Interestingly, I think we're seeing less people grow up with general purpose computers, and instead just have an iPad or an android tablet, or a chromebook. I wonder what things will look in 20 years.

Not the OP, but the people I've seen this do it DIY have all done it with Ubiquiti products. A single link can get a mile of range with clear LoS. Depending on how far out you are, that lets you connect to a "real" internet c

One thing you may encounter is that a large company may be using it for many things internally, and that still shows up as just a handful of clones, because they have some central artifact caching service in place.

Essentially this is a way to lets you push all of the weird feature requests your customers might have off into one place. From a customer point of view, maybe you need to rewrite the path based on the contents of a cookie, or maybe you wan

I had written it this way because the OP had specifically ruled out using Django. Point taken though.

Why not start out by using the Django Admin features? That allows you to start with next to no code, but you can easily add a little business logic anywhere you need it eventually, and it provides a way to long term transition to a true app

Almost every ad network does give you some type of API like what you're talking about, but unfortunately they usually actively discourage use of it.

Facebook will be pitching to your Marketing folks that's exactly where you need it. Facebook want data on what actions users took before signing up, which users actually signed up and started paying, and how that relates to revenue. Th

At my job, we evaluated moving from AWS hosted ES to several of the Elastic offerings. Many of them were more expensive than AWS was before taking hardware into account (as in comparing cost of Elastic licensing vs the whole cost from AWS).

If dollars have no value, you should be willing to give away any dollars you have to anyone, no matter how they are using them, right? Dollars don't have a direct value in gold, but there are people willing to take your dollars and exc

Those types of errors are usually pretty easy for humans to find and fix.

I (sort of) work in the advertising industry. I'm really excited to see this change, but the major players in the industry just weren't ready for it, and it would have been very chaotic with lots of money on the line. I think wait

If the problem is that there aren't enough acceptable quality housing with good public transit access, it seems like building more transportation and housing would be a good solution rather than building similarly expensive suburban sp

What I would do in your situation is try to measure the incremental value of future messages, the likelihood that a given message causes an unsubscribe, and the value of the current message to come up with a good balance. For a small list l

A good manager should be doing a lot more than just asking you for status updates in your 1:1s. At a minimum they should be: 1) Providing updates on things going on with the rest of the organization that may affect you. Technically this doe

I did an online food ordering startup a ways back, and it was very surprising how few of the restaurant owners we talked to had clearly thought through pricing strategy for things like this. We had originally gone in with clever ways for ow

My understanding is that the prices are set by Instacart, based on estimates on what they've seen the store charge in the past, plus some markup for price change risk, and probably some amount of profit/cost of maintaining the pri

Not an expert on Houston, but did spend the past weekend there. There's definitely a big car factor there. I had reserved a mid sized rental car to get to and from the airport and around the car centric area I was staying. When I got t

Most of the online gambling operators in New Jersey take PayPal, though you usually have to use either a bank account linked with ACH or a balance you already have in PayPal.

We did actually get to use it at work, to real performance benefit. We have a leaderboard with a list of users, which is normally a list of users totalling between 2 to 50,0000, but in rare circumstances can be several million. The scores

Also not an accountant or lawyer, but I think that if you're paying someone by the hour, and directing them as to how they should do they job, they need to be classified as an employee, not a contractor. This means a W2 instead of a 10

Sorry if I wasn't clear. You aren't relying on just the ack semantics, you're building bidirectional communication on top of software, in a way that's potentially a little unnatural. Here's an example of how you&#x2

Often times these "Service Bus" type frameworks implement request/reply by creating a queue per host, and in every message adding envelope information that includes the queue that the reply should be sent to. This does allow

That's fine, but reorganizations happen, teams can grow, and there is an advantage to having things be separate services in cases like this. Definitely don't just stuff unrelated stuff into a service since a team that normally dea

I think a bigger thing here, is that each deploy should have a REALLY good reason to not be backwards compatible for some pretty long time period. If that requirement is painful for you, then you probably have two pretty tightly coupled ser
