Yeah I want to say I remember this making the rounds (remember email forwards?) during my first year of undergrad ('99-'00) but I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact timing.

Going slightly downhill can make it even easier to focus on balancing instead of propulsion.

There's already a bottle web framework [1]. It came out around the same time as Flask I think. It might have even started as a spoof of Flask even? Or vice versa? [1] https://bottlepy.org/

They specifically said "customers" not "users" and in my experience (healthcare) they're correct. Being able to tell customers IT departments you support SSO via SAML goes a long way towards getting a purchase appr

I don't know about the Cybertruck specifically, but yes, brakes are virtually always capable of providing more stopping force than the engine can oppose.

If it was ferromagnetic you would likely feel it tugging as you got close to the magnet. Gold, silver, titanium are ok in MRI. However, next time, the second you realize you have metal on your person you should immediately inform the techs

It's like anything, you just need to practice and build up to it. If you go out day 1 and try to ride 800km you're going to have a bad time. Being physically fit also helps a lot imo. The r1100r also doesn't have much in th

> We let you place the virtual tenant DB either on one multitenant Postgres DB or a dedicated Postgres. Sounds promising, but by "a dedicated Postgres." do you mean a different server or just a different db on the same server?

If you serve on localhost you can usually access from other devices by using the "servers" ip address. So if your desktop where you're running the server has ip 192.168.1.10 then you can go to http://192.168.1.10

Thank you so much for your work on zoneinfo. I spend my days working on a legacy Django app and can't wait to switch from pytz to zoneinfo. In my experience, timezones are always a struggle so your efforts to make them easier to deal

V4 motorcycles are my favorite sounding bikes! Also arguably the best engine configuration for bikes as well. 3 of the 4 manufacturers in MotoGP use v4s and they sound amazing.

How do you deal with the bus factor as a B2B? I lost a few larger contracts because customers would not risk making a one person business a core part of their workflow.

Not sure if it's true in this case but in many cases charging double and halving your customer base is a win I think.
