I've been starting the process of creating a web app around it as a bit of a learning exercise for me and a way for people to update wishlists for their secret santa to get ideas.
I'm not a developer and end up having to research and figure things out every step of the way. I'm using FastAPI with SQLite for a small database. I can get it to run locally in dev mode so it has auto-reloading. I can build a docker container that runs the app with SQLite as a Volume, but then it doesn't have auto-reload for while I'm making code changes.
I'm looking for some guidance on how to setup my local development environment while still having the right pieces in place to eventually deploy to a Digital Ocean droplet. I've looked in to VSCode dev containers, docker compose with watch, docker compose with -f for merging files, scripts and environment variables. None of them quite seem the right fit for what I think I want. Anyone have any suggestions or how to rethink my approach to this? Thanks.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors....I think the constitution is pretty clear that as long as the state legislature passes a law (and it doesn't get blocked through some other means within the state), then this will be constitutional. I'm actually more concerned about states going the other way where they ingnore popular vote and install their party electors.

"Add a box labeled Kafka and connect it to the box labeled database"
"Move the Kafka box to the left of the database box and add an arrow to the database box"
It would keep everything lined up, the same size, and arrows straight.I feel like with all the NLP tools around it's really close to being feasible.

If your manager or IT can't point to a quick way to do it, I would do this: Send the email to the people you work with most frequently and can remember. Then set an auto reply for people that randomly email you. Your IT team will eventually deactivate your inbox and people that still don't know will find out when they email you. It's your last day, don't stress.

How does that work with a layer? I've been considering the Voyager (https://www.zsa.io/voyager) because I like low profile and want to try Ortho linear. I have a full size low prifile keychron right now and have loved it. It's a little hard to justify a $300 keyboard when I have one that works just fine.

I haven't tried again in over a year, but it's fine plugged in because it would need to charge anyway.
If I truly wanted a wireless keyboard, I would probably go Logitech now. Their lightspeed USB dongles pair super easily and have negligible latency.
I also recommend a mechanical, I made the switch about 2 years ago and I'm never going back. I use brown switches.
Isn't that a line from a John Green book? I haven't read his young adult novels but I've watched enough vlog brothers to recognize the line.
