Scripting News: Sunday, May 11, 2025

So far Gemini has done the best job of emulating my coding style. Here's an example. I didn't have to instruct it in how to do it, it figured it out. Impressive. I've spent a lot of time trying and failing to get Claude and ChatGPT to work the way I work. It makes a big difference, because if I want to try out something they've offered, I have to spend time doing grunt work to get it so I can read it and understand what they're doing.#
What do I really own?#
  • I once owned a few acres of land that had some old trees on it. I sat under one of the trees on a lovely afternoon, and thought of the tree "I own you." The tree formed a thought that somehow I could tune into. "I was here long before you were born and I will be here long after you die." I didn't see it exactly as a response to my claim of ownership. But it sure did put things in perspective!#
  • I thought of the tree, "I own you."#

Scripting News: Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 My linkblog, which posts to the Links tab on Scripting News, as well as Bluesky , Mastodon and RSS , now also posts to Twitter and Threads . # Today would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. She died in 2018, and I still haven't, deep inside, fully gotten the message that she's gone. Probably the most significant person in my life. I find most of my adult relationships can be traced back to my relationship with her. # Ignore the NY Times # When President Biden took the stage last night at the DNC, I had a moment of buyer's remorse. He looked so good in his black suit, and the pictures of the new candidates, and their spouses, looked comical in comparison to the president who was about to speak. # Why did Walz have a permanent frown on his face.

The magic of scoped slots in Vue ✨ (3/4)

Slots are just functions We're going to recreate the functionality of slots, but we'll use a regular Javascript function that only returns HTML. This is the code we'll replicate: <!-- Parent --> < template >   < div  class = "modal-container" >     < div  class = "modal" >       Content in the Parent       < Child  class = "mb-4"  v-slot = "{ text }" > ...
