• Test Driving a Rails API - Part One

  A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Full Stack Chat App with Socket.io

  I was using Postgres.app, but of course, you can download it in any way as long as it works. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Building Secure Neon-Infused Web Apps with Auth0, Express, and EJS

  There are two ways to connect with the Postgres database which can be in the terminal or using a Postgres GUI client app like DBeaver. But first, download the PostgreSQL installer for macOS or Windows, depending on your OS. The setup and installation come with the psql command, a tool shipped with Postgres that allows you to communicate with Postgres through the command line. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Postgres: Opinionated Rules-of-Thumb and Gotchas

  6a. Even stricter option is an "append-only" aka "timeseries" schema, which I highly recommend. Can't remember the last time I didn't use one. 7. If you happen to be testing on a Mac, https://postgresapp.com/ is easier than the MacPorts or Homebrew packages. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• SQLite-based databases on the Postgres protocol? Yes we can

• HELP PLEASE: MAC AIR ULTRA SLOW CPU

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch. It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

• After dreaming of Al Gore's setup for 15 years, finally I got this:

  Don't do this on my behalf but if you're ever curious yourself, on some other date, you can use iStat Menu among other utilities or readers to check GPU utilization, thats a lot easier to read than Activity Monitor. If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• ACC + Steam working great with apple's game porter

  Fantastic! I read that it is an M1, but what model and configuration exactly is it? If you like and are curious, install this app https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/, it tells you everything, temperature, fan RPM, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• MacBook Pro keeps heating up really fast.

  You can monitor the internal temperatures with iStat Menus or similar, but there's really no need. The system automatically adjusts fan speed to cool itself off when needed. Source: about 1 year ago
