   Would you still have a viable product if GitHub decides to performance-optimize their action runners? I get that performance is important, and if MS puts their weight behind it I can see them fixing their stuff and basically removing the ma

   I quite like the dbcli.com family of TUI DBMS tools. I personally use pgcli a lot.

   That’s assuming people play more when the download is faster. And to answer your question: for everybody involved it’s better yes.

   I think the more accurate alternative is that reality is messy and you can’t always put things in categories and models.

   Ooof, that’s quite serious. Would be nice if there was a list of self-help/psychology books that are properly based on proper science.

    I used to also think lightly of bandwidth and cpu but then I read a few things that Alex Russel wrote and now I’m of the opinion that every kb matters. Lots of people worldwide have shitty networks and shitty phones. If a website is a bit h

    If I read it correctly: maybe. The database underneath is still SQLite and has SQLite data types. If your db schema, app code and the db library you use allow you to switch on the fly, then yes. But those are big ifs.

    Not an expert, but as both schema changes and data changes are queries you can probably do Streaming Replication (1) 1: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication

    I think Valve’s Steam Deck does this too, quite successfully.

    Sounds like a shitty situation, I’m sorry that it’s so hard for you. If you suspect ADHD: get tested. If you have it you can start applying ADHD-specific strategies, one of which is medication. I don’t have any tips for you but I do want to

    There are top performers that have ADHD, there are also people with addiction problems without ADHD. But research tells us ADHD correlates with low academic achievement and addiction.

    I think being humble is effective and leaving ego at the door works in a lot of situations, including work.

    That the research here was mostly non-longitudinal really undermines how useful the results are. Even though our society has this data, it’s just in Big Social’s data vault. Would be nice if we could enforce them to let scienctists use this

    (I don’t use databases that often) I really like pgcli (1) over psql. pgcli has really nice autocompletion and just looks good. https://www.pgcli.com/

    Can you elaborate on why you think survivorship bias doesn’t apply here? If you fall off a ship in the middle of the ocean you might survive and those survivors may have had strategies but we just don’t know if the people that died did not

    Yeah I wasn’t expressing myself clearly, let me try again. HTMX writes quite a bit of the logic for us. We don’t need to test that logic because we can assume that it’s been tested. We only need to test the remaining logic, of which there i

    After browsing the book: they do touch upon this and their take is that these are 2 different things with different requirements and should be built relatively separately: https://hypermedia.systems/book/json-data-apis&
