I love how Kristian Köhntopp often turns series of valuable tweets in a blog post. [Wayback/Archive] MySQL: Boiling JFrogs | Die wunderbare Welt von Isotopp is no different and has much more than the few quotes below (especially about the process of finding the solutions):

For my list archive; need to check this out because reStructuredText by LeXtudio Inc. got redesigned, deferring much of its behaviour to Esbonio.
Anyway:
For me, figuring that out under pressure how to get this to working was too much, so I deferred that to a later point in time and perform a reStructuredText to Markdown conversion in stead (I wasn’t using very esoteric .RST features, and since most people use Markdown anyway it made the documents even more accessible for others to extend). Links on that conversion:
Both Markdown and reStructuredText are problematic for background images, so I opted to cut the conference background slide in half, put the top part above the title, and the bottom half below the final part of the presentation, as this didn’t really work well either:
Oh, and for Visual Studio Code:

Many Markdown documents on GitHub have three dashes (---) at the top (and rendered a horizontal table displays).
I didn’t know this markdown construct, and it appears to be GitHub specific: it is a way to render YAML metadata (for instance used while blogging).
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] three dashes table markdown – Google Search and found [Wayback/Archive] Viewing YAML Metadata in your Documents | The GitHub Blog.
Well, actually… Read the rest of this entry »

Fork of a repository that shows how to do this with normal Homebrew installs [Wayback/Archive] Install an old version with homebrew for macOS · GitHub has my notes to do a similar thing with Homebrew cask installs.
Fork of: [Wayback/Archive] Install an old version with homebrew for macOS · GitHub.
TODO: check notes to ensure they really work on a different system and were not a lucky shot.

Sometimes the XKCD episodes are hard to get, so I wanted a Bookmarklet to navigate to [Wayback/Archive] explain xkcd.
Here is the regular expression to change the domain name part if it matches: [Wayback/Archive] regex101: build, test, and debug regex: VI34VW with this generated sed code:

Een paar quotes van Laurens Verhagen’s column [Wayback/Archive] ChatGPT is een soort waarzegger, die net iets vaker de waarheid vertelt | de Volkskrant:
‘Mensen vrezen dat computers te slim worden en de wereld zullen overnemen, maar het echte probleem is dat ze te dom zijn en de wereld al hebben overgenomen.’ Deze vaak aangehaalde uitspraak van computerwetenschapper Pedro Domingos is al zo’n tien jaar oud, maar heeft nog niets aan actualiteit ingeboet.
…
ChatGPT in de basis is: een slimme woordvoorspeller.
…
Nog erger is misschien wel dat er bij Harper’s Bazaar blijkbaar niemand meer is die nog een boek leest. Ze zijn daar te druk met lijstjes maken aan de hand van chatbots, maar vooral met zichzelf in rap tempo overbodig te maken.
Dat laatste geldt natuurlijk voor iedereen die zwaar leunt op generative AI zonder veel moeite te steken in te verifiëren dat wat de woord- en beeldvoorspellers produceren klopt. Die moeite wordt steeds groter juist door de vervuiling van trainingsdata doordat AI trainingsmodellen niet kunnen onderscheiden of hun bron nu door mensen of door AI wordt gemaakt.
De trainingspool van menselijke data (feit of fictie – waaronder uiteraard satire, dat kunnen de modellen ook niet onderscheiden) – al dan niet uit materiaal dat zonder toestemming is opgenomen – is overigens inmiddels doodgebloed:
“Het had waar kunnen zijn” had van ChatGPT kunnen komen. Als die term faschineert, lees dan vooral [Wayback/Archive] Van Aarsvink tot Zeebreker – O.C. Hooymeijer.
