I am training for a marathon, and, as I increase both by distance and pace, I am always excited when I have a "Pareto run": a run along the Pareto frontier of me trying to maximize…

I watched the animated gif in the readme and let out a shout of delight when I saw the lightning strike, and on the second loop appreciated how it also lit up the surroundings. Lov…

I initially built https://plaintextsports.com because I was annoyed with how slowly other sports websites loaded, but since then I have come to appreciate it more for the density o…

Unsolicited feedback because I clicked: - Don't require picking a composition name before getting started - Whatever scroll settings you have broke swipe to go back, and then when …

My favorite line in my .gitconfig is an alias that prints out the commit history as a tidy graph. (The default `git log --graph` uses 6 whole lines per commit!) [alias] lg = log --…

For sports, ESPN does have http://www.espn.com/nba/lite/scoreboard , but most of the links go back to the normal website. It may have been been more robust in the past, but I don't…

A personal gripe with progressive web apps: they cache the website!! A lot of people have requested that I make a progressive web app for https://plaintextsports.com . I've looked …

I wish there were an option to export a video like the example on the homepage (with some ability to control the camera path). I'd love to be able to use it to make a promotional v…

The intention is to put the schedules for everything on this page: https://plaintextsports.com/premier-league/2022-2023/clubs/l... The challenge is that these pages are really labo…

For anyone using a Mac, the basic cursor movement commands available in readline and emacs—C-f, C-b, C-a, C-e, C-n, C-p—are also available in virtually any text input in any progra…

Alright, my bike-related tally over ~6 years in SF: - 2 stolen bike seats (one by 4th and King, one in the Mission) - 1 entire bike stolen (left out in the Castro overnight) - 1 re…

The posts table also has a foreign key to the tenants table specified with ON DELETE CASCADE, so all the tenant's posts will be deleted. (I don't know if Postgres makes any effort …

This release includes a feature I added [1] to support partial foreign key updates in referential integrity triggers! This is useful for schemas that use a denormalized tenant id a…

Shameless self-promotion: the homepage of plaintextsports.com is 5.2kb today [1], an in-progress WNBA game (4th quarter) is 11.2kb [2], and an extra inning MLB game is 8.8kb [3]. I…

I had never heard of GROUP BY CUBE either! It looks like it's part of a family of special GROUP BY operators—GROUPING SETS, CUBE, and ROLLUP—that basically issue the same query mul…

The most common constraint is whether the DB as a service offerings support a given extension, since they don't support installing custom ones. Naturally choosing to support an ext…
