    Thanks for that link, looks like that API was created after I started the project using BigQuery. It's still labeled "experimental" though, which makes me a bit wary to use it just…

    You're arguing that it's good to (intentionally) break with common code idioms for certain classes of libraries?? Also, have you actually seen the auto-generated APIs he's referrin…

    A lot of people are not free to decide that. Go has become very popular in young, mid-size tech companies. Most of the alternatives you listed are too new/fringe/unproven to consid…

    I'm sure most people outside that subgroup would jump at the chance to get a cheaper substitute. Asacol HD is $600 - $700 for 90 pills: http://www.goodrx.com/asacol-hd

    Clearly you haven't been apprised of the current rules. Hatred of white males is categorically not racism, because they have all the power.

    Did that entail a lot of hand entry of product information? (considering that Amazon was, as you said, lacking specifications)

    Can you elaborate on a monitor stand & arms that would work well for a setup like this?

    Actually, it looks like this doc is out of date. The README on Github shows that method naming has been corrected, and CC numbers have been added: https://github.com/joke2k/faker

    Anyone know where the images are coming from? Most of them aren't pulled directly from the story. There are also copyright issues with images that make this legally tricky to pull …
