The economics behind diamonds are better explained by an sociologist, not a geologist- the high cost and useless-ness of the gift are a feature not a bug! The burning of significant amount of wealth is a costly signal of commitment to the r

Couldn't they publish two versions of the app, a 12+ that cannot access NSFW servers and 17+ that does?

I encountered this a few times and started adding tests that assert each handler only executes the expected number of queries (and no more). If the application code is modified such that this N+1 query pattern occurs the test will immediate

I forget where I read this, but I recall that due to patent situation it's practically impossible to build a GPU without infringing on some patent or another. By keeping drivers closed source it's possible to maintain deniability-

I've wondered about the 'used panel' market for a while. Do you know why your seller didn't just increase the price of the property or move the panels? Does the second-hand price of panels decrease linearly with the amou

True, I had discounted my time spent on DIY as 'hobby time', which I do for fun and learning. Had I included this then of course it would have been far greater. I have a few plants I wanted to monitor, so price is more relevant- $

You are right, i edited my comment. I think it's wrong for most perspectives- cost, power use, complexity, security, but it's a good choice if you need high-level programming environment or extensibility.

A raspberry pi is the wrong choice for this project from my perspective, complexity is far too high for a simple project. I looked at building the same thing (minus watering) because it seemed commercial products were way too expensive (Par

AFAIK this doesn't happen by default, since by default the autoscaling will reduce instance count to 0 if the old versions aren't receiving any traffic.

It's hard to answer this question without knowing more precise values for "good range", "reasonable flying time", and even "ability to be programmed". At this price point, I think your only option is to bu

The app.yaml routing allows "fall-through" routing, where your application's handler is only invoked if no static files match: - url: /static static_dir: static/ - url: /.* script: _go_app The

OT, but this expression seems like a corruption of 'build up steam' and 'pick up speed'. 'Pick up steam' doesn't really make sense in original context- something a steam train would do while stationary and
