When I was still much more skeptical of AI, I asked ChatGPT to write me a proof of the Goldbach Conjecture. Of course it didn't, but it gave me a several-screens-long research prog…

I think yes. You're saying that the invoice is generated from other data in separate tables, and it should be immutable even if that data changes. So today you are copying everythi…

In the Postgres version, you can use a rangetype or multirangetype over any base type (integers, inets, frammishes, etc). This is a generalization of SQL:2011, where PERIODs have t…

For application time, everything lives in one table (although you could partition it). The biggest performance hit, I suspect, will come from GiST indexes instead of B-Trees. Some …

Hey I worked on this! Thank you to everyone here saying they are excited about it. I often hear doubts that anyone wants this. Perhaps that's why vendors have been so slow to add i…

Yes, I su to the user. Typically I have it run a tmux session for each "project". That makes it easy to get more windows without su'ing over and over. Also its tmux sessions all ge…

I know there are VM solutions, but I've been happy with a separate OS user (named `claude`). He has similar dotfiles to mine, but no secrets. My own home directory is 0700. He has …

Does this scheme give a way to progressively load slices of an array? What I want is something like this: ["foo", "bar", "$1"] And then we can consume this by resolving the Promise…

I've seen this a lot when someone wants to add "workflow automation" or "scripting" to their app. The most success I'd had is embedding either Lua or Javascript (preferably Lua) wi…

I've used [mmdc]( https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli ) to generate mermaid images from a Makefile. It looks like it is implemented with puppeteer, so perhaps it doesn't quit…

SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote I'm a full-stack developer with 20+ years experience. My specialties are deep Postgres consulting, web development in Rails/Django, and devops…

Nero isn't from the the late Roman Empire either.

Great article! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I noticed a couple details that seem wrong: - You are passing `context` to `log_then_get` and `get`, but you n…

How did JFrog know this github token was so powerful, compared to all the other ones I'm sure their scanner detects? What caused a human to get involved?

If you add contact info to your profile, I will reach out. Or feel free to send me a note.

Calagator has been dead for years, and I don't understand why. Way before the pandemic: agreed. Most of what I see there now is business networking or people selling something. But…

Indeed, if you read The Goal or The Phoenix Project , they call this "slack". There is a whole theory about why slack matters.

Oh this is very helpful! When I read Turing's paper some years ago, this really confused me. The best sense I could make was that "circle-free" means "halts". But in popular explan…

> Entire C++ servers with hundreds of lines of code can be built from scratch in a minute or two tops. Hundreds, huh? Is this a typo? It makes me wonder if the whole comment is fac…

I just finished reading Kernighan & Pike's The Unix Programming Environment this weekend, and it has a lot of awk. I read it more as a history book (it was published 40 years ago!)…
