Man @exe.dev is so cool. Amazing to be able to paste in a link to a public repo from your phone and and start chatting about it with an agent, without having had to have opened a laptop and cloned it first
I've written a blog post about some of the less obvious things I've learned about Postgres indexes.

Great article, I didn’t know about functional, partial and covering SQL indexes

Flashed the open-source CrossPoint Reader firmware and it’s already a huge improvement when displaying ePub files github.com/crosspoint-r...
Joking of course, but I think I meant to get the X3. It’s still cool though, excited to play with it

I think the Huel acquisition may be Aylesbury’s first unicorn? (I went to school there so feel proud for some reason, despite having nothing to do with them)
With juttu.app you can add a comment section to any blog article that adopts standard.site adding two lines of HTML, how cool is that? :)
Didn’t think anyone had read it but just found a bunch of comments on HN, Lobsters and Reddit—a very nice surprise! And an improvement to the workflow, double result
This is an absolutely beautiful, glorious description of the products in our lives. The things that once were simple tools that met needs, now demand relationships, have opinions, and occupy cycles of our lives.

“I’ve always liked small beautiful things, that’s my own bias. But, you can assemble big beautiful things from small beautiful things.”
Excellent post.
On a non-milk-related note, @idursun.com’s jjui tool for @jj-vcs.dev is really good idursun.github.io/jjui/
As I understand it, the milk container goes into a heated water bath and rotates. It’s also depressurised so that the milk can evaporate at a much lower temperature and avoid burning. It then travels into the condenser on top where they can decide which components to keep and control the flavour
Well the first time I’ve seen one full stop actually

First time I’ve ever seen a “rotary evaporator” machine used on milk to make coffee
The author also has a tool for semantic code review, based on a similar concept github.com/Ataraxy-Labs...
Definitely some interesting ideas to keep an eye on
I don’t often find myself dealing with conflicts to be honest, but maybe I’ll try to create some more overlapping tasks to give me an excuse to try it 🤭
Weave is an alternative merge driver for Git to semantically merge code based on the code instead of just lines in a file. Very cool concept ataraxy-labs.github.io/weave/
And a clever name!
I’ve written a bit about my @jj-vcs.dev workflow for reviewing others’ code. Still room to improve the process but I’m finding value in it so thought I’d share. Feedback welcome!

Terrible photo but this was a missile being intercepted #Dubai
Crazy seeing missiles exploding in the sky out of the window
I’ve been using this! It’s not bad, the config is a bit fiddly and sometimes it seems to get a bit bogged down but it does the job
Been stuck on Windows at work for 3 months and have finally gone back to MacOS. Using WSL is better than I thought but it’s still nothing on the Mac. So much more stable in general, the terminal handles mouse control characters without randomly printing them to the screen, and ⌘ for clipboard is 🤌🏼
After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.
Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
I’ve heard this argument before I don’t quite understand it—why anyone would build new wind generation if they were only going to get paid the amount it costs them to run, i.e. close to zero. I think they’d just all end up bidding £0.10 less than the gas producers and we’d be back to square one.
Good luck! It looks like the `--ignore-working-copy` might now be redundant as of the latest release (v0.36.0)
