RAG is all you need*. This is a pretty DIY setup, but I use a private instance of Dify for this. I have a private Git repository where I commit my "knowledge", a Git hook syncs the changes with the Dify knowledge API, and then I u

I don't know why, but this program had difficulty opening what was clearly a correct SQLite3 database file (created with TypeORM) on Ubuntu 22.04. "Reason: Invalid file format". I ended up using Beekeeper Studio instead, whic

I used remoteStorage.js for a while for an app, but the JS SDK was too limited. I'm surprised to see the last commit was just last week. Is it still maintained? I never understood why it barely took off, the benefits of local-first are

Does this also manage the infrastructure side of ETL? Usually some parts in a complex ETL process take a lot more processing power, so are run on different machines. From a quick glance at this, it seems like a WYSIWYG ETL tool for running

Never thought about abbreviating verbally and I never heard anyone doing so, but maybe that's because in Dutch (much like in German) we're used to longer words :D

I already love what I'm doing for a living as a CTO for a small start-up, and probably wouldn't quit, but if money absolutely wasn't an object and my current mission were fullfilled, then I'd probably spend more hours on

I wonder if the study segmented the participants according to vaccination status (before/after infection, or none at all)?

Pitching in as yet another dev who also thought of implementing this :) There were just too many constraints for it to be feasible as a web app in our case. Examples of some of those constraints that make it difficult: * different table siz

It's nice to see more and more open-source E2E-encrypted note taking apps. A couple years ago I thought no one really cared about this, and now they seem to be popping up everywhere. This one particularly reminds me of Standard Notes.

You'd think one could think of simpler & more intuitive naming of CSS properties for layouts. I've used CSS for many years, but somehow I still have to look up basic property names & values from time to time. I don't

Is it really though? I feel like it's mostly non-technical people who think this, because back when I was a CS student, AI was just a big field of study that included many types of problem solving, from simple to complex, including all

I think real-world examples are very dangerous to provide here, because they can easily derail the conversation into arguing about the validity of those examples, because if they are currently unconventional ideas, someone with orthodox pri

I think that could be a good argument for a BFF, not necessarily for a SSR app. IMO the only times it makes sense to pre-render your app is when initial loading time and/or SEO are of utmost importance.

This is not immediately clear to me from the docs alone, but does this sync (in real-time) with a backend and support multi-user (with auth)? Since it stores the data in SQLite, it would be nice to integrate e.g. ElectricSQL to sync with a

I'm interested in something like this, except I would love to see it as open-source and the ability to self-host (as a simple Docker container to deploy to fly.io , or my Synology NAS, or whatever), but at the same time I fully underst

It's not just a North American thing. Any entrepreneurial journey can feel very sisyphean, and if you worked hard on something for years, probably consciously making many sacrifices along the way, and then finally get rewarded for it,

Yep, GPT is nice for speeding up the process. I've gotten in the habit of actually speaking out loud the desired flow of events in a system and transcribing it, and then turning that text into sequence diagrams with GPT4.

Huh, strange, is this specific to Android? Because my DND mode stays DND throughout updates, except for the contacts and apps I've already marked as the exceptions. I don't think I've ever had the problem of unwanted notifica

I use PlantUML a lot, for communicating complex technical designs for juniors to implement for example, or simply for documentation. It's nice to have your diagrams as readable code which you can check in with the rest of your git repo

It's funny how something so simple & essential like a missing scrollbar can be an instant deal-breaker.

Wow, this is awesome! I've been "waiting" for a project like this for years - having to roll out my own syncing solution for my local-first app until now. I have yet to dive deeper in the docs and examples, but does anyone kn

React has a lot of opinionated, "magical" boilerplate. useThis, useThat, ... In my experience, Svelte did a much better job and is closer to vanilla html/js, but for some reason it seems to fail to gain significant traction.

I don't understand the appeal of these tools. I've tried it, but it's a complete cognitive overload, having to learn some proprietary UI to do simple things. I don't understand why adding for-loops by pointing, clicking

Very nice! Awesome tech stack too; a welcome change from all the React/Next.js projects these days.

This is interesting. I have an enterprise customer who's looking for exactly this. Any plans to support DB2?

SQL is easy, the problem is that some enterprise database schemas have gotten incredibly complex over time. I think LLMs might help the maintainers navigate such a complex landscape. Especially if comments are added to each table with clari

It's probably too new for anyone to have integrated this into text-generation-webui / Gradio? I've been looking for a large context LLM (self-hosted or not) for a project, and as a European I unfortunately don't have acc

It's just reality. Both Buddhists and stoics say it's better to deal with it as it is, rather than putting your head in the sand. Buddhists celebrate and actively cultivate joy (pīti, a stimulating and joyful mental factor that yo
