@jnunemaker Might not be helpful for live analytics, but a pixel to flat files via a log then separating compute from data (eg querying Parquet files from disk or S3) is pretty cool. Our biggest challenge now is filtering automated/scraper traffic to better trust the data.

@willcodeforfoo I still don’t get duck for anything remotely live. Like you just shove stuff on s3 then use duck to shove into pg or how does it work?

About ready to build a google analytics competitor again... somebody stop me...

@cassidoo .keys is pretty handy too!

Did you know you can get your GitHub profile pic by adding .png to your profile page? It's super handy! github.com/cassidoo.png

@jnunemaker I’ve done this for GeoJSON… PostGIS is better at it than RGeo, etc.

My hot take: It's a neat trick for hobby stuff but I wouldn't do this at scale. State (aka the database) is the most difficult thing to scale. Don't make it do more work than it already has too. Just put in a few more app servers to generate that json. Or do a horrible thing I once did when working on words with friends... string concatenation. 🤣🤣

@backblaze We're seeing some issues reaching our files via HTTP, is there an outage?

@willcodeforfoo That’s the joke, Kevin.

You guys…any day now.

@ryanlanciaux Celery is pretty much the default answer, but I like Faktory github.com/contribsys/fak… (from the creator of Sidekiq!) and github.com/cdrx/faktory_w…

If you were building something that needed Sidekiq-like functionality in python, what would you use?

Living the remote development life with VS @Code for the past week or so. It's been... pretty good!

#RSpec/#Rails peeps: Any ideas/patterns for reducing the duplication of the "action" bits of specs that is typically inside expect blocks?
