I can second that Miguel's tutorial is quite nice and sufficient to build Flask apps. Thanks to Miguel (and also official Flask docs) I have some Flask Apps running non stop for a few years by now. Flask is extremely easy to write in r

I am extremely skeptical that it will only cost few cents. (I've sent and received BTC in early 2010s) On ramp and off ramp to fiat will kill you - whether through transaction fees or through slippage. Let's say I am in US with 10

What is the idea behind no foreign keys? Seems quite crazy. Surely that defeats the whole relational database concept? Without FKs you have no clearly defined relations. Is the idea that you have no constraints imposed by FKs, but tables st

Can you actually stack multiple 3090s arbitrarily like that? That is use multiple 3090s to load a single model for inference. I thought that at most you could use two 3090s via NVlink. Stacking multiple cards would open some real cheap opti

I have over 500 unlisted (meaning you need to have the link to watch it) tutorial videos (30-180mins each) on Youtube. They are used for various programming classes that I teach. Each gets 10-100 views depending on class size. I know that Y

I too was pretty skeptical of Copilot when I started using it last summer. However it is shockingly good for filling out Python snippets - ie smarter autocomplete when teaching. Popular libraries like Pandas, Beautiful Soup, Flask are perfe

My maximum spec Lenovo P1 Gen 1 that I have been using for the last 3 years has been really underwhelming. It feels just very average. No premium feel whatsoever. XPS13 by comparison feels a bit more premium. Most damning, out of the two M2

Go felt to me more like improved C with GC - not surprising when Ken Thompson and Rob Pike are involved. With Go you are going to be writing a ton of very explicit for loops. The error handling also feels a bit weird. To me it seemed like a
