Neat! Seeing this I'm considering making a similar project that takes a search and drops the preview pictures. No post-video-watching suggest + no 1 minute video shorts + no clickbaity preview pictures + setting a watch timer or someth

Personally, I tried pgtyped in a greenfield project but ended up switching to Slonik. Both are brilliant packages-- if you ever peak at the source of pgtyped it basically parses SQL on its own from what I could understand. The issues I had

This is nice! Quiver was my previous go-to, but it's all but abandonware in 2021.

I was curious so I tried it in postgres 13. Postgres, at least, uses the index to form a bitmap and scans that when aggregating in the first case (10% rows in the bitmap) and not in a second case WHERE "createdAt" BETWEEN '19

Sweet! An MMORPG element would be the bees knees here. Years ago there was a similar (though-MMORPG) game called Diaspora from a small studio[1]. I still remember waking up at all hours of the night to play inconspicuously (without tying up

I could be wrong but didn’t phoenix just switch to webpack from some other package manager? I guess that was 3ish years ago so a lifetime more or less in JS.

I think SQS was the first AWS offering. In that context “simple” means simple compared to other offerings of the 2000s/rolling it out yourself. I agree it’s a little convoluted for newcomers in 2021 although probably unintentional.

The bug, which used a single & in an if statement instead of a double && reminds me of this one from years ago -- https://lwn.net/Articles/57135/ In that case it was a single = versus a double == but

This is useful! Every so often Docker acts up or a Youtube video hidden in a tab somewhere or some silly mistake opens tons of Postgres connections on my M1. Previously the only cue was hitting the critically low power (10%?) at 6 hours ins

Good writeup! It's an interesting gotcha because Postgres and SQLite docs expressly disclaim that their sequences/AUTOINCREMENT are gapless but experienced and talented programmers still use them as such. Is the type of thing that

Thanks, what about getting historical values from the API? It’d be very nice to get more historical data from the fianancial statements

Hey, this looks pretty neat. You even have some financials data. I see that all the financials data is in terms of “growth,” is there any chance you could expose the raw numbers? Also, cash flow? Emphasis on free cash flow.

Does intent not matter? Pasting code for explanatory reasons and citing the source seems different than silently incorporating it directly into a commercial work product.

I can speak for myself— venv is good enough for most things and conda works for everything else (pandas/numpy/tensorflow on Mac m1). For production code I’m more worried about minimizing surprises then elegance which means it’s re

Hmm, I dug further. The story probably comes from Plutarch (Lives), "[Crassus] would buy houses that were afire, and houses which adjoined those that were afire, and these their owners would let go at a trifling price owing to their f

I think wikipedia got the details wrong there. Crassus didn't offer to buy the burning buildings, he offered to put fires out. At least, that's how I understood it years ago and that's what Wiki's own source shows-- htt

WU incurred $41.3 million in "non-credit related losses," which includes fraud in 2020[1] which is only maybe 1% of their revenue. It had another ~$40 million in expected credit losses (primarily from agents), so I think ~2% of th

If you drop some presumptions about the players you can go even faster-- Player 1: Roll a 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 or 12. Don't purchase, so it goes to auction. In auction player 2 buys for 100% of their cash. Player 2: Rolls a 4, lands on in

The advertisement text is-- "If you're seeing bitcoin on the [London] Underground, it's time to buy." Which begs the question, when is the time to sell? When you stop seeing it on the Underground (now?).

At its core, a wallet is just a collection of private keys. So yes, these are easy to extract and, in the original client, there is a simple command to do just that. Or, as mentioned, you can access the BerkleyDB wallet.dat file directly. T

What's the issue? Just on Windows? Mac OS X with 13.2 has no issue for me with the 1.1gigabyte 20million record csv just imported last week, or some bigger ones I did a few months back.
