The image is a medium shot of a man with distinctive Vulcan ears and a black, bowl-shaped haircut, portraying the character Spock from Star Trek. He is wearing a light blue uniform shirt with a dark blue collar and a Starfleet insignia on the left chest. His head is turned slightly to his left, and he looks towards the viewer with a subtle, perhaps slightly sarcastic or amused, expression. His eyebrows are raised, and the corner of his mouth is turned up.

A skier has just left the lip of the kicker, in bright sunshine, and one ski is just coming loose. The cloud of snow on the lip behind her is testament to the edge that cut in.
Later in the same jump, she's coming round from a rotation, with a grab on the remaining ski, and is looking across at her rapidly departing left ski. The expression is a bit "WTF?"

There are two main ways to replace part of a string in a text editor, with a longer string.
Either you use the overwrite mode to overwrite the overlapping part, then switch to insert mode to append the extra characters, or you delete the overlapping part, then insert the new string using insert mode entirely.
Or you can be chaotic, use overwrite mode to replace part of it, prematurely switch to insert mode, delete the remaining extraneous characters and insert whatever is left.

Each year, about 400,000 international students are granted study visas to the UK. A significant proportion do so with the help of education agents: middlemen paid by universities to find foreign students. In 2023, UK universities spent a total of £500m on education agents - but there is very little oversight of how these agents operate.

So, decided to get them rookie `/queue` numbers up so did a quick bit of caching. For a 12-job queue, I went from 240 RPS (Python/Flask) to 680 (Golang/Gin) then to 3400 RPS with some proper caching. The `/workers` endpoint would benefit as well, but I think its performant enough though I may end up adding a bit of caching later.
