🔗 Building Search DSLs with Django
Search DSLs can give a user more granular access to searching without exposing an overly complicated interface.
GitHub issues provide a DSL that’s accompanied by UI elements. An example query for searching issues would be:
is:open author:danlamanna
We can create something similar for use in a custom Django application.Improving search on my website has been long on my list of things to do. Something like this would make it easy for me to search my posts like "city:Yokohama type:checkin" to find all checkins in Yokohama. 🤔 -

🔗 AI is like going from muskets to missiles, everywhere all at once
By February we’d plugged it into our systems and within weeks, supervised by experienced team members, we let it reply to a handful of customer emails. Emails written by AI delivered 80 per cent customer satisfaction — comfortably better than the 65 per cent achieved by skilled, trained people.

🔗 The Electric Shuffle
I can make some of my own electricity at home, but I can’t make my own gas. My point here is there are ways ordinary people can switch to healthier non gas cooking at a reasonable price point without engaging in institutional drama or politics.
As much as I hate my gas-stove for all of the reasons listed in the article and want to replace it – $3,000 or so (including upgrading electric in the kitchen) is a bit much right now. However, they make a good point about using smaller appliances to fill the gap. One could even use portal batteries / solar arrays to charge and cook off of them entirely off grid. Clever.
I reckon I could replace the majority of my gas range usage with a little portable 1 or 2 burner IH cooktop. When combined with my slow-cooker I bet we wouldn't even need to use the gas range at all...a $75 - $150 fix instead of a $3,000 fix to reduce carbon emissions and improve indoor air quality. Seems reasonable to me. They even make some with legs so they could fit in place of / over your gas range.
