Damn this button had me stuck for way too long. It definitely looks like a button once I see it, but I don’t recall coming into contact with many buttons in the game, I tried to set it ablaze, pull it, fly it, nothing.

How can I add my YouTube videos via RSS?
You can share your videos or other people
SocialBee Help Documentation · help.socialbee.com [1]
YouTube makes finding rss feeds way too hard. Hats off to them for still supporting it, allowing you to find content outside the algorithm, and consuming content you asked for. But i had no idea you had to search the source code to get it.

Sylvain Kerkour · kerkour.com [1]
Very interesting article by Sylvain, suggested by Simon Willison.
Definitely some things that I want to come back and try later on.
Here is the TLDR of the whole post
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA cache_size = 1000000000;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = true;
PRAGMA temp_store = memory;
This is interesting, and something I need to consider. I definitely have an application with slow count queries. I am not sure how to make it better as its not a full count(*) so a count table doesn’t work, nor does counting by index.
I might need to have a table of cached results, and if a write matches the counter increase it, or update all counters on write.
COUNT queries are slow
SQLite doesn’t keep statistics about its indexes, unlike PostgreSQL, so COUNT queries are slow, even when using a WHERE clause on an indexed field: SQLite has to scan for all the matching records.
One solution...

Inspiring story transitioning into tech from nursing. I also came to tech through a set of circumstances that made it difficult for me to excel at my current job. Looking back it is something that I was always interested in and I was just unsure how to get in, I am so glad that I figured it out, it has been such a great benefit to my family.
I really enjoyed listening to trshpuppy’s journey in through building projects, and choosing tech not based on what she wanted to learn, but what fit the project the best.

great poll of git [2] questions
poll: did you know that in a git merge conflict, the order of the code is different when you do a merge/rebase?

sealed-secrets.netlify.app [1]
kubeseal is a pretty simple to get started with way to manage secrets such that they can be stored in a git [2] repo and be picked up by your continuous delivery service.
Sealed Secrets provides declarative Kubernetes Secret Management in a secure way. Since the Sealed Secrets are encrypted, they can be safely stored in a code repository. This enables an easy to implement GitOps flow that is very popular among the OSS community.

Great episode covering a seemingly simple topic. What I really benefitted from was hearing all the different use cases, from logging, debugging, to a/b testing, caching, and auth. I hadn’t even thought of it being applied to a router. I thought of it being applied for an entire application. This seems very useful for things like an admin router, all routes would need to have the admin role to get in.

I’ve been using these decorators to modify the behavior of specific routes. It will do things like 404 admin only routes in a way that looks just like fastapi [1]’s default, or only allow certain roles into the route, or redirect unauthenticated users to login.
After listening to yesterday’s syntaxfm I’m now really thinking about middleware and the benefits it might have. middleware would make it easy to apply things like admin to an entire admin router, so you wont forget it on any one admin route. It will look cleaner as the admin checker is only applied once per router, not once per route.

jinja’s url_for in fastapi [1] does not account for https by default, there is
probably a better way, but this is a way that allows me to configure when I use

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)

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.

These probes are commonly deployed at /healthz and /livez endpoints.
Why the z?
z is a convention that comes from google for meta endpoints to reduce conflict with actual endpoints, and can be deployed to any application.

First I need to fetch my thoughts from the api, and put it in a local sqlite database using sqlite-utils.
fthoughts () {
# fetch thoughts
curl 'https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999' | sqlite-utils insert ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post --pk=id --alter --ignore -
}
Now that I have my posts in a local sqlite database I can use sqlite-utils to enable full text search and populate the full text search on the post table using the title message and tags columns as search.
sthoughts () {
# search thoughts
# sqlite-utils enable-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags
# sqlite-utils populate-fts ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post title message tags
sqlite-utils search ~/.config/thoughts/database2.db post "$*" | ~/git/thoughts/format_thought.py | bat --style=plain --color=always --language=markdown
}
alias st=sthoughts
Now I am ready to search my thoughts, which is a tiny blog format that I created mostly for leaving my own personal comment on web pages, so most of them have a link to some other online content, and their title is based on the authors title.

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.

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.

Anthony uses backref here, thats legacy, use back_populates on both parent and child.

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.

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.

I’ve heard prime say just give it the one eyed fighting kirby so many times, and execute it few times, and there is no way to find it online, so this will be the link that I will come to, when I need to remember what @theprimeagen means when he says Give it the one eyed fighting kirby.

So what is this? # [1]
This is a vim substitute comand to replace text in the buffer. the one eyed fighting kirby is a regex capture group to capture everything between matches, and assign it a value to place back in after the match.

Here is a contrived example of text.

from here go there

Now for some reason I want to switch all of the words here and there. I can do that with three capture groups, \1 is here, \2 is everything between, \3 is there.

This is a pretty sweet interface into llms. I used it a bit with my son tonight while he was asking me for datapack ideas.
❯ mods -f 'I am trying to have fun on my minecraft server and am creating a minecraft datapack send me some load.mcfuncions that will make it fun'
You can continue the conversation with a -C
❯ mods -C -f 'I like where you are going with number 4, can you make it so that it runs when a player opens a door'

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()

Template Designer Documentation — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x)
jinja.palletsprojects.com [1]
html [2] code generated by my jinja templates generally look half garbage because of indents and whitespace all over the place. I just learned about these pesky Whitespace Control characters that can get rid of the whitespace added from templating.
You can also strip whitespace in templates by hand. If you add a minus sign (-) to the start or end of a block (e.g. a For tag), a comment, or a variable expression, the whitespaces before or after that block will be removed:
{% for item in seq -%}
{{ item }}
{%- endfor %}

Intro - Minecraft Server on Docker (Java Edition)
Documentation for Minecraft Server on Docker
docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io [1]
I just learned that if you can exec into the container running minecraft with the itzg/minecraft container you can run rcon-cli to get command access to the server. You need to set the RCON_PASSWORD if you want to access rcon remotely, but if you have not already done this and have access to the server you can just run rcon-cli when you are in.

Theo’s response puts a lot of my feelings about unit testing into words. It’s crazy how cargo culty it becomes that the echo chamber of twitter can bring in beliefs that we think we believe, but have not experienced enough or put enough thought in to form our own opinion.

After struggling to get dependencies inside of middleware I learned that you can make global dependencies at the app level. I used this to set the user on every single route of the application without needing Depend on getting the user on each route.
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, Request
def get_db_session():
print("Calling 'get_db_session(...)'")
return "Some Value"
def get_current_user(session=Depends(get_db_session)):
print("Calling 'get_current_user(...)'")
return session
def recalculate_resources(request: Request, current_user=Depends(get_current_user)):
print("calling 'recalculate_resources(...)'")
request.state.foo = current_user
app = FastAPI(dependencies=[Depends(recalculate_resources)])
@app.get("/")
async def root(request: Request):
return {"foo_from_dependency": request.state.foo}

Handling Errors - FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
fastapi.tiangolo.com [1]
This page shows how to customize your fastapi [2] errors. I found this very useful to setup common templates so that I can return the same 404’s both programatically and by default, so it all looks the same to the end user.
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
class UnicornException(Exception):
def __init__(self, name: str):
self.name = name
app = FastAPI()
@app.exception_handler(UnicornException)
async def unicorn_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: UnicornException):
return JSONResponse(
status_code=418,
content={"message": f"Oops! {exc.name} did something. There goes a rainbow..."},
)
@app.get("/unicorns/{name}")
async def read_unicorn(name: str):
if name == "yolo":
raise UnicornException(name=name)
return {"unicorn_name": name}

Setting an additional log handler to the uvicorn logger for access logs in fastapi [2] was not straightforward, but This post was very helpful.
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_event():
logger = logging.getLogger("uvicorn.access")
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"))
logger.addHandler(handler)

Setting tags in your fastapi endpoints will group them in the docs. You can also set some metadata around the tags to get nice descriptions.
Here is a full example from the post.
from fastapi import FastAPI
tags_metadata = [
{"name": "Get Methods", "description": "One other way around"},
{"name": "Post Methods", "description": "Keep doing this"},
{"name": "Delete Methods", "description": "KILL 'EM ALL"},
{"name": "Put Methods", "description": "Boring"},
]
app = FastAPI(openapi_tags=tags_metadata)
@app.delete("/items", tags=["Delete Methods"])
@app.put("/items", tags=["Put Methods"])
@app.post("/items", tags=["Post Methods"])
@app.get("/items", tags=["Get Methods"])
async def handle_items():
return

Most bloggers on my twitter blog right into a file that goes on git [2]. I kinda expected to have more database folk. I have my blog in markdown on git and the editing experience is top notch. I can just find files edit them in MY EDITOR, push them and I got a post. I am running thoughts in a sqlite database with a fastapi [3] backend, and holy crap the instant nature of posting feels so much better. Both sides have good points.
