Thoughts on publishing an example output perhaps in another repo? Perhaps just the first two phases? Would be interesting to see what the output looks like practically speaking (be…

Minor feedback: struggled to read this with the too-clever but distracting horizontal line scrolling down the page. Also the headers look squashed.

I don’t think we should conclude that a tech columnist who regularly shits on EU tech policy really intends to attack the EU writ large. If he sounds like he’s generalising to the …

I introduced this to my old company years ago and called it Big Block of Cheese Day after the West Wing episode [1]. We mostly focused on very minor bugs that affected a tiny bit o…

Ugh. Reminds me that some time ago Siri stopped responding to “turn off my TV.” Now I have to remember to say “turn off my Apple TV.” (Which with the magic of HDMI CEC turns off my…

Meta note: don’t see many blog posts as detailed as OP with seemingly mundane details. It assumes almost nothing of the user. So many posts would just say “install this QGIS plugin…

This. Went to Japan for the first time in August (…don’t recommend…the heat is intense…) and instead of spending days in Kyoto and Osaka, we spent a few days in Otsu on Lake Biwa. …

Gawker.

Probably didn’t have the level of adoption needed for the nefarious types to justify spending time finding Silverlight exploits.

Love MkDocs* even for non-Python. But, wasn’t aware it could auto-generate from code comments like pdoc? I’d assume one would use pdoc for the API section of a hot mkdocs layout. *…

> Next time I'll see such a response, I probably will quit on the spot; this is unbelievably cruel. Let me guess: you’d quit but your résumé’s out of date because you, like me, pro…

omg remember when we all had to install Java separately at the system level?

For the op, awesome article. Quick question: what’s the definition of your `swap(array, i, pivotIndex)` function? Am I missing something? Or just assumes it’s the standard set temp…

My CV is still in LaTeX which gives me the opportunity to procrastinate updating it (rather than actually applying for jobs) because of all of the tweaking I do. If nothing else, t…

Agreed; if I’m writing help text or instructions, regardless of the use of “my” or “your”, I put pages or features in quotes or bold or italics or whatever format helps it stand ou…

I’m in denial about needing to curb some pretty bad habits so won’t comment on that. But! I have a fairly “smart” home for controlling my lights, etc. I control it with Siri and th…

Author calls this out in the document. It’s intentional.

I think you’re missing the power plant/damn: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dy3wfsnHPQDys1Fo6?g_st=com.google.ma... I visited Snoqualmie Lower Falls with a friend a few years ago and had …

Odd choice that the example text on the homepage is almost all obvious typos that a standard spell check would pick up.

lol yep

Holy smokes. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. I submitted many calculus homework assignments in LaTeX because Jim introduced it to me back at our high school. (Go Mankato …

Out of curiosity (as someone disappointingly new to prompt engineering), what’s an example prompt you used with some success?

Thoughts on providing pre-compiled releases? I’m at a TS/node shop and while I can compile go, getting the team to adopt this is a lot harder if step one is to install go, step two…

Might want to add major version checks particularly with ffmpeg as IIRC filter syntax can vary between major versions (speaking as someone who is pretty sure he’s got an older vers…
