What is their actual business model? I know there's Deno Deploy, and presumably they offer some kind of enterprise-support type deal. But the first is easily copied by competitors (in an already-crowded market), and the other isn't super lucrative. Is there anything else?

I love Deno and want it to succeed, but it doesn't feel like a unicorn, and I'm worried about it being expected to become one
> Of course. But if you have the crowd who fly around on private jets to environmental conferences telling the proles that they need to quit eating meat, eat the bugs, live in the pod, and sacrifice more to solve a problem, I think it's fair to ask that the case be very strongly made without appealing to Science (TM) and trying to browbeat people into submission.

I don't understand your problem with using scientific arguments. I think that you reject evidence conceptually and are "not seeing" any climate change is a self-refuting argument if you're willing to think about it. Especially since anyone who is vocal about this crisis will say it's systemic and there are maybe less than 100 people who could, if they wanted to, dedicate their resources and solve this in our lifetime. The reason climate change is seemingly eternal and difficult to solve is because the biggest polluters aren't going to stop and we can't make them.

Here's more info on the systemic issues if you're open to any data or new ideas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_justice
This. I regard comments as something a bit negative. You use them if you have to but you see if you can write the code so you don't need them. If it's internal to my code I can almost always get rid of the comment, I end up with most of my comments referring to external matters.

Feels a little disingenuous to use the first 3/4 of the report to advertise.
Possibly but I think we’re talking years if not decades.
You're kinda stuck writing JS on the frontend. The (only) advantage of also using it on the backend is that you can share code. In some cases, I could see that being compelling.

FWIW, I think Typescript would make an even stronger case. And I think(?) that's one thing Deno is trying to do.

That's an old blog post; the current release is 18.4.0, which supports `fetch` without a command-line argument. You do get this warning the first time it's invoked, though:

(node:340760) ExperimentalWarning: The Fetch API is an experimental feature. This feature could change at any time
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

(some later blog posts that mention fetch being enabled-by-default and in the global scope are https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/v18-release-announc... and https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.0.0/)

Assuming you have your facts straight, that's a pretty convincing argument of the need for restrictions on trans athletes that can compete in the "women's" class. But surely there are better ways we can measure it than just say "anyone who was male at the age of 12 is automatically ineligible"...
I had a very different experience. I very much wanted to make it work, but trying to use it with existing npm packages and import maps was incredibly painful, and I ultimately switched over to node for that project.
Seems plausible and I don’t know why they had to venture from the coasts.

So I was using copilot for a long time.

10$/Mo. Is way to much for what you get.

I mostly write js/ts code.

The suggestion feature / auto-complete feature is wonky at best and leads to bugs or just bad code in the worst case.

Even when you write comments or have a function like `addOne` and you want to add `subtractOne` it will not get it right a lot of times.

Then you have the cases were it throw 50 or more lines code at you for something very simple.

Catching errors or error handling is basically non existing.

I tried it for writing tests. It bad. It does not help at all.

I uninstalled and after some hours of work I don't really miss it.

The first repairabilty key is the standardization of parts, witch exists but only limited to VERY common parts, another is the availability of spare parts.

But the real key is the fight against crap: you sell a mixer with a plastic gear, easy to speculate that will break after few year, ok, you are allowed to do so, but you get a progressive tax: as much as durable and repairable is your device you pay less. For a mixer that means: 30% of the sale price as tax if it's expected lifetime is less than 10 years of normal usage.

Another fraud is "spare parts available ONLY to 'certified technicians'" witch means repair is as expensive a get a new gear.

Personally, for standards:

- anything "commodity like" must be made of standard parts for anything critical to it's functionality, that means a washing machine must have a water pump with flexible connection and standard threads / diameters and fixing that you do not need an original one but any "common pump" can be found, whiskers with standard whips inserts etc;

- all spare parts on sale from the company website, at a reasonable price, witch means buying all cost no more than +10% of the assembled device on sale, no restriction on buyers, no need to be "certified" by the company etc. Spare parts MIGHT have a mark to avoid warranty issues but nothing else;

- ALL software MUST BE open sourced, no restriction allowed, no bullshits on IP and so one, any black box can't be on sale in 5 years (to give time to adapt) and the code must be practically readable and usable by anyone;

- anyone who can prove planned obsolescence, like technicians from inside the OEM, get rewarded SIGNIFICANTLY for their publication and the OEM so badly sanctioned that the whistleblower get no issue if is cut off some market, the company loose so much that no one want even try.

Oh right, the US built GPS, one of the few GNSS systems out there! Yeah my bad, then private US companies should be allowed to pollute space, it's not the problem of the rest of the world!

> One company will have accelerated our escape from extinction

You mean by sending a few chosen people in space? Or do you believe that connecting smart devices to satellites will somehow solve the climate crisis? xD

> it'd be as crowded as ad and social network

What's your definition of crowded? I don't feel like there are thousands of successful social networks or ad companies out there...

But I get your point: SpaceX is a nonprofit with the purpose of solving the climate crisis by launching as many rockets as they can to fill the sky with satellites. No profit planned, no investors, nothing. My mistake.
I use Copilot for .NET. It's useful to generate bits of code like methods calls by repeating what I've previously done and changing variable names and types. It's a kind of bit smarter Intellisense.

I can't use it to generate longer chunks of code like methods or functions, because it will do it a bit wrong and I loose time to correct it.

It can somehow generate correct and fitting code, but it takes multiple tries and writing comments in which you describe exactly, with lots of details what you want to do. At that point I'm better off writing the code myself.

However, if the method should be small like VerifyIfNumberIsEven, it does a good job.

Probably I would pay 10$ for it.
I would read ~100 to mean "approximately 100", while O(100) to me reads like "measured in the hundreds". So 200-600ms cold starts are O(100) and 3-7s cold starts are O(1000).
I haven't used Copilot extensively, only for fun. But I find it interesting that people are questioning the price.

Given that the cost of a software engineer's time is so high, $10/mo. seems very reasonable if Copilot saves you more than that in time per month. So in a vacuum assuming all dollars are spent with equal productivity, if I take the equivalent of $1000/mo. in time writing boilerplate, and I can reduce that to even $989 with Copilot, it becomes a good deal.
Critics have been vocal this is a ponzi scheme. Warnings were all over the place, but the "have fun staying poor" crowd did not want to listen.

Critics are not responsible for the losses. All of the lost money went to those who got returns on their crypto gambling and scams.
I use Deno from time to time, and in my opinion more than a back-end language it's a really powerful scripting language. Being able to reference libraries by URL and the Go-like standard library mixed with Typescript async makes it a breeze to develop simple one-use CLI tools!
What you have achieved in one year is pretty impressive. I also think that there is a potential for a good business somewhere in there. If I were you, I would hang in there and change tact a bit. For example, have you considered reaching out to some of your target customers(organizations) to understand what it would take for them to use such a tool? Or what makes them not use the tool?

Makelog: The Product Ledger for Fast Moving Teams
It uses typescript predominantly, and only compiles down to JavaScript. (I think you can code in plain JavaScript directly but I don't think anyone would want to do that)

The benefits are in my mind not that you can share code directly but more that the std lib is the same (mostly) between backend and frontend. This means no mental context switching for developers.

The other bonus is that typescript is just such a lovely thing to code in. Expressive, universal and ubiquitous, performant - modern JS is a joy to use (...if you don't need to use NPM... If you need to use NPM at all then it is a shit show)

A bigger success than I expected.

- 55% of all people buying a device were aware of this resource

- 76% of those people that in 2021 purchased a new device and
indicated to have noticed the index, found the index to be helpful
for orienting their final purchase choice

- French authorities hope that the repairability index will
contribute to reaching a repair rate of 60% until 2025

I think people naturally, instinctively want to repair things, and
expect them to be fixable. A disposable culture of sealed, one-use
products is very recent, skin deep, and largely unwanted. I hope we
can get this level of awareness and action in the UK.
Pretty much. And, in fact, most of the value presumably came from (as far as they knew at the time) the initial airing of the episode. So why pay more for all the rights?

Per Wikipedia:

Three years after its production, the film was screened on American TV as part of the fantasy/science fiction show The Twilight Zone. Producer William Froug had seen the film and decided to buy the rights to broadcast it on American television. The transaction cost The Twilight Zone $25,000, significantly less than the average of $65,000 they expended on producing their own episodes; however, Froug's purchase allowed for the film to be aired only twice (the first airing was on February 28, 1964). Consequently, it is not included on The Twilight Zone's syndication package, though it is included with the series on home video releases.

(CircuitLab developer here.) Thank you for the kind words! :) Clickable link: https://www.circuitlab.com/ if anyone wants to give it a try.

As far as the linked article "Fifty Nifty Variations of Two-Transistor Circuits: A tribute to the versatility of MOSFETs", I will mention that CircuitLab does NOT currently provide a MOSFET model that includes a separate body terminal.

Instead, the body (also sometimes called the "back gate") and source terminals are assumed to always be internally connected in the CircuitLab MOSFET models, resulting in a three-terminal device.

Almost all real-world discrete MOSFETs you can buy are also three-terminal (gate/drain/source), not four (gate/drain/source/body). Some discussion here https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/137161/why-a... and here https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/185109/mosfe... but not especially satisfying in my opinion.

As a result, Figures 2, 16, 27, 29, 46, 49, and 50 can NOT currently be realized within CircuitLab.

And that's why RISC processors expose more architectural registers than CISC processors.

(A read-modify-write instruction on a CISC processor will still implicitly need a temporary physical register; RISC processors simply expose a larger set of logical registers since a lot of these implicit temporary registers become explicit.)

> For example, in my extended friend-aquaintance group, there's not a single young woman who would consider dating a conservative. Obviously conservative women exist, I have seen many on dating apps, the point is that the natural social circles have already formed strong bubbles such that hanging out let alone dating outside the tribe is unheard of.

This is also a recent "feature", at least in the USA. My older extended family (parents, aunts, uncles) have political views all over the map, including between married couples, and it's no big deal. Back when they all got together, people weren't so much wrapping their entire identities into their political views. It was more taboo for a Protestant to marry a Catholic than for a Democrat to marry a Republican. Today, it seems people have replaced their religion with their political party, to the point where they consider "the other side" to be totally off-limits for dating or even friendship.

I've got friends on both sides and it just seems so ridiculous to me, but I guess tribes gotta tribe.
In a different context or some other format, I would not have been so brief. But the point of the list was simply to rattle off indications of ideas, not to communicate concepts with reliable clarity.

Further, what's pretentious to one audience is idiomatic to another. HN has a diverse crowd with many backgrounds. Implying that your own taste in this matter is representative is a bit much.

Manchester has some beautiful architecture, some very interesting places to visit and in the UK we compensate with culture, people and nightlife. And there are some very good restaurants & eateries if you actually put some research & effort in.

Maybe your £100k salary would go (a lot) further if you moved away from London and to somewhere like Manchester - everyone knows London is stupidly expensive ;) I'm on like £40kish around Glasgow in a nearby town and quite comfortable - I'd feel like Elon Musk on your salary.
The detergent we buy works fine at whatever the water temperature is coming out of the cold side of the tap. I don't know that we even need to have the hot water line connected at our house as I don't recall the last time I used any temperature other than "tap cold" (I'm really curious what plain old "cold" does; is there a chiller in there I don't know about?) I mean, it's not like my chemical engineer classmates were sitting on their asses the last 30 years, modern detergent ain't the stuff your Mom used.

And lest one think I'm a dainty flower that doesn't get clothes all that dirty, just last week I was running a trail race, and as I do, caught my foot on a root and went diving downhill straight into a big pile of Pacific Northwest mud. I wasn't sure the mud was going to wash out of my skin, let alone the knee socks and running outfit. One trip through the front loader on cold, and it's like it never happened.

If I use a ii V I progression in my music, who gets compensated? I find most of co-pilots suggestions are similarly basic.

This is accurate. It isn't a big money grab for wikimedia nor does it really substantially change things for anyone. There is a constant drive for growth at Wikimedia and many of the concerns expressed in this thread are valid but Wikipedia Enterprise doesn't represent a threat to the freedom of Wikipedia.

It really just represents a formalized way for commercial entities to donate to the foundation while accounting for it in their budget as a service rather than a charitable donation. It makes total sense if your business depends on Wikipedia in some way then you should contribute to it's continued existence. This is a totally sensible way to do that.
>I can’t imagine how Copilot would save anything but a negligible amount of effort for someone who is actually thinking about what they’re writing.

Yes, I think you’ve more precisely articulated what I had in mind. The point stands, though: codepilot does not help with the hard part of the job. It solves a problem that only exists for people who aren’t exercising care.
You could say the same about AWS Azure, and GCP.

This is a rather silly argument... by that logic since using the Adobe suite saves me at least it has a dozen hours every month I would be happy paying $500 a month for it.

There's a limit to what individuals are willing to pay for a subscription service irrespective of how many hours it saves you. Now if we're talking enterprise and bulk licensing then that's a separate issue.
It copies lots of code => copy-lot => copilot

For me it works wonderfully, when you choose to use it. If you are just blindingly accepting every suggestion, you're going to have a bad time.

You also have to (slightly) change your flow to get the most out of it, which I know is a deal breaker for many.

I absolutely love it. It's not going to write good code for you, but for an autocompleter it is amazing.
