This looks really great! My team wanted a CMS but didn't find the budget. We manage our copy in JSON files in our apps, much like this seems to do, so I actually think this would be a very straightforward transition, though we'd n

The argument is that the application would be much more performant, and would handle that issue better, not necessarily avoid it.

Not to mention that LSD does not make you better at communication while on it.. Isn't the trope that leaders go on a hiatus and do LSD for ideation, not for performance?

I would say the research was a success. They found that when a bad actor submits malicious patches they are appropriately banned from the project.

The bookie odds go into the formula as b- the net fractional odds received on the wager. We have our own models for our confidence, and the Kelly criterion decides our wager size (though we don't use a full Kelly bet). Yes, the sportsb

I have used the Kelly Criterion successfully in automated sports gambling. It's relevant anywhere you are doing confidence-based arbitrage.

Checked out the website and I still don't really know what it does. Why is it better than any of the popular dataviz products? Your site says "forget excel", but the only example is something I could easily make in excel. I s

Disappointing that your manager, who you liked and described as fun and effective, wanted to fire you for it.

The product looks great, but what advantages would this have over knative? I guess setup is a bit quicker with porter, but after that I'm not sure.

Neat stuff; I didn't know about TPL Dataflow. But at the end of the day it saves data to a local .csv file. This is what "avoided" a database, and can obviously be done without TPL.

Auth0. I use it on all side projects and in production at work. We actually started with Firebase Auth (branded as Google Identity) and moved to Auth0 later for some small differences. Also though, Auth0 was just acquired by Okta, if that m

Personally I think the meatball is just as beautiful and timeless, just not in a minimalist "sci-fi" way.

Looks interesting! Is there no live hosted example site built with Wasp? I didn't see links for deployed versions of the realworld or TodoApp examples which would be nice. (edit: I found a Medium clone linked on their homepage: https:

I migrated a side project from Flask to FastAPI recently. It's deployed to GCP Cloud Run with a Cloud SQL database, and integrated with Auth0 and Stripe. I use tiangolo's uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi base image. It's been really
