This was one of the most creative and enjoyable sci-fi books I’d read in a while. The two main storylines are split between spider-like intelligent aliens on a remote planet and the conflict between humans in orbit who are preparing to make First Contact. The way that the alien storyline is “translated” into English is a very compelling storytelling device. The human storyline paints a vivid picture of a far-future spacefaring civilizatio....

The lack of server-side rendering in web components has become a sort of folk belief that oft goes unquestioned. I am happy to report that the fears are unfounded.

This post is part of the GenAI Series. So far in the series, we have created AI apps that generate text. In this post, I will introduce OpenAI’s image generation APIs, which can convert a textual prompt into an image and perform many other tasks related to images. I am going to make an app called AvatarAI. It will generate an avatar based on different parameters. Avatars are very common in the digital world. People use them mainly as profil....

how about having an esoteric encryption system where the industry standard aes256 is used, but with an optional plugin system for people to add their own ciphers on top of it. Because the glowies won't have time to manually unravel EVERYONEs ciphers plus aes256. If aes256 is broken, they still need to figure out ciphers, one by one. I understand if glowies dedicate the resources to specific individuals, and you're one of those individual..

Introduction The rules that determine what gets attention on social platforms are often called “algorithms,” but algorithms are only part of the story. Another way to understand social platforms is as social protocols, or sets of formal and informal rules that groups use to allocate their collective attention.

I sat to jot down a quick introduction to my C# 13 What’s New and Interesting session next week, and what I ended up with instead is a long rant or, should I dare, stream of consciousness that is certainly inappropriate for a five-minute introduction. I’ll have to cut most of it down, especially on the personal story part, but my site might be a good place to host it in all its completeness. I may reference this post at the start of the s..

I wrote about DRY configs many years ago but astonishingly my clients don’t seem to read my blog. I mean, who even has a blog these days anyway? Externalized application configs have a way of multiplying like rabbits to the point where people become afraid to touch them at all, let alone apply the DRY principle to them. The proliferation of poorly-designed configuration files in Enterprise Java systems is appalling, and the situatio..

These days, my LLM interactions primarily take place via chatgpt-shell 's compose UX. I've grown fond of this hybrid style of interaction. On sharing the latest incarnation , jllw asked about the possibility to port to comint shells . With jllw 's great idea in mind, I set out to prototype an eshell pager, my preferred shell. The initial results ain't too shabby: While you can easily flip through all eshell commands and out....
