This is also a repost from last month, where there were similar comments left.

For those who still don't know which, it's this: https://stripe.com/

I would advise the OP to make changes to differentiate their homepage enough, there's a line between inspiration and copying and everyone on here has seen the Stripe page.

Depends on your use case. Certain parts of the app fit the bill really well.

Just yesterday i put the 'dnspython' module behind a google cloud function and all it took was 5 minutes and i had a REST interface to query MX records. It's great for small little use cases like that.

Another use case might be a simple webhook, where you're receiving pings from an external service and all the serverless function does is save it to a DB and maybe trigger another task for it.

In cases like this you can skip a lot of the devops boilerplate and reduce it a single file containing your function and perhaps a requirements.txt(or whatever manages your dependencies)

Not sure why you were downvoted. I think you made an interesting point that i hadn't considered. You said it's your "pet theory" and people don't have to agree with it or provide counter facts. I would rather infer that it was probably to protect others around her from the so called "infection" rather than the woman herself. Either way doesn't preclude the fact that religion and societal structures(and just all around ignorance) have to share the majority of the blame here.

This looks interesting. I hadn't heard of CaptainDuckDuck. Have you tried Dokku or Flynn(flynn.io)? I had looked at them and settled for Flynn because it had better support for multiple-host clusters.

Great! Thanks for your teams work so far.

Also I did find that someone wrote a ndb-like wrapper around the cloud datastore API. https://github.com/Bogdanp/anom-py I haven't tried it out yet.

Although i think any reasonable path to upgrading to 3.7 might need atleast some wrapper like that around the datastore(even if it's not 100% compatible), otherwise forcing people relying on that to re-write the entire data layer. At this point i might just start re-writing the app, to move to something with less lock-in like Mongodb. But i'd love to hear what other people's plans are for this.

Would the python3 runtime support things like ndb, taskqueue, memcache modules?

We have a python2.7 standard app in production. It would be a considerable re-write if we had to move away from ndb and taskqueue.

It's a reference to the sci-fi book The three body problem by Liu Cixin[1]. In that ta mysterious game about an alien planet where its population can be dehydrated to survive harsh conditions which could last millenia, and then re-hydrated when the conditions are right.

Although i think the terms hydrate-dehydrate are not unheard of in tech stacks for example in a django REST framework called tastypie to denote serialization-deserialization of data.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel)

> PDF

I can envision a scenario such as a REPL for PDF. If you write a lot of latex(or whatever format), it could potentially get converted to PDF and be shown right in your editor.

I'd recommend you give it another try. I'm actually 3/4th through Homo Deus, while an acquaintance finished Sapiens and we talked about it. It seems there's some overlap between them. But i found a bunch of new ideas, some recycled ones. It's unlikely you'll find anything groundbreaking in there, but you might find a good logical explanation of things in a consistent and well articulated manner and touch on some things you kinda knew but never really though about.

Ofcourse there's a target audience of liberal, atheists. Since i think his simple dismissing of God, the orthodox religious people might find objectionable.

I've had the same opinion of him as a snake-oil salesman. Most of his stuff is over-exaggerated. For Chess he says start at the end game and master that first like that's all there is to it. Whereas most people would recommend a multitude of things like do puzzles, read a good book and actually play a lot more classical games etc. Your biggest problem starting out is actually controlling your blunders. For swimming he recommends total immersion swimming, which if found slightly better, but you have to actually do a lot more research and find out a lot more by yourself and also there's differences between salt-water(sea) and freshwater(lakes/rivers). But i still found Terry Laughlin technique to be a good way to start and have some concrete goals to practice, but without a coach i still feel stuck and haven't got my breathing technique down for long swims.

For language he gives you like 6 sentences to learn about grammar to get familiar with sentence framing and frequency lists and that's that.

What i did find him good for was finding people, books and experts to use as a starting point for my own research. I did find Tools of Titan more interesting, but i still think it qualifies as productivity porn. I barely remember one single thing that i've imbibed into my daily life that i already didn't come across from trial and error.

I did find it boring and repetitive about it's hierarchy of Quality at top. But you could try an audiobook version of it, which helped me finish it and did glean something from it. I'd never have been able to with finish an actual paper version.

I recently finished Bertil Lintners China's India War which is a counterpoint to Neville Maxwell's India's China's war. It seems the Chinese way is not expansionist by definition but instead declaring countries, land, sea as part of their historical empire and justify a war as a means for re-aquiring them. It doesn't really matter whether it was justified or not because they do everything to integrate the region after the forceful takeover.

Just curious as to how you got started into this? Are there any references you'd recommend. I have a typical Web dev background(+ some machine learning from college). Been investing in crypto for a bit and would love to learn and implement some basic blockchain concepts on my own. I've also been looking at Solidity.

Depends on what kind of web app you want to build. If you want a single page app, then React + a rest framework (like Django Rest Framework) seems to be popular. If you want a normal server rendered CRUD app, Rails or Django might be fine.

Also depends on who will maintain this app in the future. The more esoteric a stack, the harder it is to find other devs(or they're expensive).

The ecosystem of pre-built modules(eg FB integration) so you don't have to re-invent the wheel. Python seem to have a really good ecosystem of libraries ranging from datascience to crypto.

What are you performance requirements? Do you need sockets? Django now has channels that provide you with some of that.

The answer as always is "it depends". I personally recommend sticking to what you know best(unless you're using this as a learning opportunity) and work with whatever the community prefers in that language.
