High level of creativity is needed here. Boost your creativity Can you make a number larger than 902 by moving only 2 sticks?

@JamieHoward Dang man this is nuts 🤯. You going to make a full game or are you just tinkering?

Being able to build prototypes with actual character assets like this is insane. Midjourney → Trellis.2 → Mixamo → Cursor

@Wisdom_HQ 1+4(1)=5 2+5(2)=12 3+6(3)=21 5+8(4)=37

@Wisdom_HQ Answer is 37

@aarondfrancis Sounds like the db focused route is the way to go. There's likely to be a lot of interest in context management and dbs in months to come. There are systems like GraphRAG and Google Memory Bank coming out, and there will be lots of value in teaching on the underlying concepts.

I need your help! I'm reevaluating my YouTube strategy as I move toward focusing more exclusively on database content. My current channel is great, but all over the place. I think it makes sense to start a dedicated Database School channel where I *just* teach databases. From what I've heard / learned, that will help the algorithm figure out who to show the videos to. Good idea / bad idea? Next question: the Database School podcast. Should that go on its own channel instead of lumped in with the other database videos? I'm thinking probably so. The current channel will continue with Laravel / general webdev stuff. Please help!

@heyrobinai Curious why you didn’t include Claude Code in your testing? I also would have included Cursor over windsurf. Augment code is another to look at. Anyway, appreciate the perspective on Warp. I’ve loved it as a terminal, but haven’t tried it as an agentic coding tool yet.

Which one was your favorite?

Everyone says AI coding will replace you. So I ran a brutal experiment. Some shocked me. Some flopped badly. Thread with prompt + results: 🧵

@kenwheeler Have a little couth, you could at least have called it the sphincter directory 😂.

replit fucking up the aesthetics of my buttholes folder

@thdxr Laravel Herd is the jam for Laravel devs, but dbngin if not. Both super simple solutions that don’t require a container 😅

for those you of you that develop with a local db (eg postgres/msql) does your team have a specific process to bring it up locally?

@MariyaHari81424 @connect_js Thank you for the kind words @MariyaHari81424 🙏. And thank you for bringing engagement to the talk! It’s hard to read the room sometimes with the tech crowd, and it was nice to get some smiles and nods coming from your table 🙂

🌟Excited to attend @connect_js Tech. There are so many great talks lined up🌟 one is Vue Data Fetching & Management Patterns that Work from @willmarple 🌟

@levelsio @DanielLockyer I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone using Opcache quite like this before. Typically, if data fetching from an RDMS is your bottleneck you’d reach for a fast in-memory search layer. I use Meilisearch often and really like it.

Upgraded 🌎 Nomads.com to PHP 8.2 with Opcache enabled which has reduced its page load from 1000 to 2000ms to ~250ms (so 4x to 8x faster) Opcache caches entire PHP files in-memory, and me and @daniellockyer hacked it in a funny way: to keep the entire Nomads data set in the server's RAM memory at all time Because the entire site is based on its city/country data set from city pages, to country listings, to user profiles of where they travel, it's essential it's always accessible and FAST Without Opcache, loading that entire data set took about 1 second, with Opcache enabled it takes literally less than 1ms (1/1000 of a second) And the thing with the site is, unlike other sites, I can't just select ONE city from the db to show, at all times, I kinda need ALL data, because it's a city/country ranking of all the places in the world But the Nomads.com database is absolutely gigantic and contains millions of constantly (every minute) updated data points, like temperature, air quality, safety scores, crime data, walkability, user likes/dislikes, reviews, review sentiments, even currency exchange rates (which affect cost of living!) etc. So every hour a robot (PHP cron script) compresses that database into one data set with the final values: for example, there's 100+ data points for the internet speed in a city, so it calculates median them, and thinks the Bangkok internet speed should be 45mbps That robot then writes a PHP file which is literally the final data set as a PHP array, that file is loaded on every page load And that updates every hour so the data and the rankings are always fresh That data set is accessed/used by every page on Nomads for lots of purposes: showing the best cities to live and work remotely, allows for super fast filtering without having millions of users hitting the DB And with Opcache it's in-memory at all times!

@aarondfrancis Love this! Personally I’ve been really loving Herd lately for most of my local needs, but I can think of some really cool process groups I could use this pattern for to supplement what I’m doing with Herd. Particularly around managing a supervisor locally

I'm officially TUI-pilled. This is awesome.

@hansww_ @vueconfus @GantLaborde It’s called human by vladmandic! github.com/vladmandic/hum…

@willmarple @vueconfus @GantLaborde @willmarple on the off chance either of you see this, there was a TF based camera gesture recognition library demo'd during Will(?)'s lecture. What was the name of it? Thanks!

I had such an awesome time speaking @vueconfus! It was an honor to be speaking among so many people in the tech community that I admire 🫶💚, not to mention getting to learn from so many great speakers.

@kenwheeler Never gets old

im walking through home depot and this thing starts going nuts and i knew i had to have it

@t3dotgg I feel that as they’ve grown and added more products, the quality of the documentation and consistency throughout the ecosystem has been a challenge. However, as a dev that implements it regularly, I vastly prefer it over the alternatives I’m aware of.

I would release so many more products if setting up Stripe wasn't so annoying to do correctly

@cnakazawa No question. Install @brave and don’t look back. Been using it for about 3 years now.

After more than 15 years, it's time to switch browsers. I just want Chrome but without nefarious behavior by Google. What Chrome-based browser would you recommend on macOS?

@ianlandsman Dude I grew up on the space coast. My dad worked on the crews that put the payload in the shuttle. I’ve seen every kind of cool shuttle/rocket launch there was in the 90’s. I’m not here to argue your opinion but subjectively, self landing rockets are cool as $h!t.

@MelkeyDev Always diagnose with all non-critical peripherals disconnected. Re-seat the memory and then run diagnostics there. There’s a lot that can fail in a puter, but that’s where I’d start

@MelkeyDev Then, also use the same tools drive to run hardware diagnostics on the machine. Start with the hard drive(s). If there’s a failure there you need to see if it’s logical corruption or physical failure.

My Ubuntu OS is absolutely bricked. Stuck in a constant loop into recovery mode, and can't fsck. Booting from recovery mode gets my to the login screen of Ubuntu, but when I try to log in I just get redirect back to login screen. If anyone can help that would be appreciated
