I am probably holding them wrong!
This time I tried writing a web app not in #php but #fastapi + #sqlmodel (python) and #vue3 ( javascript). It kind of works well but refactoring is a nightmare.
In the beginning, it felt like I was having the best of both worlds -- Python and Vue3. Dev speed was good. Now maintaining and refactoring make me feel like I am having the worst of both worlds.
As a single dev, I should have stayed with #php!

This fork of vue-simple-select works with #vue3

Thugh https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nextcloud/vue-select may be a better option these days.

I wrote a #rust crate Moden Hopfield Network. I used it to build a neural network that can be trained on the edge. See the demo linked in the README.md.
Modern Hopfield Network has much (much) larger capacity than classical Hopfield Network. They are also called Dense Associative Memory.

Does anyone know an alternative to `gitlab-runner exec` command? Looks like they have removed it? 😢 Now what is the point of using gitlab-runner over #github actions?

Can I ask #gitlabrunner for __not__ running the pipeline for MR that starts with `Draft:` in their title?

#OpenSUSE in AWS still has python3.6 as system python. Every time I use a python tool and ran into python3.6 and python3.9+ compatibility issues, my heart sinks a little. I know, there are solutions like #uv, #venv, #pipx, #docker, #nix etc!
With #rust you sweat (and cry) during development but with #python (and #js), you sweat (and cry) after deployment!
I'll die on the former hill rather than the later. Thank you!

#HTMX is growing on me.
It felt weird at first to generate frontend from the backend. But I gave in because writing more code at the backend was way too tempting. I just can't hold #javascript right.
Using templates and SQL, creating frontend using #php and htmx is pretty nice. Kind of feel like doing #graphql and #Rest together.
But at the end of the day, I am writing less javascript and it is great.

The #USGovernment’s Secret Inventions
Secrecy orders allow U.S. defense agencies to control patents, including those that are privately developed.
By Arvind Dilawar
May 09, 20189:00 AM"Invention secrecy in the U.S. dates back to at least the 1930s, but it really took off in the ’40s, when the development of nuclear weapons was shrouded in classification. It became official policy in 1952 with the #InventionSecrecyAct, which allows USPTO to keep patents deemed ‘detrimental to the national security’ on lockdown. Under the act, USPTO’s commissioner of patents became empowered to flag patent applications—even those developed by private citizens—for review by government defense agencies, which could request that certain inventions be kept secret. Patents covered by such ‘secrecy orders’ may be restricted from export, made available only to defense agencies, or even classified. Patent holders can appeal secrecy orders, but the power to rescind those orders remains in the hands of the agencies that made the requests. While there may be a chance those agencies will reconsider, the statistics aren’t promising: According to figures from the Federation of American Scientists, from 2013 through 2017, an average of 25 old secrecy orders were rescinded each year—while 117 new secrecy orders were imposed annually. With so many inventions deemed secret, so few eventually publicized, and the entire process itself obfuscated in classifications, it’s no wonder that critics have questioned whether the current invention-secrecy regime is really working properly.
“FAS has been dogging the patent-secrecy system for three decades now. Founded in 1945 as the Federation of Atomic Scientists by the engineers of the #ManhattanProject, the organization was originally formed to promote nuclear disarmament. As time passed, it renamed itself the Federation of American Scientists and expanded its scope to address additional issues, like chemical weapons, arms sales, and government secrecy in general. In the ’80s, when the Reagan administration and the National Security Agency sought to limit discussion of cryptography using invention secrecy, FAS entered the fray, successfully fighting off government censorship and tracking the USPTO’s secrecy activity ever since."

As I am getting older, I've started rendering JSON to SVG using #plantuml rather than using debug/`json_encode` functions inside `<pre>` tags.
It's much easier on eyes.
My setup
- Self-host kroki server (https://kroki.io/)
- Use kroki API to embed JSON as image url. -
I tried #dbeaver community to clone a database into a local postgres. While it works great on the text only table, I had a terrible time with a table with a large blob.
#pgloader worked great for databases that don't use SSL and encryption (perhaps I am holding it wrong).
What is your favourite tool that can replicate a postgres db (AWS RDS)?

@cdavies I really really want to hate #python sometimes but can't. The darn thing is so useful. Nothing beats it for anything <1k loc! And no matter what you want to do, it is second or third best choice available.
But as a language for developing systems, it sucks! C-API is terrible (shoutout to #pybind11 and #maturin). Dynamic typing becomes a bane (#mypy helps). For last two days, I am tweaking a #fastapi, I miss rust type safety when refactoring.

I've done a couple of app in #framework7 (vue). It is good. But #quasar looks better.
Quasar has very good support for #capacitorjs which I use to create android app.
Finally learnt how to write native android plugins in JS thanks to #capacitorjs docs!
Fun part -- had to download roughtly 100GB of stuff to build 5MB of app!!!

I've tried them most of them.
Whatsie https://github.com/keshavbhatt/whatsie is the most capable desktop client for #WhatApp on Linux (at least).
If you want to build it on #debian (Trixie), you can use my fork which uses qt6.8 rather than qt6.10 which is not in stable repos yet.

Weekly Notes 2026/20
No rain this week either! And the raw mangoes that I plucked last week are still sitting pretty in basket. ( promises to be a simpler git. I played with it this week but I still don't get it. I like what they are selling though! At work, I got my first MR merged into the codebase! Totally hand-written code, AI was used for on-boarding and rubber-ducking.
