I'm basically just a well-articulated mess.

At what point in casting we're they like "Supergirl's dad should be played by the same guy who played Superman in the 90s series Lois & Clark?"

A repeated query offered the same verse in different wording. How KJV is this thing?

There’s a ChatGPT-powered called ChatKJV that divulges “wisdom from scriptures.” It entirely failed to account for, off the top of my head… the holocaust, in its calculation of “the greater good.” I think OpenAI is far more useful in secular pursuits.

Dear , I miss TweetBot every day. I used to be able to navigate Tweets with j/k and respond/like with one key. Now it’s just an accessibility nightmare. I got suspended for cursing your name over this, but don’t think I don’t hold it against you just because I’m civil.

What language is this in? Did Twitter offer to translate it for you?

My first mech keyboard had cherry browns, which I needed for the conversion from low-profile, but now I don’t work well without the clicks. Just ordered a new UHK V2 with box white switches, very much looking forward to it. Hot swappable in case I change my mind in the future…

If you’re angry or not sure how to feel about the tech industry/management/layoffs right now, let have your ear: open.substack.com/pub/ez/p/techs (And if you dig it, support his work. It’s good stuff.)

Plus a last-minute addition to allow secondary string arrays to be inserted based on iteration index. It’s less complicated and potentially more useful than it sounds.

Anyone found a Sublime extension for incorporating OpenAI for code commenting? Rapidly growing tired of pasting methods and entire source files into ChatGPT for that purpose. I assume there’s at least one for VS Code by now(?), but haven’t seen any for Sublime…

Sorry, edit to previous Tweet, turn on macOS Keyboard Navigation under Settings->Keyboard, not Accessibility->Keyboard->Full Keyboard Access. That will f#@$ you up if you’re not disabled.

Good grief ChatGPT writes really good email replies. Sorry, after a career of writing for blogs, books, and customer support I’m just frequently flabbergasted by how easy OpenAI makes everything seem to write content.

If I can afford it when it’s out of beta, I would pay for this.

Holy cow, you can ask ChatGPT to write code comments in a doc format, e.g. JSDoc, YARD, etc., and it will properly parse all of the parameters, options, and possible return values into the specified format. It even figures out option hashes for Ruby YARD docs!

Argh, intermittent ground loop buzz in my monitors and I can’t figure out what’s causing… one of the dozen things plugged into this power bank is probably the issue, but it goes away when my hand gets near it so I can’t selectively unplug to narrow it down…

Holy cow ChatGPT writes great code documentation for methods and functions. Maybe *too* verbose, but I’m amazed at its understanding.

The term “snowflake” has never been used in good faith or without blatant hypocrisy.

Are RSS readers gaining traction again, finally? I’m noticing about 15% of my blog traffic coming from my RSS feed, and that’s an increase over last year. Heartening, RSS is still the best way to control the news you see without relying on an algorithm to make choices for you…

I just reached out to a friend I hadn’t heard from for a while which is highly unusual behavior for me and I’m not sure what’s happening in my brain but it seems like a positive thing.

If you’ve recently lost your tech job, rest assured that it didn’t make any difference other than upping the suicide rate. It’s all bullshit.

Stop making every Twitter post a question for your followers intended to score interactions. More dad jokes, less pandering.

10-hour Twitter jail for saying something mean to Elno. Feels like punching up, expressing anger over the Tweetbot fiasco which I think is justified, but I did say “fuck you” and I accept my punishment, I guess.
That was 10 hours without hearing a peep from his fanboys, tho…

So I was able to refactor SearchLink as a ruby gem and split all of the methods into appropriate files, w/build script to recompile into a single script and update the Services that get distributed. It’s so much nicer to work with than the 4000-line file… github.com/ttscoff/search
