I'm not aware of any API (surprising for AWS), but you use Spot Fleet to get an array of spot instances optimized for cost. Having a bid above spot price does not guarantee you'll keep the spot instance. AWS can terminate a spot

There are lots of good options for low-maintenance SSL certificates, from self-hosted (Let's Encrypt) to CDNs (CloudFlare) to hosting platforms (Netlify). Even so, this doesn't actually change much. I've never bought a certi

Netflix is well-known as a very data-driven company, so you can assume almost any change is backed by data. But solely data-driven decisions can be a bit myopic—You're likely to end up in a local maximum. For example, Netflix selects

Microsoft offers a Bing API [1]. So Microsoft is getting paid by DDG for using Bing. Given Google's domination of the search market, I think it makes sense for Microsoft to sell their search API and let other companies help chip away

That basically is what a venv is, an entirely separate Python install. Some files are linked rather than being copied, but it looks the same. venv gets you a couple extra conveniences, like the activation script. I wouldn't call ve

If you're Googling "what is a shallot," it means you don't know much about cooking and are trying to learn more. Seems like the perfect target market for an online cooking class.

The crux of this is that PRs should be small. The larger a PR is, the harder it is to work with: more difficult to review, riskier to merge, and more likely to conflict with somebody else’s work. Making PRs as small as possible (but no sma

AFAICT she’s not using anything besides basic branch management and cherry-pick. I think having a decent grasp of interactive rebase would help with this flow, but not strictly necessary and author doesn’t mention it.

This is a fun debugging story, but is a great example why servers should be cattle not pets. Having trouble with a VM? Blow it up and get a fresh one. Still having trouble? The provisioning steps are codified, you can walk through them

As a fellow Python user, honestly I think you're fine. Rachel's issue with gunicorn stems from the gevent stuff, which you probably don't need and I would avoid unless you do. I'm a bit mystified by Rachel's use ca
