It is written as a novel that teaches PostgreSQL by exploring the dataset of the Cassini orbiter around Enceladus, Saturn's moon. Highly recommended and fun read.
We're building an IoT Cloud Platform, Fostrom[1] where we're using Javy to power our Actions infrastructure. But instead of compiling each Action's JS code to a Javy WASM module, I figured out a simpler way by creating a single WASM module with our wrapper code (which contains some further isolation and helpful functions), and we provide the user code as an input while executing the single pre-compiled WASM module.
A developer-focused IoT Cloud Platform. The idea stems from pain points experienced while automating an indoor farm a few years ago where I had to spend way too much time building the data collection and analysis infrastructure instead of focusing on the actual automation.
Devices connect via secure MQTT, HTTP, or WebSockets and send structured, typed data. Each device gets its own sequential mailbox for messages. You can trigger webhooks or broadcast messages to other devices based on incoming data, powered by programmable actions.
Just deployed to production. Currently working on Device SDKs (coming very soon) and time-series analytics. Check out the platform, we're in technical preview now. Happy to answer questions and appreciate any feedback.
It was once possible I think, but it seems that's impossible on new versions of macOS. Spaces are unusable because of that as a programmer. I'd love to have a terminal in one space and browser in the other, but the delay in switching between both is very noticeable and considering how many times I'd do that it'd probably take minutes off my day.
That being said, if you do decide to use spaces, I want to point out a MacOS setup that would help you to keep apps on different spaces and have an experience (slightly) closer to i3wm and other window managers.
First, you should create 10 spaces. Then go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control -> Expand the Mission Control dropdown. You'll see options to set keyboard shortcuts for each workspace there. I've set it to Option+{1-9, 0 for 10}.
Then just open some of the permanent apps you use, and right click on their Dock icon -> Options -> Assign to this desktop. I keep the browser in workspace 1, and messaging app in workspace 10.
I know this isn't the best solution, but behind crazy-hidden settings, it is possible to get a pretty decent solution for window management on macOS. Ohh also, I use Amethyst sometimes, for i3wm-like window layouts, and it allows you to set shortcuts to move apps from one workspace.
Why oh why won't Apple let you turn this off? It annoys if not nauseates so many people.
This is is just one example, but indicative of their mindset, why I dislike Apple, and use linux whenever I can. It's such a calming joy to switch instantly between desktops without the rushing-train effect.
This makes the train effect go away, but there is still another very slight fade-away effect when switching desktops, albeit much less annoying.
After installing this, I rarely see any cookie popups.

It helped me a lot!
In Fostrom, devices connect via our SDKs or standard protocols such as MQTT and HTTP, and send and receive structured, typed data, through pre-defined Packet Schemas. Each device gets its own sequential mailbox for messages. You can trigger webhooks or broadcast messages to other devices based on incoming data, powered by programmable actions (written in JS).
We entered Technical Preview recently. Since then, we've been working on:
- Major upgrades to Actions: making it easier to write action code, along with testing before deploying, and more docs on how to write good actions. Coming this week.
- We're in the process of releasing Device SDKs in multiple languages, including JS, Python, and Elixir soon. The SDKs are powered by an underlying lightweight Device Agent written in Rust.
- A new data explorer to view and analyze your fleet's datapoints, which will be available in a few weeks.
