sqlite-jiff I linked to the brand new Jiff datetime library yesterday. Alex Garcia has already used it for an experimental SQLite extension providing a timezone-aware jiff_duration() function - a useful new … Simon Willison’s Weblog Ā· simonwillison.net [1] Sqlite is getting rust extensions now, and datetimes make it totally worth if if they work well and and fast, two things that don’t always go together in datetime libraries Note This post is a thought [2].

There’s a TUI for that with Nick Janetakis (Changelog & Friends #53) Nick Janetakis is back and this time we're talking about TUIs (text-based user interfaces) — some we've tried and some we plan to try. All are collected from Justin Garrison's Awesome TUIs repo o... Changelog Ā· changelog.com [1] 50 minutes into this episode they start a discussion on seo, and naming posts. They give Jerod the task of googling for tmux and see how high up the ranking they find Nick, expecting a number one post, and he cant even get to Nick. The problem? Jerod is such a beginner he doesn’t even know what to search, he starts with a long query about getting started with tmux, but all of Nick’s videos are why you should use advanced features of tmux, but Jerod has yet to discover that these exist. As experts we often come up wtih a post title for the exact thing that we are trying to teach someone how to do, but yet, they haven’t discussed that they need that feature yet, they just want the getting started guide, or tell me why I should start using tmux. Not why sessions are better than windows, and tabs suck all together. Definitely an eye opening conversation listening to two experts sit in...
External Link X (formerly Twitter) Ā· x.com [1] This is a wild keyboard test. This is exactly what I want to see from ticklemykeys.com. I want to make ergomechanical boards that you can use and abuse. I want you to not be afraid to take them with you or to eat a nutrigrain bar in the same room (cough 2015 mac). And If something does go out, I want users to be able to repair it themsleves, key caps, switches, batteries, and microcontrollers should be replacible parts they can get at a good cost from the shop if they have paid for a board.

all lt keys to hl Ā· WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@ce25356 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub Ā· github.com [1] Today I swapped out all of my keys that are used dual purpose for letters and layers to homerow layers. This prevents goofy things happening when rolling, and prefers-tap makes it so that keys that are rolled over get hit as letters instead of as layers. This was one of my biggest hurdles jumping into zmk, lt as a homerow key just does not behave the same as the ht/hm behaviors with tap-preferred set.

[1] They had split ergo boards back in 1983??? WTF who the heck keeps these row stagger boards going.

- This keyboard layout looks weird af the mix of column staggar and row stagger is wild. Not sure if its genius or an abomination. That solenoid though is absolutely wild though, I kinda want one TBH. and the clear plate with the diodes laid out on it in a herringbone pattern is a very nice touch.

- Hard to argue this take, happy to see that its at the top. With it being such an old language its amazing that it still holds this position, and not surprising that it has warts, and thing that have turn users off from wanting anything to do with it. timestamped in the link Note This post is a thought [1].
