This is exactly why the Reddit blackout would have been so easy to win if people actually held their ground

How did your perspective change?

Definitely do, it’s fun. (Usually? Sometimes?)

I’ve had this happen to me. I’m pretty happy to talk to anyone who approaches me so I made the mistake of saying hello to a girl who said hi to me. Being on Khaosan Road I should have known better. Anyway, she kept following me and asking me to engage in various acts for money, or even for “free”. I kept saying no thank you, I’m good, but she kept following. I had to form a brisk jog to get away.

I’ve also just started learning Rust. To stay motivated I’ve chosen a fairly basic project that helps me with a mundane every day problem that annoys me. I find it’s a lot easier to be motivated to work on it because every day, I’m reminded that “oh that thing is so annoying, I need to finish that tool”.

Is it possible to horizontally scale these instances instead of just upping the machine hardware? What are the main performance bottlenecks typically?
