AUR.">paru has some nice features that I rarely use, and hav to look up when I need them. Here are two commands to help with dependency management.

Jerod (It’s ya boi) and Adam are my favorite tech news nerds, and have the sickest podcasts in tech. Yes plural podcasts they run seven podcasts maybe more. If you want it short and sweet they got the best 15 minutes of tech news each week this is it. My favorite is Ship it, sad to see Gerhard go, but Justin and Autumn are crushing it. Every episode is highly polished and surrounded by the sickest beats in podcasting.

Subscribe to one pod if you want, but I recommend collecting them all with the master feed.

Small web app to convert html into markdown. Pretty cool idea. I actually want to look into this for reader and see how well it would work. Right now I am just pulling descriptions, but maybe I can pull full web pages, and keep the full intent of the first 200 words or so in the cards.

Award for the creepiest way to stand up a robot from lying flat.

Five star episode with Jarod and Adam shootin the crap.

The massive Cease and Desist

Sucks that the guest had to back out, what a wild world 2024 is. Filled with license and pricing changes.

From Vim to Zed

I recently had to update my copier-gallery command to trust my own templates because some of them have shell scripts that run afterwards. Be warned that this could be a dangerous feature to run on random templates you get off the internet, but these are all mine, so if I wreck it its my own fault.

copier copy --trust <template> <destination>

All the the copier copy api can be found with help.

You can give k3s an install channel to install stable, latest, or specific versions like 1.26. This is handy to make sure that you install the same version on all of your workers.

Today I accidentally ran f2 in ipython to discover that it opens your $EDITOR! I use this feature quite often in zsh, it is bound to <c-e> for me, and since I have my environment variable EDITOR set to nvim it opens nvim when I hit <c-e>. Today I discovered that Ipython has this bound to F2. If you know how to set it to <c-e> let me know I’ve tried, a lot.

export EDITOR=nvim ipython <F2>

better yet add export EDITOR=nvim to your .zshrc

Damn 2024 is such a shit show, now Devin seems to be out as a complete scam. It’s really teaching us to have skepticism for what you find on the internet. Turns out that when broken down frame by frame much of the description in the video was a straight up lie. Personally it seemed quite plausible that it was percentage points better than the competition, but I was not holding my breath for it to be a hands off engineer.

I learned about the sqlite_master table from this stack overflow answer. This helps make a lot of sense to how sqlite works. The master table contains all the sqlite objects and the sql to create them.

The .tables, and .schema “helper” functions don’t look into ATTACHed databases: they just query the SQLITE_MASTER table for the “main” database. Consequently, if you used

I’ve really been enjoying using sqlmodel for my projects that need a database. One thing that I definitely lacked on for too long was indexing my database. I hit a point with one database where it was taking 7s for pretty simple paginated queries to return 10 records.

For every field that you will be querying on, you can create an index, by setting it equal to Field(index=True)

class Hero(SQLModel, table=True): id: int | None = Field(default=None, primary_key=True) name: str = Field(index=True) secret_name: str age: int | None = Field(default=None, index=True)

The docs cover this pretty well, and in quite depth - Optimizing Queries

This is a cool snapshot testing tool that automatically creates, and updates test values for you.

Starting with some test code.

from inline_snapshot import snapshot def something(): return 1548 * 18489 def test_something(): assert something() == snapshot()

now if I run pytest my tests will fail because my assert will fail, but if I run pytest --inline-snapshot=create it will fill out my snapshot values and the file will then look like this.

inline-snapshot is a new tool that I am trying out for python testing. It takes snapshots of your outputs and places them inline with the test.

Here is the most basic starter.

import inline_snapshot def test_one(): assert 1 == snapshot()

Now when I run pytest my tests will fail because my assert has no value, but if I run pytest --inline-snapshot=create it will fill out my snapshot values and the file will then look like this.

import inline_snapshot def test_one(): assert 1 == snapshot(1)

It also works with pydantic models.

nalgeon has done a fantastic job with redka. Highly recommend taking a look.

Redis re-implemented with SQLite

Redka a sick new redis compatable api, that uses sqlite as its backend datastore. It feels lightweight to use as it is a single small binary. Data does not have to fit into memory as it uses sqlite to store data.

Today I learned how to VACUUM a sqlite database and cut its size in about half. It’s a database that I have had running for quite awhile and has some decent traffic on it.

Why is it important to do a VACUUM? In short its becuase the file system gets fragmented with as data is updated. On delete the files are removed from the database and marked as available for reuse in the filesystem, but the space is not reclaimed.

To VACUUM a database, run the following sql command. You can do it right form the sqlite shell by running sqlite3.

You will need about double the current size of the database as free space to do the VACUUM, you need space for a full copy, journaling or write ahead logs, and the existing database.

Check your system to see if you are vulnerable to the xz backdoor.

I found this line most pertanent to me.

The xz packages prior to version 5.6.1-2 (specifically 5.6.0-1 and 5.6.1-1) contain this backdoor.

Also it appears that arch is not vulnerable as it does not directly link openssh to liblzma, so the known attack vecotor is not possible. read to the end of the linked article for more.

I learned that tailwind animations are pretty easy to add only needing a few classes. For some reason though my brain broke, thinking that I could dynamically change the number and you can’t cause there are only so many pre compiled classes without using an arbitrary value with brackets.

Here are the classes that I used to transition my colors very slowly.

<div id="square" class="transition-colors ease-in-out duration-700"> </div>

And the entire square element.
