I implemented something similar for a 3M/day ad tech platform. We created a few materialized views for my boss, myself, and the DevOps team to monitor, instead of querying over 100 tables. I used stored procedures in PostgreSQL, which made it fast, efficient, and non-blocking also not to mention we avoided setting up complex Grafana/UI in admin dashboard, boss: i want to know x, y ,z, okay -> tableplus, -> export csv boom!


no when you use todo.txt with Cursor/Supermaven in Neovim you can jsut write everythign and type everything out (as it adapts to your writing style) so it takes me less than few minutes to write my notes, todos etc. why is it joke?


So I watched the "Tetris" movie and it was amazing!

I got itchy to build the tetris game in php and see how fast we it can turn out and specially the line clearning and the algos used, how can this be better? I am not a fluent PHP developer I used PHP mainly from high-school and recently been building apps using Laravel for clients (I am a experienced dev though)

So feel free to roast it.


it's a nice hackery thing to do, but i am too old and tired to use it hehe, i prefer my todo.txt


i am using wayland on fedora 42 + kde, it's fine what are you talking about? if you stop running sway/hyrpland rices you'll be fine.


What if someone doesn't want KDE or GNOME, or any tiling WM?

What if we want some of the other desktops out there?

Examples:

I like Macs and macOS, with a global menu bar. I like Ubuntu's Unity desktop. It doesn't work on Wayland and won't. Unity8, AKA Lomiri, does but it is intended for handhelds with touch and is badly compromised. No global menu bar, for instance.

What if we want something NeXT-like? I like GNUstep. Neither GSDE nor NEXTSPACE supports Wayland.

I like Xfce. It has an experimental version but keyboard window management is broken. Xfce's compatibility with standard Windows keystrokes is one of the reasons I like it. It seems to me Wayland folks don't know these and I've yet to see a Wayland environment that supports them. E.g. Alt+Space, X to maximise. Alt+Space, N to minimise.

I want full title bars, so I can use the scroll wheel on them to roll them up, as in Windowshade.

E.g. https://www.windowmizer.com/

I also want to be able to middle-click the title bar to send that window to the back of the stack. Once _every_ Linux desktop did this, but GNOME started software rot by getting rid of title bars in favour of "client side decorations" and the feature started to disappear.

What if I want one of the lightweight Windows-alike desktops? MATE, Trinity, EDE, XPde? No Wayland support.

What if I want a Chinese desktop with a bit of Win7 bling? DDE and UKUI both don't support Wayland.

What if I want a different trad Unix environment?

CDE, nsCDE, Maxx Interative, OLWM... none work on Wayland.

Amiga style: amiwm doesn't work.

Classic Mac style: mlvwm doesn't work.


i often use telegram saved messages for this


I had an interview a while back that I really liked:

    A pair programming session on a home assignment (it was a Java banking app) with 2–3 bugs and missing features. This allows the interviewer to see the candidate’s problem-solving skills and how quickly they can find, fix, and add features.

    A take-home assignment with a static JSON file containing products, where the developer is asked to build both a front end and a back end around it. This lets you assess their systems thinking — do they overcomplicate things, chase the latest tech, or make wise, pragmatic decisions? During the interview, you can also expand the scope of the assignment, e.g., What if this needs to be production-ready? What would you add?
Anything else usually ends up being a waste of time for both the interviewer and the developer.

I’ve done over 100 of these in the last 10 years.


I have this in tmux opening a flaoting window with neovim and <leader>g to search by tags which opens quickfix pane


i realized either it's pen & or paper or .txt this was a 10+ year experiement and i wasted alot of time finding and building workflows and none of them sticks more than .txt file (i also had a more automated version of it in macos using .txt file and macros that time blocked my calendar but it was too restrict)

nothing falls my mind i can just add #note #<project> #idea or whatever consistent tagging or subnotes i can do the todo.txt and it'd be easier to even feed it to chatgpt/or what everllm to even remind of my most important ones in the future and send me notification in telegram or something.


it has and it's called taskmator, used it for years, but now run linux.


Taskmator is a third party app and it's a bit shaky with buggy selection, but it does the job in a pinch. If choose, given that they're text files you can edit them manually in any editor.
