Heya, folks! How’s life treating you this week? I for one can’t believe I’m preparing this week’s episode with time!

• Hosting SQLite databases on Github Pages [7m]
  My first reaction when reading this article was that of skepticism, but then the implications finally came and now I think it’s one of the best demonstrations I’ve found about the power of WebAssembly. Having said that: please, please, don’t do this for your website’s unless you have a very good reason for it.
• Quick Tip: caffeinate your Terminal [3m]
  I don’t know you, but I’m not a huge fan of my computer going to sleep when left unattended (at home, at least). And yes, I know there are apps for that, but I just found that macOS comes with a caffeinate CLI tool that does exactly that. I’m definitely going to incorporate it into my workflow.
• Work with GitHub Actions in your terminal with GitHub CLI [5m]
  I hope you already know this tool, because I didn’t and it’s fantastic… if you use GitHub, of course. Sometimes it even feels like magic, but in a good way. I’ve been using it lots lately at work and it’s wonderful.

The Miracle Sudoku [26m]
I can’t believe I didn’t share this one yet. Whether you like playing Sudoku or not, this is something you are to see. It’s a tour de force of logical thinking and just plain astonishment. Do yourself a favor and go and watch it. NOW.
