Pick-up artists are not going to behave like decent human beings.

In Ireland, it isn't only rural addresses which have no house numbers. Plenty of houses even in towns had non-unique addresses before the introduction of eircodes. On my road, all …

I got made redundant shortly before the release of LLM code generators, so I've never used one, but I did occasionally do this for short snippets from tutorials and suchlike.

I think that it's often true that Americans don't get British sarcasm. And it's similarly often true that British people don't get American sarcasm.

So you've not heard of Gaelic football?

Hawkeye in GAA games is sponsored by Specsavers.

If you're relying on HTML forms being filled in to generate queries, the browser will always generate standard query parameters with a question mark and ampersands. But if you're m…

I'm certain I've seen websites which used semi-colons rather than question marks and ampersands for query parameters. The Jehovah's Witnesses website used to, many years ago. I bel…

My primary use for Typst is pretty agendas for my Toastmasters club. https://typst.app/project/rmyyeU17y51rl6ISSqGji9 Typesetting isn't just for science. I like that it looks good;…

The top of the Arc is open space. Standing up there watching the traffic is amusing. I once saw two buses, side-by-side, exit the roundabout, while the motorbike sandwiched between…

There was a lot of outrage over the use of AI-generated images on the Leaving Cert exam in Ireland recently.
