This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam Your Iphone can now celebrate the Solstace! When you have a hammer- everything is a nail! This installment brings a Flutter build running on IOS! A complete IOS App is built using Flutter with Xcode and some Joystick bugs are fixed! What I Built When it comes to Summar Solstace — the place to be is Sweden. It is one of the highlights of the calendar. This project aimed to recreate some of the mystique around the event- just in time for some fresh surestromming! Now you can get it on the GO! In a previous article, the web app was refactored to be Flutter compatible. This installment adds an IOS build from the Flutter code base and deploys it to an Iphone. Code GitHub repo is here: GitHub - xbill9/midsommer-flutter: Midsommer Madness game in Flutter / Web view Midsommer Madness game in Flutter / Web view The first version of the article built the app out as a web based game: Midsommer Madness Then, the app was converted to Android: Android Midsommer Madness And finally to Flutter: Flutter Midsommer Madnesss Game Play The key levels include: IKEA Warehouse: Battle crowded, flatpack-carrying shoppers who throw box projectiles at you. Systembolaget: The state-owned liquor shop crowded with drunk Swedes stumbling and lobbing green beer bottles. Lördagsgodis: Sugar rush Saturday! Dodge hyperactive, strung-out Swedish kids throwing sweet candy projectiles. The Swedish Pub: Sing along with Frank Zappa fans singing “Bobby Brown” (shouting and firing glowing letters B, O, B, B, Y). Volvo Highway: A survival lane-crossing level where… My Lingonberries are ripening- get to work! How do you deploy this? To build for IOS- you need a recent Mac system with Xcode tools installed along with Flutter. You can use standard Mac installs for Xcode and Flutter is available directly or via Homebrew. The build environment will look similar to this: The Makefile included with the project has IOS targets: m3:midsommer-flutter xbill$ make help

I Cut My Next.js + Supabase App Load Time by 73% - Here Are the 5 Techniques That Actually Worked Last month, our SaaS dashboard was embarrassingly slow . 4.2 seconds to load the main page. Users were complaining. Conversion rates were tanking. Today? 1.1 seconds . 73% faster. Here's exactly what worked (and what didn't). The Problem: Death by a Thousand Database Calls Our dashboard showed user projects, team members, recent activity, and notifications. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Each component was making its own database calls. The projects list fetched projects, then made separate calls for each project's stats. The activity feed loaded events, then fetched user details for each event. Classic N+1 query problem, but worse. Technique #1: Strategic Data Fetching Consolidation Before: 47 database calls to load the dashboard After: 3 database calls The fix wasn't fancy. We consolidated related data into single queries using Supabase's nested select syntax: // ❌ Before: Multiple separate calls const projects = await supabase . from ( ' projects ' ). select ( ' * ' ) const stats = await Promise . all ( projects . map ( p => supabase . from ( ' project_stats ' ). select ( ' * ' ). eq ( ' project_id ' , p . id )) ) // ✅ After: Single consolidated call const projects = await supabase . from ( ' projects ' ) . select ( ` *, project_stats(*), team_members(count), recent_activity:activities(*, user:users(name, avatar_url)) ` ) . limit ( 10 ) Result: Dashboard load time dropped from 4.2s to 2.8s (33% improvement) Technique #2: Aggressive Caching with Smart Invalidation Most dashboard data doesn't change every second. We implemented a three-tier caching strategy: // Static data: Cache indefinitely const categories = await supabase . from ( ' categories ' ) . select ( ' * ' ) . cache ({ revalidate : false }) // Semi-static data: Cache with revalidation const userProjects = await supabase . from ( ' projects ' ) . select ( ' * ' ) . eq ( ' user_id ' , userId ) . cache ({ revali

Next.js + Supabase Performance Optimization: From Slow to Lightning Fast Last month, I optimized a Next.js + Supabase application that was frustratingly slow. Initial page load took 4.2 seconds, Lighthouse performance score was 62, and users were complaining. After applying these optimization techniques, we achieved: 70% faster load times (4.2s → 1.3s) Lighthouse score of 96 (up from 62) LCP improved by 65% (3.8s → 1.3s) 50% reduction in database queries Here's exactly how we did it. The Starting Point: Measuring Performance Before optimizing anything, we measured current performance using: Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools): Performance: 62 First Contentful Paint (FCP): 2.1s Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): 3.8s Total Blocking Time (TBT): 420ms Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): 0.18 Real User Monitoring: Average page load: 4.2s Time to Interactive: 5.1s Database query time: 850ms average The Problems: Unoptimized database queries No caching strategy Large JavaScript bundles Unoptimized images Blocking render paths Too many client-side fetches Let's fix each one. 1. Database Query Optimization Problem: N+1 Queries The biggest performance killer was N+1 queries. We were fetching posts, then fetching the author for each post individually. // ❌ Bad: N+1 queries (1 + N database calls) async function getPosts () { const { data : posts } = await supabase . from ( ' posts ' ) . select ( ' id, title, author_id ' ) // Fetching author for each post = N queries const postsWithAuthors = await Promise . all ( posts . map ( async ( post ) => { const { data : author } = await supabase . from ( ' users ' ) . select ( ' name, avatar ' ) . eq ( ' id ' , post . author_id ) . single () return { ... post , author } }) ) return postsWithAuthors } Impact: 50 posts = 51 database queries (850ms total) Solution: Use Joins // ✅ Good: Single query with join (1 database call) async function getPosts () { const { data : posts } = await supabase . from ( ' posts ' ) . select ( ` id, title, author:users(nam

A few days ago I finished benchmarking something I've been building - a cache-aware, stable, histogram-based sorting algorithm I'm calling BusSort . The results surprised even me. At 100 million elements, it runs ~2x faster than Java's Dual-Pivot Quicksort on random data - while being stable . Dual-Pivot QS is not. The Problem With Quicksort at Scale Quicksort-based algorithms partition elements with random writes across the entire array. At large scales this causes cache thrashing - elements are being written to memory locations all over the place, constantly missing L1 and L2 cache. The larger the array, the worse it gets. The Core Idea Instead of scattering elements globally, BusSort processes data in L1 cache-sized chunks - 4096 integers (~16KB). For each chunk, it does 4 passes: PASS 1 - Scan left-to-right, compute bucket for each element, build a local histogram PASS 2 - Compute local prefix sums (bucket positions within the chunk) PASS 3 - Scatter into a local grouped buffer - because this buffer is L1-sized, all random writes stay in cache ✅ PASS 4 - Copy each bucket's portion to its correct global position With 128-way splitting , recursion depth stays at just ~4 levels even for 100M elements. Base case: Insertion Sort for ≤ 1024 elements. On the benchmark machine (i5-1135G7, 48KB L1 data cache): 4096 × 3 × 4 bytes = 49,152 bytes ≈ 48KB The three working arrays fit exactly in L1. Not a coincidence. Benchmark Results Tested against Arrays.sort(int[]) - Java's Dual-Pivot Quicksort . n = 100,000,000 | Java 17 | i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz Input Type BusSort Dual-Pivot QS Ratio Random 3991ms 8604ms ~2x Sorted 57ms 104ms ~2x Reverse 280ms 166ms 0.6x Nearly Sorted 2452ms 2789ms ~1.1x Duplicates 712ms 2242ms ~2.4x Few Duplicates 1295ms 3185ms ~2.3x All Same 51ms 32ms 0.6x Clustered 1419ms 2242ms ~1.6x Consistently faster on most input types.

なぜ“特別な決済システム”の話は危険なのか？ 近年、SNSやメッセージアプリを通じて、「特別なPOS端末」や「秘密の決済システム」に関する話を目にすることがあります。 「通常の銀行システムを経由しない」 「オフラインでも大金を受け取れる」 「特別なカードと専用POSがあれば送金できる」 こうした説明は一見すると高度な金融技術のように聞こえます。 しかし、実際の決済システムを理解すると、多くの主張が現実的ではないことが分かります。 まず、POS端末とは何か？ POS（Point of Sale）端末は、店舗でクレジットカードやデビットカードによる支払いを処理するための装置です。 一般的な決済は以下のような流れで行われます。 顧客 ↓ POS端末 ↓ 加盟店契約銀行 ↓ カードブランド ↓ カード発行銀行 ↓ 承認または拒否 重要なのは、最終的な資金の確認を行うのはカード発行銀行であるという点です。 POS端末そのものが資金を生み出すことはありません。 「オフライン決済だから大丈夫」は本当か？ 一部の詐欺では、 「この端末はオフラインで動作する」 という説明が行われます。 確かに、現実の決済システムにはオフライン処理が存在します。 しかし、それは通信障害時の一時的な仕組みであり、最終的には銀行側との照合が行われます。 つまり、 オフライン処理 ≠ 資金の創造 です。 銀行が承認していない資金は、後の精算時に拒否される可能性があります。 なぜ人は信じてしまうのか？ 理由は単純です。 専門用語が多いからです。 例えば、 決済ネットワーク 国際ブランド オフライン認証 ISO規格 特殊プロトコル こうした言葉が並ぶと、本物らしく見えます。 しかし、本当に重要なのは技術用語ではありません。 重要なのは、 「お金はどこから来るのか？」 という一点です。 詐欺を見抜くための3つの質問 1. お金の出所はどこか？ 利益や送金の原資を説明できない場合は要注意です。 2. 誰が監督しているのか？ 銀行、決済事業者、規制当局など、責任主体が明確か確認しましょう。 3. 第三者による検証は可能か？ 説明が内部関係者の証言だけに依存している場合は危険です。 テクノロジーと金融リテラシー 新しい技術は私たちの生活を便利にします。 しかし、技術的な言葉が使われているからといって、その仕組みが正しいとは限りません。 本当に優れた金融サービスほど、 透明性が高い 説明が分かりやすい リスクが明示されている という特徴があります。 逆に、 「秘密」 「特別」 「限定」 「誰にも教えないでほしい」 といった言葉が頻繁に出てくる場合は、一度立ち止まって考えるべきです。 まとめ 金融詐欺の多くは、技術ではなく心理を利用します。 人々はお金を失うから騙されるのではありません。 「理解したつもりになる」から騙されるのです。 だからこそ、最も重要な防御策は、 「そのお金はどこから来るのか？」 というシンプルな質問を忘れないことです。 金融の世界に魔法はありません。 あるのは、透明な仕組みと説明可能な資金の流れだけです。

I Built a Git Sync Tool for My Obsidian Vault You write notes, you save them, you forget to push to GitHub. Then your laptop dies, and your notes are gone. I built a single Bash script that automates the entire sync workflow, and it works with any Git repo. If you use Obsidian (or any plain-text note-taking system) and sync via Git, you know the drill: write notes, stage changes, commit, fetch, check status, pull, push. Every time. It's 6 repetitive commands that you will inevitably skip until disaster strikes. I got tired of this and built git-sync , a single Bash script that does everything in one go. What It Does git-sync is a terminal-based Git sync tool that: Auto-commits all changes with a timestamp Fetches remote state Detects divergence (ahead/behind) Shows you only the relevant sync options Executes your choice with safety guard rails How It Works Run it from inside any Git repo: ./git-sync Phase 1 - Auto-commit: Staged or unstaged changes are committed automatically with a message like "Last Sync: Jun-12 (Arch)" . The device name is configurable. Phase 2 - Fetch & Detect: It fetches from remote, counts how many commits ahead and behind you are, and categorises the state: ahead, behind, diverged, or in-sync. Phase 3 - Smart Menu: Only relevant options are shown: State Options Ahead only Upload, Sync, Force push, Cancel Behind only Download, Sync, Hard reset, Cancel Diverged All six options Phase 4 - Execute: The chosen action runs with a spinner and status messages. Destructive operations (force push, hard reset) require explicit confirmation. Why It's Useful for Notes Syncing Obsidian + Git is a powerful combo. Your notes are plain markdown, version-controlled, accessible from any device. The friction is the sync ritual. git-sync removes it. Multi-device workflows: I run this on my Arch desktop (DEVICE_NAME="Arch") and my work laptop (DEVICE_NAME="Laptop"). The auto-commit message tells me exactly which machine made each sync, so I can trace conflicts back

Something is slow. Maybe a page takes forever to load, maybe a migration is hanging, maybe your Supabase dashboard just spins. You suspect a query is stuck somewhere in your database, but you can't see what's happening — Postgres doesn't exactly surface this on its own. Turns out it does. You just need to ask. Seeing what's running Postgres keeps track of every active connection and what it's doing in a system view called pg_stat_activity . You can query it like any table: SELECT pid , state , query , age ( clock_timestamp (), query_start ) AS duration FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state != 'idle' ORDER BY duration DESC ; That gives you every non-idle process — its process ID, current state, the SQL it's running, and how long it's been at it. If something has been running for minutes when it should take milliseconds, you've found your problem. A few things worth knowing about the columns: pid — the process ID, which you'll need if you want to kill it state — usually active (running right now), idle in transaction (sitting inside an open transaction doing nothing), or idle (waiting for work) query — the actual SQL text query_start — when the current query began If you want to include the user and database to narrow things down: SELECT pid , usename , datname , state , query , age ( clock_timestamp (), query_start ) AS duration FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state != 'idle' ORDER BY duration DESC ; The dangerous one — idle in transaction An active query that's been running for a while is usually just slow. An idle in transaction connection is a different kind of problem — it means someone (or some code) opened a transaction and never committed or rolled it back. The connection is doing nothing, but it's still holding locks, which can block other queries from running. These are the ones that tend to cause cascading slowdowns. If you see one that's been sitting there for longer than expected, it's almost certainly a bug in application code — a missing COMMIT , an unhandled e
