My motivation to work on GoBlog isn’t always the same. Sometimes I don’t feel like programming in my free time, so the most I do is some bug fixing when I find broken things. Sometimes I just have no time to work on new features or improvements. But since yesterday evening I feel a new push and have completely rewritten the plugin system to make it much more flexible (and I like flexibility). I had to break compatibility with existing plugins, but given the small user base and the limited scope of what plugins could … ⌘ Read more

PEP 703: Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython
CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This PEP proposes adding a build configuration (–without-gil) to CPython to let it run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe. ⌘ Read more

The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time. Zeno’s Paradox and Why Modern Technology is Rubbish – Terence Eden’s Blog

It feels like every time I come across a Gemini capsule I find interesting, the owner suddenly stops posting and leaves the protocol. Maybe that’s a lesson for me: if I like their content, reach out to them and let them know.

@prologic@twtxt.net see where its used maybe that can help.

This is an upsert. So I pass a streamID which is like a globally unique id for the object. And then see how the type of the parameter in the function is used to infer the generic type. In the function it will create a new *Info and populate it from the datastore to pass to the function. The func will do its modifications and if it returns a nil error it will commit the changes.

The PA type contract ensures that the type fulfills the Aggregate interface and is a pointer to type at compile time.

How to create a keyboard shortcut to export the current slide in Keynote
Lately I’ve been using Apple Keynote to create graphics for using in videos and blog posts. It’s a quick way to arrange things on a page, copying and pasting most things just works, and there are enough built in shapes and tools to get the point across. However, after spending a full day creating graphics for a video, I found myself frustrated by the number of clicks required to export a single slide at a time. ⌘ Read more

Bunny AI
Bunny.net joined the AI hype and created “Bunny AI” (docs), AI images created on the edge. I tried it out, because it’s currently free during the preview, but somehow I don’t find the generated images aesthetic or I’m just to stupid to write better prompts. I guess the Bunny developers also need some distraction from time to time, because they are working hard on S3 support for Bunny Storage for years already. 🐰 ⌘ Read more

Erlang Solutions: Change data capture with Postgres & Elixir
CDC is the process of identifying and capturing data changes from the database.

With CDC, changes to data can be tracked in near real-time, and that information can be used to support a variety of use cases, including auditing, replication, and synchronisation.

A good example of a use case for CDC is to consider an application which inserts a record into the database and pushes an event to a message queue after the record has … ⌘ Read more

Circling back to the IsPreferred method. A hasher can define its own IsPreferred method that will be called to check if the current hash meets the complexity requirements. This is good for updating the password hashes to be more secure over time.

func (p *Passwd) IsPreferred(hash string) bool {
	_, algo := p.getAlgo(hash)
	if algo != nil && algo == p.d {

		// if the algorithm defines its own check for preference.
		if ck, ok := algo.(interface{ IsPreferred(string) bool }); ok {
			return ck.IsPreferred(hash)
		}

		return true
	}
	return false
