Can you share anything specific about what was clunky/ not snappy about streamlit? I've been exploring streamlit, and it took a little bit to figure out how to use it well, and deploy it appropriately.

Nobody would need to buy it. They'd just need to offer it for sale.

That was a fantastic read. My favorite excerpt: > These laws are not about protecting speech. They’re about politicians ensuring that a favored constituency has access to someone else’s megaphone to spread a message I was a high school t

Why do you say "thinking of launching" here, but the page you link to makes it sound as if this is an existing service? From the page: "Our team has set up entities across the world servicing millions of customers"

Thanks for the 429 reports, I'll do some optimization.

Sorry about that, when I first posted I copied the URL from the page I was using. It had a bunch of login cruft that doesn't work for public access. The link should be updated, so it should work now.

Are there any isolated parts of the system that you can work on outside of the fully-built system? Maybe there's some refactoring that needs to be done, where you can do some of the work in isolation and then stage it for the next buil

I think the best piece of swag I ever got was a high-quality fidget spinner from Pluralsight. Even though fidget spinners were a fad, they're still pretty cool to have around. That one from the conference is still around in our house s

There are things you can love. It might sound silly unless you've climbed mountains in the winter, but I love my ice axe. It's let me go places I'd never be able to go otherwise. That said, it is different from the love I hav

I'll share a take that comes from spending many years as a classroom teacher. Every classroom is a community. Regardless of your views on education, you have to do something to manage that community. If you do nothing, then the loude

I'm a science teacher, and every time I introduced students to the periodic table I tried to use one of the extended versions. For people just learning atomic structure, that version is much nicer for building an understanding of the c

Assuming you're talking about the overall sharp drop-off and not the bounce-backs, this was my favorite way to explain it to students: We live near the ocean, and we have a rocky shoreline. We have a couple coves nearby. One cove is ab

Your last post mentioned a potential 6-figure payout. If that's realistic, then paying a lawyer to craft a communication that requires a response will be a lot more productive than continuing to post here. A drawn out lawsuit would be

My favorite graph of all time is the one that demonstrate Voyager 1 had left the solar system. I was a high school math and science teacher at the time, and I spent the whole day sharing this graph with students. It was so much fun watching

I live in Sitka, AK. I don't know my town's land area, but we're roughly a 14-mile strip of land right between the base of steep mountains and the ocean. Most of town is about a half-mile from coast to mountains, with some st

I think the more important point would be that many of their most prominent writers would not put up with it. I imagine that has way more influence than a large number of writers with tens to hundreds of subscribers.

My favorite keyboards are not backlit, and I was frustrated to have to put them aside after sunset. I ended up getting a small battery powered light and attaching it to the bottom of my desk. It shines on my lap, and lets me use non-backlit
