Wednesday, July 31, 2024 People who get a sense of self-esteem from having procreated place a heavy burden on their children. What if the child doesn't live up to their expectations? Creating a new human is not an accomplishment. Treating that new life as a full person starting at birth, and through their whole life, that's an accomplishment. For a man to father a child just means they have a functioning reproductive system. It's not anything to be proud or to expect to be rewarded or respected for. # Heather Cox Richardson : "When President Joe Biden announced just a week ago that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president, he did not pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. He passed it to us." # The blogroll on scripting.com has more features today. Screen shot . # A note to anyone making a twitter-like system. If you supported outbound RSS, I could use your system as a note-taking tool. I know Bluesky does, and I

Hello, I've got a brand new article for you. Nuxt Tips Collection is my third book now, and I've learned a lot about how to format books (and PDFs in general). In fact, I built my own tool to make this whole process easier — complete with hot-reloading so I can see the changes I make immediately. I did a big write up all about it and how it works, including the Paged Media module of CSS that you probably haven't ever used: Create Beautiful PDFs with HTML, CSS, and Markdown Of course, don't forget that Nuxt Tips Collection is launching in only a few days on August 5th! You can go here to get a special launch discount on Monday. I've been spending this week editing and polishing the content, making sure it's as good as it can be before I release it next week. I'm also working on a dark mode for the book... Enjoy your summer and your tips! — Michael 🔥 Too Many Props/Options is a Smell Although the total number of optio

Tuesday, July 30, 2024 I said on Thursday that Biden's speech last Wednesday had the potential to be a Gettysburg address, if it the United States turns back toward democracy and government of the people, by the people and for the people. Biden has the potential of being as great a president as Lincoln. Let that settle in for a moment. I get goosebumps when I think about it. If he hadn't taken that stand, he could have become known as the US equivalent of Kaiser Wilhelm . # The Podcast0 project is teaching me how to read the archive of my own blog. Until now I had not carefully read the story I tell on my blog more than a few days after it happened. Here's I'm learning to reconstruct the summer of 2004, one of the most creative periods of my life, at least that's viewable in such a public and preserved way. Am I the first to do this for any blog? If you know of an example of historic research done using the archive of a blog, please send me a not

Monday, July 29, 2024 Like cholesterol , there's "good weird" and "bad weird." I think we all know which kind of weird the Repubs are. # Here's a perfect illustration how ChatGPT can improve customer relations. I bought an iPhone that I now don't need, and it's arriving today via FedEx. I wanted to know whether I should just refuse delivery, or accept it and then return it. Obviously it's easier for me to refuse. I asked ChatGPT and it gave me a detailed reply. Apple's chatbot saw it as a "technical" question and wasn't prepared to help. Sales support is one of those applications where cost is totally justified. A human helper would cost a lot more I imagine than a LLM chat system. I tried calling 1-800-CALL-APPLE and talked to a human who was very nice, but couldn't find anything in her manual about refusing delivery. # Is there anyone here within earshot who is involved in doing the web stuff for the
