If that’s all you use it for, then that’s all that will be in there. Email is as useful as you make it.

I’m rewriting how my ORM, Nymph.js handles access controls. Right now, it stores the access control vars (user, group, permissions) in the same table as all of the other data, which makes the full text search slow because it has to join the tables multiple times. I’m moving those access controls into the entity tables where all the joins start from, so a simple index can handle that before it even joins the FTS tokens table.
The hard part is going to be migrating existing data in my email service that uses Nymph. It’ll be multiple steps: create the new columns, make sure new entities add that data to both the new columns and the old way, migrate all entities to have the data in both, update the queries to use the new columns and stop storing data the old way, then delete all the old data. It’ll be the opposite of fun, but hopefully once I’m done it’ll be way faster.
I hope 36 isn’t old. I’m about to turn 40.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are programmers so rude to beginners?English
12·17 hours agoEvery industry is like that, but with programming, you’re usually asking online, and people tend to be much bigger assholes online. Try not to let them bother you. Eventually you’ll be better than them, because those people tend to not be that good at what they do anyway.

4·3 days agoYou don’t have to change the color scheme, I would just say open up the color temperature dialog and turn “Original temperature” up and “Intended temperature” down to compensate for the yellow.
Here’s an example:

You can also choose Auto -> White Balance and it usually fixes it up even better:

7·3 days agoIf you use an AI image for your header, just take it into gimp and adjust the colors to get rid of that yellow tint. It’ll look a lot better and not be immediately off putting by being obviously AI.
Using an AI header image also makes me wonder if you wrote the article or just generated it with ChatGPT.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When I first heard of the term "nuclear family", I thought it was referring to the fact that 20 century families had to deal with the constant fear of losing their family to a nuclear bomb.English
25·3 days agoIt refers to the nucleus of the family, which is where the jeans are stored (closet). Every conservative, Christian, god-fearing nuclear family has at least one family member in the closet. Usually, it’s Lindsey Graham. It’s always Lindsey Graham.

Recommendations@lemmy.world•Which streaming device is the least worst?English
11·3 days agoI have a 65” Roku TV from 2017 that works fine, so I’d say they last alright. It’s still way faster than a modern Android TV. It does take screenshots, but that’s one of the bullshit things you can disable.

Programming@programming.dev•"Software Repositories" are Libraries, and "Libraries" are BooksEnglish
4·3 days agoYou are right, but I do want to point at that “library” is based on the Latin word librarium which literally translates to “a place for books”.

22·3 days agoThe term library in the context of software predates software repositories.

It’s basically as old as the computer itself.

72·3 days agoI’m personally a fan of Roku. At least, I don’t hate them. You can disable most of the bullshit. Not all of it, but most of it. The performance is always better than any Android or Fire sticks I’ve tried. For some reason, Android and FireTV always use chips that are just too low powered to perform at all well for their OSes.
