I really like the \v that bob uses here, it really does cut down on the terseness of all the special characters. I wanted to replace all occurrences of: name,[email protected],0,171,,2023-09-21 With: name,[email protected] Easy to do with Python, but what about a bit of > regex in Vim?:%s/\v([,]+,[,]+),.*/\1/

Open source, not open contribution with Ben Johnson (Changelog Interviews #433) This week we're talking with Ben Johnson.

Changelog · changelog.com Ben Johnson was on the Changelog a few years back covering his work on litestream, and talks about why he chose to go open source, but not open contribution. You should have a good reason to move off of sqlite.

Point-in-time recovery - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org I just learned that the term PITR means Point In Time Recovery. I have never seen this term, but it is most often referred to in relation to database recoveries.

Very inspiring talk, TLDR, you probably don’t need a database server. sqlite will probably be faster, simpler to maintain, and simpler to test your application.

Why I Built Litestream - Litestream Despite an exponential increase in computing power, our applications require more machines than ever because of architectural decisions made 25 years ago. You can eliminate much of your complexity... litestream.io As applications scale to the edge, to put compute as close to the user as possible, database queries back to the master node get slower and slower. Enter sqlite replication, put the database wtih the application code and replicate from master.

I'm All-In on Server-Side SQLite Ben Johnson has joined Fly.io Fly · fly.io SQLite is the next big database trend. with more horizontal scaling, close to user read heavy applications, having your database in the same application stack makes a lot of sense. Tools like litestream are going to enable global distribution in an impressive way.

Pagefind Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure. Pagefind · pagefind.app Pagefind is absolutely insane. I’ve tried a number of static site searches, and found them all hard to get get going, clunky and not the best experience as a user or developer. I setup pagefind in about 2 minutes on my site where it found and indexed 833 pages in 2 minutes. The only downside I see so far is that it is a lot of bandwidth to the user. On simulated slow 3G you can definitly feel it, but not terrible. Anything slower and its going to start feeling frustrating. edit: I have actually fully deployed it on waylonwalker.com, and its fast! create the index Then I put this on a page, it looks really nice on a white background, but would need some work to drop into a dark theme.

Dang Mariah, killing it with continuous learning perspective.

Simon Willison (@simonw) on X Anyone got a lead on a good embedding model that can embed both images and text into the same space, so you can search for "dog" and get back images most likely to contain a dog? It looks like Vis… X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com Kinda mindblown that this is even possible. This is so far outside of my current thinking that i didn’t even think of an elegant way to implement semantic search accross images and text at the same time. I know it happens at Google, but I envision that as still text search accross tags and meta data about the image. Based on the number of responses CLIP is the thing that does this.

Prime concisely made sense of why htmx is so awesome compared to what has become modern reactive web dev in 2 minutes. I had never thought of it this way and it’s incredible. One thing I have comepletely missed out on with my use of htmx is setting the disabled state while the server is working, what a genius move!
