til VS privatize

Some people create single note for each code example, like for example this TIL a repo https://github.com/jbranchaud/til`

That's more like it. This backs up the decision to add a B-Tree index for the created_at column in production. As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, adding an index like this in any production setting, but especially for a table of this size, it is important to do so concurrently and to monitor your app's health metrics during the process.

State machines are hierarchical. They can be made up of simple and composite states. Composite states have sub-states nested within them.

In all the time that I've been building and maintaining Rails apps, I've somehow never noticed that ActiveRecord attributes backed by columns with default values are nil on create.

Dump them in a github repo (like this)

I partially encrypt/decrypt a file based on the presence of special HEREDOCs (ie <The tool is still a WIP as it isn't portable between machines -- https://github.com/higgins/privatize

Yes!

I keep a daily log tracked in git. All of it public although some information is encrypted with my privatization tool (https://github.com/higgins/privatize).

The log itself is a simple org file but I parse and render it in html here so that I can share important event dates (eg: my wedding) with my family and friends.

Here is what I did yesterday:

ooo, good call out. thanks!

currently i only have one warning in place if I forget to close there heredoc: https://github.com/higgins/privatize/blob/main/index.js#L168

but could add some more error checking. added to TODOs: https://github.com/higgins/privatize/commit/9696f30576897898...

When added to a git repo, it will automatically transparently encrypt/decrypt files you want privatized.

For example if you configured your repo to privatize the file `example.txt`, you could write:

```
