If search engines had launched today, tech influencers would be falling over themselves labelling the use of search operators like +/-, " ", allintitle, allinurl, site, etc. as "search query engineering" π

That brief instant when I have to turn off Pi-Hole to see if a website is broken (it's always a digital marketing adjacent site.... :eyeroll: ) because of it makes me feel so icky.

Just realised that "Copilot" is an anagram of "Clip Too". Microsoft's marketing team is really missing a trick by not pushing the "AI Clippy" angle!

Today I came up with a new word: Clunktional Adjective. Something that's clunky but otherwise functional. Useful for describing a proof of concept or first (and sometimes final) pass at a solution

Having a baby is lot like Brexit: - it was a marginal 50-50 decision at best - everything's become more expensive, "but it's not really about money" - every decision involves all sides yelling at each other as "negotiations" - freedom of movement has decisively been ended

When Kier Starmer says "AI" it's the same as a person in the 1970s saying "computers". Just imagine he's saying "computers" and you'll understand the depth of his understanding of the whole thing.

It's been many years since I last daily-drove a Windows machine for dev stuff, and I still miss Notepad++ when opening random text formats that are not part of a "project". Zed comes the closest to being that "lightweight, but can do everything" editor replacement, but something's still lacking.

Here's a quick write up I did on the new uv package manager by Astral. I walked through setting up a new project, creating the repo with the GitHub CLI, and then using uv to actually manage dependencies. Plus, how to convert existing projects to uv.

Hi, can you help me? I want to develop a model that makes risk predictions. Use logistic regression. Can I use some more modern techniques, like AI? Use a neural network with single non-hidden feed forward layer that outputs to a single dimension using a sigmoid activation function.

PySky, what is your favorite automated documentation tool? Investigating to round out the docs of an internal platform I'm working on, and want something a bit more detailed than just a docstring-generated list of methods and inputs. One thing I'd like is class diagrams of derived classes

A lot of the vile bullshit said and done by the UK government makes more sense now through the lens of this statistic that the UK median age is nearly 41. Young people are simply not viewed as worth considering.
