Which, to me, is why we should be focusing on new ways to produce energy. Solar and wind is nice, but we could revolutionize humanity and save the earth if we found a way to build cheap energy sources with a density of gigawatts per cubic yard.

What better way to save the earth and solve the population problem than to have the energy production capabilities to simply build e.g. ringworlds? Even that's not out of the realm of possibility with that kind of energy available.
What do you mean by "lost"? As far as I know we still lived, albeit in more or less restricted circumstances. I would suggest taking a step back and reevaluating if the past year really has been worse than dying.

That's like saying rent prices depend on the will of god. Retroactively, you can justify this claim regardless of what happened: "It was god's will" or "You had to adapt your price to the demand".
I'd agree, for desktop programs specifically. "Web App" UX & design is a source of much UX & design employment, yet is largely god-awful, and it's infected desktop program design (via Electron, in part). The result is that 90s-style programmer-designed desktop UI sometimes is better, not because they're especially good, but because current trends are terrible and 90s-style desktop program design is better than what's trendy now.

I don't think this means open source desktop programs are a great place to look for top-notch UI/UX inspiration.
I think the real issue is less about the "copying short snippets", and more about how it was done, i.e zero transparency, default opt in without any regards to licensing (with no way to opt out??) and last but not least - planning to charge money for it.

It would be neat if there was a way to supply a "diff hint" or something right in your git commit metadata. Obviously the receiver/reviewer/renderer can ultimately do whatever they want, but it would helpful if I as the one preparing the change could at least specify intent.

I guess projects like the kernel where the review system is built around emailed patches kind of already get this for free— once committed, the change will be rendered according to the local user's git settings, but during the review itself, it will be a diff prepared by the change's author that will be under discussion.

In a glorious future where GitLab has four different diff options, it would be great if I could specify that I want it to default to the hinted diff tool, falling back to my preferred one if there is no hint.

That's not the case. It wasn't an out-of-court-settlement, but an agreement about the damages being sought, the court had already found it to be infringing, and that was part of the ruling.

But none of that changes that 9-lines is substantial enough to be infringing. It isn't necessary to be a large body of work.

No... It means the rangeCheck function was infringing. The implication you seem to have inferred here wouldn't be inferred by any kind of plagiarism case.
> but why are landlords even allowed to demand proof of no felonies?!

As someone who has worked on tenant screening software, landlords typically care about a criminal history involving sex offenses or drug manufacturing. In case of recidivism, the former creates liability from other tenants if issues arise during tenancy, and the latter has potential for property destruction and/or harm to neighboring units.

There are also typically time limits on how far "back" they can look, typically 5-7 years at the most.
It amazes me how people think the worlds largest advertising company is pushing DoH out of alturism. That pihole you're running? That 'steals' money from google. DOH gets rid of that.
No, I personally think the US should manufacture more at home so we can control the process and reduce as many emissions as we can. I believe we are doing an okay job, and the numbers show, but we could be doing even more if politicians tried.

I also think we should invest more in natural gas and nuclear to wean off of coal entirely. While continuing investments in renewables in areas that make sense (wind in Texas, solar in Arizona, geo thermal, hydro, etc.) In addition to continuing researching new materials to replace others that may cause more emissions.

I'd just like to see the largest emissions tackled as well since time is off the essence apparently.

Also not a huge fan of plastic dumping, and anyone who does that should be sanctioned.

I criticize US politicians every damn day, but I can call the CCP out in this thread at the same time. It's not a countries fault, it's the leaders, and the CCP is authoritarian, they could do these things if they wanted to.

As far as US leaders... Democrats need to embrace the nat. gas pipelines, fracking, nuclear, and domestic manufacturing. Republicans need to embrace renewables in areas that make sense. Republicans have warmed up to renewables, Texas runs on 100% wind some days, but we need nat. gas for peak periods. Both parties need to support nuclear and sanctioning polluters.

Don't get me started on Europe...

That doesn't seem true. Popular platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter still have a lot of "pro-farmer" posts and at least the former two are not exactly in a tussle with the Government.

* They both process source code as input.

* They both produce software as output.

* They both transform their input.

* They both can combine different works to create a derivative work of each work. (Compilers do this with optimizations, especially inlining with link-time optimization.)

They really do the same things, and yet, we say that the output of compilers is still under the license that the source code had. Why not Copilot?
Ah yes, the human-hatrack developer.

Hats! More hats! You're not a real full-stack developer unless you can do the work of eight or ten people on one salary.

The spec. could specify exactly the rules rustc actually has including iteration limits, this would freeze rustc (and so it would be undesirable) but it is an option.

The thing we're talking about here has changed after Rust 1.0, Rust 1.0 shipped with a rule that said if you match integers you have to provide a default. In lots of code that feels natural. But not everywhere. If you match all possible integers (e.g. for a i8 that's from -128 to 127), the compiler would say "Not good enough" until you write the default match it will never actually need.

That was fixed with feature(exhaustive_integer_patterns) in 2018 or so AIUI.

But you could imagine Rust being standardised with the old behaviour and, even though it's clearly possible to write a compiler which implements feature(exhaustive_integer_patterns) that would then be non-standard because Rust programs lacking the default match for integers are forbidden in the standard.

Agreed. Gimp is feature rich and has a high learning curve.

This is not the same thing as bad UX.
My theory for Java is that it was frog boiling turned cargo culting.

Comparatively speaking Java compilation was very fast at the beginning, so for instance Red-Green-Refactor (RGR) works pretty well. There's a parallel to other creative jobs where sometimes shuffling around the things you already have reveals a pattern that leads to a breakthrough.

But there are other feedback loops that, with J2EE in particular, the cycle times started to creep up, and up, and at some point if you haven't stopped and looked at what you're doing you don't see how crazy things have gotten. RGR still has a place there because you are typically not recompiling everything and you aren't spooling up the application to run unit tests. But making one line changes to see how a page loads is just bonkers amounts of busy work.

One of the bad dynamics is that people more like you also tend to memorize the code, which is both bad for new hires (circular logic does not reveal itself when you introduce one assertion at at time, but does when you get hit with all of them at once), and also incentivizes you push back on refactoring. Because those damned smartasses keep moving things around and they were Just Fine where they were. If that happens you have cemented the entire codebase and anything that is really wrong with it is going to stay wrong until someone proposes a rewrite. And having learned the wrong lessons the first time, we repeat them again in the second iteration.
Huh. Apparently the default Amiga Topaz font was redesigned for Kickstart ROM 2.0 without changing the name of the font. Compared to the old version, the new Topaz font does look rather generic.

It would help the transformativeness, but it would substantially change the effect upon the market. By creating competing products with the copyrighted material, there is a higher degree of transformative, but you also end up disrupting the marketplace.

I don't know how a court would decide this, but I do think the facts in future GPT-3 cases are sufficiently different from Author's Guild that I could see it going any way. Plus, I think the prevalence of GPT-3 and the ramifications of the ruling one way or another could lead some future case to be heard by the Supreme Court. A similar case could come up in California, or another state where the 2nd Circuit Artist Guild case isn't precedent.

I worked at a startup and took a salary reduction in exchange for stock options with a one year cliff.

I will NEVER make that mistake again.
Doesn't matter that it's a technical preview; people are using it now, GitHub has already used it internally. So if it infringes now, there is already code out there being used that does infringe.
There are situations where the question is are the mishmashes from Copilot 'fair use'.

But the other, more direct question is ... what about the instances where Copilot doesn't come up with a learned mishmash result? What happens when Copilot just gives you a straight up answer from it's learning data, verbatim?

Then you, as a dev, end up with a bunch of code that is effectively copied, via a 'copying tool', which is GPL'd?

It's that specific case that to me sticks out as the 'most concerning part'.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The big question in San Francisco is “what does the parking cost?” Very few complexes disclose this; you must give a human your name, number, and expected move date before they will say. It’s a scummy, car dealership-like experience.

I do not think face to face interactions with landlords help when the landlord knows they are providing a poorly kept property to begin with.

I’ve had a landlord that would use various manipulative techniques to get people to sign leases.

Promises of future fixes, charm, references to the difficulty of finding a place, hints toward other interest.

Landlords can not be trusted to be benevolent. They are like the pre-Uber taxi drivers.

Landlords lack accountability and provide services to people in positions of vulnerability. They take advantage of the asymmetric power differentials and do it in the name of profit.
