Building a Simple Search Engine That Actually Works

You don't need Elasticsearch for most projects. I built a simple search engine from scratch that tokenizes everything, stores it in your existing database, and scores results by relevance. Dead simple to understand and maintain.

Did you realize that, when using ActiveRecord's enum, it allows you to query for the assigned values and their "not" counterparts?

Archive or delete?

It's common for an email client to have both Archive and Delete buttons. Which means you're essentially forced into developing your own strategy for when to use one or the other. (We could factor in "spam" as well, as that is another option. But I think everyone largely agrees you spam spam.) When GMail launched…

The (lazy) Git UI You Didn't Know You Need

When my son was born last April, I had ambitious learning plans for the upcoming 5w paternity leave. As you can imagine, with two kids, life quickly verified this plan 🙃. I did eventually start some projects. One of the goals (sounding rebellious in the current AI hype cycle) was to learn and use neovim for coding. As a Goland aficionado, I (and my wrist) have always been tempted by no-mouse, OSS, gopls based, highly configurable dev setups.

The continued growth of mastodon.social is putting the #Fediverse in danger (here's why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/).

The quickest, easiest and most effective way to solve this would be if the official apps & website stopped promoting mastodon.social, and instead promoted a rotating selection from a pool of reliable servers with solid track records.

If you're comfortable using Github, please give thumbs up to all these:
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/568
- https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios/issues/1023
- https://github.com/mastodon/joinmastodon/issues/1052

@FediTips
I wandered over here because the categorical server I joined was taken over by people with an agenda, and firm opinions on how everyone else should use the Fediverse. Also rude and threatening, and blocked this which had a half-dozen people I followed or vice versa.

Why did other people choose this server?

Encourage movement: promote specific interest groups.
We do need another photography server. Or three.
