  Just had what feels like a breakthrough moment with LLMs. I'm attending a class and would really like a high-quality transcript of the weekly 90-minute sessions. Zoom has its own transcript feature but it really struggles with "uhms" and "ahs" and in general forming cohesive sentences from spoken word.

  Christ suggests our obligation to love means we must fix messes we didn’t cause and cure injustices for which we weren’t responsible. Christian love is proactive, affirmative, and interventionist. Christian love jumps in to help. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/ask-neighbor-you-are/

  "The real battle doesn’t involve the nonbeliever as the enemy, our knowledge as the weapon, or winning the argument as the prize. It’s a battle against the powers of darkness, and our only hope of defeating it is with the light of gospel truth (Eph. 6:12). The salvation of souls, received by grace through faith in Christ alone, is the prize (Luke 15:7)." https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/win-people-arguments/

  Excellent advice here for all web applications, and #htmx ones in particular: - Only call routes you control - Always use an auto-escaping template engine - Only serve user-generated content inside HTML tags - If you have authentication cookies, set them with Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite=Lax https://htmx.org/essays/web-security-basics-with-htmx/

  Companies that send "happy birthday" emails: why? I would appreciate a discount on whatever I'm paying you for, but instead it's just a generic "best wishes" email. No thanks.

  "Both things can be true at the same time. Millions of Salvadorans can feel less at risk from gangs, while tens of thousands of families have lost someone innocent to the exception regime. To highlight the abuses in the prisons and the criminal justice system is not to deny that gangs inflicted horrible damage on the country for two decades or more." https://www.elsalvadorperspectives.com/2024/04/state-of-exception-in-communities.html

  Have you ever wondered how to use #playwright UI mode with #docker? I wrote an article explaining how and recently updated it to stay up to date with the underlying tools. It also has a whole new section on using it with your end-to-end test suite. https://www.oddbird.net/2022/11/30/headed-playwright-in-docker/

  The human rights group Cristosal released a 126 page report titled El silencio no es opción (Silence is not an option) which reviews torture, deaths, and the absence of justice under the ongoing State of Exception in El Salvador. During the first two years of the State of Exception 79,211 persons were arrested, including 12,704 in the second year as the pace of detentions slowed down. https://www.elsalvadorperspectives.com/2024/07/silence-regarding-state-of-exception-in.html
