Conventional wisdom in modern software development generally endorses the use of an ORM. "Any project that doesn’t use an ORM will end up with a poorly implemented partial ORM." Most developers are familiar with the dreaded SQL injection attack - an ORM provides solid protection, while exposing a comfortable OOP interface for application developers: from blog.models import Blog , Entry entry = Entry . objects ....

For me, 2023 turned out to be a year of learning, growth, adventure, and gratitude. And since there’s plenty for me to talk about, I’ve divided my review into two sections: one that summarizes my professional pursuits, and one that summarizes everything else. The professional stuff: On the college front, the new technology programs I’ve been pushing since 2020 finally got to market! My favourite one is Mobile Web Developer , as it’s ....

Although historians are usually pushed to decide questions of “who was first,” the question of impact is more interesting. Konrad Zuse has a claim to the first computer, the first high-level computer language, and the first European commercial computer sale, but his relative isolation working in Germany in the 30s and 40s limited his visibility and impact. It wasn’t until the 1970s for his innovations to become more widely known. Raúl Roj....

The rules are simple, Select “a favorite album for every year of your life”.

This is an overview of vector search and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in the context of text data, illustrated with worked code examples, and some closing thoughts on their usage in practice. It is primarily to clarify my understanding and for my future reference, and is likely to be updated with further information over time.

This website used Cactus comments system, which leverages Matrix protocol. It was a nice little experiment but it’s a half baked project, which didn’t grow in the last few years. I have decided to make my own comment system. Something as simple as possible, where comments are stored in the most universal way possible. Because systems change, but data? Data is forever. The simplest comment system is an interface to send text data, a way ..
