I always felt cheated when teachers do this. Either I’m the better one in the pair, and I’m forced to waste my time doing the teacher’s job teaching simple concepts instead of learning anything new myself, or I’m the less knowledgeable in the pair, and instead of listening to a professional I’m stuck being tutored by an amateur who doesn’t know how to explain anything.

We just let them group themselves. If there's an odd number of students, a group of three is allowed. Every couple of years there's a "bad experience", in which one of the students does all the work, or some kind of conflict. But so far it seems to be a good choice overall (after the deal, the students generally say that it was a happy experience).
I like how you added "and the point stands" to your own comment.
I spent 4 marvellous days at a semi-private psychedelic trance festival in deep Russian woods this June, and I couldn't disagree more. I felt as if I witnessed an event of similar cultural significance as british late 80s raves were back in their day, but the one that nobody outside of the community really knows anything about.

The festival culture is alive and well, it's just got a little bit private, as it tries to conceal itself from authorities and masses. Burning Man, as well as many other festivals that attracted crowds lost a lot of intimacy and implied freedom; I just don't believe that you could feel the same way in a commercial festival that has more than a thousand of attendees.
My mom, in her 60s, is worse since she often omits punctuation when replying. The conversation goes something like this:

Me: "Watch the porch for packages, something is arriving today for your birthday!"

Her: "Great"

She's not unhappy, but the lack of punctuation makes it very hard to tell. If I didn't know her well, I'd be a bit put off.

The point is that it's entirely unsurpising. It's the most basic, trivial thing possible.

But there are massive industries[1] that exist to tell people that no, it's really that you aren't eating enough food that is red. Or that fell to the ground. Or whatever. Whatever magical, simple fix means that they can still eat an excess of calories. These diets have a failure rate approaching 100%. The US is the most diet focused country in planetary history, yet also one of the fattest.

Maybe pretending that the basic thermodynamics are just some unachievable mirage is a really profoundly stupid approach?

And yes, people who have actually lost weight (or, more often than not, not gain it in the first place) simply ate less (it's magnitudes harder to burn more calories to any meaningful amount). Virtually universally.

But this makes obese people angry. It always makes them angry.

The government's 1940s intervention that ensured white collar professionals would be removed from the problems for 60yr is generally considered the root cause of the current healthcare debacle. Without it we'd likely have a system that's more akin to what's the norm internationally.
> Most society rules have a reason to exist.

Well, it depends how broad your definition of 'rules' is.

I've known people who consider it a 'rule' that when wearing a suit you should not do up the jacket's bottom button.

I can imagine a person who used this expansive definition might see a great many rules as arbitrary; and enjoy a festival where rules could be broken.

> > We know the rules of society are arbitrary, set up so that the show can be played out to its conclusion.

> This seems wrong to me. Most society rules have a reason to exist.

They do have a reason to exist but that doesn't mean the rules are not arbitrary.

Stop signs for example. They actually indicate that extra caution should be taken at the crossing. Actually stopping is rarely a necessity unless you want to obey the law to the letter. It's an arbitrary rule designed to decrease local accidents.

Flirting at the workplace is another. It's more complex, but it's still an arbitrary rule, one that we might do without, it's all about what specifically we're trying to achieve (less romantic/sexual complications - positive and negative - at the workplace) with this arbitrary rule.

There are less arbitrary rules of course, like not hurting other people, but most rules governing day-to-day life are highly arbitrary, to the point where you live an incredibly boring life unless you're a "criminal" - I don't stop at all stop signs for example, which by definition makes me a criminal. I also use drugs recreationally.

> Festivals are not to for "blow off steam".

Depends on the type of festival. I'd say all of them offer a fresh experience out of the regular day-to-day life (which could be defined as "blowing off steam"). Some might be more "transcendent" than others.
Not to be snarky, but they paid for them.

Re license washing:

And if it doesn’t, can’t Copilot also be used to license wash for people not using it, but claiming to be?
Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Opera support it (including mobile).

Internet Explorer is dead (ok, is a Zombie. But was supper-seeded by Edge for most users).

Safari is sadly not yet supported.

The nice thing is that you can employ security enhancements based on this technique even
if it's not supported by all your clients.

I.e. you can automatically reject requests if the headers are given and have a bad value, which would add additional protection against certain attacks for all users except the ones stuck on IE or Safari.
It seems like we rapidly went from "Please use proper grammar online" -> "OK, proper grammar isn't required" -> "Proper grammar is rude."

We now have ended up at a point where there are different grammatic rules online vs. IRL, and not everybody agrees on them. That is OK, we don't all agree on the Oxford comma either. But I find it absurd for people to judge the grammatic style of others online - we don't even all speak the same language, how can we possibly all agree on proper punctuation?
>As a code reviewer, I would want clear indications about which code is Copilot-generated.

I would like to see this tracked behind the scenes. At any time I should be able to get Copilot to spit out a list of suggestions I've accepted. I should be able to generate this report for the lifetime of a project.
Copilot doesn't seem any better then Tab Nine. Tab nine is GPT-2 based, works offline and can produce high quality boilerplate code based on previous lines. It can also generate whole methods which when work seems mind blowing but they are not always correct. Most suggestions are usually mind blowing anyway because previously we never had this kind of code completion.

It feels like it wrote the whole line which you were going to write exactly as it should have. But that's all it does. And it seems like Copilot is the same but on much larger scale and online.
Does valve even really try to counter the steam DRM defeats?

I know like a decade ago, steam emulators existed that could replace the steam DLLs for offline games (or potentially, but more risky: online games that don't rely on valve's servers).

I've not looked into it since, but honestly I'd be totally unsurprised if they never engaged in a war with the pirates on those tools, and they are no harder these days. My impression has always been that the Steam DRM is more intended to prevent casual copying than to be a real piracy deterrent. (This meshes with games on steam often including more invasive DRM systems on top of the Steam one.)

What I love about VI and vim is that every time it comes up, I can't help but bring up this little bit of history:

"Joy used a Lear Siegler ADM-3A terminal. On this terminal, the Escape key was at the location now occupied by the Tab key on the widely used IBM PC keyboard (on the left side of the alphabetic part of the keyboard, one row above the middle row). This made it a convenient choice for switching vi modes. Also, the keys h,j,k,l served double duty as cursor movement keys and were inscribed with arrows, which is why vi uses them in that way. The ADM-3A had no other cursor keys. Joy explained that the terse, single character commands and the ability to type ahead of the display were a result of the slow 300 baud modem he used when developing the software and that he wanted to be productive when the screen was painting slower than he could think."

Yeah. Let's copy what a specific terminal did in 1976. That doesn't actually fit any modern keyboard layout. Brilliant. That's the standard to aim for! Not the most popular computer system on earth, by any metric. Nope. That's not the standard. The standard is the ADM-3A terminal, which probably fell into disuse before any of the Windows Terminal developers were born...

Did I mention the 300 bits per second terminal being the key design constraint? Oh, I forgot to mention that while entering this text on my gigabit fibre connection.

You're reading this on a phone? Is it 5G? Then it's faster than my fibre.
Stickers are the superior choice. Check out LINE where users can customize their stickers with their own captions. Or Telegram where users discover stickers from other users rather than a central store.
People look at the beta release of the software, and interpret flaws in an early version like a critical fundamental problems.

I am pretty sure the new releases will contain features like better software license handling (e.g. 3 levels for types of licenses - permissive, copy-left, hardcore copy-left), trust score for snippets, possibly some validation of the code for some languages.
Like I said in another comment, the high-end consumer mobile market outside of Apple is a red ocean and I seriously doubt the UK would be able to build a global scale corporation commanding ludicrous margins like Apple.

> with Brexit it has become fashionable in certain quarters to 'do-down' the UK's capabilities

It has also certainly become fashionable in other quarters to 'do-up' the UK's capabilities.

I don't deny that the UK has technological clout beyond digital, with excellent universities, a great tradition in science and engineering, and a global hub in London.

But a competitor to Apple? Come on.
I think they start cutting performance significantly for that final ~10%; screen dims; cpu undervolts, etc.
The difference is you know those cameras are there and that they’re recording. It’s their single purpose for public safety. You don’t expect the laptop at Apple to be uploading your image to some sick weirdos “art project”.
At its very best and most rigorous, psychology is pseudoscience. The books listed aren’t even that, they’re pop-pseudoscience. If you read any of these books, treat them as fiction.

I was working at facebook during some of that time and I found the external bad press cycle and the comments on HN really frustrating. Peak was when that documentary came out on Netflix. Often it was a lot of nonsense which I feel made people at Facebook less and less willing to listen to actual issues. Things were so different internally from what people depicted here, it really sounded like we were all evil or something like that. A lot of times I was frustrated that fb didn’t fight back, I can only guess I was not alone.

Just adding that JavaScript is also the best at something - running code sandboxed - especially in a web browser. Like SQL for databases, JS has no competition for web development (because the web needs full compatibility, and adding another language doesn't have a good value proposition - just compile to JS) and thus is immensely popular.

Most languages have something they are the best at. SQL is probably THE language with the strongest value proposition - relational databases are even more important and ubiquitous than web browsers. But why doesn't SQL have any competition?

I would love to see an alternative to SQL in the style Jamie suggests. Maybe SQL would immediately not be the best anymore?
Well, the fellow described it as "freaky behavior".

Haha, this is really good, never seen it. But one piece of the uncle bob's advice says you should order your functions from higher level abstraction to lower level, then it reads like a book and you can stop at any time you get the understanding of the code. So your example reordered:

void get_opinion_of_uncle_bob() { prepare_mind(); opinion my_opinion = get_opinion(UNCLE_BOB); return my_opinion; }

void prepare_mind() { get_coffee(); sit(); }

void get_opinion(int on_whom) { /* .... / if (on_whom == UNCLE_BOB) { return create_opinion("too many short functions"); } }

void get_coffee() { / ... / }

void sit() { place(butt, seat); }

void place(auto object_to_place, auto to_be_placed_on) { move_away_from_obstacles(where_to_place); put_object_on(to_place, to_be_placed_on); }

void move_away_from_obstacles(auto what_to_move_away) { / .... */ }

Personally I think that at least one book is missing:

"Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies and Paradoxes"
by Paul Watzlawick (1)

On the other hand it could very well be the case that the two main points of the book(2) are discussed also in one or more of the 10 listed in the OP.

1) https://www.goodreads.com/it/book/show/89200.Pragmatics_of_H...

2) The two points being:
- What Communication and Meta-communication are, what purpose they serve and how these are a uniquely human trait.
- The role of the therapist in treating dysfunctional families.
If site producers want to it's already pretty much impossible today. At least without some "tricks", and nothing prevents your video-downloader from just adding a header which pretend it's origin is a website.

I think the use case for Copilot is a bit misunderstood. The way I see it you have two types of code:

1. Smart Code: Code that you honestly have to think about while you're writing. You write this code slowly and carefully, to make sure that it does what you need it to

2. Dumb Code: This is trivial code, like adding a button to a screen. This is code you really don't have to think about, because you already know exactly how to implement it. At this point your biggest obstacle is how fast can your fingers type on a keyboard.

For me Github Copilot is useless for "Smart Code" but a godsend when writing "Dumb Code". I want to focus more on writing and figuring out the "Smart Code", if I need to throw a form together in HTML or make a trivial helper function, I will gladly let AI take over and do that work for me.
Not on my own, but I spent some time working on a farm that had been working on soil restoration for roughly a decade. As time went on they had expanded the restoration efforts to new fields, What was awesome though was that they had soil cuts at each field so you could visually see the difference the years were making as the topsoil layer kept getting deeper and deeper.

Post that are not in English are usually ignored or flagged, unless they are very good and there is no equivalent version in English.

For a written post, I recommend to translate it and post the English version here. For a video, ... it's more difficult, perhaps adding close caption in English would help. The video has close captions in Italian, but I think they are automatic and have some errors like writing "tcp/ip" as "tissi pp" in 1:53. [Hi from Argentina!]

Anyway, I recommend to at least translate the title here "Unix is not only Linux - The history of FreeBSD [Italian]"
Blue Poop Challenge
ESNI wasn't just incomplete/providing partial protection it had interop/scaling problems that would have made it a bad thing to continue to promulgate. It was probably a smart move to cut the cord for the redo to ECH while ESNI had single digit percentage server support considering most of the waiting for ECH is for server support as well.

In the meantime DoH is still very useful for a typical end user. It is orders of magnitude more work to filter all web traffic for the SNIs than it is to literally get directly notified by the client when a new site is looked up. Not to mention it's nice to have the scale proven out independently instead of trying to throw the kitchen sink at privacy when everything is fully baked and hope nothing falls apart that day.
Those security cameras aren’t hidden and always have a sign somewhere in the store noting their presence. The difference is security cameras announce their presence by being visible and obvious. Installing spyware on an Apple Store laptop to capture people’s images and upload them for your own amusement is not obvious, was never announced and most people would find gross and abusive. At the very least the security cameras come with liability if abused and cause harm to the customer.
