Or just run 20 workers and let the OS handle async. OSes are pretty good at this. Async is pretty hard to reason about.

    def slow_sync_view(request):
        # these requests won't be executed in parallel;
        # async version could eliminate this extra latency
        foo = requests.get('https://www.google.com/humans.txt').text
        bar = requests.get('https://checkip.amazonaws.com').text
        return HttpResponse(f'{foo}\n{bar}')

Redis Labs Raises $100M 6 years ago

Check this out:

https://redislabs.com/redis-enterprise/advantages/

Redis Enterprise is a robust in-memory database platform built by the people who develop open source Redis. It maintains the simplicity and high performance of Redis, while adding many enterprise-grade capabilities, such as linear scaling to hundreds of millions of operations per second, Active-Active geo-replication with local latency, Redis on Flash to tier data across dynamic and persistent memory and solid-state disk (SSD) to reduce total cost of ownership, and five-nines (99.999%) uptime based on built-in durability and single-digit-seconds failover. Redis Enterprise supports many data modeling methods with modules such as RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisGraph, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom, and RedisAI, and allows operations to be executed across and between modules and core Redis functionality using RedisGears, a serverless engine that runs across shards and nodes of Redis Enterprise cluster. All this while keeping database latency under one millisecond, so your application can respond instantaneously. Learn how to implement the best in-memory database: Redis Enterprise.

There is no _switch_! You can use easily _mix_ sync and async code without any consequences.

Django provides `sync_to_async` and `async_to_sync`, but it's trivial to do this yourself without Django:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/async/#async-ad...

You can write sync code and use async calls only when needed.

Also, async python is awesome. Things were messy 2-3 years ago, but everything is so much better now.

Eric Schmidt is working to launch a university 6 years ago

If a candidate has less than 3 years of experience AND he has nothing to show AND he has no degree... he will not pass the filter.

Moreover, I'm not really interested in "years of experience". Previous titles don't really matter, too.

What does matter for junior and middle developers: personal projects, specific products or features developed by them or their team, accounts on Upwork, GitHub or StackOverflow, recommendations from other people, a personal website or a blog.

We are talking about the initial screening filter, so _anything_ proving you are a real developer is fine.

Show HN: Top, but for Nginx 6 years ago

Monitoring capabilities are missing from Nginx on purpose. They are not and will never be available for free because there is "NGINX Plus".

This is why I recommend switching to HAProxy.

Show HN: I made a site that helps you find LGBT+ Travel Rankings and Gay Laws 6 years ago

This map is terribly wrong for some parts of the ex-USSR and Asia.

Coming out as a gay person in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan or Azerbaijan is dangerous. Dangerous as in "there is a high chance you'll be beaten up and a mild chance of being kidnapped and killed".

From the other side, Russia is not that bad. Not bad means "you can see gay people kissing on the streets without repercussions" (in the European part of the country).

Syria? Oman? Just no comments.

Why Using WhatsApp Is Dangerous (Pavel Durov) 6 years ago

Don’t let yourself be fooled by the tech equivalent of circus magicians who’d like to focus your attention on one isolated aspect all while performing their tricks elsewhere. They want you to think about end-to-end encryption as the only thing you have to look at for privacy. The reality is much more complicated.
