Oddly, one of the things I'm looking forward to doing in retirement, is spending more time cooking. I started learning in my 40's and can now competently cook some basic dishes. Once I'm retired I'll have more time to ex

I learned that lesson at the first place I worked. It was an accountant's office and the partner in charge of paying invoices would literally go through the outstanding ones and see which he thought he could get away without paying, ev

Fully qualified is indeed the way to go. Unfortunately a lot of tutorials manifests and other materials have short names, and changing the default registry just opens up a load of typo squatting attacks.

A couple of reasons (for me anyway) 1) Main reason is that if I've spent time working something out, I can save other people the time doing that, by writing down the details in a searchable place. 2) If I want to explain something to s

I've been blogging for just over 20 years at this point, my main takeaways 1) Blog for yourself and no-one else. Write things up because you find them interesting or you learned something. Trying to second-guess things like what will b

This isn't really a surprise, given that there's much lower friction in asking an LLM compared to using Stackoverflow. However it's still kind of a concern. I'd guess that a lot of LLMs used stackoverflow data in their t

Seems to be, think you need to be logged in to Blue Sky to see it.

by raesene9 2y ago
Whilst it's still developing I think Bluesky is doing quite a lot of things right. Specifically the starter packs and lists make it easy to find the kind of content you're interested in and the openness to third party integrations

I think as a site starts, you might see that, but as it matures it diversifies. Definitely on Blue Sky, which doesn't default to an algorithmic feed, what you see depends on who you follow and as more groups move there the diversity of

Nah I'm getting the same error on Chrome and Firefox (both on Windows). It seems a little intermittant in that I got one good generation but most of the time I just get this error.

Anecdotally I can say that red squirrels and Pine Martens can co-exist quite happily, as I live in an area where we see both regularly and the presence of the Pine Martens doesn't seem to intimidate the squirrels or reduce their number

I can answer for me (I've been blogging just over 20 years at this point). There's a couple of main reasons for me to write a blog instead of just an obsidian note. Firstly, the process of writing a blog post makes me think throug

I can definitely see people becoming overly trusting of LLM output, but I have a feeling it might be a self-correcting problem over time. Initially when working with an LLM if you start with a problem it knows well, it's likely to give

Kind of both. Simple things like the switches on ffmpeg to rotate a video, is one example. I do that infrequently and Claude got it right in one. Quicker than reading the ffmpeg man page for that information by a long way. Also basic utilit

I can provide a use case, although I don't use this site specifically, I do use LLMs (generally Claude) to get command line syntax fairly regularly. The answer is it's faster and (in my experience) generally accurate for common co

The armory is a fun site, part of the Santa Cruz geek houses ( http://www.geek.org/geekhouse.html ). Most of the sites are gone now, but there's still a couple (like this one) still going!

I'd be surprised if the AirBnB host was able to work out that they made $100k , unless the guests told her (and were telling the truth) which seems unlikely. Feels like you'd need to know what coin they were mining and what the eq

Yep that's the point I was making, they don't want to pay out on architecture/configuration changes if making those would be expensive/difficult. That doesn't mean the report isn't legitimate (being cluster-adm

In my (admittedly limited) experience, whilst payouts for bugs might be seen as a positive internally, payments for bad architecture/configuration choices are less so (perhaps as they're difficult to fix, so it's politically

My first IT job involved installing a lot of Windows 95 from floppy disk. Luckily each PC I bought came with a set, so I'd build up some "good sets" over time after discarding all the disks that had read errors.

I can see where the no firewall argument is coming from and definitely on my own Linux laptop, I try and keep the number of ports listening down as much as possible, but it is tricky and it requires a lot of vigilance as sometimes applicati

An interesting idea, but it'll be tricky to keep it current, if you try to cover too wide an area. Looking at just my area of interest I came across deprecated/inactive tools. You might find it helpful to have a feedback mechanism

I'm at 20 years blogging as well. I've managed to keep my archive of posts with the blog as it moved technologies (with an unfortunately ever growing number of dead links as external sites die off). These days Github pages, Jekyll

I can see how people are confused by this though. Bing presents things it finds as facts, without really making it clear that they're just a synthesis of things it found on websites limited by it's search algorithm. So if I ask Bi
