Yeah it’s strange that the project does not mention using redis, or even SQLite with a vector DB extension.

Just curious, why do you want to migrate from mongo (document database server) to sqlite (relational database library)? That migration would be making two changes: document-based -> relational, and server -> library. Have you consider

To me a handle implies that the object is somewhat sturdy. It’s okay to have it bump against other things and to set it on the floor.

nit: the pure HTML example is not the same as the other examples. It would make a POST request to the server with the data using a form encoding instead of a JSON encoding. It's not a given that your server supports this encoding!

One challenge is that JSON is for data and HTML is for UI. When a client gets JSON it can transform the data to make it ready for the UI. With HTML, the client is locked into the UI chosen by the server. What if the client wants to render t

What I like about TUIs are that they are forced to be simple, and are forced to load all data at once. I don’t prefer interacting with an app in a terminal window, but I do prefer the kinds of apps that are built with these constraints in m

For people wanting to include URL references in things like books, what’s the right approach to take today? I’m genuinely asking. It seems like its hard to trust that any service will remaining running for decades

PDFs don’t always contain actual text. Sometimes they just contain instructions to draw the letters. For that reason, IMO rendering a PDF page as an image is a very reasonable way to extract information out of it. For the other formats you

How do you do server-side rendering without a framework? If you use static pages, how do you make sure that shared UI like navbars all update if you decide to make a change?

The article is about being fat. The primary tool to lose fat is diet, not exercise. Losing weight is all about removing things from your diet. It’s accessible to anyone if they are willing to tolerate a little hunger.
