After switching from Windows to macOS I was looking for a simple screenshots taking tool to support my daily workflow. The built-in tools offered by macOS are not sufficient for me, mainly because of the image annotating tools and limited keyboard shortcuts support.

The command-line based “PostgreSQL interactive terminal” known as psql is handy for manipulating and accessing data in a PostgreSQL database. Because of its command-line nature, psql is particularly well suited for use in scripts. One of the psql features that makes it even more useful in scripting contexts is its support for “meta-commands”. As the psql documentation states, “Anything you ...

During the last four years, until the early part of 2018, I worked on a MacBook. Sometime in the second quarter of last year, I shifted to a Windows 10 laptop. The transition has been quite smooth and delightful. There were two Rails applications that I had to write and maintain. The first application, let’s call it webapp-1, was coded ...

PostgreSQL‘s psql interactive terminal tool provides several useful “backslash list commands” such as \d (lists “relations” such as tables, views, indexes, and sequences), \dt (lists tables), \di (lists indexes), \ds (lists sequences), \dv (lists views), \df (lists functions), \du (lists roles), and \?
