These are the prompts I use to extract chapters in citymeetings.nyc as of March 23rd, 2024 -- the date of my NYC School of Data talk.

To simplify things I've removed all the code that stitches these prompts together and consolidated all the common items from each step in my chapter extraction pipeline.

See the slides & talk for a description of how these work in concert and how I review and fix issues.

NOTE: these work reasonably well and save tons of time, but I haven't systematically evaluated or improved them yet in the same way I have my speaker identification prompt.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.

Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?

If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].

	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.

	= Geographic Searches With Postgres's Earthdistance and Cube Extensions

	This program shows how to easily create a Postgres database that uses the Cube
	and Earthdistance extensions to perform fast queries on geographic data.

	Briefly, the problem this code solves is "show me all places within 50
	kilometers of New York City."
