Eng mgr here with a handful of engineers. We use a CI/CD process and there are other teams of product folks that handle project mgmt tasks, deal with stakeholders, etc. We don't estimate work other than very rough sizing - things like can it be done by end of Q2 types of sizing.

I still do hands on work, sometimes feature work but mostly uninteresting stuff because I'd rather have people on my team pick what they want to work on. I help align work with people - generally people will pick up whatever is next in our prioritized list but sometimes we need specific people on things, or not, depending. I help coordinate/plan engineering led work - tech debt, refactors, stuff other teams want us to do, tech upgrades, etc.

Having people management responsibilities takes time and is pretty much a different job. You have to understand what the people you manage actually do, but in general managing people that do accounting or any other office type of job will involve many of the same people management activities - 1:1's, assigning work, reviewing work, hiring, firing, raises, bonuses, promotions, etc. Although I've found as a 1st line manager, anything dealing with money requires approvals at a higher level, sometimes they just make those decisions.

I mean, I'd just love for US sites to stop assuming that ZIP codes need 5 numbers. It still happens way to much that an internationally shipping website form refuses to accept my address just because it has a 4-number post code.

It's useful in the right hands - it can suggest functions/language features you don't know about it, it can do some handy stuff automatically (like reverse a list in place) so you have more mental bandwidth to think about other stuff.

It also produces a ton of horrible, nonsense code. I totally agree that if github's corpus starts to fill with that stuff, the overall quality of github will tank and I wonder how they'll continue to train the model.
Super users and dogfooding

When we started out with Quepid, we found a small handful of champions that loved the idea and advocated heavily for adopting the tool in their orgs. They became an extension of the team. We engaged with them all the time. We did everything we could to take their feedback seriously. Even if they never even converted their orgs to heavy users, their feedback was worth the high level of investment.

We also offered consulting services and would use the tool on our own projects. Here we were the customer to ourselves, and had to ensure the product was stable during engagements.

During consulting, we would train up teams on the tool. We could see where they fell in love with it and where it wasn’t a good fit.

As a SaaS product, we weren’t successful. We decided to focus on just the consulting business model. In the end Quepid became open source, and the community built around it seeded the open source community.
Haha. Funny you should mention that.

Me, together with my brother, built basetool, which should have been Avo but for TypeScript (framework agnostic). You give it a database URL and it will build the admin panel for you.

Today was the day that I decided to sunset it, but you could try to use it with docker or compile it from source.

The physical world is complex.

Interestingly most detergent works great at 30c. Hotter wash temps are for a time before biological enzymes were used as detergent additives.
The pricing may be 'low', but you may help foster a larger 'avo' ecosystem if more people are using it (AKA, keeping the price lower). What was/is attractive about Nova and Filament in the PHP world is that both have moderate ecosystems of packages (free and paid) which extend out the base admin system in niche ways. "avo" might be really good on its own - coupled with dozens of custom add-ons that demonstrate a community of people building their own solutions on top would propel this even farther (imo).
Really like that website, thanks! It's hard to find sober, practical content on climate change (with the exception of the IPCC itself).

“The Falls”: A View from the Inside (2021)
It doesn’t train itself on your local code. It’s probably using your colleagues code in your codebase as part of the input to decide what you want. Someone else in a separate project will never see Copilot recommendations of your colleagues (as long as GitHub doesn’t change their ToS)
Running ads, for one
Maybe they can replace you with copilot and an unexperienced cheaper user.
I've found when writing more complex code it has a real tendency to introduce subtle bugs that can really catch you out if you're not paying attention.

Yea, that is basically my experience as well. On balance I feel I wasted about as much time debugging broken copilot code as I've saved from using it.

See I think there are no "unsanctioned places" except for maybe a mosque or a funeral.

I think the real unwritten rule is, don't flirt with someone unless you're reasonably confident that they'd like to be flirted with. Some people might be able to figure that out in a matter of minutes, and others might need to get to know someone over the course of weeks or months in a casual group setting to figure it out.

I am sorry to say, but I think people who believe flirting is not allowed probably have not put in the effort to be able to read social cues, don't have an aptitude for it, or never learned to flirt in a non-offputting way.
I've easily saved a couple of minutes each day by not having to search some API docs, since Copilot already knows how my variables should fit into the function call. Even if it's just a minute a day, 20 days a month, it works out being worth $10 easily if you're on a typical western software dev salary.
> - sweaty and nasty as hell on the headset

It isn't that bad with the silicon wrap around the eye piece. Keeping your headset clean is a simple wipe down after each session.

> there only so much stuff you can do on the ground or punching the air, jogging on the spot

The "game" aspect allows for long sessions of punching things in the air, dunking, and some knee movements (no running in place yet). You also have to psychologically charge your punches or your slashes to add weight to them (otherwise you aren't getting much out of it).

> which coddles you in an environment that does not mirror real world applications of your body

Real world application of my body is programming 8 hours a day. I'll take an hour of shadow boxing a day even if I won't be able to apply it at work (thankfully).

You really do have to give it a serious try though. If you aren't enthusiastic about it, it probably won't work for you, and even if you want to try it, it doesn't guarantee that it will work for you.
In addition to all of these symbols I would like to see just a simple "type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4" OVERALL code added to each thing. If something is a type1 that could mean cold wash machine okay, tumble dry low, iron low/medium. A type 4 could be the fragile stuff - hand wash only cold water, mild detergent, no iron, no tumble dry. These wouldnt encompass everything but at least we could have a very quick guide to memorize.
>People act in the way you object to because others have politicized their existence

I didn't mix up the order of the two :

>>some people reject your existence, and in response you politicise your whole existence

is saying the same thing as

>Refusing to be quiet about who they are is a response to people trying to erase them, both culturally and violently.

>The first one was a riot kicked off by cops invading a space that was exactly as quiet as you would have preferred. Now we march and get in your face so you'll notice when someone tries to get rid of us.

So you mean to say that the identity obsession lgbt people seem to have is just a bizarre distress mechanism so that people constantly notice them and come to their help if somebody tries to be violent with them ? Can this possibly backfire when your presence become so invasive and annoying that you flip me from the [not caring whether you exist or not] state to the [actively wishing you don't exist] state ? Can you not see how a lot of people in the second state would bring about the very outcome you fear ?

Exactly how I feel, the code it produces like that (unless it’s regurgitating a pattern I am already writing which is useful) is usually wrong in some subtle way I have to figure out.
Interestingly, ARM11 used in original RPi and RPi Zero also doesn't have integer division, but it has floating point division.
I'm not sure exactly what the reason is for the equivalent market caps, but Akamai still has about 4x the revenue, net income, employee head count, so it seems like a perfectly viable CDN. I don't personally have a choice with what I'm working on. I work for the Air Force, and they use Akamai.

Not advocating one or the other. Everything has outages. But Cloudflare is clearly not the only option out there. I think they just seem like it in solo dev/startup spaces like this because they have historically had the most extensive free tier in their industry sector.
That's the "commit-confirm" process they mention they will use in the write-up:

There's a lot of problems like this in the UK along the England/Wales border. Postcodes only roughly correlate to other administrative sub-divisions but this nuance gets lost in some computer systems and there are massive administrative differences across the Wales/England border, including student finance rules, access to healthcase and so on.
Sure, but the default should be erring on the side of persistence and consistency. The throughput for a site like HN of actual writes is next to nil. It’s short text only comments averaging a couple hundred bytes and you only have to pay for the fsync once anyway. If you have to turn off fsync to make it perform then you’re doing something horribly wrong.

We’ve been trying to implement an active-learning retraining loop for our critical NLP models for Koko but have never found the time to prioritize the work as it was multi-sprint level of effort. We’ve been working with them for the for a few weeks and we and we are seeing meaningful performance improvement with our models. I highly recommend trying them out.
The beta was implicitly understood to be free temporarily and they never indicated otherwise.
But the brain isn't a complex system because the climate is a complex system. There is no relation between the two systems, other than that the two are emergent phenomena on Earth. Proof that the climate is a complex system doesn't automatically prove the brain is a complex system. Apriori, you can't draw any logical conclusions about the brain from the climate. You're right about one thing: It's amazing the confidence people have

Gay guy here, who is polyamorous.

I appreciate my experiences are wildly different from a straight person's, but I would be very careful in advertising 'real world dating' as just easier. Often I've seen guys (straight and gay) who struggle with dating do so because their mental health is not in the right state (desperation is not sexy gents). People should focus on sorting that first (exercise, sleep, eating properly etc) before going out on the dating scene.

What I would say people should be careful about with apps is to always consider that the motivations of the business do not necessarily align with yours. Tinder wants you to engage with the app as much as possible to drive revenue, they don't want you find the love of your life because then the revenue stream stops. I see it like alcohol though, a little bit of alcohol is a great social lubricant, too much ends in misery.
Beautiful. I would love to see the Authagraph projection on this.
I agree with you.

I'm aware that Avo (like Nova) is not suitable for any type of app. It's for "most apps" where you use common things like CRUD, dashboards, and cards.

Speaking of competition, it's only going to make the ecosystem better, so I'm all up for it.
Shocking as it will be to you -- I'm just realizing that this differs between US and rest of world -- a home washing machine in the US can only go as hot as what comes out of the faucets. It cannot wash at 90C water, and likely can't even do 60C water. It can only do as hot as the "hot" tap water, which depends on what the hot water heat is set at, which is usually somewhere between 120F (49C) and 140F (60C).
Anti Virtue signaling as a topic has been growing tremendously over the past 10 years

It's definitely been growing as a dog-whistling tactic. It's not like people don't notice that those who complain about "virtue signaling" tend to be very particular about what virtues they hate anyone supporting.

I meant facing the unknown. I can find all the information about moving across the Atlantic because it’s not anything new or novel at this point. But five hundred years ago that was a journey of a lifetime and at the end were either riches or death.

Worst case scenario if I move across the Atlantic is that I don’t go bankrupt because I had a medical emergency. You know what? That doesn’t sound so bad.
Oversimplified cliff notes: Currently, mostly democrats hate him. In no specific order, some points of the ongoing feud:

- Musk leaving California and decrying its regulatory state

- Biden inviting everyone except Tesla to the White House and congratulating them on “leading the way” wrt. EVs

- Some Democrats picking a fight with him on Twitter (IIRC over the California stuff), and him saying he “ends fights”

Culminating in Musk voting Republican, supposedly for the first time, in a recent minor election. He’s also becoming more vocal about support for Republican figures like DeSantis, and that he thinks the left has gone “too far left.”
It's on github.
The context here is product design. Does this mean that you think there's one perfect form of a product that everyone would agree is the best, from the bean counters, to the fabricators, to the users?
You don’t want to pay for it because you like free stuff. So does everyone. But that doesn’t pay the bills.

You don’t need backcraft some moral argument. It’s trivial to see that a large amount of creativity went into developing the system, it’s not just a repackaging of public domain works.
I am glad now I can pay and rely on it for real. As long as it was beta, we are trying things, there is a chance that rug can be pulled or that they decide to charge something outrageous. I am happy to pay $100/yr for it.

If a programmer is paid per hour, then this is only worthwhile if it increases their hourly wage. Otherwise, it's just another cost.

Now, if they are paid per job and it makes them more productive... That's different.

If you just get the solution the learning gets smaller.
To be fair though they sort of MUST do things like this to have our confidence - their whole business is about being FAST and AVAILABLE. Were not talking about Oracle here :-D
Absolutely. I know there are some projects kind of like this, but right now they are lost in my bookmarks folder somewhere... I recall a couple of good admin dropin replacements, I think one or two even have a paid-model which I dig cause I'm more than willing to pay for django-specific code that will save me development time. Likewise, I know there's some good projects trying to do something similar to Avo, but again I've lost them in bookmarks and my google-fu isn't working to retrieve them.
That's exactly what we are building at https://metrist.io/
Follow up question: What do you use to automate setting up a vm, ssh keys, etc? I tried using Ansible and it was like its own DSL, yet another one to learn. At this point, anytime I need to learn a DSL, I am instantly turned off from using that thing. Is there anything better?

Puberty blockers are hormones. GnRH agonists: ..they are modeled after the hypothalamic neurohormone GnRH, which interacts with the GnRH receptor to elicit its biologic response, the release of the pituitary hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
This is the coolest and among the most useful tech I've seen in 10 years
I had access to the beta for a while, but only tried it out a few days ago.

I was skeptical going in, but ... wow. There were a lot of jaw-drop "how the hell did that just happen?" moments.

The systems ability to quickly learn form local code is especially impressive.

I had to implement a non-trivial Rust trait for about 20 types, which is not just copy-pastable between types or I would have used a macro. On the first one Copilot didn't have a clue what I wanted. The second one was halfway auto-completed. The other 18 were mostly just generated correctly, with some minor fixes required.

It literally was 5x faster than without Copilot.

And that's for a rather niche language with not that much code to learn from... I didn't even try it out with something like Java or Typescript.

Even in this early iteration the productivity boost would easily be worth 100+ for me, even though I'm not working all that much on repetitive code like REST endpoints or UI components.
User interaction, moderation, embedded media, a way more subreddits and different opinions they have, and so on.
> it must be possible to feed in any program, after the mapping has been defined.

This is absolutely correct and gets to the heart of it. We define a mapping and we can imagine even setting some of the spins of the atoms in the bar to input a particular "program." Then we sit back and watch the spins randomly flip and see if they correspond to what a universal Turing machine would do.

The reason that a hot iron bar in practice is not a computer is that there is no way we can easily find the correct mapping before we observe the bar. The process of finding this mapping will take more work than the computation itself. (I think this is what you mean in saying "the computation is really happening in the mapping itself.") So for our purposes it's useless for performing any computations. Nevertheless, some mapping from the bar's states to a Turing machine executing the program we've given it exists.

This is why this is different for the case of consciousness. Because consciousness exists independent of whether or not we're aware of it, it doesn't matter whether or not we can find this mapping beforehand. It just matters that such a mapping exists.

It would be different if I made the claim that the iron bar is sorting a list. I might say, "there exists a mapping of the states of the iron bar to a Turing machine running quicksort. Therefore the iron bar is sorting a list." The appropriate response would be "So what? If I consider all random permutations of the list, obviously one of them will be sorted --- but how does that help me find it? It takes me the same amount of work to find this mapping as it does to sort the list."

But if we are to say that consciousness is fundamentally a computational phenomenon, it doesn't matter if you find the mapping or not --- it exists independent of you.
Are there really (enough) RISC V cores having no microcode sequencer at all and would have to add one just to implement a 1 bit per cycle microcoded divide instruction?
Minor quibble, but Rust engineers are in wildly high demand - even beyond normal engineering levels.

Many of the majors are hiring a ton for rebuilding backend stacks and crypto still wants as many as it can get as well.
Thank you, GitHub, this is one of the best things!

No, it cannot make me write code I couldn't write before. It does not autopilot and does all the coding by itself. But it still boosts my productivity greatly, making me relaxed while coding and focusing on the important part rather than errands.
What's the criteria for being considered "a maintainer of a popular open source project"? They never actually publish the criteria anywhere from what I can tell. They just say visit the subscription page and if you are eligible it should be available to you and if you see a charge then you are not eligible. I think though they should still be transparent about what their metric is for determining popular projects on GitHub; otherwise, the code that determines eligibility might be broken and no one would be able to tell. Or worse they could just be lying about it entirely.
Copolilot very rarely gives me relevant results, I definitely would not pay for it.
