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.

How do you pronounce URL, is it U.R.L or Earle? I’m about 50/50, mostly when I am in a hurry I use Earle as it is one syllable and easy to say. 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.
Episode also included a fastinating corrdinated attack that used Ars Technica profile photos communicate directions for the next attack via query parameters in the image url.

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.

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.
:s/\(.*\);/console.log(\1)
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.
substitute in a nutshell, :s/<what you want to replace>/<what you want to replace with>
More examples # [2]
Here is a contrived example of text.
here there
from here go there
here = some_fuction(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.
:%s/\(here\)\(.*\)\(there\)/\3\2\1
Just give it the one eyed fighting kirby

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()

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 }}

I’ve had better luck just routing both naked and trailing slash routes in fastapi [4]. I’ve had api’s deployed as a subroute to a site rather than a subdomain, and the automatic redirect betweens them tended to always get messed up.

As I do my writing I break my content up in to many short sections using h2, sometimes an h3. These are generally short sections that go together, should stay together, and typically are not too lengthy to cause a large white space in print.

Great tips in this one. They discuss everything from front end to backend, databases and ORMS, here are a few of my favorite points.
- Use good data or good fake data
- make it have some variation like long and short text
- Don’t use a database if you need one, static content is eaiser to manage
- end to end test, (does the site load page x)
- You DONT NEED all this complexity, you can deploy a site with HTML [2] and CSS.

Uptime kuma is a fantastic self hosted [2] monitoring tool. One docker run command and you are up and running. Once you are in you have full control over checking status of urls, frequency, allowed timeouts, and a HUGE list of notification providers
docker run -d --restart=always -p 3001:3001 -v uptime-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1
I deployed it in my homelab [3] today.

GitHub - johanhaleby/kubetail: Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time
Bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time - johanhaleby/kubetail
GitHub · github.com [1]
Kubetail is a pretty sick bash script that allows you to tail logs for multiple pods in one stream. Very handy when you have more than one replica running.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johanhaleby/kubetail/master/kubetail
chmod u+x ./kubetail
Now with kubetail I can tail all the logs for every shot-wayl-one pod in the shot namespace.
./kubetail shot-wayl-one -n shot

I am converting my docker compose env secrets over to k8s secrets. This guide was clear and to the point how I can replicate this exact workflow.
First set the secret, the easiest way is to use kubectl wtih –from-literal because it automatically base64 encodes for you.
kubectl create secret generic minio-access-key --from-literal=ACCESS_KEY=7FkTV**** -n shot
If you don’t use the --from-literal you will have to base64 encode it.
echo "7FkTV****" | openssl base64
Once you have your secret deployed, you have to update the container spec in your deployment manifest to get the valueFrom secretKeyRef.
spec:
containers:
- env:
- name: ACCESS_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
key: ACCESS_KEY
name: minio-access-key
- name: SECRET_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
key: SECRET_KEY
name: minio-secret-key
image: registry.wayl.one/shot-scraper-api
name: shot-wayl-one
ports:
- containerPort: 5000
protocol: TCP
resources: {}
restartPolicy: Always

Wow, shocked at these results. All this time I’ve been told and believed that k8s is incredibly hard, and you need a $1M problem before you think about it because it will take a $1M team to maintain it. So far my experience has been good, and I definitely do not have a $1M problem in my homelab [2].

Wes has some of the coolest OG [2] images i’ve ever seen. Here he talks about how to enable cache configuration so that its constantly updating the cache without the user waiting for the image to be created.
