I’m sure there’s an easier way to inflate a balloon What’s the tea, @MuffyVanderbiltTheThird? I hear you’re on @CampWannakiki on @OUTtv / @FROOTtv.uk I finally snapped after hearing another “why Perl #regex so hard” bleat and pointed out that regular expressions’ “line noise” predates the #Unix operating system itself, which evolved into the code running the #smartphone in your hand and most of the #servers on the Internet. #MothersDay #bouquet of #flowers for @MacGurl70 by @UrbanStems Smooth #shave and a #haircut @bigkatsbarbershophouston Still life with sandwich It’s been said before, but I sure am glad the #coronavirus doesn’t transmit sideways /s Happy triple-religion weekend to those who celebrate #SoftwareDeveloper #programming #coding #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ML #MachineLearning #LLM #LargeLanguageModels #ChatGPT #Copilot #OpenAI @github
