I have been using it for a few weeks, was never really into RSS (I quite like to be oriented to the web site I’m reading), but have found newsagent nice to use

Claude Code has done a good job of building a tui MUD client (I couldn’t find one I liked), and then building a GUI version using Tauri where all the config is shared, so you can run it as either a GUI (on any platform) or TUI. Happy with it so far, and I personally use both TUI mode or GUI mode (with floating panes) depending on what I’m doing.

In general I completely agree that code name overload is dreadful. But I think in this case, where this pair is so fundamental and used so frequently in the codebase, I think I would probably permit it. Beware codename creep.

I run and pub and brewery in the east of England that was established in 1991. We have lots of breweries around here and none of them seem to be on openbrewerydb. I have joined the Discord and will see if I can contribute some info.

This seems similar to how Eloquent (Laravel's ORM) will, by default, make separate IN queries when you ask for a collection plus its relationships (instead of using a JOIN).

I have thought about how you might return normalised data to your front-end and, with support from a front-end library, rebuild the object relationships so you can access them naturally.

I looked into JSON:API and indeed there is a Laravel library for working with JSON:API https://github.com/laravel-json-api/laravel.

One place I got stuck with JSON:API is that support for updating a row and its relationships in a single API request seems to have been kicked around for a while and is unresolved: https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/795

There is an atomic operations extension: https://jsonapi.org/ext/atomic/

But is currently unsupported by laravel-json-api: https://github.com/laravel-json-api/laravel/issues/39

Raspberry Pi 5 3 years ago

I use it as part of a till / ePOS system to run a small node / express http server that drives a receipt printer and cash drawer.

What happened to capture the flag? I still have my t-shirt. But let's talk about the product. As a business owner and a developer, I would prefer suppliers that can make their invoices / receipts available via an API. It's such a mess and would save so much data entry. Someone please make this happen!

On a similar vein, how easy is it to programmatically process emails? I receive a report every day as an email attachment that I would like to process automatically. Right now, I’m doing part where I open the email and download it manually.

That’s amazing, thank you. Is Google Sheets still missing the table functionality from Excel? It’s the first time I’ve seen this and it looks great. Normally I’d be forced to create a new “sheet”. On a side note, Joel is using Excel for Mac and I was wondering at what point it would beachball, which it does around 42 minutes.

Are the other frames lower resolution? The short videos are quite low frame rate. On iPhone X at least you can choose a different frame to use as the “main” photo. They don’t seem to be lower resolution.

Every few months I look at the state of table libraries on the web. Of course, it's great to have pagination, sorting, searching - these are the basics.

I have been impressed with jQuery DataTables. jQuery DataTables has a lot of features, including export to Excel. jQuery DataTables works with Vue without any issues so long as you never mutate the table data. Mutating table data in Vue can be accommodated, but requires watching for data changes in Vue and making calls to the DataTables API.

I have a few questions about this library. Can it detect rows being clicked on (and emit an event, for example)? Can the searching be customized (I may want to display numbers in a locale-specific format, but match even when the search doesn't include the formatting)? Can sorting be customized (I may wish to the sorting for a field to depend on another, possibly hidden, field)?

What do people use in Vue-land for tables? Is there anything that approaches the feature set of jQuery DataTables?

Neovim v0.4.0 7 years ago

I am happy with Neovim in a terminal too. But I wanted I wanted it running as a separate application that I could launch and switch to, so I downloaded the iTerm2 source code and changed the icon and application name and created a profile that just runs Neovim. I find this works well, but maybe someone knows a simpler way, or a generic way, to do this on OS X?
