Another tui library I’ve seen lately is iocraft. Although it’s got the classic react/swiftui style.

My completely unqualified position is that manjaro is not more stable than arch, in fact, according to the news manjaro’s changes are just more instability. I’ve been running basic arch & KDE for 6 months now and it hasn’t been perfect. The biggest issue I’ve had so far is; “using the scroll wheel in the KDE start menu will crash the DE” and that was fixed in a day.

I had a fun one this week! I needed to make an SQL query that would aggregate rows by invoice and date, but only aggregate 5 then overflow to a new row. I also needed to access the individual row data because the invoice items weren’t summed, they were displayed on separate columns!

I ask my senior if there’s an easy way to do this, he comes back with “chatgpt says you can assign row numbers then get individual row data with % row number”

I go to Gemini and ask “how to aggregate rows by 5 and get individual row data out?” It says “you can’t” (since when has Ai’s been able to say you can’t do X) So I ask it about the modulo operator and it gives me an example that doesn’t really work. After screwing around for a while I give up and decide I’ll just run this query 3 times. 1 for rows 1-5 then for 6-10 and one more for 11-15 that’s so many rows surely no one will break this.
