I tried 3 different AI models to build a speech-to-markdown app with #svelte. Interesting to see that Gemini and Claude kind of messed up but Cursor did great. www.apptornado.com/blog/buildin...
SpeechDown: Building a speech-to-markdown app with three coding agents
I tested three different LLM coding agents head-to-head on the same task. What I found surprised me.

I am working on a SQL tool ("SQG") for @duckdb.org and #sqlite. SQG can generate typesafe code from SQL queries. Currently for Typescript, Java JDBC and Java @arrow.apache.org API.

We created it while working on @bluefacts.app, I hope others find it useful aswell !

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay.
And Happy New Year! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...

I performed one mother-of-all-commits in our repo last year 😅 (that means > 1,000 files changed, in this case it was a big restructuring of the folder structure of a part of our codebase)

The @atproto.com git repo year in review! Steady stream of commits throughout the year.
@matthieu.bsky.team has the most commits and the top filetypes are .ts, .md and .json files.

Serious take: the solution to Safe Browsing false positives like the Immich one is passkeys.

Phishing regularly upends people's lives. The Safe Browsing cat-and-mouse with all its opaque false positives will be necessary until we roll out phishing-resistant auth.

Just updated my Java dataframe test & benchmark. @andrus.adamchik.org contributed an implementation for DFLib, which is now the fastest Java dataframe (not counting @duckdb.org which is much faster, but doesn't give you the dataframe syntax)
