Two of the top contenders in this context are the opportunity to optimize availability and also to get a better handle on database sizing so that common conundrums can be avoided.
Gemini CLI is an open-source command-line AI tool developed by the Google Gemini team, specifically designed for developers. It can understand code, execute complex queries, automate tasks, and leverage Gemini’s multimodal capabilities (like image recognition) to generate creative content.
Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI proved that terminal-based coding agents are the future, but they all come with strings attached. Opencode takes everything developers love about these proprietary tools and makes it completely open source, provider-agnostic, and community-driven.
PostgreSQL has a limitation on unique index entries larger than 1/3 of a buffer page. The 1/3 page size limit exists to ensure efficient page splitting. To overcome the restriction, introduce a new field that stores a hash of the large field. This allows you to store really large data inside databases, even with unique constraints.

AI Tutorial
How and why to use ChatGPT’s temporary chat
Temporary Chat is like incognito mode for ChatGPT. The convo won’t appear in your history, it won’t use or update ChatGPT’s memory, and it won’t be used to train the model. While OpenAI keeps a copy for safety purposes, it gets deleted completely after 30 days.
Why use it?
Privacy: By using ChatGPT a lot, you're providing it with a lot of information about yourself. This is one of the main concerns for some people when it comes to AI.
Fresh Perspective: The responses aren’t influenced by past conversations.
Sensitive Topics: Great for when you want to discuss something personal or analyze private work documents.
Reduces environmental impact: Less stored data means a smaller environmental load.
How to use it (Desktop or app)
Open ChatGPT.
Click the speech bubble icon in the top right corner.
(It looks like 💬 and is tucked into the corner.)Start chatting. Your conversation is now temporary.
To turn it off, just click the icon again.
