Hi author here. If you end up with an invalid lock file, it doesn't silently fail and move on with a generated lock file. The `uv lock` command fails with a helpful message and then errexit from the shell script kicks in. The reason I

In theory this sounds good but in practice I'm not convinced there's a lot of value in the extension aspect. My desktop is 11 years old. It's an i5 3.2ghz quad core, 16 GB of memory, SSD machine that I built from individual p

I had an experience the other day with ChatGPT and some Python code. I wanted to modify Gunicorn's logger class so I can filter out specific URL paths. Given it's a hot code path (running on every request) I told it I made 3 solut

How has the "pay what you want" model worked out if you don't mind me asking? It's something I've thought about in the past for selling courses.

It's still ok even without systemd. Technically systemd is disabled by default, you have to turn it on with systemd=true in /etc/wsl.conf. I can't find a definitive source with an open ticket but if you Google around for

The delay is related to starting WSL 2, not starting a systemd service btw. Maybe it's specific to Windows 10 Pro, who knows. I'm using the latest WSL 2 from the MS app store. I just know when I installed Docker directly into WSL

Yep but using 2 DBs within the same PG instance won't improve performance since it's using the same disk. Managing multiple DB instances across multiple hosts requires a lot more effort, configuration and doubles your hosting cost

by nickjj 1y ago
That is a good example, but don't forget your DB will also be doing many other things besides managing jobs. In the Rails world of using the DB for everything you have your primary DB, solid queue, solid cache and solid cable. If you l

It's interesting because when I read "For $595, you get what nobody else can give you for twice the price" all my brain does is parse that sentence as they are charging double what they should because there's no competit

I'm already using Docker for many other things. Launching an ephemeral versioned Debian, Ubuntu or Arch container that's officially supported is a 1 second operation. I never used Incus before to know if it has other benefits but

I did notice a very bad side effect. Yesterday I only pasted 1 line. When you paste in multiple lines using Neovim's normal paste key (p), it adds a Windows line ending to each line which you can see as ^M. This unfortunately makes pas

I think this also ties into using tools that help faciliate this workflow. Being able to jump to a definition of library code lets you really quickly move from your code to some function you're trying to figure out. With code editor su

That could be the case but Gumroad knows the requirements to become verified. Gumroad chose to gather the minimum amount of info and requested more with dark pattern forms to maximize collecting personal information without providing value.

I know nothing about Gumroad's story or the CEO or any drama around it but I will say this. I had someone once give me an affiliate link for Gumroad and I got credited a sale. Gumroad wouldn't let me accept payment for it in a way
