If you were at all confused about what NULLS NOT DISTINCT means for a unique index in PostgreSQL, let this helpful explanation make it all perfectly clear: > By default, NULL values are treated as distinct entries. Specifying NULLS NOT DISTINCT on unique indexes / constraints will cause NULL to […]

Mrs Sayers is becoming slightly hard of hearing, or maybe (as she maintains) I just mumble. Often I say things during a conversation because it seems to be expected that I say something. Silence is not OK, even though I have nothing really to say. It's profoundly irritating to have to repeat […]

Three otherwise sensible people I follow here have recently chosen to make posts criticizing cyclists as a group. None of them has previously commented on road safety before. None of them has ever criticised any other group of road users before, including the ones responsible for 99.99% of […]

If there's something I'd like people to understand who perhaps don't use these tools, it's that a lot of the magic people are experiencing is not coming from the llms, it's coming from the harnesses. And the harnesses are plain old software, so we can build our own and shape the experience in […]

Due to travel disruption, I am on a different train to the one I booked. But get this: I'm on a virtually empty train that will still arrive when mine was supposed to. And my booked train (which I'm not on) is more than an hour late, so I'll get a full refund. Sometimes things work out.

This morning one of my kids scalded himself on our boiling water tap. I said it was a "lethal drizzle". No response. Turns out neither of my kids had heard of Lethal Bizzle, despite living in E14, the home of grime. Just some old dude from the history books.

When someone's gender is not apparent, and "he or she" has too many syllables, I'm going to go with "horsh" from now on.

How it started How it's going

A screenshot of an article, it says: Samsung workers threaten strike, demand share of $38 billion AI memory windfall. Around 30,000 workers rallied as the union demanded 15% of operating profit, roughly $400,000 per employee

A screenshot of an article, it says: Samsung avoids strike as workers approve massive bonus deal. Amid booming demand for AI chips, the government-backed deal will make more than 60% of the South Korean tech giant's workforce eligible for bonuses of about $370,000 this year.

Astonishing stat. JE Root, 13,952 runs, 73 wickets. Nobody else in the team has that many of either. Nobody else in the team is within 10,000 runs of him. #EngvNZ #cricket

I saw this in the Oh My Zsh release notes and panicked that Rubby Russell had gone all DHH, but it's just a plugin alongside other model providers.

Release notes saying "Rename `grok` alias to `grokcom` to avoid conflicts with Grok Build CLI."

Either Pierluigi Collina was involved in the decision to issue the hand washing FIFA statement accepting the ban, in which case he should resign in shame, or he wasn't, in which case he should resign in protest.

I think the ploy of getting everyone to dress in red and putting big red advertising hoardings round the ground and painting big red patches on the grass is working. Or maybe the NZ fielders just can't catch. #EngvNZ #cricket #TestMatch

Good morning

Unattributed two panel meme. The top panel is a closeup of a left hand holding a small white rectangular piece of paper, on which is written "I can't do it" across two lines with two words on each. In the style of an insipid pointless patronising motivational poster, there is a pair of scissors with the blades hovering above the apostrophe-t in "can't", as if about to cut that off and leave the message "I can do it" instead, in a ghastly banal power-of-positive-thinking way.
However in the second panel, we see that the scissors have in fact just cut out the little square of white below the word "can't", leaving the original message intact, just on a slightly more interestingly shaped piece of paper.
Big mood.

Niche fact that I've just worked out: on 31st May this year there will be the same gap between the publication of Wind in the Willows and the release of the Pink Floyd album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn as between the album's release and today.
