I've been using ModernCSV for a while to handle readonly CSVs (mainly for sanity checking) and it's been fantastic. Version 2 looks great, it's a hard balance to add features and not become bloated so will be interesting to s

I have recently gone through mine when I finally changed to zsh after using Bash for the last 16 years (starting on Ubuntu and removed so many random commands I used. Now I barely need anything, as the tooling is really good and is going th

I honestly think it's because of shortage of CPU. If everyone switches over, they won't have enough hardware. Looking at the phoronixbenchmarks[0] it's a great uplift for the slight price increase. I'm sure once hardware

Snowflake is a data warehouse though. Completely different use case. If your data can be done via PG, highly recommend that over SF. Especially with this concept. Snowflake is great when you use a tool like dbt, their modern SQL approach an

It's a great feature on heroku for branches, it shares data between review apps. Quite nice.

What happens when the datacenter catches fire? (OVH in 2021). If you're running a site like this, it's fine to be down for a bit, people will forgive you as you restore from backup (looks like a very solid foundation the site has)

Are they banking on youtube videos being a google result, similar to the trash we see at the moment when you Google something and it has these scraped Stackoverflow answers?

I'm also super excited for the points you raised, looks like some great features being released, I really like that JSON is becoming a first class citizen. I'm also looking forward to the \copy improvements, especially around load

Thinking that gitlab is any more secure than Microsoft when the NSA comes knocking isn't comforting. There is no way to know. But really, is your code and access that much of a secret to the government, and if it is, do you really trus

My first internet, and my internet for up until my teenage years until ~2005 was 14.8kbps, we couldn't get faster than that for some reason. When we got 2Mbit I was AMAZED. The entire internet now actually semi-worked. Now in 2022 I ha

In Elixir, when performance is needed and it's appropriate, we can use Rustler [0], however it's a PITA to ask developers to install rust, and you need it on CI etc to build the binaries. A recent solution was to precompile these

I read something that they didn't compile with compiler optimisations, doing so would have fixed the water level.

Unreal isn't built for 2d, you can tell the games they were built for (Unreal Tournament, Fortnite, etc).

I really want to like Unity.. but they make it hard. There are a bunch of ways to do one thing, and those ways are probably deprecated. I really like their direction for DOTS, but their communication with their community is pretty much dead

Unreal works pretty well with git too, supports LFS as well. Pretty painless.

There is an issue that delays commands by 200ms, which isn't a massive issue for my usecase, but you might want to look into asdf-exec https://github.com/danhper/asdf-exec

direnv worked for me on both linux/mac. They just released a major new version (asdf-direnv), so might be worth giving that a shot and see if it works for you with asdf?

Internally where I work we use RFCs if we want to propose a new feature/addition, it helps bring others in to skim the doc to find out if there is anything they need to add. It's not too bad, I quite like this
