I wouldn't trust it for write concurrency but it's been great for my use case (reads are multiple orders of magnitude more frequent than writes; and the writes can be queued), I'm using s3sqlite for this from the Zappa projec

I'm getting ready to do this but haven't figured out a way to open a bank account there without visiting the country. How did you do that? I saw there's a service that will do it for you but it seems like an expensive monthly

A scenario I'm not sure has been talked about much is the notion of some kind of "Automation tax", in which industries that adopt automation that remove significant amounts of human labor pay an additional tax to offset lost

So crazy to see this video shot in the neighborhood I lived in the summers as a kid. Chandler's got a lot of good things going for it as eggpy mentioned -- well marked roads, wide, very little rain. On the downside, the entire Phoenix

Same experience here -- got back into dev earlier this year and decided to go with Python 3 everywhere. The only libraries I've needed that were Python 2 only were ones that weren't being maintained anyways. It's been a prett
