samp and kbd are good for marking up terminal sessions e.g. https://j4e.name/articles/marking-up-terminal-in-html/
mj4e··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
Another vote for Things 3. A simple and very polished to-do app. Really helps me be organised and I wish I could find a calendar app of similar quality/vibe.

Superhuman. Expensive and delightful email.

Velja. Opens URLs in preferred browser (Safari for everything except Meet, which opens in Chrome).

PS - I’m not a developer but really like Zed as a text editor.

mj4e··on Setting up PostgreSQL for running integration tests
With disclaimer I work at Neon, branching might be a good option here. https://neon.tech/docs/guides/branching-test-queries

It’s Postgres.

(Neon PM) instant branching in a development workflow because it's like git but for your database. You can develop or test against an exact copy of production without the risks of testing on production. Autoscaling is useful if the load on your datbase varies (you can save money, even if your app isn't serving millions of users).

The Launch plan includes 300 compute hours. All your computes draw from this, regardless of whether or not it's a primary branch.

For a simple comparison, let's assume you only use 0.25 vCPU computes and your primary compute runs 24/7 (~750 hours per month) to keep the comparison easy:

1. On the Free plan, you can have the primary running 24/7 plus an additional 20 hours for other branches.

2. On the Launch plan, you can have the primary running 24/7 plus an additional 450 hours for other branches. And of course the 10 GiB storage + other paid features.

(Neon PM) If your project uses less than 500 MiB storage, our Free plan might be the best plan for you. If your project needs more storage, branches or larger compute then a paid plan might be a better fit: with Launch you can run your project 24/7 at $19/month.

(Neon PM) saddened to read this if I can help with anything you can reach me directly mike@neon.tech
mj4e··on Neon Serverless Postgres is generally available
(Neon PM) This is true and very often production applications need access to their database 24/7, so they benefit from the serverless nature of autoscaling.

(Neon PM) Do you have have an idea of the RAM or compute your application needs Many applications can run 24/7 with 1 GiB RAM on the Launch plan at $19/month.

mj4e··on Neon serverless Postgres new pricing plans
Neon are updating their pricing plans. I always found it hard to estimate how much a workload would cost-this makes it a little clearer.

It's right at the top of the Mac App Store as 'featured' with this story. Yet somehoe it doesn't include an install link!

Thanks. Is it not available from Apple directly though?

mj4e··on An End, and a Beginning
The podcast is a fantastic listen (I started from the beginning recently).

And the product had so much promise - one of those I wanted to use but it practice found the gesture’s challenging.
