My M1 is suffering from a bug where there is runaway SSD writes and I have to restart it every few days. I've learned so many coping techniques. I'd never call this the best hardware I've ever owned, that was a 2011 MBA.

Just for kicks I ran `git log | grep "Author: Simon" -C 20 | tail -n 50`

``` commit 53eddd4a0f8786e23f511a653d8d7ffa947ad8db Author: Simon Willison <[email protected]> Date: Mon Apr 23 21:24:41 2007 +0000

There are earlier references as well, but I think the author was making pretty deliberate choices.

I bought $50 in prints from you last spring! Everything went very smoothly. Good luck!

I own a Taz2, but it's nice to have somebody else handle the printing every once in a while.

I make art installations and UI/UX research. A modern browser is one of the best technical canvases. If you are working on browsers and you turn things off, please always allow me a backdoor for my own browsers to turn them back on.

Complex software control of multimedia and the whole browser experience gives me the ability to develop new ways of interacting with computers.

It all depends what you're doing. For a weather station you could do very well and have very low power at one reading per minute. HTTP is great for that.

Also your approximation is off. I'm under 200ms (closer to 110) per insert, end to end. That's before any optimizations.

I buy stuff from Adafruit because they do good work. They are advocates for approachable and understandable electronics. They work hard at combining art and technology and education. They pick good components and they make software libraries and tutorials to match.

I buy their stuff because I think beginners should buy their stuff and I want to see more companies like them exist.

Good question! For some toy weather data, Elasticsearch as the only data store made sense. If I were to add more sensors and features and make this a long term project, I'd likely try to wire up some automated backups. If it were some kind of production app that a second human relied on, then I would think hard about the data, the failure scenarios, budget, etc.

Does that answer your question at all?

(Hi! I'm the original author!) I'm able to get about 200ms resolution at both ends without any trouble.

Pretty trivial to get a new IP address these days.

Celery does a ton of things that channels doesn't currently do. Celery has a lot of workflow concepts built in (Chains, Chords, etc). Celery also has prioritization, and a fairly robust ecosystem that channels may take a while to deliver.

Yeah, it's a projector. pre-recorded projection mapping, custom electronics as a triggering mechanism. Automation for the projector and underlying computer. flask-socketio + Chrome for the media player.

You saw what the article was claiming was the total budget right? If we had done "mischief managed" levels of wizardry on that budget you would have heard about a very different aspect of what we did.

Yeah, this is the exact right answer. The artists in the crew have the pieces in their portfolio. The techs are free to go into details when needed. For much else of the gig and things around it go discretion is the norm.
