New comment by fstephany in "SQLx – Rust SQL Toolkit"

I agree with you that dynamic query building can be tedious with a pure SQL approach. The use case you are describing can be solved with something alone the lines of:

  WHERE organization = $1
     AND ($2 IS NULL OR starts_with(first_name, $2)
     AND ($3 IS NULL OR birth_date > $3)

With SQLx you would have all the params to be Options and fill them according the parameters that were sent to your API.

Does that make sense?

Oh wow, thank you. I didn't know nested CSS was a real thing nowadays.

I have the same feeling performance-wise with the laptop I bought in 2020 with a Ryzen 7 4800H.

But it's a heavy brick with a short battery life compared to the M1/2/3 Mac.

It makes me think of https://moldabledevelopment.com/

You do not code in the visual environment but it helps you to create tools to visualize exactly what you want/need to see. The interactivity is hard to beat and once you are used to it, you can quickly create visualizations that you can throw away (or keep).

I would go full text-mode (Markdown), Keynote or Ludus[1]

I always thought about it as the "vinyl master" analogy as well but it looks like it has a master/slave origin from the Bitkeeper days.

Depending on which model you are interested in, you might find some European company offering the same chassis (usually Clevo or Tongfang).

For example, the Lemur Pro 14 looks like a Clevo L141CU which is also sold by Schenker (or Tuxedo for a Linux version). You can probably find a brand that retails in your area/country/continent.

Following the progress of the Reform project has been fascinating.

Thanks a lot for making this and sharing frequent updates :)

Following the progress of this project is fascinating.

I don't know how big is the crowd interested in the end goal, the hardware and the software of the Reform. I know for sure that I'm part of that crowd.

fstephany — Sat, 02 May 2020 21:19:08 +0000

Is it installed as a Snap?

From what I understood, only the first start is slow. Once the virtual disk had been decompressed, subsequent launches are much faster.

It's KaiOS[1]. I think their biggest hit was the JioPhone in theIndian market[2] but the phone lineup is quite impressive for an alternative system.

They've got some funding from Google[3] as well.

Regolith [1] is the perfect i3+Ubuntu combo for me.

It comes with sensible default for a good i3 experience but you keep the Ubuntu "universality".

Haiku OS and Gnome have such a different feeling when I use them.

Haiku has this delightful vibe to it, I can't explain.

New comment by fstephany in "Vanmoof S3 E-bike Review"

fstephany — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 15:17:01 +0000

I might be in the market for an e-bike.

The Cowboy looks a bit better to me with its central motor and removable battery but the Vanmoof looks more comfy. The review doesn't mention anything about that.

Is there any other significant difference between the two bikes? If you bought one of those, which criteria were decisive in your decision?
