Saturday, April 27, 2024 I asked ChatGPT: "Could I paste in the source code of a JS package i wrote and 1. ask you to remember it and 2. ask you questions about it later?" Short version of answer -- no. # A use-case for ChatGPT. You get a hard-to-understand error message from MySQL, so you send the code to ChatGPT and it gives you a perfect error message, and gives you the corrected code. It also can generate SQL from an actual English language description. Quite a loop-close, since SQL was sold as programming in English, just like COBOL or AppleScript, except in ChatGPT you really are using English. It's precise English, but not "marketing" English (ie non-technical managers can be fooled by what they see). An intelligent non-programmer could actually write code, not sure of that of course since I am a programmer myself. # I love that I can ask ChatGPT how to spell the word exposé in a literate way . Google is difficult about it. It tried t...

Thursday, April 25, 2024 I don't think conversation on the web has been the big benefit some people think. Do you remember when you first realized that people weren't talking to you in a response to your post, they were talking over your shoulder to the people who read your post. I guess it depends on who you are, but I don't see any value in providing a surface for spam. These days I block people without much thought if I think that's what they're doing. So, why should you design a protocol, and pay the cost of supporting, something that is a vector for spam and abuse? That's the argument in favor of using RSS to glue things together. You can comment on my post, in your space, but my followers don't have to see it. That's up to me. I think it would change the nature of discourse, for the better. # A backgrounder on how the web is used for conversation, the pros and cons of each variant, and what role RSS can play in it, thanks to Chat...

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 When I started working with Automattic last year, one of the big milestones we were aiming for was getting FeedLand and WordPress working together. Now we have the first step . I hope you take a moment to give it a try and let us know how it works. Scripting News readers have helped bootstrap all kinds of cool stuff, we can do it again. # Jay Gilmore : "ActivityPub breaks my brain. It doesn't need to be that hard given the payloads we are talking about." True. # FeedLand and WordPress # There's a new plugin that adds a blogroll to a WordPress site. # It would be helpful if people who are regular readers of Scripting News who use WordPress, set up a test site, give it a try and let us know how it goes. You can help us get to the next level with this stuff. # So there are two sides, the FeedLand side and the WordPress side. # The FeedLand side . Sign on to FeedLand, create an account if you don...

My latest project is a baby girl! We welcomed baby Thiessen in to our family a couple weeks ago, so I've been off work and enjoying the sleepless nights and getting to know my daughter. There have been some challenges, but I'm really enjoying fatherhood! It's truly incredible how a baby that really doesn't do much can be endlessly fascinating. Of course, I want to celebrate — but I have limited time (and mental capacity) for articles and videos. So I'm putting everything at 30% off until Saturday, April 27! Just use the code BABYTHIESSEN at the checkout. This will apply to all of these: Reusable Components Clean Components Toolkit Vue Tips Collection I'm also opening up orders again for the Vue Tips Collection hardcover book. But I have limited time to package and ship things, so I'm only selling 30 copies (unlimited digital copies though). ...
