Maybe you're just using the cached Sonnet.

What's the cheapest eInk display one can get, like phone sized or tablet sized? I mean just for experimentation.

I'd look for an Inkplate on ebay. I got the 10 inch one for about £60 which is very good.

Even in a lot of direct sunlight or leaving it out in the heat?

No clue, I've only seen either fully working or physically broken ones. Oldest one I have still has mini-usb and no degradation can be seen. Though I only rescued it this year, it seems like it was used pretty roughly.

Is Uber using Zig for other things by now?

I haven't heard.

Such a legend! I bet he still has his Amiga somewhere in his Hollywood hills mansion.

For Mary Poppins, Disney used the sodium vapour process to get monochromatic light into a narrow channel for matte from a light splitting prism.

It's charming. I'm sure digital post offers many advantages. Van Dyke might be one of a few who has done both.

Kind of a tangent comment

Tangents are a sine of the times.

cos of this economy?

He was an animator and it's the interesting kind of factoids we read these comment sections for. We'll allow it.

You missed the pun

He sold his Amiga not too many years ago. It may have been on eBay.

I enjoy a grilled portobello cap now and then.

And they've been very safe, as far as I've heard. I think generally you can use common sense and be extremely safe all around the world.

Unfortunately there are some exceptions and I believe the highest risk area is India. A lady vlogger on motorcycle was recently gang raped there by 7 men.

With extra danger due to sharing your location online all the time.

I assume this is mitigated by delaying the uploads by a month (which you may need anyway due to sporadic internet access & not always having the time to edit videos).

I stayed away from Jinja2 ... was under the impression it has lower performance. But I could have been wrong all these years.

>For nearly all cases, Django’s built-in template language is perfectly adequate. However, if the bottlenecks in your Django project seem to lie in the template system and you have exhausted other opportunities to remedy this, a third-party alternative may be the answer.

>Jinja2 can offer performance improvements, particularly when it comes to speed.

Although we could say the same thing about Kafka, couldn't we? It's made for much higher throughput and has usually other use cases, but it's also great until it's not great.

At least the last time I used Kafka (which was several years ago so things might have changed) it wasn't at all easy to get started. It was a downright asshole in fact. If you pursue a relationship with an asshole, you shouldn't be surprised when they become cold to you

Yes, absolutely. It's still pretty much that way. Especially if you want to make changes to a running installation, add nodes etc.

Also don't underestimate setting up e.g. views or materialized views even that you can use through the ORM to query. It helps a lot and allows you to combine fine tuning SQL with ease of use through Django, and get a lot of performance out of it. Just remember to create them in the migration scripts.

Any docs? Django migration is a HUUGE pain point for us.

  manage.py makemigrations myapp --empty --name add_some_view

(in the migration file)

  operations=[migrations.RunSQL("Create View some_view AS ....", "DROP VIEW IF EXISTS...."]

(in your models.py)

  class SomeView(models.Model):
       class Meta:
           db_table = 'some_view'
           managed = False

  manage.py makemigrations myapp --name add_some_view_model

An extremely common thing to do. Also great with materialized views. I bet it's documented somewhere in Django's docs.
