Good work! What was it about this problem that made you need Compute@Edge rather than the standard Fastly/Varnish VCL-backed caching? If you tried that route, how far were you able to get with Varnish before needing the new Compute@Edg

As you snap it off one half, I am guessing the keyboard will work if you snap it off both halves?

If you want a split keyboard for ergonomic reasons, a fantastic resource is [1]. It lets you compare sizes and shapes, and print out full-size paper mockups so you can try them on your hands. I did this and it turned out the keyboard I thou

Same, when I've read the docs I've always got the impression that it was R only supported.

It'd be great if the Docusaurus team added mdBook and Bookdown to their comparison, with an emphasis on code example execution or including code from larger programs. I find that feature of mdBook invaluable (its marker-approach makes

I played with Auto Hotkey (AHK) recently as I wanted to add a layer to my keyboard. Wow, what powerful software! But I really disliked the scripting language and wished they'd used a standard language. I ended up installing TouchCursor

PHP is a victim of a lack of core contributors and a reputation as a toxic environment if you get involved. We think of Python as severely under resourced (2 FTE devs on the language IIRC?) but PHP has less. PHP's ethos means there&#x2

Have you used litereplica or litesync? It doesn't inspire confidence that their websites haven't been updated since 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Would this cope with needing to replicate the web server onto another machine as well, for cloud-level reliability? Rather than web + local db <-----> rds you end up with web + local db <-\ |--&g

I like RDS because I don't have to think about backups, replication etc but if I colocate the app server (web server, application code) and the database server on the same machine I see 1-2 orders of magnitude performance improvement i

It's important to say that these footguns are not exclusive to Rails. I don't know a single web framework which avoids them - if it exists I'd like to know so I can learn how they do it.

What I've never got to grips with is the "use a single writer with SQLite" advice. That seems doable with a long-running application server, but if your application boots up on every request (like PHP, Python & Ruby appli
