Very well put


I was going to share this but you beat me to it. I stumbled across this a few weeks ago. What an amazing resource.


In between great architects and construction workers there are structural engineers who have to work out how to turn the pretty designs into actual, workable plans. Those are the guys who should get most of the credit.


Retool.com is the closest thing I have found to the experience of building apps with Access


Used Access but preferred Approach back in the day and Retool definitely gives me back that RAD tool vibe.

As uplifting as it is, its limits make it just as easy to paint yourself into a corner.


o1-preview gave me this...

Final Decrypted Message:

"Por ejemplo te agradeceré, y te doy ejemplo de que lo que lees es mi ejemplo"

English Translation:

"For example, I will thank you, and I give you an example of what you read is my example."

... initially it gave up and asked if I knew what type of cypher had been used. I said I thought it was a simple substitution.


Why did it add the accents on to e (é)? Surely that wasn't part of it and it actually "thought a bit too far"?


I've tried brave and Firefox on mobile (android) and I've tried Safari on MacOs. I still just prefer Chrome, it's just a bit better. So I use it with third-party cookies turned off, which is easily (and transparently) done using the settings menu. I can also turn off this "related websites" thing. So what exactly is the problem? All major browsers have allowed users to turn off 3P cookies for years.


We are lucky enough to be able to run BigQuery with flat rate billing. It's incredibly powerful and it's a really good example of SaaS and Serverless done right. It just works.


This might make you feel better... https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/pesticide-in-oat-products-s...

... unless you regularly eat more than 85,000 tons of oats.


> unless you regularly eat more than 85,000 tons of oats.

Between muesli in the summer and oatmeal in the winter I'm averaging close to that, but I exercise a lot so I got that going for me.


Your character posing tool looks great!


Ok... I'm travelling to SF (I live in the UK) for a few days for work this August. I was looking forward to it but now I'm mainly scared! Is it still good to visit but just not to live in? The last time I was there was 2007. I've got a couple of days to myself whilst I'm there. What should I do?


I think you will do just fine.

I live in the SFBA and I continue to go there weekly and bring my family and children there, etc.

I would recommend Jackson square (Cotogna, Blue Bottle, Maison Nico) as a hangout spot, perhaps venturing uphill from there to the Grace Cathedral on the peak of Nob Hill[1] (remember: crime doesn't climb).

I would also highly recommend walking the top of the new transit center which is basically a High Line of the west[2] and is well worth your time and trouble.

If you want to glimpse, but not immerse yourself, in the angst and tension of post-pandemic SF, you can walk to Union Square.

Finally, get yourself to Hayes Valley without crossing through the Tenderloin as that is, without question, ground zero for all of the disturbing headlines.
