Peer Review

One of the ways I've grown as programmer is by applying suggestions given to me in peer reviews. I've often learned more by feedback given in these reviews than any google or stackoverflow search could have taught.

Unless there is a misunderstanding of the intent of the code, most of the time, the suggestions should be taken to heart. The suggestions are made to help support future maintenance, make the code easier to understand, and almost always a general improvement to the final product. It is very, very rare for a suggestion to be made based purely on an arbitrary point of view made solely for the sake of commenting.

When suggestions are made for changes to my work, it provides me an opportunity to take a second look at my work and attempt to make the work better. Often times, these suggestions are usable in any future work I do. Now the reviewer doesn't need to continue to make the same suggestions with each review. This makes their job much easier - and mine to - because I no longer get

Postgres ON CONFLICT conflict_target index_expression

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/sql-insert.html#SQL-ON-CONFLICT

On my new_users table, I have a unique index on email and account where the deleted_at value is null. This allows only one combination of email and account for any row where deleted_at is null.

I want to move those old_user rows to a new_users table, but since the old_users table may have duplicate account/email combinations, I want to ignore them.

This query will essentially "upsert" the data from old_users to new_users. If there are any violation of the unique index for a particular row, that row will be ignored.

Create Raspberry Pi Image using a Raspberry Pi

My 2019 Macbook Pro w/Catalina 10.15.6 will not write to micro sd cards with any of the adapters I have available. They appear as "read only". OSX Disk Utility app will not format the SD cards. Error is Couldn't modify partition map. : (-69874)

To get around this, I used a Raspberry Pi to download the image and write it to the micro SD card.

I used a usb micro SD card reader from Canakit https://www.canakit.com/mini-micro-sd-usb-reader.html. I inserted the USB/SD reader after the Pi booted.

For this example, I'm using an Ubuntu image. This will likely work for other Raspberry Pi images.
