## [VimConf 2020 Live](https://www.vimconf.live/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One small good point on everything that is going around is the amount of
|
||
|
|
conferences going live.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And now there is VimConf going live.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the incredible amount of $0.

## [We Can Do Better Than SQL](https://edgedb.com/blog/we-can-do-better-than-sql/)
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
"Hear, hear! Our product has a better thing than the rest of world! We
|
||
|
|
promise!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although I can understand that SQL is not perfect -- I mean, do anyone know
|
||
|
|
and know how to use all the join types? -- but it is one thing saying "our
|
||
|
|
system is better" when you can clearly see that the request needs information
|
||
|
|
beyond what you're showing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Surely, your queries may be simple, but how much work there is when creating
|
||
|
|
the database for making that query possible? What proper cases does it match
|
||
|
|
and where does it make things harder? I can cite Rust as an example: It makes
|
||
|
|
possible to write parallel code correctly, but due this it is really hard to
|
||
|
|
write something like a linked list without running into some issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So yeah, your query is magical, but not showing where it falls flat gives zero
|
||
|
|
information about if I want to use it or not. SQL has its drawbacks, but there
|
||
|
|
are known and documented.

## [git branch --delete master](https://danso.ca/blog/git-branch-delete/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No Master Branches, No God Branches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is kinda related to the other link shared 2 months ago, but gives an
|
||
|
|
explanation on how to kill your master branch and use something else.

## [Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates](https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-rename-microsoft-excel-misreading-dates)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What point we reached when science has to bow to the whims of technology...

## [OpenJDK Comes to Windows 10 on ARM](https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/08/openjdk-win10-arm/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you had any doubts that ARM is the platform for the future, there are two
|
||
|
|
points here that may make you rethink:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- There is Java 10 for ARM.
|
||
|
|
- There is a _Windows_ for ARM.

## [Rewritten in Rust: Modern Alternatives of Command-Line Tools](https://zaiste.net/posts/shell-commands-rust/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I shared a list like this before, but I keep forgetting to install `hyperfine`
|
||
|
|
and I had to use `grex` once and forgot their names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, once again, in the hopes I'll remember to check my blog first.

## [Polars: Rust DataFrames](https://github.com/ritchie46/polars)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Data science in Rust. I didn't believe it was possible, but I can see the
|
||
|
|
first steps here.
|
||
|
|

|
## [WindowSwap](https://window-swap.com/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is one hell of a cool project, even if not directly linked to programming
|
||
|
|
itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
People put cameras on their windows and you can check them, randomly.
