We're all learning how to ship more side projects. If you're "in the bubble" it can feel like everyone is repo-maxxing. Shipping weekly. Spinning up agents to scaffold full apps overnight. New OSS dropped every Friday. The reality I see with most developers is much more normal: They have six or seven repos sitting in various states of half-attention. A side project from last year that still gets a

When you use window functions in SQL, you can't filter their results directly in a WHERE or HAVING clause — that's a well‑known limitation across many databases. GBase 8a, the China‑domestically developed MPP database from GBASE, solves this elegantly with the QUALIFY clause. Let's break down how it works, what it can do, and where you need to be careful. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS emp; CREATE TABLE emp

As data grows, you'll likely need to add nodes to your existing GBase 8a MPP cluster without downtime.

Existing cluster: A healthy GBase 8a cluster New node: A server with a static IP address configured Network: All nodes must be able to communicate with each other Stop services on all existi
Background A nasty surprise Last summer while trying to deliver a feature for one of our customers, I encountered a nasty situation. The software we were developing, depended on a production grade license of Gurobi. People were on vacations except of my team and some unrelated staff, so developing the feature was in principle blocked. As I learnt due to some other situations, research
Claude Code is powerful. Without structure around it, every session starts cold, plans live in chat history, and the spec you cared about is buried in a thread you will never re-read. I built Arness because I got tired of two things at once: the ad-hoc-prompting ceiling, and the ceremony every framework adds when it tries to fix it. It is an open-source Claude Code plugin marketplace, and you driv
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on lately. The premise is simple: every time we share a photo or a document, we inadvertently leak a massive amount of personal data — from home GPS coordinates to camera serial numbers and even the edit history of a PDF. Using "online privacy services" to clean your files always felt like a paradox to me (sending private data to a s
