That feeling when you're fighting the borrow checker, and then you realise the thing you were trying to do is subtly unsound.

I've been wanting to improve schema management for years, and this is the first step. You can make simple scheme changes lazily now, but we've got lots more exciting things in the pipeline!

Schema migrations suck. But weโ€™re making them easier! New feature shipped on Saturday โœ… Just use Helix.

A few days ago I participated in YC's first 24hour hackathon! Thank you to @dedaluslabs for putting it on. My project is autokut.com, a tool that analyses footage with a script to create annotated clips and a rough cut. I'm hoping to keep developing it so check it out

Exams have delayed me from using them until now, but can I just say that if let chaining is beautiful!

Usually rust projects are just statically linked, but you can pull some cool tricks with dynamic linking, stay tuned (@helixdb )

Its been a great year at #SurrealDB and there's lots more exciting stuff coming!
12 Jul 2024
Congratulations on your #SurrealDB anniversary, @RaphaelDarley. ๐ŸŽ‰ Your expertise and contributions have improved the integration options and techniques available to developers for incorporating SurrealDB into their development ecosystems. Further, your engagement and support on GitHub and Discord have been invaluable to the developer community. Letโ€™s dive into your highlights: โœ… Rewritten the RPC protocol that creates a standard interface for communication over WebSockets, HTTP and through libraries โœ… Built the Node.js SDK to support connections to the database for performing data queries, with ongoing development of the C and Golang SDKs โœ… Built a Discord bot that gives community members access to a custom database instance within a Discord channel, using pre-made data or their own. Users can query the data while engaging with fellow SurrealDB community members. Looking forward to more milestones and successes ahead! ๐Ÿš€

This #UKElection has been a disaster it seems likely that our NHS, education and other social services will continue to suffer. We must take action and not have a last minute scramble, every minute we rest climate obstructionists are destroying our future #ClimateActionNow
