It's kinda funny that an article complaining about blurry rendering, is written using one of the most illegible fonts I've ever seen.

It's the most representative sample size if you're interested in your own performance though. I really don't care if other people are more productive with AI, if I'm the outlier that's not then I'd want to know.

There's a huge difference between endangering other people vs endangering only yourself.

I learned about the --first-parent flag of git blame recently. It allows git blame to work well in repos that use merge commits.

New comment by JelteF in "Started a guide to writing FUSE filesystems in Python"

JelteF — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 09:16:05 +0000

I was forced to use the dokuwiki, but I very much disliked editing stuff in the web interface. Having a filesystem interface to the wiki system allowed me to create and edit pages using vim , which I like to use for writing.

Quite some years ago I created a Python FUSE filesystem[1] to to interact with dokuwiki (a wiki system).

It's built on hde llfuse[2]. But that required implementing a bunch of low level APIs that were not really related to dokuwiki. So I created easyfuse[3][4] as a wrapper, which implemented the things that were unrelated the dokuwiki implementation. If you're interested it in building a FUSE system it might be worth looking at.

I actually think the wall clock time that is used here is a more useful metric here. Using as few keystrokes is not necessarily most "efficient" in time if you have to think longer about which ones to press.

New comment by JelteF in "Things I know about Git commits"

JelteF — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 10:56:46 +0000

The most effective way I've found to get other people to "write" good commit messages is by changing the "Default commit message" for squash merges on the GitHub repo to "Pull request title and description". [1]

That fixes the "Squashing, when you have 100 crap commits, and then not re-editing the message is a crime" item, because suddenly not re-editing will give you a fairly useful message. This ofcourse assumes the PR description is useful, but I've found it much easier to convince people to write a decent PR description than to write decent commit messages.

New comment by JelteF in "The PostgreSQL community debates ALTER SYSTEM"

One of the authors of the patch here. Two reasons:

1. This config option approach was extremely easy to implement

2. Because making this auto.conf read-only would break many existing tools around Postgres that write to auto.conf

I wanted to clarify that I (Jelte, the author of the final patch) work at Microsoft. So, it's definitely not just one company seeing benefit in this feature. Arguably Microsoft is a cloud company too though, but honestly most of the active contributors to PostgreSQL work at a "cloud company".

Luckily that's something that you control client side so you can simply be consistent about that yourself.
