noticeably faster, probably 2x with small/single item counts. Everyone si

ive had a lot of success with Locust. It makes it super easy to simulate actual realistic multi-step user flows with state (eg sign up, then create a group, then add some participants etc), and then to probabilistically weight the frequency

There's a few projects out now that do most of this for you; there's a lot of rapid innovation in higher-level docker tools. eg https://github.com/remind101/empire (built ontop of EC2/ECS) You get a 12 f

Used it for some substantial loadtesting, loved it. It's real advantage compared to AB, siege, etc, is how easy it makes it to simulate real user interactions, not just mash on a few endpoints. Only flaw in my books is the crazy high

That's still all on one machine; Dokku can't automatically schedule & distribute containers/processes across a cluster of hosts like Empire & others can. If you're doing anything non trivial you're going to

Off the top of my head, Australia, new zealand, Canada, uk & Germany are all shorter(# years) and far easier(difficulty of visas, crap you have to put up with) to naturalize/obtain citizenship. The US is one of the least progres

I don't think rayner is talking specifically about social interaction when transporting... It's the isolationism inherent in everyone living in giant spaced-out castles of their own, with zero walkability and next to zero common s

I was in the audience! It was a great session - you're a funny guy, explained the concepts well, and there was some really interesting real(or alternate :p) world use-cases for all this stuff.

I'm an aussie and I find it really annoying as well. Definitely cultural. Be polite & friendly at point of order, and then stay out of the way. A reply below you says its to make sure you got what you ordered, etc. I could count on

There are plenty of places in the world where the local coffee shop outputs far better coffee than a Starbucks. I've tried a couple of forms of home expresso, and I can't approach the flavour of the coffee shops around where I live. Sure,

I've done exactly this before. It works really well. For endpoints that support it, you can put a subscription channel id in the normal REST resource. If the client sees the pubsub channel, and understands what to do with it, it can subscri

I would buy that... would be very useful for my lack of schedule. I've collected a fairly eclectic list of throw together recipes in my head than can be made from long life ingredients without being terrible for you. I bet there's lots of
