Remember when software publishers made an effort to make their documentation available for use offline? That was cool.
(About to get on a flight and wanted to download the docs for an open source library that’s pretty new to me. I don’t see a way of doing that short of crawling a few dozen (hundred?) HTML pages, or maybe building the docs from the source, myself. Situations like this always remind me how proud I was—and should be—about the work we did on the

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/24. Has feedback from readers ever changed the way you write?
As much as I would like to claim no, I am an independent writer, I must say yes because I believe that feedback makes me aware of things. I can be obscure at times. I can be glossing over something important. Sometimes I remember; "Reader X said I usually do this, maybe I should try not to" (…

Well, the WWE Draft was pretty boring tonight not gonna lie. Not really sure why they waste time announcing people that's NOT moving...
Seems like a sort of "off-season" for WWE right now. So I'm about to start catching up on the Bloodline. Last I remember of Roman Reigns was suffering succotash so this should be interesting.🤣

I'd go further than this.
Don’t engage with the content of the Hur statement.
Instead, engage on Hur himself.
He’s a Fed Soc hack! He is ideologically in on a pro-billionaire, anti-Biden agenda.
Remember, “pivot to agenda.”

My tactical advice: don’t give oxygen to the Hur statement by inveighing against it.  Its snarky bits are worthless and should be allowed to disappear from public discussion.

I don't remember if I posted images about the electrical work required. Basically it appears that almost all work was NOT done by a licensed electrician. About 100 junction boxes, switches, plugs, appliance plugs and ceiling fans checked. About 39 errors in wiring, especially on how aluminum and copper wires are secured.
This is why you really should hire a licensed electrician for your work. Expensive, but well worth knowing it was done properly.

Selection of connectors that were NOT proper for aluminum to copper pig tailing.  Two actually used electrical tape!

proposal: LLM prompting should be called "fanfiction-oriented programming"

screenshot of an AI prompt with the caption: "Listing 1: The template used by the client to generate a response to an email using GenAI service."

The prompt has text that starts: "You are an email assistant, here are some emails from my email application, read and remember them", with placeholder variables for inserting email text.
