#pros
- transit is unpleasant
- transit does not take directly to where i want to go
- i can hail a car from inside, and meet it at the door when it arrives
- i dont have to worry about parking
- i dont have to worry about drinking
- lets me not have to buy + store a car
- now each car ride has an explicit cost associated with it
- will remain more local since will bike or walk
- upfront consent of destination b/w customer and driver
- billing handled within the app.
- route is being explicited logged by a central service that can be referred to if something goes wrong
- some sort of system that removes bad apples...
- bringing death and distruction upon entrentched cartels

#cons
- costs more than transit
- transit move more people efficiently for heavily trafficed routes
- transit (location + route dependant) will have a right of way through either a special lane, grade separated tracks, or completely separate tracks
- getting an uber at the airport is hell...
- current implementations leave something to be desired (mounds of bad press for urber, lyft doing same but less poisoned than uber)
- bit scarry to be around the drivers while on a bike
- having an aggressive + experienced cabby can be pretty fun

While [](https://lowendbox.com/) has lots of great deals, especially if you are willing and able to pay up front (ie: $39 per year for 4cpu + 6GB RAM [src](https://lowendbox.com/blog/sparkvps-4-offers-pure-ssd-vps-from-1-95-month-in-dallas-new-york/) compared to $5 per month for 1cpu + 1GB of RAM with [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/) )

<title>I Have Mastered Elm By Making Yet Another Calculator (For AWS ElasticCache), And So Can You</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/assets/elastic-cache-elm.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a &lt;em&gt;fun&lt;/em&gt; task, I relearned first year pure functional programming using &lt;a href=&quot;http://elm-lang.org/&quot;&gt;Elm&lt;/a&gt;. To generate something more useful and exciting than YATA (&lt;strong&gt;Y&lt;/strong&gt;et &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;nother &lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;odo &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;pp), I decided to come up with a simple calculator for figuring out much it will cost per day to operate a Redis Cluster on AWS Elastic Cache for a given size + network speed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take Aways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Its amazing how much one can forget from 1st year CS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even coming from writing functional-ish all day at work, pure functional programing is hard (really wished for an optional index param when iterating through a list)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Elm’s documentation code really be fleshed out to cover more than how to get things started and how the language compares to JS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Elm’s compilation errors were really clear and useful (especially in VS Code)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feel free to check it out at:
