External Link stackoverflow.com This is how you fix the stupid corner section of a double scroll bar being white on a dark theme site. The question included an example image where you can see white squares everywhere there are horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

This is an interesting problem. I want to make a solution for this on htmx -patterns. I would make user specific routes with an rather than serving the whole page, serve a partial with s to fill in user specific data with a no cache on the cdn level.

So cool to see ROX build this over the course of a day.

External Link dotesports.com Damn this button had me stuck for way too long. It definitely looks like a button once I see it, but I don’t recall coming into contact with many buttons in the game, I tried to set it ablaze, pull it, fly it, nothing.

External Link help.socialbee.com YouTube makes finding rss feeds way too hard. Hats off to them for still supporting it, allowing you to find content outside the algorithm, and consuming content you asked for. But i had no idea you had to search the source code to get it.

External Link stackoverflow.com Another interesting option for slow count queries in sqlite. If you haven’t DELETEd any records, doing:

Optimizing SQLite for servers SQLite is often misconceived as a "toy database", only good for mobile applications and embedded systems because it's default configuration is optimized for embedded use cases, so most... Sylvain Kerkour · kerkour.com Very interesting article by Sylvain, suggested by Simon Willison. Definitely some things that I want to come back and try later on. Here is the TLDR of the whole post This is interesting, and something I need to consider. I definitely have an application with slow count queries. I am not sure how to make it better as its not a full so a count table doesn’t work, nor does counting by index. I might need to have a table of cached results, and if a write matches the counter increase it, or update all counters on write. COUNT queries are slow SQLite doesn’t keep statistics about its indexes, unlike PostgreSQL, so COUNT queries are slow, even when using a WHERE clause on an indexed field: SQLite has to scan for all the matching records. One solution is to use a trigger on INSERT and DELETE that updates a running count in a separate table then query that separate table to find the latest count.

Inspiring story transitioning into tech from nursing. I also came to tech through a set of circumstances that made it difficult for me to excel at my current job. Looking back it is something that I was always interested in and I was just unsure how to get in, I am so glad that I figured it out, it has been such a great benefit to my family. I really enjoyed listening to trshpuppy’s journey in through building projects, and choosing tech not based on what she wanted to learn, but what fit the project the best.

Some Git poll results Some Git poll results Julia Evans · jvns.ca great poll of git questions poll: did you know that in a git merge conflict, the order of the code is different when you do a merge/rebase? merge: <<<<<<< HEAD YOUR CODE OTHER BRANCH’S CODE c694cf8aabe rebase: «««< HEAD OTHER BRANCH’S CODE YOUR CODE d945752 (your commit message) This one explains a lot. I think I knew this, I might have seen it somewhere, but I have definitely noticed it go both ways and confuse the crap out of me. Feels very similar to how and flip flops.

External Link sealed-secrets.netlify.app kubeseal is a pretty simple to get started with way to manage secrets such that they can be stored in a git repo and be picked up by your continuous delivery service. Sealed Secrets provides declarative Kubernetes Secret Management in a secure way. Since the Sealed Secrets are encrypted, they can be safely stored in a code repository. This enables an easy to implement GitOps flow that is very popular among the OSS community.

Great episode covering a seemingly simple topic. What I really benefitted from was hearing all the different use cases, from logging, debugging, to a/b testing, caching, and auth. I hadn’t even thought of it being applied to a router. I thought of it being applied for an entire application. This seems very useful for things like an admin router, all routes would need to have the admin role to get in.

![[None]] I’ve been using these decorators to modify the behavior of specific routes. It will do things like 404 admin only routes in a way that looks just like fastapi ’s default, or only allow certain roles into the route, or redirect unauthenticated users to login. After listening to yesterday’s syntaxfm I’m now really thinking about middleware and the benefits it might have. middleware would make it easy to apply things like admin to an entire admin router, so you wont forget it on any one admin route. It will look cleaner as the admin checker is only applied once per router, not once per route.

Simon Willison (@simonw) on X TIL Google Chrome has a --headless option you can use to take a screenshot from the CLI that's built into the default installation X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com Huh, so this is just built right into the chrome cli.

![[None]] jinja’s in fastapi does not account for https by default, there is probably a better way, but this is a way that allows me to configure when I use http vs https.

@cassidoo) on X — I MADE AN APP ✨" loading="lazy"> Cassidy ( @cassidoo) on X I MADE AN APP ✨ X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com Damn are one time paid and have it apps making a comeback? Seems like the perfect thing to have someone else automate and not pay a subscription for. Genius Idea Cassidy!! Now what do you call this, its not software as a service, is this just sofware?

Joining the split keyboards club: a Moonlander story | Carlos Becker This post will describe my experience with a couple of firsts: carlosbecker.com I switched from a 60% vortex pok3r to a 40% corne June, 2021. I can relate to a lot of what Carlos talks about here. I think going from 60%-40% made my journey harder than it needed to be. There’s no going back now, but it took me a really long time to be able to hit all of the numbers and symbols, just figuring out how to do the layout was hard there’s not much space. I didn’t touch type. I never really used my pinkies, except maybe for ESC, Shift, CTRL, Backspace et al. I can relate to this, my typing habits were terrible. Shortly before going split ortho I worked on my speed with lots, and lots of practice on keybr and monkeytype. I took my speed from 35wpm to 80wpm with a few months of steady practice. This is one of the best things I did for myself. Once I got split it dropped down to single digits and slowly rose back up to 80, just barely breaking my PB on monkeytype. I still feel like I still can’t type at my previous max speed — mostly because I wasn’t used to use my pinky and used the “wrong finger” for a lot of keys, but, ne…

My workflow, part 1 | Carlos Becker I keep getting asked how my setup works, how I use tmux and nvim over ssh… all that good stuff. carlosbecker.com Carlos has a pretty sick setup here, I can relate to mostly, cept the macos part. My main critique is that I don’t think he gave window managers much chance on linux, and they just don’t work on MacOS/Windows. Most of the time I have a single, maximized window. I can relate to this. I should really make a full post about my experience with tiling window managers. TLDR, I came for tiling and I stayed for the workspaces. Multiple Displays An exception here could be streaming: having multiple displays can help preventing doxing yourself if you only share the screen of one of them. I only did stream like 3 times and that’s what I did, but I’m sure experienced streamers have better workflows (with or without multiple displays). Accurate, my home machine uses one monitor, and for work I use one monitor+laptop. I pair, screenshare, and present quite a bit at work, and its good to have one screen for sharing, and one for seeing things like the app you are sharing from (chat, cams, etc)

Using Netlify Analytics to Build a List of Popular Posts The other day, the wind blew and I decided to realign the design of my blog just a bit. One of the things I wanted to change was the content on my home page… blog.jim-nielsen.com This is a sick feature of Jim’s blog, I am really inspired by this. I am not sure how to do it for my own. I honestly think the easiest non locked in way would be to just use google search console results. It’s definitely a different way to think about it, but most of my traffic is coming from google search, so it would be a pretty good ballpark estimate.

605: Jim Nielsen on Subversive URLs, Blogging + AI, and Design Engineers Jim Nielsen joins us to about URLs and linking as the new subversive way to maintain the web, paying for news in Canada, should content creators be worried about AI, the case for design engineers, … ShopTalk · shoptalkshow.com An absolute fantastic episode about blogging, thinking about a web1.0 kind of world today, and what it means moving forward. Web 1.0 is robust, you own your own destiny, you own your data, you can do what you want. There is no platform to tell you what you can and cannot do.
