Demystifying and deconstructing Q&A bots that work over your data.
Elixir is the thing I do most of my public writing and speaking about. It is my default programming language for the last 5-6 years. It suits my brain.

Bun gets debugger support, fetch streaming, and `bun update`. ReadStream and WriteStream from `node:tty` are implemented, including raw mode on `process.stdin`. SvelteKit now works in Bun. Plus bug fixes and stability improvements.
Many years ago I've re-posted a Stack Overflow answer with Python code for a terse prime sieve function that generates a potentially infinite sequence of prime numbers ("potentially" because it will run out of memory eventually). Since then, I've used this code many times - mostly because it's short and clear. In this…

tl;dr annotated AHK scripts here. Anybody who’s spent time with me knows how much I love AutoHotKey, the flat-out best Windows automation tool in the world. Anybody’s who’s tried to use AutoHotKey knows how intimidating it can be. So to help with that, I’m sharing (almost) all of my scripts along with extensive…
Arrays are unique objects inside the JVM, and understanding their structure makes for better coding.
