That might add an additional 1$ to the BOM. In quantity of 10 million, that's a lot of extra money for a feature that maybe 100 people will use.

Not arguing against the idea, just saying that the economics will never work in favor of this.
I won't pretend to understand how these levels compare, but it looks on par with Apple, no?

My understanding of FANG initially was that it was about tech stock performance and not compensation.
This feels like it was written by marketing, for marketing.

I just want to know what's new, but I have to wade through a bunch of prose about how "GitLab has placed strongly in several market reports" and "The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) firm’s industry-defining research..." etc.

Always interesting to see products that push down users or roles into DB users / roles. Seems like it could be a lot more secure if grants were also carefully managed. IME though there is rarely time for such pleasantries and they often get in the way of connection pooling.
It's not, my points are clear and well argued ;)

You aren't a dog, so your preference for not living under the care of a human owner is not relevant. Dogs do not outlast us in the wild, because "the wild" is the real world we live in today. Stray dogs are invasive in most ecosystems, and are usually not well adapted to their environments.

Dogs are intelligent enough to show preferences, and thanks to tens of thousands of years of selective breeding, they generally prefer people. Strays are a tragedy.

Sigh, my job took a deal from Microsoft and we've been slowly migrating from our locally hosted gitlab to GitHub. It makes me sad, even though I'm glad I resisted the urge to use any of the gitlab CI stuff. I won't be using any of the GitHub actions or whatever they are either.
I don't think you can infer quality based on an absolute number of negative stories.
Agreed. GP reads like the famous Dropbox comment. That just isn't realistic for people that aren't very tech literate.
You don't know enough developers or engineers. Much like; "If you find that you are always the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room."

Healthy communities are diverse not homogeneous. You get tunnel-vision if everybody always do things the same way. I use vim on all my servers. I tried neovim awhile ago, but found that muscle memory kept typing vim instead of (nvim/neovim whichever the program executable name is), so I made an alias and tried that for awhile.

I want to use/learn emacs too but never seem to have the time.
Does it? You sure?

"Be polite all of the time" has certainly been a lot easier to teach my own kids than "only be polite some of the time, because being polite all of the time is a bad thing"

It goes right up there with the philosophy of every thing deserves respect, even the things you don't like.
It's something but it's ephemeral and not shareable. You can't reconstruct how a piece of code got written weeks later, to eg recover some debug helpers you deleted without committing because you thought you were done with debugging it.

But thanks for the tip about Emacs undo tree, didn't know about that. With some add-ons you can apparently eg find undoable changes for only some region of a buffer, etc.
that’s 3-5 years of some people not getting absolutely crushed by medical bills… which is still a huge win. Why is the “it will change in 4 years“ argument so popular these days?
This is a well-written article that exceeded my expectations. It's easy to just point to petty examples of bias, I love that this author just picks a few polarizing topics and explores in detail how WP treats them.
As someone who gets paid to write code (nominally) and has also written a few novels, I don't agree with this characterization. From what I've seen of Copilot, it's more like having a text editor generate your next sentence or paragraph^[1]. The idea (as I see it) is that you might use it to generate some prose "boilerplate", e.g. environmental descriptions, and hack up the results until you're satisfied.

It's content generation at a fragmentary level where each "copied" chunk does not form a substantive whole in the greater body of the new work. Even if you were training it on other authors' works rather than just your own, as long as it wasn't copying distinctive sentences wholesale, I think there's a strong argument for it falling under fair use--if it's even detectable.

On the other hand, if it regurgitated somebody else's paragraph wholesale, I don't think that would be fair use. Somewhere in-between is where it gets fuzzy, and really interesting; it's also where internet commenters seem to prefer flipping over the board and storming out convinced they're right to exploring the issues with a curious and impartial mind. I see way too much unreasoned outrage and hyperbolic misrepresentation of the Copilot tool in these threads, and it's honestly kind of embarrassing.

As far as this analogy goes, it's worth noting that the structure of a computer program doesn't map onto the structure of a piece of fiction (or any work of prose) in a straightforward way. Since so much of code is boilerplate, I would (speculatively, in the copyright law sense) actually give more leeway to Copilot in terms of absolute length of copied chunks than I would for a prose autocompleter. For instance, X program may be licensed under the GPL, but that doesn't mean X's copyright holder(s) can sue somebody else because their program happened to have an identical expression of some RPC boilerplate or whatever. It would be like me suing another author because their work included some of the same words that mine did.

That's exactly it. You get sold on "You get a slice of the amazing growth of Amazon", but are buying into the fact Amazon can cut you out at any time, for any reason, and you have no recourse.
I cannot understand how, almost 20 years after it was first created, a default install of WordPress still falls down gracelessly when faced with any significant traffic. There's no reason why a sensible default configuration can't automatically serve a cached version of an article.

As it is, the default posture of WP is to be software suitable for those who write things that very few people will read.
It's a missing piece in the modeling. While this was only one event, it results in a mountain of data. I expect that taking this data into account should improve the accuracy of climate modeling in the future.

A common saying in Canada "a little warming can go a long way for Canadian agriculture" is looking outdated now. Canada and Siberia might not be the safe havens that folks have been counting on as hotter climes exceed the lethal 35° wet bulb temperature
Wow, I’ve been a vim user for like 8+ years and didn’t know about 0p even though I run into that problem all the time. I had even re-bound yank/paste to use a different register. Thanks for the pointer!

This is what I love about vim, there’s always something new to learn.
The artist was already the consumer. Whatever the medium, the artist has to ultimately select particular things as "works of [their] art". If I paint my bathroom and then go on to paint a masterful painting, probably only one of those things is going to end up in a gallery, and that relies on there being a consumer.

Pretty good description of the problem and its causes.
Wikipedia has been on this slippery slope since the late 2000s, and its inability to maintain objective/neutral articles is the reason I stopped my large contributions back then.

Just look at wikipedia's one-sidedness relative to "kids in cages" of Obama vs Trump vs Biden. Holy cow, I didn't realize their bias had gotten this bad.
It's rarer these days, but there are still plenty of devs who don't think static types are important.
Great points, I agree. I worked through undergrad and lived at home myself, so really I should have thought of that.
Take this with a grain of salt, perhaps I'm just not in a good headspace for reading this.

The first two paragraphs of the first section (The next iteration of Dev Ops) reads like it was written by someone at Gartner trying to get my 11 person business to buy a report for $50K that still won't actually tell me if the product will do the things I need it to. I imagine it's exciting for investors, but it made me sad and made me suddenly (and likely unfairly) scared that the features were going to take a back seat to the "placing strongly in several markets".

That being said I read through the feature list and while none are specific things I needed it certainly sounds pretty great. We made the switch from github to gitlab about 4 years ago and I haven't really ran into any major issues or frustrations. So for what its worth after my comment above a BIG thank you to the Gitlab team.
Can you give an example of bad information on Wikipedia?

• LSP means Language Server Protocol [0]

• ALE means Asynchronous Lint Engine [1]

[0] https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/

[1] https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale
I've been using the nightly builds for a while now, and the language server support works very well, but for me the most exciting part of Neovim is Lua. Lua isn't the headlining feature of v0.5, but the API has still grown a lot since the last release.

As an example of why I love Lua support, I wrote a small file finding plugin for myself because I wasn't satified with the many alternatives (not a huge fan of fuzzy-matching). It took only a couple days to have a working plugin, and it has been fun to extend it with new features over the last month. The Lua API is relatively straightforward, and it really lowers the bar for writing plugins and small helper functions to add to your config.

Switching from Vim is not necessary, but Lua support alone was enough to convince me to give it a try, and is the main reason I have stayed with Neovim.
Why is there no push-back against using the word Slave that originates from word "Slav" due to enslavement of Slavic people?

Integrated LSP is quite nice (and the ecosystem around it is just getting started), but it’s not the thing I’m most excited about.

My favourite new thing is actually tree-sitter. Currently it’s being hyped for better syntax highlighting (which is nice), but I’m most excited about defining text objects on language constructs. I really don’t like trying to shoehorn words, sentences and paragraphs to deal with parameters, scopes, functions etc. Having language-aware text objects for these is really neat.

I don’t think it’s anything that would be impossible to get working in Vim, but being built-in is pretty nice.

Apple purchased Siri from a startup of the same name. The startup founder chose the name because he liked it, having first heard of it because it was the name of a former coworker.

lots of stuff. but mainly:

* ease of getting started. nvim is just vim, you can bring over your vim config and it'll just work.

* tree-sitter. google it to believe it

I once called 911 when my wife had an Asthma attack that left her unable to speak or stand. She was transfered from an ambulance to a paramedic about half way to the hospital. My insurance covered one as in-network but not the other. My wife was released a few hours later. I was young and it took me about 10 years to pay off the dept I owed. I am extremely hesitant to call an ambulance if the person can be encouraged to move under their own power. So much so, that I was asked to sign papers when a family physician suggested an ambulance. This rule looks like it helps.

Is it possible that Copilot just put Quake's source code into the public domain?

From the Copilot FAQ:

Who owns the code GitHub Copilot helps me write?

GitHub Copilot is a tool, like a compiler or a pen.
The suggestions GitHub Copilot generates, and the code you write with its help, belong to you, and you are responsible for it.
We recommend that you carefully test, review, and vet the code, as you would with any code you write yourself.

Copilot can probably recite most of Quake's source code and according to the FAQ, the output of Copilot belongs to the user.

I think a point where this argumentation might fail is that Quake's source code does not belong to Github directly, but instead both Github and Quake belong to Microsoft. However, I am not a lawyer, so I might be wrong.
It was a good point and valid concern.

I was really hoping, they could use it to break both of us out of the trap. It didn't work. It's possible they didn't understand that's what I was trying to do. They were already pretty agitated and I was pretty frustrated. But I tried to make it clear I wasn't aiming it at them.

And each time their seeming fear and agitation preceded it by quite a bit. It was linked to us being unsatisfied with what they could offer us and asking to be escalated. And their inability to escalate at all.

They're left with the inability to solve the problems they're faced with, and no one of higher authority to pass those problems on to.
