Via database branching workflows, developers can quickly experiment and ship updates—this is why we often hear how Neon accelerates development for teams. But it can be nerve-wracking to think that you might accidentally delete the production branch or project. To give you peace of mind, we’ve imple...

Dealing with content that keeps changing can lead to bugs on users’ devices that are hard to reproduce. By precisely describing the shape of the content using types and ensuring it matches, exceptions can be avoided and users shown helpful messages when errors occur. This post will illustrate how th...

Similar to when your favourite candy changes its recipe, or when a product you love suddenly becomes discontinued—the recent changes... The post Is There A Simpler Alternative To Google Analytics? appeared first on GoSquared Blog.

As we discussed in Part I of this series, AWS RDS is great for production, but unwieldy for dev, stage, and test databases. Businesses of all kinds ship faster with their entire DB load on Neon: Instant provisioning saves time, development is smoother with branching, and scale to zero reduces non-pr...

GitHub offers permalinks to versions of files and lines, within a repository. They’re easy to create (y keyboard shortcut) and have some nifty affordances like displaying a preview, plus they don’t become invalid as code changes. Use them! The permalinks use the commit hash of a particular version o...

🎬 Intro # I’ve recently been looking to move all my firewalls from pfSense VMs and Mikrotik hardware to OPNsense. Virtual pfSense has been great for me over many, many years and all the benefits a VM brings to a firewall have helped a lot, such as hypervisor level HA and snapshots. These days, howev...

In the future, computers will not crash due to bad software updates, even those updates that involve kernel code. In the future, these updates will push eBPF code. Friday July 19th provided an unprecedented example of the inherent dangers of kernel programming, and has been called the largest outage...

Neural networks are often thought of as opaque, black-box function approximators, but theoretical tools let us describe and visualize their behavior. In particular, let’s study piecewise-linearity, a property many neural networks share. This property has been studied before, but we’ll try to visuali...

Interacting with SQL databases can be challenging for non-technical team members, often requiring custom-built GUI tools. If you’re not an expert, writing SQL queries can become a barrier to accessing data—this is where AI can help.  What is AskYourDatabase? AskYourDatabase is an AI-powered tool tha...

We just launched the option to enable Same Line Prompt in Warp. Let’s talk about it! Introduction to Same Line Prompt Most classic terminals have an input editor that sits inline with the shell prompt on a single line. By default, Warp’s prompt puts the input editor on a new line that sits below the...

We often get questions about Postgres indexing strategies, and read-only (or read-heavy) tables are especially interesting. This post was actually inspired by this question on Reddit:  “I have a table with about 20 columns that each have Boolean values indicating whether the row has a specific chara...

Last year I broke my elbow. This meant that I had to take a break from programming for about six weeks, and The Secrets of Skellig, my indie game, was put on hold. After a couple of weeks, I recovered enough to do some basic keyboard and mouse movements, and I stumbled on a free game called The Root...

AWS RDS for PostgreSQL is the most widely-used hosted Postgres solution there is, so naturally we hear a lot from developers that use it. While it can be a solid offering, it’s quite lacking when it comes to developer experience, and doesn’t support modern developer workflows. We often hear of devel...

Supabase is now available on the open source JavaScript Registry (JSR).

We are living through an interesting moment in source-available software.1 The open source movement has always had, and continues to have, a solid grounding in grassroots programmers building tools for themselves and forming communities around them. Some looming giants brought on large sums of money...

Working with the filesystem can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. In this post, I’ll walk you through some of the most common filesystem operations using the powerful features introduced in C++17, as well as some new enhancements in C++20/23. Whether you’re creating directories, copying...

Winter is here (in the South America)! Let’s see whats new!

On the Unfold team at Squarespace, our mobile releases don't require much in the way of manual intervention or human oversight. In fact, we don’t have to give releases much thought at all. But, this was not always true. This post is a look into what these non-eventful mobile releases are like, dig i...
