Can't comment on Python, but I once worked on a Node.js codebase that could only handle tens of requests per second, it was highly unusual and doing some incredibly dumb things like pinging out to Redis to check for DDOS protection cou

I did a tender for aggregating events and emitting notifications from a fleet of transport vehicles that reported metrics over LTE. When connected they would emit events as they happened, but when there was poor service or disconnection the

Reading this thread made me realise I developed this as a defence mechanism and have honed it over many years, but as you say it's a great social skill as well. It's amazing how many conversations you can have about interesting su

That sounds like a very effective way to replace cheap, generic, easily replaceable windscreen wipers with expensive, high margin, brand specific wipers.

Are you running a bitcoin node that successfully mines blocks? If you were adding a hypothetical transaction that would heavily injure a majority of miners (think shifting a huge number of the Satoshi owned coins to the US Gov) do you think

Really exciting, I wish you would display what keys you are pressing in the demo video though, as it was hard to track down how to find bindings such as the file-picker (I come from sublime where it is bound to ctrl+p)

I feel much the same as you, smoking to me was always an easily excusable pretext to be alone or speak to complete strangers as required. I also felt it helped to bridge the strata in the workplace, as a junior I'd often end up sharing

To extend your simile, in this case Epic appears to have accepted a booth in a marketplace where there is significant foot traffic, easy access and well tested distribution channels. They are quite content selling their wares there yet do n

No I don't, I'm being misunderstood even in this thread! What I do believe is that as the speaker I have to do my very best to make sure the receiver can understand what I'm saying, they have to do their part too, of course.
