hgamaral··on Ask HN: My family business runs on a 1993-era text-based-UI (TUI). Anybody else?
> It's totally possible to get this done with a web based SPA.

Yeah, I guess I could say that before I tried rebinding ctrl-w and some of the Fx keys (like F12).

hgamaral··on Just use Postgres for everything
It might not be the best tool available, but Timescale's columnar capabalities [0][1] looks great to me. I mean, being able to achieve 90%+ compression on a row-oriented database is not something to be ignored.

> I think because Postgres writes the entire row even if a single column has been updated.

You might want to have a look at HOT [0] tuples if you haven't already.

Sorry, could you please expand on what you mean by "sick"?

Also BR:

- I'm shitting and walking ("estou cagando e andando");

- My as* doesn't even itch ("meu c* nem pinica").

- What about Kiko? ("e o Kiko?" -- trust me this one is hard to explain).

hgamaral··on How to build a low-tech website? (2018)
I just wonder how much energy does it take to serve content over TLS/SSL. Maybe that's another factor to consider when building a "low tech" website.
hgamaral··on Django 4.0 will include a built-in Redis cache back end
Django has always had some magic, although much less than ruby/rails. That kind of magic is the reason why it is a pain to package a Django project with py2exe, for instance.
hgamaral··on Ask HN: Do you have a personal wiki?
I use emacs (doom-emacs distribution) and org-mode. `SPC X` (org-capture) is my go-to keybinding. With it I can take global/local (for each project) notes and todo lists.

I also take notes on my todo items (C-c C-z) when I start a timer for it.

Search is not a big concern, but the fuzzy search (SPC s p) doom-emacs provides is good enough for my use cases.

hgamaral··on FreeBSD 13.0
I wonder why this doesn't work on Manjaro.
