I tried it on IntelliJ recently. The examples I tested blew my mind. Yet, I think there are two things that need to improve to get me to use it regularly (it will get there!):

- less than perfect import/types/var suggestions that LSP in typed languages would've made perfect suggestions for (e.g named import in go would use the package name instead).

- latency feels a bit high and my thoughts would get interrupted waiting for a suggestion to come.

For the former, I wonder hard feasible it would be to give structured suggestions to the LSPs that it would swap for correct var names and imports and such. Or test each suggestion with the LSP for error counts and offer the least erroring suggestion.
Discord's actual stance against third party clients is far more convoluted, and explained by this comment by Jake: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25224151
10 GbE is still iffy even with CAT6 cabling over copper which complicates deployments and user experience. As a result, prosumer type devices like recent AMD x570 motherboards and the upcoming Intel Z690 based ones are including 2.5 GbE ports that are rated to work over CAT5E and provides enough bandwidth for a few hundred GBps with a lot less power usage on the switch side (something like < 4w / port seems common) and makes it easier for low cost passively cooled switches to work alongside a switching SoC that doesn't need to be terribly sophisticated to hit the latency requirements needed to support 2.5 GbE.
Some of these devices for automotive are large enough to surround a car on 3-4 sides, with several hundreds of microphones and the associated cables and positioning arms. Depending on where the devices he mentioned are being used, there are things like mannequins with heads and models of how humans hear for identifying sources inside a car.

Everything you just said, irrespective of its veracity, is offtopic in this thread. You can/should create a new post if you want to discuss this.
Packaging frameworks like Debian and RPM coevolved with autotools, especially when it comes to things like cross-compilation, standard build flags, etc. Anything that moves away from autotools is, AFAIU, generally considered a PITA for maintainers of the big distributions. Modern build tools optimize for the problems of massive corporate centralized repositories and build pipelines, which often bundle dependencies and otherwise approach most problems from an entirely different angle. Nuances related to portability, cross-compilation, filesystem hierarchies, dynamic library versioning, etc, are typically afterthoughts if they're considered at all.

OTOH, while it's a PITA it's certainly one to which package maintainers are accustomed. autotools began to lose mindshare among younger programmers and with younger projects many years ago.

This would be true if vaccines offered perfect 100% protection. Since they don't, individual protection is the product of the protection of everyone you interact with.

As such, unvaccinated people are a health risk to the vaccinated individual.

We don't allow all sorts of other health risks in the workplace, you can't be a drunk crane operator for example, so this is not some special new thing.

Even far after the 740, with relatively recent iGPUs, Intel's drivers leave something to be desired. I've worked on codebases that had plenty of specific Intel GPU driver versions called out as buggy. This has gotten better over time, but I think you're right to have this concern.
Same area, many of the same people, but at a different studio, FAME. MSS was a spin off due to various "fights". I did some recording, with Spooner and David Hood, at both places, a few years back. I really liked FAME, the room is fantastic but MSS has a great vibe.

Valid point, but I'd note that it's backed off significantly since WW2, when top tax rates were close to 90%.

Tax rates seem to more closely track actual government funding requirements than they do any sort of moral justification of such. The only reason congress is considering this is that TSY yields are starting to creep up, making government funding through debt more expensive.

If 10y yields were still tracking around 1%, none of this noise would be here.

I turned on Blind Mode, and went through it, and ended up choosing Source Code Pro... a font I used for years because of how readable it is. I've since switched to Iosevka, which can both mimic almost every popular glyph shape (including being a synthetic Source Code Pro), but also is less wide and is on its way to conquering Unicode.

I suggest everyone just switch to Iosevka, you can thank me later.
I don't see what you're getting at. This stuff has been written about at great length. Many people in positions of power were caught in criminal acts in that investigation, which to me makes it a very useful and successful investigation. I hope to see much more of the same in the future.

I would argue the intended purpose _is_ political. Paying teacher more, providing free meals, etc would improve outcomes. Hiring someone who's job is to "officer" to kids of only certain skin colors is just political.

As other pointed out, it makes boring or repetitive tasks a breeze.

Also, it’s like a more clever auto complete most of the time, even when it’s wrong in calling a function you can use it as foundation code to go faster.

And you don’t need to think too much about it, it really keeps you in the flow.

YT's curation keeps trying to shunt me off into neoconservative conspiracy theory videos, which I never click on, but occasionally auto play if I've left the window in the background. About all I can figure I've done is watch some videos about military-themed multiplayer video games. I don't actually play these games, but sometimes the commentary is funny.

Facebook kept trying to sell me an Oculus Quest weeks after I had already bought one ("look at the metrics! 95% of people who saw the ad also bought the headset", "you're reading the graph backwards").

To me, it lays bare the myth of advertising analytics. All this data, all this tracking, and none of it is actually all that useful for the stated purpose. Makes one wonder if it's really all for fleecing advertisers or if it's to keep totalitarian regimes happy.

I find it works well when my intent is clear. For example, I might want to log a value I just computed for debugging purposes. I type LOG, wait a second, and it completes a zephyr logging macro, complete with a sensible message and the value I just computed.

It sort of feels like pair programming with an undergraduate, except copilot never learns. That isn't to say it's bad, more that it is just a tool you can hand simple stuff off to, except the handoff is zero-effort.

EDIT: I will say that there are times when it makes up fantasy constants or variable names, that seem plausible but don't exist. An eventual version of Copilot that includes more normal autocompletion information, so it only suggests symbols that exist, will be a stronger tool.
I was really skeptical at first, but after using it for a while omg it is just insane.

Twitter actually reports active users as part of their quarterly report. Here’s the most recent one: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000141809121... (find for “Monetizable Daily Active Users”).

They don’t always break out the behavior of cohorts over time or minutes spent on the site. That said, total userbase growth is slow enough that meaningful changes in behavior (like lots of existing users logging in or tweeting less) would manifest as fewer DAUs. So far, it hasn’t; both US and worldwide DAUs are still growing at about the same (fairly slow) rate that they have been for years.

tl;dr: available data says probably not.

Wow, I totally forgot about that period. I recall that I used to plug in my laptop when I arrived at my desk, then remove the battery to ensure that it was running exclusively on wall power in an effort to improve battery health. I never did have to replace that battery...
Funnily enough, I have a SAMS book on VCR troubleshooting and repair on my bookshelf right next to me. Reminds me I need to finish digitizing a handful of tapes before I retire my deck.

(Interestingly, used VCR troubleshooting books are scarce on Amazon. I would assume this is the kind of book where people go "No one wants this outdated crap" and just throws it out rather than pushing it into whatever the used book resell channel looks like.)
I am reminded of that probably fictional but nonetheless instructive anecdote involving Minsky and a young Sussman coding a neural network. Ignorance of the biases of your culture does not eliminate those biases, as it were.

All technology is the product of people with beliefs about prevailing conditions and beliefs of what is valuable. As the articles says, technology is not some isolated, abstract thing. It is embedded in a much larger reality that is indeed value-laden, thus making technology itself value-laden.
I'm one of those "you can have my headphone jack when you pry it from my cold dead fingers" as I clutch my 6S+. However...I did just break down and bought the newly released airpods.

The argument for base e is based on the physics of sensors and storage; what's the right number of signal levels.

The problem with IBM's floating point scheme was that the multi-digit exponent granularity threw away mantissa bits.

Reasonable precision with reasonable range is hard in 32 bits and IBM effectively had less. (36 bit FP can be much better.)
You don't have to let the Turing machine run forever anymore than you have to actually fully write out every digit of PI. It's possible to determine strictly from the description of the Turing Machine that the value it outputs will converge to a specific number equal to the output of some other process, such the process of writing out 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 + ...

The equivalence class of all such representations is the number we call PI.
My understanding (which could be very wrong) is that Meson on its own has no external dependencies like Mako, but that (by virtue of being Python) anybody can write a terrible build that introduces additional dependencies. Is that correct?

If so, that's unfortunate, but it isn't that different from what happens in autotools land -- I've had plenty of builds fail because the configure step fails to check for `$tool` and then expects it to be present at build-time.
> Maybe English words are used in the Arabic translations (though I doubt it)

It wouldn't make much sense, because the Fremen are Arab-inspired, or at least, Middle Eastern. Arrakis is a desert planet toyed with by colonial powers. Any other interpretation would change the work so much it would become a completely different book.
Only if the threshold of originality is passed. I feel many of Copilot snippets are so tiny that this threshold is not reached. But not a judge here.

Ask HN: What open source project would you create if you had more free time?
Hi all.

I was a developer for decades, who started coding again after years of hiatus while starting a wearable tech company.

I recently began coding deeply again, and I'm enamored with the open source community.

So I'm curious -- what technologies would you build if you had extra cycles to create?
If it were some other predator, we'd say it's natural selection. Because it's humans killing the ones with certain traits we say it's artificial? But humans are not doing it to promote a certain trait, in fact the evolutionary effect of the poaching is actually the opposite of what people want.
I hadn't thought of separating out changes vs refactoring, it seems like a good practice to try out. Thanks!
it's alsmot as if luck, timing matters more than hard work
This was just one of its suggestions, but you're right of course.. it's all based on the training data and idioms used there. If it doesn't weight more modern code higher, if it's not aware of new versions and methods, it isn't going to be super intelligent.. but it can still give you some ideas.
That's called a closed loop, and it's actually vaguely feasible for natural gas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

Menus override the icons on the right without any notch. This is normal (though frustrating) behavior on existing devices with past versions of Mac OS.
One of my most frustrating experiences in tech when advocating for the consumer are data scientists that attempt to misrepresent the data. Meanwhile you have a company CEO at all hands telling people to "trust the data"

Attacking drivers of racial division and discrimination has produced very many concrete improvements. Equal housing laws, anti-discrimination laws, anti-segregation laws have all been shown to do good. I think the track record for "positive equity" efforts is much more spotty. If we look at US minority populations whose measurable social position has improved greatly from their historical origins and matched or exceeded the white populace as a whole, how many of their success stories involved this type of heavy-handed brotherly-love enforcement? Irish people, Italian people, Jewish people, Asian people. I don't think the unending reminder of our differences ultimately contributes to social equity.
I think most over-ear Bluetooth headphones have the ability to also act as wired headphones, via some flavor of USB -> Aux cord/adapter.
no, Twitter is still great, but I guess it depends on the niche, e.g. neuroscience, ML/AI, and anti-woke communities are very active.

Meh. For less than $10 you can buy a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adaptor on AWS. Yes, it's a dongle - which people have complained about, but it's not like you had to go out and buy brand-new headphones. In fact new peripherals weren't needed at all - you might have to buy a few dongles but that's a far sight cheaper than buying all new peripherals.

What I haven't been able to find out is whether the new 3.5mm audio port supports digital optical audio, i.e. Toslink. MacBooks prior to 2016 did. I suppose these don't. Again, you can buy a dongle (see the pattern here?) to handle that as well. Still, if you were using your Mac to drive a Toslink channel you still can. You just can't do it out of the box.
So?

The solution to discrimination based on race is certainly not to discriminate based on race.

Why do you think more racism is the solution?

>The equivalent would be if someone were saying "Oh I met this handsome, rich, kind, unmarried 45-year-old man last night, but there must be something wrong with him, or else someone would have married him already."

We may be reading it differently but to my eyes, GP said essentially the same thing with

"by definition they won't meet the highest of standards. Because if they did, they wouldn't be single."

In other words, that rich, kind, high standard unmarried 45 year old must have something wrong with him or he wouldn't be single. I didn't take them to mean "there's a smaller pool to select from" because that's trivially apparent as more people get married, but it also cuts down on the competition as well.

I don't think anyone would argue that the longer a buffet table is open, the less chance there is to get the best choices. But the economist was saying "That cake still on the buffet line can't be good because if it were, it wouldn't be there." That's much more aligned with the GP's statement.

Why not using Caprover ? That's an open source self hosted PaaS that use Docker and let you configure almost everything through their GUI, as well as checking Logs, easily scale horizontally, spinning up Postgres/Redis/Next cloud or whichever docker images in one click and letting you communicate via different parts of your projects through environment variables set through the GUI.

That way instead of learning a new and likely less advanced framework you can use your favorite and likely more mature and well maintained backend framework and just deploy in a minute with caprover, as long as you can dockerize it it should work, you just have to write a single dockerfile ( they also have a way to not write dockerfiles directly and use their abstraction ).

You take advantage from the backed framework you already know with all its advantages and also benefit from Docker's huge community.
Their UI is really good to be honest, you can enable and force https in one click and other goodies like that, DigitalOcean also have a preconfigured Ubuntu droplets with caprover preinstalled to make it even smoother.

Huh, it's quite surprising to see the concurrent runs at 02:00 for multiple instances.

I guess this can cause quite a bit of weirdness if you use a spec like "5,17,32,47 * * * *" (to avoid the "thundering herd" of cronjobs at xx:00) and then getting four concurrent instances running at 02:00 in the daylight switchover hour?
