just now (450+ words) On my previous posts, I've been creating a text editor based on the Kilo text Editor. The changes explained in this post can be found in the Kilo-go github repository, in the config branch Now we are going to improve it, and since we've finished the guide, I'm not going to continue with the series. In this article we are going to go through the process of: First thing we need to address is to be able to run the text editor in any operating system. Upon finishing the series, I found a library that will help us go to raw mode regardless of the operating system we are working in. Note: I was able to test this feature in both MacOS and Linux, do not have a Windows machine for me to test in The library that will help…...

Only Doctrine or PDO needed, and a small but incredibly powerful trick used by many battle-tested frameworks across different programming languages ecosystems. One reason this is a very solid approach is that it provides the guarantees of real database integration tests " transactions, persisted data, and SQL queries hitting a real database " while keeping execution times extremely low. This makes it ideal for large test suites, continuous refactoring, and yes, even TDD, because it preserves your development flow through a fast feedback loop. Also, this approach works exceptionally well in legacy projects. Most legacy codebases lack a Testing Foundation. With this technique, you can introduce high-level database integration tests even into very old or badly coupled systems. Please note that…...

11+ min ago (458+ words) PostgreSQL, being one of the most robust open-source databases, offers flexibility in how backups are managed. However, this flexibility also means you need to make informed decisions about your infrastructure. The debate between self-hosted and cloud solutions isn't about which is universally better " it's about which fits your specific requirements, budget, and technical capabilities. Self-hosted backups involve storing your PostgreSQL backup files on infrastructure that you own, manage, and maintain. This could be on-premises servers, NAS devices, or dedicated backup appliances within your data center. You have complete control over the hardware, software, and security configurations. The appeal of self-hosting lies in its autonomy. You're not dependent on third-party availability, and you maintain physical possession of your data at all times. For organizations with strict compliance requirements or those operating in air-gapped environments, self-hosted solutions may be the only viable…...

17+ min ago (477+ words) Remember when you lived at your parents" house and you thought your bedroom was your personal kingdom? You closed the door, maybe even put up a "Do Not Enter" sign" and still, somehow, your parents always knew exactly what you were doing. Why? Because they had the key. They could walk in anytime " to check if you cleaned the room, what snacks you were hiding, or what series you were secretly binge-watching. Privacy: Denied. Now here"s the twist: This is exactly what happens to your database when you don"t control privileges properly. If a user has too many permissions, it"s basically handing them a master key to the whole house. Just like your childhood bedroom, your database has "doors." And just like your parents, an over-privileged user can walk through any of them. So let"s fix…...

17+ min ago (325+ words) As a home cook, I spent most of my life using dull, cheap knives. It wasn't until I started testing chef's knives earlier this year that I realized how important it is to invest a little bit in the tool you'll most likely be using every day for years (or even decades if you keep up with maintenance). I didn't realize that using a cheap, very dull knife as my daily driver was slowing down my cooking process, making less effective cuts, and even putting me at risk of injury, as the blade was dull and caused me to apply more pressure (which in turn made things more dangerous). I'm a believer in the importance of investing in A Good-Ass Knife. Plus, they make seriously wonderful presents. Every kitchen (and home chef) needs a solid chef's knife to slice, dice,…...

20+ min ago (391+ words) Check out the best 128GB RAM laptops we've seen this year and there are even a few 256GB laptops out there Are you going to be in the market for 128GB RAM or 256GB laptops in 2025? Then read on. Notebooks boasting 128GB RAM or more are a niche category and are definitely not designed for the average user due to their premium pricing and size. That said, they represent the pinnacle of mobile computing power, able to handle tasks on the go that would metaphorically melt the best workstation desktops around. Ergo, only to be used by the power users. These machines are not found among the conventional thin-and-light laptops, as all models feature screens larger than 15.6 inches, catering to those who prioritize performance over portability. Typically housed in robust mobile workstations " and occasionally in high-end gaming laptops " these laptops are matched with the industry's…...

27+ min ago (903+ words) Micro-joys, like savoring a cup of coffee, taking a quick walk in the sun or receiving a heartwarming message from a friend, do more than brighten a moment of your life. Research shows that they build resilience, reduce stress and compound into lasting mental-health gains in ways that grand achievements often cannot. Both new and classic research suggest that these micro-joys matter more for day-to-day mental health than we give them credit for. They broaden attention, incrementally raise baseline mood and, crucially, create upward spirals of positive emotion that big milestones rarely sustain. Big milestones deliver powerful spikes of joy. You get the job, close the deal and cross a finish line and feel a sharp boost in your confidence and happiness. But classical research on hedonic adaptation shows people quickly return to baseline after major rewards. In contrast, positive…...

29+ min ago (380+ words) Obsidian does not value plugin creators, as evidenced by the fact that: It takes more than three months to have your plugin approved Moderator "WhiteNoise" does not agree that Obsidian would die without the plugin marketplace My post was removed for "misinterpreting" his words and I was subsequently banned when I questioned the decision. edit: When I posted this thread to the Obsidian forums, I was immediately IP banned with no response. Now let's be absolutely clear: without the community and the thousands upon thousands of hours of free labor provided by plugin developers, Obsidian is just another markdown editor. Yet, instead of rolling out the red carpet for the people building their product's value for free, the leadership treats us as nuisances to be managed or silenced. When you purge valid criticism, you surround yourselves with "yes-men" who will…...
