#Netizens - my comic strip series


I feel cartoons are a great way to express your thoughts and anger without getting into trouble...at least most of the time.

A good cartoon is like a sugar coated pill, it can make bitter things palatable.

I have a lot of cartoon ideas but most of them just stay in my head due to lack of time & mainly laziness to draw.

Back in July, I read about a promising & nifty comic generator on Twitter and got hooked, line and sinker.

Comicgen is a free comic generator from the good folks at Gramener. It allows you to create you own stories & cartoon strips with configurable emotions, angles & poses for a bunch of pre-built characters. New features are constantly being added.

Comic strips can be built with HTML code or even more easily in PowerPoint.

As most of my cartoon ideas deal with millennials who are digital natives for whom the Internet is like food and air, I'm calling the comic strip series #Netizens

Maven Crash Course - Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes

Image
In the Maven Crash Course " Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes ", Chris Dutton walks through a hypothetical business case while showcasing the power of modern Excel tools like Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX. Power Query is used to extract, transform, and load data from external sources like SQL databases, PDF and CSV files. A relational model is created to join the tables without writing a single formula. Exploratory analysis is done using Power Pivot and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). Data Analysis Expressions is the language that we can use to define new calculated columns and measures to enhance our Data Model instead of the traditional cell formulas that we'd typically use if our data was stored in worksheets. Pivot Charts and slicers are used to design a simple interactive report that the sales managers can use to analyze revenue trends and product performance.

GitHub Copilot Q&A - 1

Image
Key takeaways from the talk in Q&A format - What is GitHub Copilot and how does it work? GitHub Copilot is a suite of tools designed for code completion. It works by analysing the code and comments you type in your IDE and sending that context to GitHub. Copilot then uses OpenAI's language model (in December 2024, it is GPT 4o by default and you can also choose the preview versions of o1-mini & o1-preview if you like) to understand your intent and generate suggestions for code completion. You can then accept, reject, or modify these suggestions. What context does GitHub Copilot consider when making suggestions? Copilot considers the entirety of the file you are currently working on, not just the code from your cursor position upwards. It also analyses the content of other open tabs in your IDE, starting with those closest to the current tab. This helps Copilot focus on the most relevant information. Is it necessary to meticulously manage open tabs for Copilot to work effect...
