- prein parentyep, i use fastmail with a custom domain. i have a catch all email set up, so i just register any account on sitename.com as "sitename@mydomain" and it all gets sorted into a catch all folder. I can then run rules if i want it to go into a certain category like "bills" or just straight to the garbage.
- Take a look at their description of how SQLite is tested: https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html
I think a lot of projects that claim to have 100% coverage are overselling their testing, but SQLite is in another category of thoroughness entirely.
- I don't daily drive KDE, but when I set up our home media PC in the living room over the weekend, KDE was a no-brainier to pick for the DE.
Everything immediately just worked, it's familiar enough that someone not used to Linux can click around and get to things, and as a bonus, controlling it from the couch with our phones is trivial with KDE Connect.
- Once, after we had an application go live, we started getting reports after a few hours that new users were unable to log in.
It turns out, somewhere in the auth path, a dev had used `==` to verify a user's ID, which worked for Longs under (I believe) 128, so any users with an ID bigger than that were unable to log in due to the comparison failing.
- I switched from i3 to Niri a couple weeks ago, and I've been super happy with it.
Niri feels like it lines up more naturally with the way I tend to use windows and workspaces. I'm working on one project per workspace, opening an occasional ephermeral terminal window or web browser to the right when I need to reference something or run a quick command. My other windows in the workspace aren't altered by these new ones, no reflow happens, and then I can close it when done.
My only problem with Niri is that now I really want an Ultrawide monitor.
- After using gmail for around a decade, I switched to fastmail a few months ago and have been extremely happy with the change.
I still have a lot of accounts associated to my gmail email, but i've been slowly migrating things over when convenient. It has been a much smaller lift than I anticipated and absolutely worth it.
- This sort of thing is why looking at generated SQL while developing instead of just trusting the ORM to write good queries is so important.
I find query planning (and databases in general) to be very difficult to reason about, basically magic. Does anyone have some recommended reading or advice?
- What would be a better alternative than LaTex for the alt text? I can't think of a solution that makes more sense, it provides an unambiguous representation of what's depicted.
I wouldn't think an LLM would have issue with that at all. I can see how a screen reader might, but it seems like the same problem faced by a screen reader with any piece of code, not just LaTex.
- I’ve been using Firefox for nearly 20 years. Lately I’ve noticed more and more websites that don’t work with it. Usually I can just ignore the bugs or avoid the site, but sometimes it’s something that I have to do (like pay a bill) and so I have no choice but to keep a Chromium install around as well.
I really hate having to double-fist browsers, but I’m too stubborn to switch to a Chromium-based browser full time. I’ll use Firefox or any other alternative for as long as the web remains usable on them.
