Hetzner is solid from a perf / price perspective. Mind that the network peering outside Europe is not that great. So could be a very good choice depending on your user base' location.
True. In our experience it's fast enough. Additionally traffic is free unless you hit the 20 TB outgoing traffic per node (which probably will never happen to us). In contrast gcloud costs about 12ct per GB outgoing traffic (!!!).
I always tend to have enough food at home that would last me two weeks easily. I would fill my bathtub in case things start to get more serious. That should be enough drinking water for some time.
> I'm an early adopter of 4k60. If you write code and you're not on 4k, you don't know what you're missing. 4k is great.
4K adds a lot of screen-estate. Having a "normal" 27" 4k screen, I recently worked on a ultra-wide curved screen. It blew me away. I can so much recommend curved screens over regular 4k screens. All you applications can fit next to each other on eye height.
This is a very... erm... "early PC era" way of thinking.
Back in the days, many moons ago, both displays and software typically had a fixed DPI (96 for Windows) and so a larger resolution was basically the same thing as a larger display. The two were interchangeable.
In the photography and print world (and everywhere else) the resolution is just the "level of detail" or "sharpness", completely independent of the size.
With Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and recent-ish OSX the display resolution is finally decoupled from the display size. This is especially true at nice even resolutions such as precisely double or triple the legacy 96 DPI (200% or 300% scaling).
I've been using 4K monitors for over a decade, basically since they've been available and it always cracks me up to see some people run them at "100%" scaling with miniscule text. That's not the point. The point is that at 200% scaling text looks razor sharp, but is exactly the same size as it would be at 1920x1080.. You can clearly distinguish fonts that look virtually identical at 1920x1080. It's amazing, you have to try it yourself.
Caveat: If you need (or nearly need) prescription glasses, 4K or higher resolutions may not make much of a difference for you. In this case, you're likely better off having a bigger screen and/or a very big screen further away from you.
Windows has had some PPI scaling at least since the XP days, and it always has been pain in the ass. Sure, with integer scaling it should work pretty well, but it is the biggest thing holding me back. And especially as I also use Linux on the desktop which is not much better.
windows scaling is totally fine. its not perfect, but it works a better than people give it credit. i have yet to experience a program that's giving me issues.
the only caveat is that it doesn't work properly if a program is on two monitors which have a different scaling factor (i.e. the scaling from one monitor is applied for the whole program)
That whole reasoning seems suspect to me, honestly. "I want 4x as many pixels so that every pixel can be scaled up to 4 pixels!". Sure font rendering can take advantage of that, but is the difference significant? To my eyes, no, not really.
We (me and a friend) did something similar for multi city round trips within Europe (https://tripchemy.com).
We created some data structures that allow almost instant searching of such routes and we have scrapers running regularly on Ryanair, easyJet, wizzair, and Transavia. You can query the algorithm here: https://algo.tripchemy.com/routes/TSF?year=2020&month=02&day...
I've always wondered how things like this work; how do you actually get all the routes and price information? Do you need to scrape every route on every possible data individually?
Thanks a lot! We use scrapy[1]. Our crawler's behavior is very polite so most of them won't block us. Easyjet for example is very strict against crawlers and will block most of them(and us).
Is there a reason this wouldn’t work in the US (obvi the prices would be higher). But hypothetically could you support North America and or South America?
The only thing is that we have the crawl US airlines and support an additional currency(USD). So yes, there is no reason why this shouldn't work for North and South America. Do you think there is a market for this in America?
We built our own tool at Datastreams (https://datastreams.io) to collect data. We currently collect several thousands of events per second, mainly web data.
Events are mainly streamed to one of the following: Cloud buckets(S3, etc), HDFS, SQL-db or Cassandra.
Most clients use one of the following visualization tools: PowerBI, Qlik or Tableau.
My idea is that the tool can be used to quickly communicate product vision and current progress to the team or external stake holders. I can also imagine teams using it as their primary tracking tool, if the company is small enough. If you end up using it, please let me know how I can improve it and how you are using it.
I'm a faster too and have more energy as well. No more energy drain after a big meal. Another advantage of fasting is that you spend less time on food. Our western society involves a lot of time on food(breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks).
Yeah the time saved surprised me also. No more "hmmm what to eat for... " only one meal a day. I was surprised to learn how much time I spend thinking of either what to eat, or eating or digesting it in a food coma :)
