Get the synth wave glow working for VS Code on Mac

These notes are pretty much the same steps as the two extensions list, it's just that I had to collate them together because neither seems to list it fully in the proper order.

Install Synthwave ’84/Synthwave + Fluoromachine theme on VS Code (I used the Fluoromachine one)
Install Custom CSS and JS Loader
Command + Shift + P to open command palette > "Preferences: Open settings (JSON)"

Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.

	When using http.Get(), is it really necessary to read the full response body just to close it later?

	[9:10]
	The docs keep saying `Caller should close resp.Body when done reading from it.` and I keep seeing code like this:
	```
	io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, resp.Body)
	resp.Body.Close()
	```
