Same, I do quite a bit of mistakes like pasting secrets and immediately deleting them right after, and I also have local secrets that are gitignored which I think copilot would just upload without a second thought.
Yeah, it's a mess. Learn CSS. For real. Use the cascade, it's there for a reason. CSS has variables and animations and can even do interactivity. Vanilla JS will take you far if you learn it thoroughly. (MDN[0] is your friend) ES Modules exist and work natively in the browser. Use them to organize your code. React is crazy popular, learning it is good to have it on your résumé if nothing else, but it needs huge and slow dev tooling. If you want a framework, use Preact[1] (React but tiny, if you use it with htm[2] you won't need a build step) or Svelte[3]. Babel isn't needed unless you are targeting old browsers, and even if you are Closure Compiler[4] works better.

There are repeated calls demanding people with antibodies should be required to get a vaccine shot. However most available science points towards natural immunity having slightly better protection. Is there any science whatsoever showing that antibodies + 1 more shot is better than 2 vaccine shots + 1 additional shot? If antibodies are still more protected than 2 shots, how do we know which option provides the most marginal protection? You could easily make the case that since the current science is showing natural antibodies have more comprehensive protection than 2 dose shots, that maybe our first priority should be giving 2 dosers a third shot?

I'm curious as to how relevant Copilot would be when autocompleting code that is specific to my codebase in particular, like Tabnine completes most used filters as soon as I type the db table name for the query. I'm a big tabnine fan because it provides this feature. I'm much more often looking to be suggested a line than an entire function because I'm mostly writing business logic.

also tabnine is useless in multi-lines completes. which is where co-pilot should be strong.
What is the word on how much of an impact long term immunity had on how well some regions managed the virus?

Edit: I should say I'm expecting to see that it was not impactful. Would still be nice to see papers on it.
Isn’t the number of antibodies after a COVID infection far lower than after receiving the vaccine? I thought that’s why a jab after an infection is actually still recommended, to boost the number to levels that vaccinated see?

My previous post was a bit too glib, so here's an explanation:

There's a common belief on Hacker News which verges on mental illness, that the best solution to any problem is free market capitalism. This belief is false because free market capitalism doesn't solve problems when the customer isn't the person with the problem.

The problem in this case is a chicken-and-egg problem: it's hard to get money without an education, and it's hard to get an education without money.

For-profit education cannot solve the problem, because for-profit education is the problem. If the customer is the student, then that means people without money can't be students. If you start letting people without money be students, then the customer is someone else, and the customer's incentives will always be misaligned with the student's interests in some ways. There simply isn't a way to fix this which makes any sense and still includes for-profit education.
Yeah, I could see something like an open restaurant where you come in, scan the QR code, place the order, and get/pay for your food all without really interacting with someone. That'd be great, but I'd want a "push for server" button on every table for people without smart phones or people that don't know how to interact with QR codes.

It certainly could be made super slick (embedding the table number, for example, in each QR code).

But with all that, it'd cost money. So pretty much the only places you'll see do this well are big chains which tend to have crappy food.

> but natively is the mouthful of `document.querySelectorAll('selector')`

I'm curious as to whether there's a proper use case for querySelectorAll. I always use the getElementsByClassName, getElementById, and getElementsByTagName based on what I want. I find the more general querySelectorAll to be too likely to produce a bug when someone uses a CSS class name that equals a tag or ID. You can make it work, but I find it's too easy to re-use a word in different context, especially if it's different people doing the coding vs CSS.
I think reitzensteinm was referring to the actual data inside the ring. There is a false sharing problem there particularly for the MPMC type ring buffer like disruptor.

I disagree. I prefer talks, most of the time, especially on stuff that isn't nitty gritty technical. Do I want someone explaining to me on stage how to install minikube and deploy a container? Hell no.

But take what Fowler did, namely talking about refactoring, organizing and structuring your code - the broad strokes stuff. I think it's a lot more enjoyable and effective to listen to a talk (esp in person) for that, than it is to read about it.

Humans are social creatures, and I do enjoy the human aspect of learning from another human. Teaching is performative. I don't get that from a text as much as from a talk.

Of course, everyone's different, and that's why it's good it doesn't have to be either or.

Neither in practice (because it doesn't look for it) nor legally in the US, if Microsoft’s contention that such use is “fair use” under US copyright law.

That “fair use” is an Americanism and not a general feature of copyright law might create some interesting international wrinkles, though.
In my opinion, the EU doesn't rely on litigation to define the economic landscape in the same way that the USA does.

Catching out these corporations in order to lay a 'charge' shouldn't be necessary, when it's quite clear to most people that their behaviour is stifling competition.

We simply need to implement the necessary legislation to enable a playing field which is able to serve a greater range of players.

I have been on both sides of the stick.

At a previous place we set up a cluster on AWS. This was before EKS. We started out with kops initially but later used the generated CFN yaml. It was not an easy feat. There was a lot of gotchas, moving pieces and much more. All of these moving pieces had their own gotchas. Plus lots of competition in the area with not a lot of comparisons since it was early days. Many things were not fully stable. A lot of issues. We got there in the end, but it wasn't easy.

On the flip side, we were able to onboard people with their services in days, not weeks (previously the company ran their own datacentres). Teams were allowed to go to AWS directly, or go to our K8s cluster. I was able to observe the lead time of 3 teams, 2 chose k8s, 1 chose AWS. Those going to K8s were able to get their prod environment running within a week. The other team took a month to do their dev environment. All three teams deployed a single stateless service.

This is obviously anecdotal, but I was really impressed with the user friendliness of kubernetes for the consumers.

Nowadays, 4 years later at my current company, it's a different story with every major provider managing the clusters for you. At my current company we haven't taken the jump yet, so unfortunately I can't fully compare, but the little I've played with EKS, it's as easy as simple crud operations.

I haven't had to use it much since covid started as I'm mostly at home these days and I used it to access my LAN when I was out.

I have tried to use it over mobile data and wasn't very lucky, and that's something that used to work great. I couldn't tell if it was due to ZT or the carrier. There's CGNAT on both ends, which could be getting in the way, although like I said it used to work great.

I have also noticed that it takes longer than I was used to get IP, find routes between nodes, etc but once those are up it works well.

No, as other commenters pointed out coronaviruses are different from the flu viruses in that they cannot mutate as easily as flu does. Hence it is possible that booster shots will not be required.

I hear you. It's a balance. You grab a library or open-source project, boom! Done. Move on dot org.

Except later, maybe your project needs some custom functionality. Now you have to dig into docs to see if it's possible, then deeper into the source code to see if you can monkey patch using something undocumented. Maybe now it takes more time to cobble together what you need than wiring something lean from first principles. Understood the full import of the dependency from get.

OP's idea is that the FTC punted this at the direction of an elected official who gets campaign donations from tech companies. It does not follow that because the FTC has a revolving door problem (which it definitely does), there was executive pressure to punt. Furthermore, FTC officials tend to work at corporations primarily because they are among the most knowledgeable and well-connected people in the space, not necessarily because there is some kind of slow-acting quid pro quo here. It's still a problem, but it's not really analogous to the idea OP had.

Several years back, I did an internship at Western Digital. I was a software intern on a hardware team in testing working on a project that no one on the team was capable of doing. It quickly became obvious it was more appropriate for a contractor to build than an intern, and was even told as much, but they went with the intern route because it "required fewer signatures".

It was glaringly obvious that software was not part of the company's core competency. Worse, was that software was treated as a nuisance and afterthought to the hardware. No idea how today's Western Digital compares, but I generally steer clear of the company's products that rely on any non-trivial software.

"Why work hard"

To me, it seems that if we've put ourselves in a society that requires hard work, we've failed somewhere along the way, when do you run a business and value making things harder for customers? So if we've made societal success hard, we've kind of failed as a society in my opinion.
