The Book of Horrors. I trained a machine learning algorithm on over 16,000 pages of the printed @Argos_Online catalog, then set it to work creating its own nightmarish book. Thread/ 👇 #GAN #MachineLearning

today I learned that the redis default port number is a reference to an in-joke among the dev team where a certain woman's name is used to denote anything they consider stupid. anyway good riddance to the redis guy

This happens at least once a week to me, and it is something to celebrate. I love having my children barge into my Zoom meetings and I love how my colleagues always handle it. @IAmCapitalOne

I thought github had dropped use of Master for Main (or something other than Master) - reported a week or so ago, and yet all my new projects _still_ use Master. Sad. I thought it was a step towards Better. Apparently just wind.

Not usually one for posting pictures of food but tonight's dinner is just too damn pretty 😍 Banana curry, which I learned to make when I was a waitress at El Piano in York when I was a student. It's the BEST 🍌🌶️🌿

I need to manually alter about 80 blog posts. I reckon it'll take me at least 2 hours. ⋯ OR ⋯ I could spend ~4 hours trying to write a script to automate it. Choices, choices!

To celebrate a full year of working from home, I decided that July would be me taking photos of my lunch. Nissin chicken cup of noodles with a poached egg and Japanese seasoning, plus orange/mango/peach black iced tea.

I just read a tweet that said that the *worst thing* you can do is to provide inaccurate or wrong information in a blog post. In the context of code, and on a high level, I can assure you that the world doesn't end if you write a blog post that has a mistake on it.
