Joining the split keyboards club: a Moonlander story | Carlos Becker This post will describe my experience with a couple of firsts: carlosbecker.com [1] I switched from a 60% vortex pok3r to a 40% corne June, 2021. I can relate to a lot of what Carlos talks about here. I think going from 60%-40% made my journey harder than it needed to be. There’s no going back now, but it took me a really long time to be able to hit all of the numbers and symbols, just figuring out how to do the layout was hard there’s not much space. I didn’t touch type. I never really used my pinkies, except maybe for ESC, Shift, CTRL, Backspace et al. I can relate to this, my typing habits were terrible. Shortly before going split ortho I worked on my speed with lots, and lots of practice on keybr and monkeytype. I took my speed from 35wpm to 80wpm with a few months of steady practice. This is one of the best things I did for myself. Once I got split it dropped down to single digits and slowly rose back up to 80, just barely breaking my PB on monkeytype. I still feel like I still can’t type at my previous max speed — mostly because I wasn’t used to use my pinky and used the “wrong finger” for a lot of...
My workflow, part 1 | Carlos Becker I keep getting asked how my setup works, how I use tmux and nvim over ssh… all that good stuff. carlosbecker.com [1] Carlos has a pretty sick setup here, I can relate to mostly, cept the macos part. My main critique is that I don’t think he gave window managers much chance on linux, and they just don’t work on MacOS/Windows. Most of the time I have a single, maximized window. I can relate to this. I should really make a full post about my experience with tiling window managers. TLDR, I came for tiling and I stayed for the workspaces. Multiple Displays An exception here could be streaming: having multiple displays can help preventing doxing yourself if you only share the screen of one of them. I only did stream like 3 times and that’s what I did, but I’m sure experienced streamers have better workflows (with or without multiple displays). Accurate, my home machine uses one monitor, and for work I use one monitor+laptop. I pair, screenshare, and present quite a bit at work, and its good to have one screen for sharing, and one for seeing things like the app you are sharing from (chat, cams, etc) References: [1]: https://carlosbecker.com/p...
Using Netlify Analytics to Build a List of Popular Posts Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web. blog.jim-nielsen.com [1] This is a sick feature of Jim’s blog, I am really inspired by this. I am not sure how to do it for my own. I honestly think the easiest non locked in way would be to just use google search console results. It’s definitely a different way to think about it, but most of my traffic is coming from google search, so it would be a pretty good ballpark estimate.

Kubernetes · kubernetes.io [1] What is the difference between health, liveness, readiness, and startup? This article does a great job at a full writeup description of how it works in kubernetes, here is my TLDR. - health 200 OK - I’m still responding to requests - health ERR - something happened and I cant respond to requests - liveness 200 OK - I’m ready for more work - liveness ERR - I’m still responding to requests, and i’m already working send requests to another pod, or scale up Z-pages # [2] These probes are commonly deployed at /healthz and /livez endpoints.

[1] This is the best tree I have ever built in minecraft. It took at least 4 stacks of logs and leaves despite what it looks like. It is placed where Welscraft’s island in the hermitcraft season 10 seed, but on our own server we call lonecraft. We started this server a few weeks after hermitcraft season 10 started, and play on it a few times per week. It has a pretty successful day one iron farm that took us way more than one day to complete, and the farm behind this is our first ever villager driven farm. Somehow potatoes got cross contaminated and now its pumping out potatoes and some bread, but no carrots or beat roots.

GitHub - jesseduffield/lazydocker: The lazier way to manage everything docker The lazier way to manage everything docker. Contribute to jesseduffield/lazydocker development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and it’s fantastic. It’s reminds me of lazygit, it gives a nice quick interface into the things I need and it just works. Yes I can git [2] status to see what changed, then diff the files, then commit hunks, but lazygit can do that in just a few keystrokes. lazydocker does this for docker. It gives me a nice view into whats running, what’s eating up disk space, and the networks I have. And if I see I have a bunch of exited containers, there is a bulk command righ there to clean them up. tldr docker ps on steroids [3] References: [1]: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker [2]: /glossary/git/ [3]: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker/blob/master/docs/resources/demo3.gif?raw=true
- Go is feeling more and more like something I could throw in my tool belt as a python dev. I really like that it’s garbage collected and has great error management. I am just not sure how to work it in without it being the main thing. The thing that is so cool is the ability to ship tiny pre-compiled binaries that just work, and the raw speed. these binaries just get up and working without any warm up. writing any cli in python I’m going to be using something like typer, and it takes half a second just to warm up, so even hello world cannot be faster than half a second.
- Great example from Anthony showing how easy it is to practice building database orm models and playing with them in a repl. This is good practice even if you are in a big code base to be able to test and learn in a simplified code base that does not have a mountain of other code around atuh, permissions, security, and other complex things that come into real production code bases that might make it hard to focus on what you are trying to do. Note Anthony uses backref here, thats legacy, use back_populates on both parent and child.
External Link stackoverflow.com [1] Today I came across some sqlalchemy models that created some relationships, some used backref some used back_populates. I was stumped why, I had never came accross backref before and I felt skill issues sinking in. backref is considered legacy # [2] https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/backref.html As stated in the sqlalchemy docs, backref is a legacy feature. Its shorthand to creating relationships between parent and child, but only adding it to the parent. While this is simpler it introduces some invisible magic.

I picked this up from MPJ of fun fun function, who took over Dev Tips. In this episide Jim uses Earle and they make fun of him. If it’s good enough for Jim, I am done with my 50/50 and I’m going all in on Earle.

- This really makes me want to try Dolphin Mixtral with ollama now. It looks very impressive from this video. The ability to keep adding features before becoming confused is though with a lot of these llms. Being chat based, this is not a co pilot replacement. I was really hoping for an in line co pilot like tool that I can run locally. I have not used co pilot yet, but I have had great luck with codeium.
- Great take on low code. I have definitely felt the pressure of being presented low code options, “look it does almost everything you need, and you can do it without code.” Granted there are tons of great low code environments that serve their markets well (things like zapier). As pointed out here when they fall short rather than being hard, it goes to nearly impossible. As Theo points out here many applications follow an 80/20 rule. 80% of the app is really easy to put together, and takes about 20% of the time, probably less. What no code does is it takes that 80% that is already easy, makes it even easier ( pitches it as faster whether or not that is true ), and makes the last 20% of the project impossibly hard to create and maintain, so you just should have picked a tool that had the capability of doing the whole thing from the start anyways.

Read a Range of Data - LIMIT and OFFSET - SQLModel SQLModel, SQL databases in Python, designed for simplicity, compatibility, and robustness. sqlmodel.tiangolo.com [1] Today I was running some sqlmodel queries through the sqlalchemy orm. Admittedly I’ve not done enough orm queries before, and I’ve done quite a bit of raw sql. I was trying to get objects from two separate models that had relationships setup. session.query(User, Images).where(User.id == 3).all() It is incredibly slow, and gives me the following warning. SELECT statement has a cartesian product between FROM element(s) What I learned from the SQLModel docs is that you should give it a join to correct this and go much faster. session.query(User, Images).join(Images).where(User.id == 3).all() References: [1]: https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/tutorial/limit-and-offset/

Search Use the search APIs to look up and retrieve objects in your Stripe data. Using search is a faster alternative to paginating through all resources. stripe.com [1] Stripe has it’s own query language for querying data. I’m just getting into using it and it seems pretty good so far. I needed to lookup the price for products. I was able to find prices for my product using the python api as shown below. stripe.Price.search(query="active: 'true' and product: 'prod_P8SfwtxJ45cWE2'") References: [1]: https://stripe.com/docs/search#search-query-language
