It's solving 'mechanical' problem. The optimistic twist on this helper is that it just raises the bar - human programmer should better be more useful than 'brainless' code generator - meaning not only being able to write a loop or solve leetcode task, but also understand context and what he's trying to solve for.

As you say typing code is not a bottleneck for problem solving
Think what you will of GPLv3, but lies help no one. Of course it doesn't require you to give up your encryption keys.
It's weird. People want destiny/karma to be real so they blame a random pool worker even when the truth isn't incompatible with destiny/karma.

This is not an example of a random collapse. It is an example of what happens when you do absolutely everything wrong.
Coding is inherently difficult -- any tools even as basic as color highlighting/spell checking massively help understanding code in front of you. There isn't a hope this can replace any programmers but instead aid their workflow. I great example is simply refactoring code with SOLID after building a feature or fixing a bug -- a lot of this can be easily automated. Having a machine suggest and a human accept is a worthy trade off. Another similar example is the Google bot that presents search suggestions for you.

I don't think your concerns are well grounded.
We don't have such a guide yet, but it's a good idea. At the moment, all of our stocks are available through every legacy brokerage. Some brokers allow you to specify when you do a trade which venue the trade gets routed to, and you can specify LTSE today for that purpose.

I do expect over time listed companies will develop special rewards and benefits for long-term investors. Our rules are designed to make sure that any such programs are equally available to retail investors to casually join in, as you say
I see why you use a throwaway account.
> equal response teaches them immediately that committing those acts leads to a negative outcome.

I could say just as logically and with the same lack of evidence say that hitting kids to control them teaches them that violence is a good technique to get your way.
I'm curious to see how people will vilify Walmart for this one. Making insulin more affordable is clearly a good thing, right?
Oh, the Cliqz browser; thought you meant the search engine. Yeah, that's no secret (https://cliqz.com/en/privacy-browser, scroll down to “1) Telemetry”) and you can turn it off in the settings.
It is variable.
But I'm 220, 6'6"
I use ~24 units per day basal rate (continuously pumped, amount programmed over 24 hours)
And 1 unit of insulin per 15 grams carbohydrate.
I usually average ~50 units per day.

Additionally my pump (tandem x2) has a lot of loss due to their loading system. For 300 units loaded, you get 250 deliverable units. Reloads happen about every 5 days.

For use per month, I have 2 vials per month prescribed.

If you are thinking about cost: pump insertion sets and continuous glucose monitoring sensors are all very expensive as well.
Maybe I reacted optimistically because your objections are reasonable and relatable. But I‘m still very interested in how this will actually play out. I want to see and feel it in action.
All I can think of is how many times I've grabbed a code example from StackOverflow only to discover it had some obvious bug in it. The answer is many, many times.
From the application engineer side I'm not convinced that Kubernetes is particularly complex. I recently ramped up on it and found it liberating, frankly. Once I understood the basic concepts it was much more sensible than staring at a mountain of bespoke Ansible scripts operating on components I could barely see or understand.

I can't speak to the SRE side; I can imagine the complexity there. But are these challenges greater than maintaining, observing, and modifying a Rube Goldberg machine of managed AWS services?
That doesn't cover it, since that is a technical answer for a non-technical question. The same questions remain.
That's just a badly designed user experience though. If they had stuck to miles as they should have, it would have been even simpler that the one that switches between kilometers and metres.
haha - I've visited LA and also thought it was a shallow experience ;) Also, sounds like you haven't traveled much.

And yes, I do read a books first 10 pages and stop reading it. Sometimes i read the first couple pages of each chapter and stop reading it. I never claim i read the whole book, or understand every nook and cranny of the rhetoric, but that book will still shape my subconscious going forward.

I feel travel is the same. As you go around the world you learn that no one has the answers, each place is entirely based on your experience of that city and everyone has different philosophies in life. It provides a sense of empathy to ideas. Meeting people who worked at hostels or people who bought a sailing boat, some fishing poles and some rice and traveled vastly changed the way i look at the world. Life is really easy in actuality, we as a species seem to complicate it.

Travel has brought me a vast amount of serenity and peacefulness in my normal life, because normal life can never be as hard as traveling.
vaccines have been effective against it as well
You're right. But how often do you want to rewrite that code? It may be worth accepting a few -isms (and the associated performance hit) in order to be able to write something like this instead of having to bang out the imperative version:

<BulletedList [(DataSource)]="MyCollectionProperty" />
I see any system that requires people to have and use a smart phone to be negative for inclusivity and accessibility. Use this technology for progessive enhancement, not as a replacement.
I just want to say that this website is beautiful. It's visually pleasing and spare. The HTML is purely semantic, and the CSS is no more than necessary.

Ask HN: jQuery Migrating Guinea Pigs?
We (a slightly stealthy startup) are building a tool that automatically migrates a codebase to the latest version of jQuery. Basically what Dependabot does, but with changing your code to make sure it is not affected by any breaking changes in jQuery.

Do you know of any open-source projects that are still pre 3.0? We would jump in and help with the migration.

> There are growing bodies of evidence that spike proteins travel throughout your body, don't stay isolated at the injection site, and can cause severe reactions in some people

Will you share citation(s) for the evidence you mention?

I'm aware of the heart inflammation concerns, but as of yet, I have not seen this described as "the spike protein traveling throughout your body".

> In other words, for "minor" illnesses like flu, it might not be a net benefit.

The spike proteins exist only to provide immunity to this specific coronavirus. What are you suggesting re: illnesses like flu?
This is also how I do it but I would also like some sort of computer based tools to help learn.
Took my grandparents out to lunch last week and they were literally incapable of using the QR codes. Technology has advanced to the point where they can't even read the menus at restaurants because they don't have smartphones.

Luckily restaurants have paper menus as backups.
Even snippets are so bad I have to turn them off. I can't even fathom how bad the suggestions are going to be for full blocks of code. But I guess I'll see soon...
Good for him. As someone who struggles with serious anxiety issues I decided not to do interviewing anymore as it just became too debilitating - days of worrying before the interview, the feeling of dread and doom. That point in the interview when the interviewer says "Ok, now I'm going to ask you a few technical questions..." my heart rate would skyrocket and I'd start sweating perfusely. It's just really difficult to shine in an interview when you're also fighting to stay lucid, let alone calm. It's like there are all these processes that suddenly spin up and swamp your mental CPU. I'm retired from interviewing.
For that very reason, many companies have policies that forbid copying code from online (especially from StackOverflow).
> Almost as if programmers think that writing programs is the worst part of the job and ready to be automated away.

writing the programs is definitely boring garbage work. Typing is so slow and annoying - hence autocomplete being a standard tool. This is, to me, just fancy autocomplete.

> to an increase in boilerplate and the acceptance of it because they make it easier to manage.

Boilerplate optimizes for the right things - code that's easier to read and analyze, but takes longer to write. IDEs and tools like this cut the cost of writing, giving us easier to read code and easier to analyze code for free.

IDEs have supported templates forever. I never write out a full unit test, I type `tmod` and `tfn` and then fill in the blanks. This is basically the same thing to me.

> Folks that still expect you to only check in code you understand and can explain will become a minority.

This isn't true at all. Having used TabNine I don't have it write code for me, it just autocompletes code that's already in my head, give or take some symbol names maybe being different.

All this is is a fancy autocomplete with a really cool demo.
LOL!

No problem.

Tyler's definitely a nerd, but he's one of those magnificently brilliant nerds that you can't help watching for hours at a time.
I see a different path forward based on the success of AlphaGo.

This looks like a clever example of supervised learning. But supervised learning doesn't get you cause and effect, it is just pattern matching.

To get at cause and effect, you need reinforcement learning, like AlphaGo. You can imagine an AI writing code that is then scored for performing correctly. Overtime the AI will learn to write code that performs as intended. I think coding can be used as a "playground" for AI to rapidly improve itself, like how AlphaGo could play Go over and over again
> As someone who has written fiddly DOM manipulation code, no its not my preference over React JSX, but having the level of understanding TO write surgical DOM manip code should be a basic floor of ability for any web developer using react or otherwise imo.

As a bootcamper who came from a philosophy background to frontend, you will be surprised how many 15 year "veterans" in web dev can't write coherent code without a framework, couldn't tell you how designing data one way or another impacts their code design, and when you confront them on this, bring it to their attention, they find any which way to dismiss the problem with "do we really need that"/"why do we need that" as if their's virtue in pretending to be the Product team in the face of shoddy engineering. Enterprise agile largely enable this fairly low floor. Engineers can handwaive anything in the name of the holy right now.
Really happy to read that most readers are critical about this article. This article is extremely shortsighted! Kids don’t fall for this trap. Life is about people and relationships.

p.s. Steve Jobs is already forgotten. Bill Gates will be joining that list too. Now that we know his dirty secrets, fastet than expected.
Project Zero is a (very public) Google project though. If they stand behind their choices and policies, they should live by them.

Does GitHub Copilot grant you a license to the code it generates? How does it know you haven't just copied some proprietary code which is not free?
I appreciate this insight, as a proponent of progress studies. It is indeed a pragmatic view of what the industry will be or should be. I believe the thing that would be also appreciated would be a pair security auditor. Most vulnerabilities in software can be avoided early on in development , I
believe this could be a great addition to Github's Security Lab securitylab.github.com/

Visual Studio ran on Windows on Arm64 since the very beginning, it had broken local debugging for quite a while though... (and of course, doesn't run natively but under binary translation)

Officially though, it is not considered as supported.

> The way I would capture an action item during a meeting would be to underline (if handwritten) or bold (if typed) the part in the note and commit it to memory. Important things would always get remembered by the very nature of being important, but the slightly-less-important-but-still-valuable items would often slip my mind.

> This was the difference between being good and great at my job. It’s the stuff that, when missed, no one really notices, but when you’re on top of it, people think you’re superhuman.

Before starting work at a large company, I would have scoffed at the idea that "remembering little stuff" could ever be "superhuman."

Now? I'm right there with the author. The people I work with who consistently come to meetings with updates like "oh, and I took care of <small-but-important thing>" are my heroes.
Up work sucks, don't waste your time. Start by moonlighting.

I started by creating a one person llc and a business account, and moving over my expenses. Even before making money the fees are offset by tax writeoffs. My first client was a friend that wanted some help w/ his startup, then my first big client was a former employer. The first quarter you make money you start filing a 1040.
This is simply not true. A sustained nuclear chain reaction just needs to be physically reconfigured a bit to produce a reaction excursion. It's true that modern designs have made good progress in things like intervention-free failsafes that make such reconfigurations much less likely. It's simply not possible eliminate the possibility entirely.

And in any case, this is a piece of military hardware which might plausibly be "reconfigured" be being struck by a rocket. It's not a civilian reactor inside a secure facility.

Your statement is analogous to saying "charcoal grills do not start forest fires". Used correctly, they certainly shouldn't. But they sure as hell can if you kick them over on a dry summer day. Same deal here.
I've done a similar mental experiment with oil. The US consumes about 20 million barrels of oil per day. Here is a useful visualization: imagine a (US) football stadium from the air with a huge black cube floating above like something from a sci-fi movie. The cube is about 50% larger on a side than the distance between goal lines. That cube of oil is about how much the US burns in a day.
Both are Google - from an outside view we shouldn't distinguish. Google should hold itself to a consistent bar.

It highlights how divisions operate in silos at Google, and just because Project Zero causes a lot of positive security marketing for Google, it doesn't seem that the quality bar is consistently high across the company.

Also, please don't forget this is still not fixed.
pg hasn't been running Y Combinator for over 7 years!

You've got your causality reversed. It's not that this essay exists because of YC, it's that YC exists because PG is obsessed with the idea of doing great work. (There are other reasons too, of course, but that was one vector.) He was that way long before YC.
To be able to make these suggestions means you must have significant experience and knowledge of the internet backbone. Super impressive.
I'm fairly certain he has considered it. I don't think it's possible to have a debate on free speech where that's not addressed. I touched on it in one of my other replies below:

"I'm not a proponent of unlimited free speech. It's those grey areas that concern me. Like, using Hitch's example, is holocaust denial hate speech or an incitement to violence? Under certain circumstances, I imagine it would be. It's easy for me to say it should be allowed because I know the majority of society right now would dismiss their claims, but at what point (in terms of the percentage of society) would I start to feel uneasy about the idea being discussed? Is it better then to censor it outright? What if, as Hitch says:

... Might contain a grain of historical truth; might, in any case, give people to think why do they know
what they think they already know.

I can't bring myself to tell someone else they can't consider the idea, but I can also understand why someone might want to censor that. So what does one do? I don't know, but my intuition points me to the former and hope that we've educated society enough to handle that."

Those overlapping atoms are just artifacts of the energy minimization they used that was not able to find a proper conformation. They may have filtered molecules with highly defavorable energies to avoid that.
The headline for the second article is with regards to prioritizing vaccination in places where demand outstrips supply. The conclusion of the study is:

"Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before."

And from the body of the article:

"Experts say that more research is needed to determine how long immunity lasts after a case of COVID-19. Until we have that data, some infectious disease specialists are recommending that people who’ve had COVID-19 still get one dose."

And:

"Given the limited availability of the vaccines in certain countries, the findings add to the growing belief that the vaccines should be prioritized for those who haven’t previously had COVID-19."
Right - if the hardware is no longer selling (due to missing sales targets) then there's little incentive for the companies to still invest significant resources into maintaining it. Of course one option would be to open source it entirely and turn it over the community for long term support, but the companies like holding onto whatever little bits of IP they can (even if they are largely just implementing open source software to begin with, and nothing super speceial).

This is a problem. I don't know the solution, except that companies should really commit to LTS support of things no matter the sales targets.

As a business / product person I am naturally wondering how much more productive this will make my engineering team, should I overtime expect to reduction in costs, faster shipping times...or will the benefit manifest itself in more reliable code...?

For a lot of people, influenza is deadly, and so not at all "minor". Outside of pandemic, we should move slowly and cautiously, but yeah, if we can perfect this out to a better way to fight the flu, that'd save a lot of lives.
Exactly so it needs licensing of some sort - this is closer to cover tunes than it is to someone getting a CS degree and being asked to credit Knuth for all their future work.
It frustrates me when people bring out the "it depends" card and because then you can't condemn anything. I condemn TV, as it is a waste of time for most people. More importantly, it is a waste of headspace and mental energy. Obviously this doesn't apply if your work is to be a filmmaker. But PG addresses this point well: if that is not your deep interest, then it's a waste of time. Most people don't watch TV out of deep interest and high motivation, except perhaps people like Christopher Nolan.

So if I make AI that takes copyrighted material in one side, jumbles it about, and spits out the same copyrighted material on the other side, I have successfully laundered someone else's work as my own?

Wouldn't GitHub potentially be responsible for the infringement by distributing the copyrighted material knowing that it would be published?
This was exactly my experience as well when I recently went to some restaurants for the first time since pre-pandemic.

GP's experience sounds great; an interactive mobile/responsive website that I can directly order from would be more convenient than the traditional experience. PDFs are basically fine, but given the option I'd rather have a physical menu.

(Thankfully, I haven't yet heard of or encountered a QR code that redirected me to an app; that would be a pretty quick way to make me leave if no alternative were provided.)
Unfortunately Graham provides no data or references to back up his claims that the iconic figures I mentioned worked hard or whether that was a factor.

My criticism is that there is a risk about putting yourself or your buddies (I assume Collison is one) in the same frame as people who are exceptionally notable. Hence I will give Gladwell a break as a journalist just bombastically making claims to entertain people because he is talking about other people.
This isn't a "ban" this is a decision to not spend CA state money to fund travel to these locations.

Private funded travel is fine.

Damn that’s the best objection I read so far. Writing readable code is already hard and something I aspire to.
I've visited and really enjoyed that model. I'm in Texas and we're not progressive at all in this realm; or many other realms when comparing to a progressive state like Washington.
Traditional vaccines have also been "unreasonably effective". I'm all for mRNA going forward (I got pfizer myself) but lets not downplay just how effective the "old" tech has been against covid. It's really quite amazing how well we've been able to target it. Now if only we could get more people to accept that the vaccines are safe...

> How is it different from the status quo of people just doing the wrong thing or copy pasting bad code?

Well, yes, the wrong code would be used. However - the wrong code would then become more prevelant as an answer from gh, causing more people to blindly use it. It's a self-perpetuating cycle of finding and using bad and wrong code.
I still think you're strawmanning the essay (and I'm sorry you didn't figure out sooner what you wanted to do with your life - that really sucks!).

Bill Gates knew what he really wanted to do and what interested him so not taking a day off was probably a no-brainer.

If you had been able to realize earlier that travelling the world was what you wanted to do, then you could have put all your efforts into making that happen.

I think the essay is suggesting that merely working hard without enough of that effort spent on the directional problem won't yield the results you want, ultimately. So I think the suggestions here taken holistically are useful to a theoretical-younger version of you.
