Hey everyone🥰
I’ve been working on something special that I’m super excited to share with you. I wanted to create something that truly connects with us and offers long-term use. I’ve always loved accessories like notebooks, sticky notes, and more, but I often struggle to find the perfect notebook at stationery stores. So, I teamed up with a friend to create some beautiful custom notebooks and there’s more exciting stuff on the way!
We’ve got some really interesting things especially for tech people. Our notebooks are not only Reusable but also have custom slots for ATM cards, sticky notes, and more at the back.
Order yours now and get your hands on these unique, thoughtfully designed notebooks🥰
Use this username to order @Lunanote1 and to know the details of the product.
Thank you🥰🥰

So when I continue my idea
You should really spend more time with the people that will definitely give you something you don't have and you don't know.
My way of thinking on business has been shifted 180, I always says I don't wanna be a manager or something like that I used to say I am the tech guy only ntg more. But this wasn't me at all.
I have matured my way out of that silly nerdy thoughts. I still spend more time on my computer but only to make money and the rest is just got my curiosity.
I don't have a fear of missing out(FOMO), I am not interested to learn the skill that everyone one I meet have. I don't put my time on some silly personal projects and lie my way out of real projects.
You gotta attract the money in any ways but don't hurt others in your way.
The more you spend on working for money the more you are making your future self so much comfortable.
Feel free to work on side projects for sure but don't ever compromise your real job on the way.
Most dev thoughts are gonna led you just a developer nothing more.
If you really want to be more than that you gotta escape that mindset and achieve more targets.
Anyways in the coming days, weeks and months you will see me succeed and fail frequently since I am trying a lot of new opportunities.

The way I think about software development has been changed a lot.
Here is some of the ideas
- if you can do deligate your work to others, do it wisely and take care of your them(take care of them bedemb and pay them well)
- programming language fight is for nerds, if it can make you money and quickly do it ASAP and you can rewrite it later when you get customers that pays you well.
- don't be afraid of failurity since it is just the beginning of success.
- be good towards others and try to understand others when they are a bit slow on catching up things. Put your self in thier position, don't say a words that will hurt them instead show them how it is done.
.... To be continued after my breakfast 😁

Hey fam!
Your boy's been cooking something special - just open-sourced Muday:
https://github.com/chapimenge3/Muday (NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED YET)
What's Muday? It's that Ethiopian expense tracker that'll read your bank SMS and judge your spending habits (looking at you, coffee addicts 👀). Works with Telebirr, CBE, and more!
🛠 Wanna join the fun?
Get Flutter (I managed, so can you 😅)
Clone & open the repo
Let Flutter plugin do its magic
Find main.dart and hit run!
Got ideas? Check plan.json and plan.md - I wrote them wearing my serious hat 🎩
We're building cool stuff like SMS parsing (my comfort zone 🎉), AI categorization, and cloud sync. Plus some frontend magic I'm still figuring out!
Come laugh at my Flutter commits and maybe build something awesome for Ethiopia!
P.S.: If you spot backend patterns in Flutter code... no you didn't 🙈

This channel is not for advertising please guys don't except me to share an advertisement post or anything.
This is just a place where I(Chapi) share my thoughts, my way of thinking, my advice and related stuff to some of lovely people who want to hear more from me.
The more I reject your advertising requests the more I am feeling guilty.
My audience didn't come here for hearing your advertisement also I never advertised them to be here.
So don't expect me to share everything you want to advertise.
Some advertisment are good for my audience so when I got those(based on my judgement I share them)
Apart from that have a great Monday.
Lets get to work

I was working on my personal projects for analysis expense tracking application for specifically Ethiopians and I am dying on the designs.
This is fully personal projects and if you have done expenses tracking application design before eski share it with me so that I can try it. I would love to have
- Color for light and dark theme
- Fonts (or I will use one randomly)
- the design itself for home, transaction list, transaction details, analytics, profile and many more if possible
Like I was thinking to even have a wallet kind of idea for each banks as a slide.
Like CBE, Telebirr, and others expenditures as well.
Also one master wallet for looking all the income and expenses.
I also wanna have some charts and support for firebase synching with your all devices.
But all the data at first is device based fully locally working.
Anyways shoot your designs and let's make this happen 😜.
Specifically design gurus 🙏😜😜

Hello everyone, if you have heard or attended this Codenight pod - about half an hour in I start talking about BITCOIN and the power it has to transform Ethiopia - from completely reversing inflation to closing the trade deficent in the country - but I also highlight that how this is only possible if it is nationalized and the Ethiopian Gov started utilizing the stranded power itself or allowing locals to get involved - you can see the proposal on bitcoin.com.et - since then a lot has happened, corrupt EEP officals have allowed a flood of foreign bitcoin miners that are lobbying the gov to create evil policies like: dont allow locals to mine but only foreigners (causing money that wouldve stayed in the country to flee), convincing the gov to not get involved in any capacity (by bribing and claiming fake risk), and corruptly buying power for super cheap prices from the AA grid that actually steals power from the population (instead of stranded power).
I am trying my best to highlight what is actaully going on and how to fix it by starting a discussion on twitter. It would help a lot if you read it, and if you agree, share and like the tweet and show it to any person of consequence you know (be it a gov offical, or anyone with a microphone) before the entire world beats us from acquiring Bitcoin. projectmano highlights a way to skip the industrial phase and have a rich nation in under 3 years if implemented and not hijaced by corrupt politicans and miners. Its our home - we have to try what we can than see our lunch get eaten in front of our faces.

It really challenges me to write a really good readable service worker in nextjs that works with sqlite processing on the browser.
If you know any good resources I would love to read.
Service worker is annoying from browser to browser so I changed it to Web Workers and still some browser doesn't support it 😭.
Am using nextjs only for it's file based routing. I wish others meta framework just gives me as simple as nextjs 😁. How lazy I am when it comes to the front-end
Anyways I am really looking for a good resource for the frontend that I can achieve processing and synching data in the background like service worker suppose to do.
Send it in the comments please

So to begin with am really sorry really
Secondly I am extremely disappointed by the organizers of GDG DevFest Addis by thier organizations skill and the thing they did to my talk.
If people demands you give it to them tricking or forcing them not to attend is just a retard way.
I always knew GDG Events are one of the best in Ethiopia but this year they fail miserably.
Our event series Developer Meetup V2 was sooooo much better and fun.
Anyways because of this we might need to show them how to prepare a great event and may be if the organizers of Developer Meetup V series are up for it 😜
Anyways for those of who showed up and attended the event Thank you very and glad to meet you all my people 🙏.
Out streaming series is also coming back

Show HN: Embed an SQLite database in your PostgreSQL table (Score: 150+ in 11 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6icWC
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6icWC
pglite-fusion is a PostgreSQL extension that allows you to embed SQLite databases into your PostgreSQL tables by enabling the creation of columns with the `SQLITE` type. This means every row in the table can have an embedded SQLite database.
In addition to the PostgreSQL `SQLITE` type, pglite-fusion provides the `query_sqlite`` function for querying SQLite databases and the `execute_sqlite` function for updating them. Additional functions are listed in the project’s README.
The pglite-fusion extension is written in Rust using the pgrx framework [1].
----
Implementation Details
The PostgreSQL `SQLITE` type is stored as a CBOR-encoded `Vec<u8>`. When a query is made, this `Vec<u8>` is written to a random file in the `/tmp` directory. SQLite then loads the file, performs the query, and returns the result as a table containing a single row with an array of JSON-encoded values.
The `execute_sqlite` function follows a similar process. However, instead of returning query results, it returns the contents of the SQLite file (stored in `/tmp`) as a new `SQLITE` instance.

Based on @frectonz recommendation to change it to sqlite it might get me a huge performance on processing part of the big csv, since file size doesn't matter for us but the speed is a huge gain for us.
plus there were a lot of duplication in the csv rows and we didn't notice that until today.
after a bit of experiment even tho the sqlite file size increased i think the query time is much faster than the normal looping so i think i am changing the approach a bit.
So the idea is to merge and process 4 csv file so i am going to change 3 csv to sqlite and looping through one csv and getting the file from other 3 might be the best approach i have at the moment.
just like
tho this doesn't help much for file downloading part but i think it's a good start for processing part.
anyways thanks @frectonz for the recommendation it super cool to have such community.

just like
for i in big_csv:
result_1 = cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = {i}")
result_2 = cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = {i}")
result_3 = cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = {i}")
# do something with the result

Story of My Recent Days
I was working with a very large csv data, and i want to merge 4 very large csv files based on one col and pandas wasn't able to handle it so i decided to change my approach and process the files separately.
The thing is there is 2 tasks that have to be done on it
1. Process it and add to DB based on all the files [CPU Bound]
2. Download file and upload it to S3 and update the column with the S3 link [IO Bound]
So the first task is really fast since it all depends on the CPU i kinda get a good speed optimization already but the second task is taking more than one day to finish. Here is the bummer the task have to run every day 😂 and it is taking more than a day to complete the task.
But i come up with the solution to use multiple machine and separate out the task to handle the IO bound tasks like downloading and uploading file.
When i say downloading file i am talking about millions of files don't ask me why the bottom line is i have to download it and upload it to S3.
Anyways I just separate out processing of the files to multiple files and i am using asyncio to its peak and not to get blocked by the websites too.
Now it is gonna cut down to half the time to process the files and i am happy with it.
Moral of the story is if you are dealing with IO Bound Task may be try multiple machine to handle it.
I have got couple of more stories to share but too lazy to write it down 😂.

You can only know what makes your program slow after first getting the program to give correct results, then running it to see if the correct program is slow. When found to be slow, profiling can show what parts of the program are consuming most of the time. A comprehensive but quick-to-run test suite can then ensure that future optimizations don't change the correctness of your program. In short:
1. Get it right.
2. Test it's right.
3. Profile if slow.
4. Optimise.
5. Repeat from 2.

SO guys please prove that you are worthy in your skill not attending every single workshop or asking every single freelancer you met.
So many desperate people but put the effort you are putting on these conference to upwork or any freelance platform.
Am not saying the workshop doesn't help but attending every single workshop is not the way.

Just wondering do you really think that this is a really good business strategy. For now it will work since there might not be a good option but when they do I believe it's like a snap in the finger
