In defence of correctness

Not all software needs to be correct, but a large subset does.

This LLM deep dive from @karpathy is so interesting to watch, I learned a lot and hat lots of fun. Defenitly one of the better movies to watch on an evening:

Auf Wunsch der Naturarium Community gibt es deep dive Gartenthemen jetzt separat in einer eigenen Kolumne: im Hortarium! ❤️ In der ersten Ausgabe schauen wir uns an, wie man auch mit wenig Platz was für Bestäuber & Co. machen kann:

Nice write-up about lots of postgreSQL tips by @hibachrach

However, I had to follow her advice given in the text:

> If you don’t understand, then you probably won’t make the mistake.

So I did not fully understand all sections but I had fun reading it anyway and had the feeling I learned a bit

What I Wish Someone Told Me About Postgres

I’ve been working professionally for the better part of a decade on web apps and, in that time, I’ve had to learn how to use a lot of different systems and tools. During that education, I found that the official documentation typically proved to be the most helpful.

I just read this nice article while waiting for my tram:

"Greppability is an underrated code metric"

https://morizbuesing.com/blog/greppability-code-metric/

Maybe it seems a bit trivial, but one should keep that in mind on every line of code one writes. Or as a colleague of mine says:

"A variable name must not be good, it must just be unique so we can easily change it later, when we figured out what a good name is"

Greppability is an underrated code metric

Keeping your codebase searchable will make your maintenance life easier in the long run

A colleague pointed me to https://plotly.com/javascript/3d-surface-plots/
The demo looks promising, but I haven't found the time to try it out yet
3d

Over 9 examples of 3D Surface Plots including changing color, size, log axes, and more in JavaScript.

Do you know any JavaScript library that allows to plot 3D graphs? I was using dygraphs and uplot so far but both seem not to be able to plot 3D data. Thanks for your help.

Javascript got a new keyword `using` . In principle its mostly like `with` in python

I read through the "Hypermodern Python" series by Claudio Jolowicz in the last days. Its already 4 years old (so not that hypermodern anymore 😉 )but it is still interesting and I use many of the ideas and tools (or similar tools) daily in my work:

On the other hand I saw hat every tool more is a probable source of a problem. So I prefer pip+venv over poetry and do not use nox as I usually only support one python version.

I am probably late in the game but this article helped me understanding a lot about UUIDs and what problems may arise if you use them as primary keys
