As many know, the service industry will be hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to support our favorite local restaurants, but stay safe and stop the spread of the virus, I'm aggregating carryout options around the state of Wisconsin.

Okay I feel really stupid for putting off reading Phoenix Project so long This is great. I wish there were like 20 more of these. I can name so many things I’ve seen that I wish books like this were written about Thanks to @spulec and @patio11 for repeated reminders to do this

please ping me if you have you ever wanted the #Redis data types and #lua capabilities but doesn't care about being all in memory. I am wondering if other people need this and will work on a proof of concept to get a sense of how bad/good this idea is

Pro-tip: Before you write tests with sleep() statements in Python, please consider using a library like freezegun (github.com/spulec/freezegun). It'll save you so much time and frustration. It just works with Django too.

How did I not know about freezegun? github.com/spulec/freezegun Looks perfect for some Daylight Savings Time-sensitive tests. Thanks @spulec!
