Nice one!

I'm on a similar stack: http4k + Jdbi, nicely glued up :)

No coroutines so cute little stacktraces

This is the killer combo. Working on something now that uses pgmq + Elixir for DAG workflows: https://github.com/agoodway/pgflow

I prefer bit more type-safety. JVM/Kotlin/Jdbi + PG for me.

No more ORMs, not even query builders, ... When it comes to Postgres I want to write the sql myself! There is so much value.

Supabase helps when building a webapp. But Postgres is the powerhouse.

I get the feeling that Oracle is abandonning MySQL.

Let's all hope Ali will pick it up :)

I'm fully invested on Postgres though.

Super cool project.

I expect a lot of C code may be quite mechanically translated to Zig (by help of LLMs). Unlike C->Rust or C->C++, where there's more of a paradigm shift.

You got it backwards, it would be more beneficial in areas with few hours of sun for darker skin folks, since they do not absorb as much Vitamin D as fair skin folk do.

absorb or create?

i understand it as: absorbing is in the intestine, generating D happens in the skin when exposed to the sun

Gentoo forced me to switch to Apple.

jk, I wanted to install Ableton and now it's been 15 years.

Interesting! That might be the file I was looking for.

I see 260 lines (some of which are whitespace). I wonder if that's all of the default keybindings, or if there are more hiding somewhere.

they are the global. you can also see them from Settings (the UI to it)

Related but not:

I'm a lifelong Mac user who now has a KDE device courtesy of SteamOS. What are the best options for porting Mac default keybindings over to KDE?

I'm using SteamOS and Nix/Home Manager, so I have a preference for something that I can easily use in that environment (e.g. nothing that needs me to unlock the system partition or run as another user).

I tried asking Gemini to find where KDE stores its default keybindings, and came up short.

cies · 14 days ago
There's a folder where KDE stores your user's settings. Shortcuts are in their own file...

For me it's `/home/$USER_NAME/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc`

Yeah, I had Claude spend a lot of time optimizing a JS bundling config (as a quite senior frontend) and it started some things that looked insanely promising, which a newer FE dev would be thrilled about.

I later realized it sped up the metric I'd asked about (build time) at the cost of all users downloading like 100x the amount of JS.

This is what LLMs are good at, generate what "look[s] insanely promising" to us humans
