Damn, this one hit hard. Grew up watching him on ZDTV/TechTV. RIP.

I set my son (8) up with a ChatGPT account and he loves it. He uses it to generate scripts for Roblox Studio, recipes to cook, etc. I used the "Instructions" field to indicate he i…

Wow this triggered some neural pathways I forgot I had. I remember using both of those clients.

What went wrong is that after being divested from Condé Nast, reddit went and raised a huge round that ensured they would have to go down the route of synthetic growth tactics. Thi…

1. Wow a thing, people seem to be excited about it. 2. Are people excited about my thing? Am I excited about it? 3. Have I made the wrong life choices? 4. This makes me feel uncomf…

It's a little hard to parse parts of that paragraph, but it sounds like the repo (presumably hosted on GitHub) had access tokens granted to third party integrations (similar to Her…

Been building Django apps for almost 10 years and after seeing the amount of wasted time going into organizing things into apps, I settled on this technique. It doesn’t really swim…

I don't use multiple apps anymore and instead treat the project as the app, so my directory structure looks something like this ('project' can change to something specific to what …
