Some of the things I've found interesting lately.
“Tembo is the Postgres developer platform for building every application and data service. Collapse the database sprawl of the modern data stack with a unified developer platform.”
“Description will go into a meta tag in head /”
“A directory of self-hosted software and applications for easy browsing”
“Stop writing boilerplate code, struggling with auth and managing infrastructure. Connect APIs with code when you need it and no code when you don't.”
“Open source content management for your Git workflow”
“Fedify is a Deno/TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse.”
““Hey guys” is a common salutation, but it’s not gender neutral. People who aren’t men can feel excluded when addressed as “guys,” even if that is not the intent.”
“For all of us who get stuck, feel overwhelmed, lose track of time, forget what we’re working on, or could just use a little help concentrating.”
“Our nine month journey to horizontally shard Figma’s Postgres stack, and the key to unlocking (nearly) infinite scalability.”
“GOV.UK Notify recently migrated our production database. Find out how we did it with the least possible disruption to our users.”
“To start, I want to say that I’m appreciative that PgBouncer exists and the work its open source maintainers put into it. I also love working with PostgreSQL, and I’m thankful for the incredible amount of work and improvements that go into it as well. I also think community and industry enthusiasm around Postgres is at an all time high. There are more managed hosting options than ever (Crunchy Data, Render, Fly.”
“One of my favourite things to do in my free time is to tinker with this website. Indeed, this website is the culmination of years of tinkering. I have added features like coffee shop maps that I can share with friends, a way for me to share my bio in two languages, a sitemap.xml file to help search engines find pages on my website, and more.”
“This quote from Charity Majors is probably the best summary of the current state of observability in the tech industry - a total, mass confusion. Everyone is confused. What is a trace? What is a span? Is log line a span? Do I need traces if I have logs? Why I need traces if I have great metrics? The list of questions like these goes on. Charity - together with other great folks from observability system called”
“CSS Color Module 4 adds oklch(), and we gain P3 wide-gamut support, boost code readability, and improve developer-designer communication.”
“Steady is a Continuous Coordination platform that uses smart, structured communication loops to keep companies and teams aligned, engaged, and productive in minutes per day.”
“We hope you'll join us in our mission to fundamentally advance software collaboration.”
“Platform Tilt tracks technical issues in major software platforms which disadvantage Firefox relative to the first-party browser.”
“Most of Slack runs on a monolithic service simply called “The Webapp”. It’s big – hundreds of developers create hundreds of changes every week. Deploying at this scale is a unique challenge. When people talk about continuous deployment, they’re often thinking about deploying to systems as soon as changes are ready. They talk about microservices …”
“Since its release last year, how to filter the photos in our shared library to only show the photos I contributed has eluded me. Individual photo metadata shows who contributed a photo (and in the case of duplicates, multiple people might have contributed the same photo), but there was no way to view one’s contributions in bulk. After a few months of latent frustration, I figured out a way! In the search bar, enter the e-mail address of the contributor's Apple ID and you should see a auto-suggestion like "👥 Shared by person@example.”
“Stream your music library from Jellyfin to your iOS devices with ease using Manet.”
