For many years (since 2014) the API for Metrc (the cannabis reporting engine in Colorado and other states) would NEVER return any useful data at all, simply an empty JSON array. So after each operation, one would have to query the search e

Do you support cannabis business? Or rather, those of us who provide services too cannabis businesses? Some folk (eg: Stripe, Twilio) frown on even using their platforms for things next-to (but not touching) cannabis.

IME it's one microservice doing something unexpected -- then down(|up)-stream starts to act unexpected -- and it cascades. It's way more fun to debug than some single-monster code base with a complete stack-trace from the single-p

IIRC, it's not about private use but about distribution. We publish libraries under MIT, since other corporate users would very likely need to distribute those. But the higher-level Apps we publish under GPL, so that downstream is obl

Not fully (ie: 100%); since folk were at least getting the skeleton of the pages and other parts did still work -- at least a little. It feels like a core-service outage but not 100% dead.

GitHub is great for discoverability, not exactly "community". Because GitHub is a high-ranking and trusted site some of it's "creditability" can wash-off onto one's own project. Stars are a vanity metric but,

Yes, I'm having the same push problems as a few days ago. Status page is green as I write this. Update: It's now YELLOW -- inside of 5 minutes of my own observation of the outage.

In 2001 I started a PHP project and it was cool, lots of people were going that way. In 2008 folk we telling me it's a terrible security risk. In 2014 they told me it's the WORST choice. In 2023 it's cool again?

Did a search for cannabis -- since banking for that industry is challenging -- and got no results. I think that would be cool.

Cannabis farms and retailers (1200+) in WA have to have cameras covering every square foot of the facility where controlled substances are. Surely we can do that for energy.

Why not use https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite ? You have to write to the SQLite via the rqlite HTTP API but it will replicate the data to N nodes (at least 20) via RAFT and then others can read-only the SQLite replica
