Much later than these, but I remember quite fondly all the DOOR BBS RPGs and games on our local BBSes in the mid 90s. I would come home from school, grab the really long phone cable coiled up, and run it across the house to the kitchen so I could log on.
I don't see the point of this tool, independent of the resulting code being derivative of GPL code or not.

being able to produce valid code is not the bottleneck of any developer effort. no projects fail because code can't be typed quickly enough.

the bottleneck is understanding how the code works, how to design things correctly, how to make changes in accordance with the existing design, how to troubleshoot existing code, etc.

this tool doesn't make anything any easier! it makes things harder, because now you have running software that was written by no one and is understood by no one.

I'd say that it depends on the license; for StackOverflow, it's CC-BY-SA 4.0 [1]. For sample code, that would depend on the license of the original documentation.

My point is: when I'm copying code from a source with an explicit license, I know whether I'm allowed to copy it. If I pick code from co-pilot, I have no idea (until tested by law in my jurisdiction) whether said code is public domain, AGPL, proprietary, infringing on some company's copyright.

You're just wrong, unfortunately - Google runs dev and test and prod all on the same clusters. Kubernetes multi-tenancy works just fine, but the conventional definition of multi-tenancy includes things like "network isolation" that are misguided. Multi-tenancy should be set up (and is within Google) by understanding what is and isn't shared with the environment, and through cryptographic assertion of who you're speaking to. If you want to see the latter part nicely integrated, come to a SIGAUTH meeting and help me argue for it
The 2 hour commute is your fault, not the fault of office job's. My commute is 10 minutes.
I've been hacking LW time signal receivers for at least a couple of decades, always liked DCF77 because of the additional 512 count sequence (both it and MSF are great intro's to RF hacking in the UK/EU). I'd still got recordings of LW time signals from MSF, HBG and DCF for the midnight rollover from 1999 to 2000 (they didn't all get it right :) ).

It's not well known, but quite a few LW transmissions also carry timecode. TDF Allouis in France and Radio 4 in the UK (R4 is pretty cool because it also carries certain 'additional data'). A couple of source that went off air relatively recently were HBG75[[0] and Loran [1].

I do a 6 too. And I can do all kind of imaginary stuff with that red star.
Well, that's the other side of it. If a company is paying you for 40hrs a week, they want to make sure they're getting their moneys worth.

Of course you can argue about how employees, despite being "in the office" are only productive for 2 or maybe 3 hours of their 8 hour shifts. But that's now how management sees it. Having a person visibly in a chair makes management feel like they are getting their money's worth.

I also don't get how people expect to get paid a full living salary for working less.
There will probably always be niche sources for specific "how to" information. YouTube is currently a low-effort way to make that generally available in video format, but it's certainly not the only viable solution, and the information you can get from a specific enthusiast site or forum is often better and more detailed.
The BBC publishes nothing but garbage and there are other extant sources that are more durable. It's fine to forget things. We're missing entire libraries of classical literature from great authors which would be nice to have. Missing documentary sewage isn't a tragedy.

This should show us that most of the web isn't worth preserving anyway, much like McDonald's burger wrappers aren't worth preserving like sacred artifacts. Most web and social media content is worth less than said greasy burger wrappers.

Slightly off topic, but I attended a higher-ed conference a couple years ago and the administrators are all scared about 2025. The birthrate took a hit in 2008 and has never recovered. Peak enrollment will be 2024 and then diminish for the foreseeable future.

The expectation is that top tier schools will be fine, just less selective, but the B- and C-tier schools are going to suffer. I suppose they can make it up in international enrollment--that wasn't discussed.
>Because of T+2 settlement when you buy/sell stock the actual exchange of shares and money only happens 2 business days later. If you sell a stock and then buy a different stock the same day you're trading with money that technically is not in your account yet, even in a cash account.

It's to do with T+2 settlement, but not with unsettled funds (funds you got from selling a stock, but hasn't settled yet). Basically, even if the funds were settled (eg. it's been sitting in your account for years), your broker has to put up the deposit on the day of trade, but can't use your money to do it. So if you bought $100 worth of shares and the deposit requirement was 100%, then your broker has to come up with $100 of their own cash (or borrow it from someone) to fulfill the trade.

https://finance.yahoo.com/video/heres-why-robinhood-restrict...

>but our clearing firm simply cannot afford the cost to settle those trades. We cannot use customer funds to front that cost due to regulation. So the brokerages or the clearing firms have to go into their own pockets to do it. And they simply can't afford the cost of that trade clearance.

Part 2: Building Cloud-Native Java Microservices with OpenJDK
First, if I understand it right... Google does some smart things in upgrades. They do things like tests and then upgrade their equivalent to AZs in a data center. I'm sure there have been upgrades gone bad that they've had to fix.

Kubernetes can be upgraded. I've watched nicely done upgrades happening 4 or 5 years ago. I've watched simple upgrades happen more recently. It's not unheard of. Even in public clouds I've upgrade Kubernetes through many minor versions without issue.

I would argue it's more work to create more clusters. You need to migrate workloads and anything pointing to them. It also would cost more as you have to run more hardware.
This sea a lot more work for no benefit, compared to just writing a (hypertext) book and citing sources.
I think the core argument has much more to do about plagiarism than learning.

Sure, if I use some code as inspiration for solving a problem at work, that seems fine.

But if I copy verbatim some licensed code then put it in my commercial product, that's the issue.

It's a lot easier to imagine for other applications like generating music. If I trained a music model on publicly available Youtube music videos, then my model generates music identical to Interstellar Love by The Avalanches and I use the "generated" music in my product, that's clearly a use that is against the intent of the law.

> such mediocre customer support.

I agree 1000% with this. I "recently" switched from RH to ally since I already have a decent chunk of cash there, and I am STILL waiting on my cost-basis to transfer. It has been over 75 days since they transferred my stock and cash, and every time I reach out to customer service they feed me the same canned response that due to volume of transfers it is taking longer than expected and they have no ETA on when my cost-basis will transfer.

Yup. The playbook of modern tech companies seems to be:

1. Solve the easy 80% of the problem.

2. Deploy that "solution" - which would not be considered acceptable in just about any other industry - as widely as possible. Do not offer proper customer support.

3. Take the money you save on not solving the hard parts and not having customer support, and funnel it into marketing, to stimulate growth.

4. Continue until you fail, get acquired, or dominate the market.

5. If anyone asks what kind of outfit you're running, make a sad puppy face and say "scaling is hard!".
Most consumers do not want to pick up the phone these days. I do not trust that an inbound phone number isn't just a spam call. I get concerned that the number I get when I google "schwab support line" will turn out to be a fake line setup on a good looking website designed to harvest personal details.

I strongly suspect that the SaaS/consumer trend of having fewer human interactions will continue. The necessary caveat of this is that many firms will have less developed procedures for managing interesting situations.

tangentially related: I'm learning iOS tweak development (on a jailbroken iPhone) using theos [0], and due to the fact that Apple's docs are pretty lacking, I've had to basically exclusively rely on GitHub's search for code examples using the methods/classes I'm interested in. Never done this kind of "learning by example" with respect to programming before, and it definitely has me yearning for better docs...

I know you're getting downvoted but I was hoping to get more context around the ownership situation of specifically Credit Karma Tax? Are there articles anywhere discussing how it will be spun off from CK or will it stay within their services just run by a different company?
Reducing the tax credit disbursements won't help the IRS budget. They have no incentive to do so.
Thanks for this. I'd want to think a bit to figure out how where I'd want to start from in unpacking the point about Kendrick. Happy to though, just give me a bit.

As for Kanye's ambition, in 2016 he asked Zuck for Medici-level support. (https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/15/10995374/kanye-west-mark-...) What happened next? We don't know yet, and I'm anxiously awaiting some serious reporting that should come out in the next few years. By 2019, he's deeply involved in coordinating with some nefarious GOP donors, such that his fingerprints are all over the famous phone call between the former president and the Ukranian ambassador that was central to impeachment. (https://time.com/5734601/asap-rocky-impeachment/) So it's 2019, we're reading about Sondland name checking the Kardashians in the transcript, and it's at that point that we simply are no longer talking about Kanye' ambitions in terms of art: he's now a political player who is lending his fame to a partisan project and putting on a public show of supporting Trump, which was expressly designed by the President's son-in-law to give the reelection campaign a bump: (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/black-men-drifted-democr...). If the scales hadn't yet fallen from the consuming public's eyes about whether Kanye has any artistic integrity left, 2019 was when we had documented confirmation that he's a pure opportunist. During that stretch, Kanye becomes a billionaire: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2020/04/24...

If there's any historical legacy, I'd expect it to be more the way we talk about Wagner.

My reading is that if you aren't required to file a tax return, this thing creating a dummy simplified one won't hurt you.

But if you are required to file one, you are likely to need a real one, and the dummy one will conflict with it. But it sounds like if you file a real one, you don't need this form, and this form is only for people who wouldn't otherwise file.

But the gist of the article - that the website is implausibly bad - seems correct.

There is no retail version of Windows for ARM. It only comes pre-installed on ARM devices, or through some partner channel when you form a business deal to sell ARM devices. Last I saw the current way to get Windows on ARM was by extracting it from an old Windows IoT project build. So it's novel and interesting when someone figures out how to work around all these roadblocks to get Windows working on a consumer ARM SBC.

> The big platforms have really loosened up access to their stores and SDKs.

If by "the big platforms" you mean Nintendo and Xbox, then yes. Sony is still as shitty about it as ever.

The only difference today is that it's certainly easier to find a publisher who has an SDK, so you don't have to apply for one yourself.

IIRC, getting approved for a Sony SDK requires a hefty down payment, proof of a physical office space, and you have to submit the resumes of your development team and hope Sony thinks they're good enough. Then you have to wait many months to hear back. I think you even need to have a project under development, or at least a complete design document.

Success and wealth tend to compound intergenerationally. That can be a good thing. When societies have economic mobility, wealth tends to enter and leave families over a couple generations.

I love music from Drake, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber and the like. Their music and the fact we live in a society where stars are bred for music -- that's incredible. Fair/unfair isn't a very interesting binary. Natural variance and inequity is an important part of healthy competition. How much inequity is too much? That's a very interesting question.
Kubernetes has the concept of limits, especially on ephemeral storage; additionally: if your node becomes unhealthy then the workloads would be rescheduled on another node.

I’m super not hypey about kubernetes, mostly because the complexity surrounding networking is opaque and built on a foundation of sand... But let’s not argue things that aren’t true.

And I never divided four digit numbers per hand, yet I don't think we should drop the requirement for primary school math. I fully agree with your second point, but I think the critic is getting too hung up on the vehicle used for teaching these concepts. You don't need to implement a linked list per hand in your day job, but you need to grasp the concept and have an easy task to learn to program on.

Billing a customer for a feature they want. How much you charge the customer is going to depend on how many dev hours it will take. An accurate estimate is necessary in order to give come up with the appropriate price to charge them. Name a price that's too low, and you end up losing money on devs' salaries. Name a price too high and the customer walks away from the table
Being able to mentor and communicate effectively is a force multiplier for someone in software development. A senior dev who's capable of elevating those around them is tremendously valuable to most organizations. It absolutely should not close off any doors, and should open quite a few more.

I took a similar path as a Microsoft Technical Evangelist and then Cloud Solution Architect. I moved from building products to helping other companies build on Azure effectively. This took many paths. Sometimes all the companies needed was some high level guidance. Sometimes this required rolling up my sleeves and diving into 3rd party code base to figure out where things are going wrong. Occasionally it involves surfacing bugs to the product team and working with them on the use case to get them resolved.

Broadly I'd consider my role to be more aligned with architecture than software developer now, but that term can have a bad connotation especially in the enterprise space with many "astronaut" or "ivory tower" architects. I work with developers, product teams and engineering managers to help improve the overall software development processes. A lot of times this means being a developer advocate and helping push communication and ideas from the bottom up. Other times it means making sure some of the foundational software development practices are in place. Other times it means helping identify and close skill gaps on development teams. And then there are the times I've got to become an internal evangelist to sell the technology vision to leadership. The work is extremely diverse which is a huge plus for me. I still get to roll up my sleeves and work on interesting problems, but I'm never on the critical path for building yet another CRUD form.
