SQLite the only database you will ever need in most cases

QRCode

The only time you need to consider a client-server setup is:

  • Where you have multiple physical machines accessing the same database server over a network. In this setup you have a shared database between multiple clients.
  • If your machine is extremely write busy, like accepting thousand upon thousands of simultaneous write requests every second, then you also need a client-server setup because a client-server database is specifically build to handle that.
  • If you're working with very big datasets, like in the terabytes size. A client-server approach is better suited for large datasets because the database will split files up into smaller files whereas SQLite only works with a single file.

Mini chili dogs: Troy, New York's hyperlocal cuisine.

QRCode

At Famous Lunch, a long, historic counter diner on Congress Street, we bought the special: four mini dogs and an RC Cola, $5.75. We took it home and ripped the franks out of their brown bag, stained with magma-orange “zippy sauce”—delightfully greasy, a little spicy, distinct from any other hot dog I had ever eaten, and gone in one and a half bites.

What’s really remarkable is that Famous is but one of half a dozen or so localized quick-service spots that serve the little dogs and, like many of the other restaurants, they’ve been doing it forever. As their website’s story goes, Famous Lunch opened as the Quick Lunch, but in 1958 a U.S. Marine from Troy stationed at the embassy in Moscow requested some dogs from home. “Operation Hot Dog” became a media sensation, necessitating the name change. Famous stands out a bit from the other wiener vendors because their hot dog grill is—smart—pressed right up against the street-facing window. They keep about six dozen 3-inch dogs sizzling 15 hours a day, alongside a bubbling brown crock of zippy sauce.

Harvesting Birch Bark : 10 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables

QRCode

Birch bark should be harvested in the spring when the sap is running in the trees. However, if done too late in the season the cambium (inner bark) will come off with the outer bark. If the cambium is damaged the tree may die. If done right, a tree will re-grow its bark over the course of 10-20 years. I have heard that the best bark comes from trees that have already been previously harvested, and traditionally people would return to harvest in the same grove over the course of several generations.

Visual design rules you can safely follow every time

QRCode
  • Use near-black and near-white instead of pure black and white
  • Saturate your neutrals
  • If you saturate your neutrals you should use warm or cool colours, not both
  • Use high contrast for important elements
  • Everything in your design should be deliberate
  • Optical alignment is often better than mathematical alignment
  • Lower letter spacing and line height with larger text. Raise them with smaller text
  • Container borders should contrast with both the container and the background
  • Everything should be aligned with something else
  • Colours in a palette should have distinct brightness values
  • Closer elements should be lighter
  • Make drop shadow blur values double their distance values
  • Keep container colours within brightness limits
  • Make horizontal padding twice the vertical padding in buttons
  • Nest corners properly
  • Don’t put two hard divides next to each other

How To Make Irish Soda Bread, Oven-Ready in 10 Minutes - Woman's World

QRCode

3 to 3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk (shake the bottle before pouring)
1 cup raisins
And here are the original instructions from the Stay at Home Chef:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In large bowl whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, salt, and baking soda. Add in your buttermilk and raisins (if using) and stir until it just comes together.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball. Gradually add more flour as necessary to achieve a dough that is firm and not sticky.
Dust the outside with flour and place on an un-greased baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to slash a one inch deep cross on top of the loaf.
Bake in oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

How does one go about designing their own typeface without any experience?

QRCode

https://typedesignresources.com

Designing Type by Karen Cheng is an incredible reference, but its not exactly the best way to get started designing your own type IMO. I'd suggest Designing Fonts by Chris Campe & Ulrike Rausch. It's much more of a practical guide and takes you all the way through the type design process from ideation to sketching to vector drawing and letter spacing.
I also found The Stroke: Theory Of Writing by Gerrit Noordzij really helpful for conceptually understanding how to construct letters.

In addition to Cheng and Beier, get Bergsland Practical Font Design and fontmaking software (such as FontLabs). Have fun! If you want to get fancy, check out TypeDrawers, and The OpenType Cookbook.

Why I Will Never Use Alpine Linux Ever Again

debian-slim

If you’re looking for a general-purpose base image with a reasonable size that’s not based on musl, then you might consider using UBI (Universal Base Image) made by Red Hat, which has only 26.7MB in its "micro" version ( registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8-micro), which is also fairly close to Alpine.

#001 Colour Palettes - by Charlotte Durance

QRCode

I take a lot of photos and save them in a colour folder on my phone. I have found potential palettes in book shops, supermarkets and even restaurant toilet decor!

I often take photos of colour palettes I’ve seen in galleries and museums. Looking back at photos for this post, I’ve realised that I’m repeatedly drawn to certain colour combinations.

I really love using a limited palette. I love the simplicity and impact it can have and the way it can focus attention on particular things.

Never use git submodules

QRCode

git submodules are always the wrong solution. Yes, even the to the problem they were specifically invented to solve.

  • Use git subtree
  • Just have a monorepo
  • Use a package management system, and explicit dependencies
  • Use the multiple repository tool mr
  • Have your build expect to find the dependency in .., its parent dir
  • Provide an ad-hoc in-tree script to download the dependency
