Curious about your stack that you are using if you don’t mind sharing.

Just had a great conversation with multiple people, really like the concept displayed in the showcase.

I think that it means the reason for doing where 1 = 1 is sometimes to allow for easy insertion of dynamic queries which can be a security and performance issue. The actual usage of where 1 = 1 doesn't cause the security or performance issue.

Are you doing screenshot comparison with Playwright? If so, how? Based on my research this looks to be a missing feature but I could be incorrect.

Any recommendations for a more aggressive reset? What if you are already using a library such as bootstrap or tailwind?

100%. ORMs are good for basic queries but the messes I have seen written joining 20 plus tables with conditions and left joins, etc, oof. Just use SQL, it’s much cleaner and easier to maintain.

To add to this Commander Keen was released on a very limited platform. More people were gaming on Nintendo systems than personal computers. If Commander Keen was released on Nintendo things may have gone differently.

You don’t need electrical lines. Check out companies such as Tushy.

There are plenty of bidets that don’t require electricity. You can buy them as attachments to almost any toilet.

20+ years ago I wrote a completely custom open order dashboard on top of Oracle database that was modeled after a 30+ page daily report that the warehouse guy was printing every morning (M-F) and making 15 - 20 copies, then delivering to management. Aside from saving some trees the warehouse guy was able to come into work an hour later! (He was salary, so no issues there.)

These are fantastic, thank you for sharing!

I’ve been exploring generating small charts with SVGs lately. Does anyone have good resources or suggestions for SVG chart generation? Ideally without requiring a JavaScript framework.
