Coding with Cursor - 🤯

TL;DR: impressive 🤯

I wanted to play with D3 to create a visualization, so I picked an example (Bubble chart) and then started hacking at it (literally) in VS Code. Before long, I realized I had just downloaded Cursor, but not had an occasion to try it out. I thought this might be as good as any.

Opened the project folder and its one HTML file, then stated prompting away. It got all the modifications right:
  1. add axis labels
  2. add labels to the bubbles
  3. change the tooltip to show all the data of the particular record; one of the attributes is confidence and goes from 0 to 1: Cursor guessed it is a percent and formatted it as such! 
  4. added a line showing the break-even point
Cursor edited the file for me, and I just had to accept the change, save, reload in the browser. Made some tweaks myself where it was simple enough. Much better than copying and pasting in the chat.

Where it blew my mind was when I resized the chart and added a section below which I titled "Explanation:". As soon as I did that, at each <tab> Cursor suggested an explanation for every aspect of the chart. I did not even have to ask, it guessed what I wanted based on the title. Amazing!

I repeat: I wrote Explanation: and then when I tabbed to get the next <p>, Cursor suggested one explanation at the time for each of the chart characteristics (including the break-even line).

Mirth: recover space when mirthdb grows out of control

I was recently asked to recover a mirth instance whose embedded database had grown to fill all available space so this is just a note-to-self kind of post. Btw: the recovery, depending on db size and disk speed, is going to take long. The problem A 1.8 Mirth Connect instance was started, then forgotten (well neglected, actually). The user also forgot to setup pruning so the messages filled the embedded Derby database until it grew to fill all the available space on the disk. The SO is linux. The solution First of all: free some disk space so that the database can be started in embedded mode from the cli. You can also copy the whole mirth install to another server if you cannot free space. Depending on db size you will need a corresponding amount of space: in my case a 5GB db required around 2GB to start, process logs and then store the temp files during shrinking. Then open a shell as the user that mirth runs as (you're not running it as root, are you?) and cd in...

From 0 to ZFS replication in 5m with syncoid

The ZFS filesystem has many features that once you try them you can never go back. One of the lesser known is probably the support for replicating a zfs filesystem by sending the changes over the network with zfs send/receive. Technically the filesystem changes don't even need to be sent over a network: you could as well dump them on a removable disk, then receive  from the same removable disk.

1/4/2000 to 1/4/2025: the beginning

Today April, 1st 2025 marks the 25 years anniversary (quarter of a century sounds more impressive, doesn't it?) working professionally in ICT. My first working day as an ICT professional was on April 1st 2000. I had just graduated from uni (literally the week before) and one of the profs offered me a position at this company. The daily commute over bus and train was about one hour and a half, but I got to work on something really fancy: writing a c-shell script to daily sync data over ftp from an Oracle 7 database running on AIX (looked a lot like this one ) to a Bull mainframe. Development occurrent from a Windows NT4 workstation over telnet (I think). c-shell was a b1tḉh to work with and vim wasn't available (only vi IIRC) so my productivity wasn't great but I got it done and it ran until one of the two system (AIX) was eventually decommissioned. The AIX system might still be in the basement at my $OLDJOB. After that I moved on to more interesting e...
