Where you rotate so far right you end up at the left.

They missed speculation, hearsay, and guesstimation.

Installed RabbitMQ for use in Python Celery (for task queue and crontab). Was pleasantly surprised it also offered MQTT support.

Was originally planning on using a third-party, commercial combo websocket/push notification service. But between RabbitMQ/MQTT with websockets and Firebase Cloud Messaging, I'm getting all of it: queuing, MQTT pubsub, and cross-platform push, all for free. 🎉

It all runs nicely in Docker and when time to deploy and scale, trust RabbitMQ more since it has solid cluster support.

Since nobody's brought it up: MQTT.

It got pigeonholed into IoT world, but it's a pretty decent event pubsub system. It has lots lf security/encryption options, plus a websocket layer, so you can use it anywhere from devices, to mobile, to web.

As of late last year, RabbitMQ started suporting it as a supported server add-on, so it's easy to use it to create scalable, event-based systems, including for multiuser games.

I actually like it when these code helpers guess from one line what the rest should be and suggest it. It's even more fun when it keeps guessing and the suggestions get progressively more whacky. Then they just start making completely unrelated shit up.

Once you say no, it goes back to the beginning and meekly repeats the very first suggestion, like a scolded puppy.

How long before the students gamify it to see who can generate the most alerts?

That Boochani book was really eye-opening. Came across it via The Guardian when it first came out.

If starting out: on web, Python and Typescript will take you far. On mobile, Swift and Kotlin. On Windows/Mac, C# and Swift. You're on your own for Linux desktop.
