Rug pull, not cool! (Changelog & Friends #40) If Changelog News had an extended edition, this might be it! Jerod & Adam discuss Hashicorp's Cease and Desist letter, Redis getting forked, Boston Dymanics' scary cool new robot, Justin Searls' ex... Changelog · changelog.com Five star episode with Jarod and Adam shootin the crap. The massive Cease and Desist Sucks that the guest had to back out, what a wild world 2024 is. Filled with license and pricing changes. From Vim to Zed Interesting to hear the journey into zed, way to go Thorston diving all the way into working at zed. Boston Dynamics’ new Atlas I later saw this through a YT short, and man does it hold up to the creepy level that they described. MarkdownDown This is a legit cool service, that converts html into markdown

This is handy to make sure that you install the same version on all of your workers.
Devin's Upwork "side hustle" exposed (Changelog News #90) YouTuber "Internet of Bugs" breaks down why AI "software engineer" Devin is no Upwork hero, Redka is Anton Zhiyanov's attempt to reimplement Redis with SQLite, OpenTofu issues its response to Hashi... Changelog · changelog.com Damn 2024 is such a shit show, now Devin seems to be out as a complete scam. It’s really teaching us to have skepticism for what you find on the internet. Turns out that when broken down frame by frame much of the description in the video was a straight up lie. Personally it seemed quite plausible that it was percentage points better than the competition, but I was not holding my breath for it to be a hands off engineer.
External Link stackoverflow.com I learned about the sqlite_master table from this stack overflow answer. This helps make a lot of sense to how sqlite works. The master table contains all the sqlite objects and the sql to create them. The.tables, and.schema “helper” functions don’t look into ATTACHed databases: they just query the SQLITE_MASTER table for the “main” database. Consequently, if you used
Redirecting 15r10nk.github.io This is a cool snapshot testing tool that automatically creates, and updates test values for you. Starting with some test code. now if I run my tests will fail because my assert will fail, but if I run it will fill out my snapshot values and the file will then look like this.
GitHub - nalgeon/redka: Redis re-implemented with SQL Redis re-implemented with SQL. Contribute to nalgeon/redka development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com Redka a sick new redis compatable api, that uses sqlite as its backend datastore. It feels lightweight to use as it is a single small binary. Data does not have to fit into memory as it uses sqlite to store data.
Arch Linux - News: The xz package has been backdoored archlinux.org Check your system to see if you are vulnerable to the xz backdoor. I found this line most pertanent to me. The xz packages prior to version 5.6.1-2 (specifically 5.6.0-1 and 5.6.1-1) contain this backdoor. Also it appears that arch is not vulnerable as it does not directly link openssh to liblzma, so the known attack vecotor is not possible. read to the end of the linked article for more.
I found this statement quite intriguing. multi-cursors are just macros. This is quite a philisophical video and mostly prime talking about the things that make vim vim, and what prime needs in and editor vs what he can live without.
Use an llm to automagically generate meaningful git commit messages I harper.blog This is pretty sick, I wanted this early on when I was making lockhart. I wanted to do the git hook thing but could not figure it out and did not know that was a hook that I could use. Git Hooked Then I remembered! Git hooks! Lol. Why would I have that in my brain - who knows! I asked claude again, and they whipped up a simple script that would act as a hook that triggers with the prepare-commit-msg event. This is awesome, cuz if you want to add a git message, you can skip the hook. But if you are lazy, you exclude the message and it will call the LLM. Simon Willison’s llm cli comes in clutch here, it has such a good intereface to allow a prompt to be piped in, but the system prompt be set by -s. I love hacking on projects, but often I am super bad at making commits that make sense. I completely relate to this statement, and this is why I am trying it.
Optimizing SQLite for servers SQLite is often misconceived as a "toy database", only good for mobile applications and embedded systems because it's default configuration is optimized for embedded use cases, so most... Sylvain Kerkour · kerkour.com Very interesting article by Sylvain, suggested by Simon Willison. Definitely some things that I want to come back and try later on. Here is the TLDR of the whole post This is interesting, and something I need to consider. I definitely have an application with slow count queries. I am not sure how to make it better as its not a full so a count table doesn’t work, nor does counting by index. I might need to have a table of cached results, and if a write matches the counter increase it, or update all counters on write. COUNT queries are slow SQLite doesn’t keep statistics about its indexes, unlike PostgreSQL, so COUNT queries are slow, even when using a WHERE clause on an indexed field: SQLite has to scan for all the matching records. One solution is to use a trigger on INSERT and DELETE that updates a running count in a separate table then query that separate table to find the latest count.
Inspiring story transitioning into tech from nursing. I also came to tech through a set of circumstances that made it difficult for me to excel at my current job. Looking back it is something that I was always interested in and I was just unsure how to get in, I am so glad that I figured it out, it has been such a great benefit to my family. I really enjoyed listening to trshpuppy’s journey in through building projects, and choosing tech not based on what she wanted to learn, but what fit the project the best.
