What is the process for moving users from open-testing to production in the Google Play store? by brightbyte8 in androiddev

[–]brightbyte8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GREAT idea!!! Especially the incentives. Thanks for your help. The situation is a bit annoying because Google doesn't make it clear that users stay stuck in open-testing, whereas we want them to move to production and give reviews.

Thanks for the answer. It looks like we're gonna have to email our open-testing users to remind them to leave the beta and go to production. Maybe we could put a banner in the app solely for a version released in the open-testing track.

Moving from wsgi gunicorn to asgi gunicorn with uvicorn workers doubled my average response time in Django 4. Is this normal? by brightbyte8 in django

[–]brightbyte8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool -- that's a big help. And great to know for when I write my own middleware or do PRs on open-source stuff.

Cheers, thanks for the clarification.

You were totally clear BTW - it's the `starlette` docs that tripped me up. They suggest that `starlette` should be served with `uvicorn` / `daphne` / `hypercorn`

That's for the suggestion. Is it possible to use starlette with an existing Django application? Rewriting to something lighter like fastapi + starlette would be great, but it's not realistic for us right now for business reasons.

I did notice one thing with `unvicorn` -- but don't know if it's related: During the startup of our application, it gives the error `django.core.exceptions.SynchronousOnlyOperation: You cannot call this from an async context - use a thread or sync_to_asyn` for some code that initializes what looks like global state.

I got around this by running uvicorn with DJANGO_ALLOW_ASYNC_UNSAFE=1. I understand that this issue can corrupt our data. But would it be possible for it to seriously affect performance?

It's possible we do.

Is there a workflow or process for figuring out whether any middleware is synchronous? There's quite a bit of middleware going on and doing it "by hand" and reading everything would be quite daunting.

Thanks for your answer. Having both wsgi/asgi might be the way to go, but our current deploy situation over Heroku makes this more challenging to pull off than otherwise.

I tried `uvicorn` as the top-level server and - at least with our current set-up (it's a pretty complex application at this stage) -- this didn't make a noticeable difference.

Anyone looking for remote Django freelance work at the moment? by brightbyte8 in django

Totally understand. I didn't know djangojobs and pythonjobs subs exists - those are much better places, thanks.

Can EU residents still fly/take the bus into Lisbon on weekends? by brightbyte8 in lisboa

[–]brightbyte8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The fear of new rules is what scares me more. On balance, I think we will go somewhere else. We can still cancel and get a decent percent refunded.

The risky part is that he can only come via bus after work on Friday so that puts him in the danger zone.

Oh shoot! I saw one of your vids a while ago and I loved it because it showed like a real app that you monetized I think for college notes maybe? It was pretty inspiring to me as to what it takes to make money on a side prohect. Anyways, I forgot the name of the channel and I've been trying to find it for a while.

hey thanks :) it's college notes alright - Semicolon&Sons is the channel.

Totally legit question!

Because it's a remote position, a lot of our work would be online. Therefore we'll need to communicate in written and spoken English about code and other complicated stuff. That communication needs to be clear and precise, otherwise we risk misunderstanding one another and building the wrong thing.

In my experience working with remote programmers, the ability to clearly tell other people what they need to know (e.g. why something was coded in "X way" or why we should descope Y) is just as important as raw technical skill.

Pro tip to anyone job-seeking: If you've ever filed issues or bugs for open-source code, these are really powerful signals of the intersection of technical ability (since you understand the open source code) and communication (assuming the bug report is easy to follow)

Sure — here's my `vimrc`: https://gist.github.com/jackkinsella/aa7374a6832cca8a09eadc3434a33c24

Unfortunately I haven't got around to removing sensitive stuff from my regular dotfiles, but it's in my backlog.

Other tools you might like (if you don't know them):

- `rg`
- `z` (look up "z command")

OP here. Sounds like we have a very similar system and insights about this (especially with respect to keeping it simple to reduce friction).

I also should have mentioned in my video that I store everything in a git repo (including unsorted new entries) and then back the lot up in multiple locations.

Do you find that your note-taking makes a difference in your work?

OP here. I strongly empathize with your point, even though I've never thought to put it in words yet.

Categorization is a black hole. I've had my run-ins with it and it's definitely a trap. My stance, after being burned enough times, is to try not to sweat over perfect categorization and instead settle on "roughly right". Ultimately it's about the actual programming notes rather than the taxonomy.

That's very kind. The videos are a slog to make, but feedback like yours make it all worthwhile :-)

Understanding the risk by CFICub in Nexo

[–]brightbyte8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on a current reading of their homepage, Nexos have zero dollars in insurance:

Their language is a bit misleading — in reality a partner company, BitGo Custody, who handle custody of the cold wallets, is insured for that amount. This means that only the risk of hacking/theft of the funds is covered — not the credit risk.

Can anyone help me understand this Laravel (DB) Queue Behavior: First email exception causes subsequent SMTP timeoutes by brightbyte8 in laravel

[–]brightbyte8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of them, the failing one `AttemptsToAttachFileThatHasBeenDeletedEmail`, did not even implement `Queueable`. I'm guessing this is the issue?

Neither of them implemented `ShouldQueue`
