Full-on Baader-Meinhof here, seeing this posted while I am at home/in the hospital (for two days about a week ago) for the second week because of a C. diff infection I got from an antibiotics treatment for the tonsillitis prior.

I do know for a fact that I never want to feel this sick again. If that requires me to keep the toilet lid closed whenever flushing for all eternity, I'll gladly do so - and I think you should, too. (I was actually advised to do that and flush 'carefully'/slowly, with the lid down, by my doctors, and took care to comply.)
Support for anti-science bigots like DeSantis should be a dealbreaker for anyone, regardless of political affiliation. It speaks to Musk being a unserious person.
> 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;

This is a huge one for things that aren't phones and laptops - parts should be as "loosely" coupled as they can be, so that similar but not identical parts can be used. This may involve slightly more complicated designs (think: wash machine that has a pump AND a flow valve or switches in the drum to measure how full it is vs just "run this pump for X minutes and it will be full) but allows for much more durability/long lasting.

However, an additional thing should be done to encourage these repairs - make it so that out-of-warranty repairs/repaired items sold are VAT-free. Once the financial incentives are lined up, people will be begging for dead items they can fix and resell.

I realize I misinterpreted the OP, but you’ve set me up for a snarky remark so perfectly that I can’t resist. Please forgive me… here goes:

> it produces code that is correct in some circumstances, but is incorrect for the author's use case.

That’s a mighty convoluted way of saying “incorrect code” ;)

Phew! I feel better, now!
> the solution long ago was always a modem on an auxiliary port

Now you can use mobile Internet (4G/5G)
>Can Copilot write tests? That way it could test its own code and tweak it until it works.

Sure it can. But you can't rely on them being good. You have to read the tests carefully.
CloudFlare workers is on my radar because of an ecology of other "edge" products that are in the works or already released. That's what Deno would need to catchup on to be on the table for discussion for me. Otherwise it remains a toy I use in my spare time (which I do enjoy at the moment).
Seems like they could have specified that only the "good parts" of UEFI are required. I.e., the minimal, simplest part actually used. After all, on x86,that is the only part that can actually be counted on to work. The rest is shovelware.
Yeah doesn't have the same ring to it for some reason.
Sweden is part of 14-eyes. I realize this may be naive or already answered, but I don't see why I should trust any service in one of those 14 countries. When things are down to the wire, can anything in Sweden really guarantee any greater level of privacy?
Maybe not, but those channels still largely rely on regular access from these companies, which always presents a conflict of interest.

I'm sure Linus does just fine in this regard, but the underlying problem still stands: if my Youtube channel's success is dependent on getting that kind of access to products early (as most top-tier reviewers do), I'm always going to have to decide between being as objective as possible and not biting the hand that feeds me.

If you've watched a handful of review videos on YT at this point, there's a pretty good chance at least one of them was pre-approved by the vendor of the product being reviewed and you just don't know it.
Yeah, I’d love to have the sort of enthusiasm that he has for his work!
I only use it a couple of times a week maybe to autocomplete some tedious repetitive elements, and perhaps when I'm too lazy to find a lib for a very well known function, like converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. Those it does well and it works. But 10$ a month is too much, I'd sign up for a usage-based plan, if there was one, so that I can pay only for the times I use it. But not for a fixed subscription where it sits most of the time.
Completely agree, $10 a month is a steal.

I have loved using it, I've had several moments where I had to stop typing to lookup a formula for something, and a few seconds later it provides the correct formula. Gives me those warm fuzzy feelings emacs used to give me.

For me learning vim or at least all the vim code editing features was a bigger boost in productivity then using copilot.

I use the vim extension for vscode which is great.

In general learning the tools we already have I would say has for now a greater impact on productivity then Copilot.
Destructor are not allowed to throw exceptions, so you cam only do stuff that guarantees not to throw.
Progressing as a Software Engineer
Have you ever questioned if 20 years old females are as desirable as they think they are? Because they are not.

Pretty handy to make all the fault of "males" while never ask them what desires they have, what they want in the other person while constantly emphasize females' desires. Have we ever question women about their own standard? Are they too high? Are they what men want? Do they bring something on the table or it's the usual "I'm a passive princess: entertain me, jester!", because if it is I prefer porn, it usually doesn't ask to pay for a date.
I also didn't get it.

so I think in their notaion O(10) has greater magnitude than (>) O(1)
i'm surprised that Austin Meyer's passion for flying, simulation and programming hasn't decreased one bit in the last 25+ years
What's crazy is they never "fixed" The DAO "bug." Reentrancy is a feature of Solidity. They just tell people to make sure to do exception checking for it. Which of course makes contracts bloated. Which in turn makes contracts cost more in gas fees. So every now and again a Defi will be attacked by the very, same, thing, that got The DAO, because they didn't put in expensive reentrancy checks. Couple of recent examples: https://ambcrypto.com/how-these-two-defi-protocols-fell-prey...
Where did you learn to write your code, and which open source devs did you compensate for that?
I've always enjoyed xplane but one thing I find annoying is that it seems like sometimes they emphasize visuals and cool effects (like 3d cockpits) at the expense of making the planes fun and practical to fly from a normal computer setup. The full sim setup people have built with yokes, pedals, and other controls are absolutely astonishing and it's so cool that xplane supports that. But most of us don't and can't have that kind of thing, at most a joystick and often just a keyboard and mouse. Over the years it has gotten less and less enjoyable to fly xplane with that kind of a setup because of the emphasis on making it look cool over making it behave realistically (I don't consider having to click a graphic of a physical switch on the screen with my mouse more realistic than hitting a key on my keyboard). You can fix some of it with key mappings, but it's clear that this experience is not the priority.

That said, I totally agree with the others that this is an outstanding product and a bargain at its price. My griping comes from a place of love as someone who has been using xplane for over 10 years.
Buying crypto is not 'investing in technology'. Also, a currency with massive deflation is not usable. You can't go to the moon forever AND have a usable currency. So even if one bets on adoption of crypto and is risk averse (e.g., to not endanger one's family), the best is to not buy crypto. By now, there are most likely already plenty of families falling apart because plenty of guys (many of whom live under problematic socio-economic conditions/are poorly educated/adopted a responsible lifestyle too late in their lives) followed exactly your line of argumentation. Is there really any doubt that this is happening?
> The data shows it does

As I described above [1] the data show that the difference between 70% and 99.95% matters, not that the difference between 99.5% and 99.95% does. (And that's ignoring difference in flow rates, which is also very large.)

Same, and a bit of a persistent queasy feeling. I think it’s something to do with how it’s slightly off white but pulsing, so your brain tries to cancel it out.

It reminds me of the feeling after surfing when you lie in bed with your eyes closed and still feel the waves going up and down.
$300 is nice as "fun money" for something you'd do anyway

Example: I want to get better at Golang and have something to show for it. Why not find a OSS task with a Bounty, and get paid while I learn?
Obvious business idea: toilets that slide a containing partition before flushing. There's no need to use the seat for that, or to require the person to get up.

There might be easier mechanical ways to accomplish the same.
Also various types of sensors (magnetic, chemical, radiation...)
How would you compare or contrast this with motor_admin https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin-rails
RISC fell by the wayside decades ago. Two of them.

It was really only ever a design touchstone, a reminder that simple operations are easier to fit into a short clock cycle, and complex instructions are not necessarily faster than a series of simple ones. Since the time RISC still was considered a plausible thing, we got cache footprints, and micro-ops in a cache of their own.

What matters, ultimately, is performance. RISC was once a means to get performance. Nowadays we do all kinds of crazy shit to get performance, very little of it compatible with what RISC was supposed to enable.

So anyway maybe a mistake to put in the name.
More so than, say, classical snippets, auto-complete, and speech-to-text?

And pray tell, how much typing is required to go back and fix the incorrect code produced by copilot?

P.S.: wishing you a speedy recovery!
Nearly everything supports the C-extension. The designers were initially expecting that small cores wouldn’t implement it, but quickly discovered that the code size improvements more than paid for the extra gates
You Can Send Emails to Any Tree in the City of Melbourne (2021)
Yep. Copilot is going to be good for “pick up the pieces” devs
My parents taught me to always close the lid before flushing because of the generic "germs" argument. I taught it to my kids. Takes 2 seconds.
You can work on the definition of "similar code". It can be a separate model on its own. Use human judgements to learn it.
That’s why I don’t call it exercise anymore.

Literally, it’s walking while reading your email on the phone. Find a beautiful spot in nature, take advantage of local rivers and beaches…

Lack of vitamin D due to low levels of sunlight exposure is very harmful…
Yes for me it was the same. Usually it got the boilerplate code kind of okay and then I had to tweak it manually anyway.

I would also not go that far.

Having good auto completion because of Typescript for me is the way way way bigger productivity gain.
It looks nice and saves battery life on OLED screens.

I’m not expecting it to be “good for my eyes.”
Like many people I thought Copilot was neat but ended up uninstalling it because it caused more problems than it solved. Reading the comments here, it seems that most of the people who get value out of it would be better served creating a set of snippets. If all you need is to fill in boilerplate all the time or repeat general test structures but with different arguments, just make a snippet. Every major code editor supports this and they're really easy to setup and use.
We are talking about a hypothetical future where the speculation interest goes away.

The poster I was responding to thought that would make room for more pragmatic applications but I'm not so sure.
Flexibility isn't something to chase. I warm up by doing a light version of the activity I am doing. My PT disabused me of the primacy of stretching after I got a herniated disc. I stopped stretching and started lifting and doing body weight exercises and stopped doing cross fit and I healed up and never stretch anymore.
As a Deno fan I was surprised to learn that the free tier for Deno Deploy includes 100k requests per day and 100GB of bandwidth monthly. I know I'll be trying it out now.
"Seems plausible" doesn't seem like a good justification for fabricating a news story, but ethics be damned when there are clicks to sell.
Do you agree with this definition of dog-whistle?

From urban dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dog+whistle

> Dog whistle is a type of strategy of communication that sends a message that the general population will take a certain meaning from, but a certain group that is "in the know" will take away the secret, intended message.

If so, then that means they're trying to signal a hidden message. From what you've said, I'm assuming that you believe that they're trying to hide the fact that they don't like LGBT people or messages to them. I think that is malicious. I think the non-malicious perspective of what they wrote is that they like product logos being used for visual identification of the product.
Y'all realize its a desert out there, don't you? I used to live out there. Not Lane County, but its neighbor, Scott County. Google "Great American Desert". Its dry. Its hot. The wind blows to the point that 30 MPH is considered a "breeze". Nothing grows without irrigation. The Ogallala Aquifer is being emptied, just like Lake Mead and every other source of water.
For the English "Samuel Pepys" seems to have worked. How does that translate into Venitian ("Italian" is an anachronism)?
Until someone flushes while sitting and chops their nuts off.
Another developer here who’s been around for the tech you mention.

The evolution has been 2 steps forward but 1 step back. It’s how many complex systems evolve and it’s fine. Just because you see that some problems/solutions resemble what you saw 10 years ago doesn’t mean nothing was improved along the way.
It would be very awesome if one could fold and unfold a sphere in order to have a even better intuition how the projections work.
For example check this visualization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1xXTi1nFCo
> First off, thanks to this intensive, minimum-sleep, once-in-a-lifetime week, we now have an F-4 flight model that is accurate enough to be used for actual F-4 flight instruction...

Given the F-4 is obsolete, and it looks like it's been retired by everyone except Iran and South Korea, I wonder how practical it would have been to get an actually flight simulator for one, and reverse engineer the flight model from its software.

It probably would be super-difficult computer history project, but probably pretty interesting. Might not even be worth it either, since given the technology of the time it wouldn't surprise me if the simulation actually wasn't as accurate as desired here.

Sorry, I wrote that 10 years ago. I guess Python 3 requires you to say "for x in (-1, 1) for y in (-1, 1) for z in (-1, 1)", while Python 2 parsed those as tuples even without the parens. The parens make the code clearer anyway.
Just like GoLang, I only wanna use this because that dinosaur is SO CUTE!! hahaha
> Rust seems complicated. I don't think I'm smart or committed enough to get anywhere with rust.

Rust is a bit rough yet to do the front and backend development, but IMHO it will catch in a year or two. Also for backend rust now with (actix and axum) looks pretty similar to expressjs, so you will feel like home there, but for the frontend there's still no killer framework nor a settled architecture that fits better rust model.
hm, that is a conundrum to debug code nobody wrote

on the other hand, if an improved AI comes out in a couple of years, we can feed it the same pseudo-code and enjoy an improved output.

I would rather have a docstring explaining what the code should be doing

I've had co-pilot write its own comments too, my favorite one was, "this is a kind of a hack but it works", very professional indeed!
You need an adversarial co-pilot to write tests for those tests so you would put the two AIs against each other to try to properly test.
> But I do think that people can detect a shitty vibe pretty quickly even through a couple photos and a bio, and Not Being That is a significant step up.

Very much this.
I'm not deep in Node world but I use it and see it being used, who is using Deno out there? Have there been some notable/major ship jumps? Or is it not that kind of situation (perception from when it came on the scene is that's exactly what it is, constantly trying to woo Node devs over). And also there's alot of recognizable brand competition out there from things like Cloudflare, Netlify (but they're an investor in this?), Vercel on fire the last year or two, and not to mention the big FAANG types. Again, who's using this?
If they’re expecting a unicorn why are they funding Deno?
Didn't they test this on mythbusters at some point?
This is basically traveling salesman type of problem called Constraint Programming. Plenty of library in this space if this interest you, like OR-Tools: https://developers.google.com/optimization
Are courtesy flushes safe?
Lets create an open hardware itx like case standard for laptops. Imagine if you had standard displays. L-ITX

Imagine a similar itx like standard for phones M-ITX with standard batteries and displays.
I think Deno Deploy and using Deno on fly.io could be a powerful combo. Deno has some advantages that definitely lend themselves to having control of your entire MicroVMs. An app could easily be split between serverless-friendly and non-serverless-friendly parts of the stack by using both together.
Ask HN: How do professional artists feel about DALL-E?
Wow, it actually sounds like a great tool for someone who doesn't actually know how to program at all but still managed to get a programming job. Sounds like it could be literally years until they realize you don't know how to program and are using a GPT-3-type completer.
The world doesn’t exist to cater to your weird specific thing that gives you a headache
It's saying "just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good" and it's doing it quite well.
Ask HN: Version control systems written on Lisp (any Lisp realisation)
I started learning Lisp recently because I believe it helps me realize an idea about public storage of some open source code. What I need right now is a list of FOSS implementations of version control systems written in Lisp, because I need to read that code and make some decions about my personal VCS research. If you have some experience with any VCS written in any Lisp, or can recommend any VCS to me as an example of decent Lisp code, welcome.

Sorry for not making any try to search what I need before asking the question here, all I did was read the first few paragraphs of SICP and solved some of the exercises from the book using the Racket compiler. I have never run anyone's Lisp code from Internets and since I have a desire to get started, I want to start with something worth learning. I am tolerant to any Lisp environment, not only Racket, and installing a lot of Lisps is expected to be part of my research. And I would love to see either large and well-known projects, or small projects just for fun, created for educational purposes, or reimplementations of the well-known svn/git approach or some lesser-known great ideas.

My OS is the latest version of Debian, if that matters, and I am not an expert at installing non-repository software, so I prefer software that is not too hard to install.
I’m honestly shook at all the comments here. I don’t make any money coding and I’m probably in the lower 25% of HN readers in terms of skills, but I’m more than happy to pay $10/m. I would pay Github $10/m for what they already give me.

What is your time worth? You should easily get $60/hr, so you need to save 12 minutes per month to make it worth. I would pay that for all my employees.

CoPilot is not a replacement for writing code, but it’s incredible useful when you are stuck and or / write simple logic.

Often I don’t have the right method, function or logic on mind. Before I google, I write a comment of what I want and 8/10 CoPilot generates the right code.

Typing the comment, checking the solution, reformatting it is <<< less time than without it.

To me Github CoPilot is a standard part of my IDE and I wouldn’t want to miss it anymore. It saves me at least an hour a day of coding. Some stuff is really crazy. I invite you all to try to be open-minded. You have to experience it.

// You have to code for yourself

I don’t really like this argument, because if that argument would be true, we would also need to now how our codes translates to 1 and 0s and how the electronics build our application than. AutoComplete is part of our life on our phone and it can be with developing. Don’t make it harder as it needs to be.
This is a rather rude response… Your comparison with Adobe suite has a flaw, but I have no interest in exchanging ideas in this tone.
I may be the odd one out, but for me node.js (and hopefully in the future Deno) isn't about the backend, but instead it's a pretty nice scripting environment for tooling and automation. I've been using mainly Python for this in the past, but got burned out quite a bit by the python2=>3 transition.

(but still: don't underestimate the raw performance of V8, for many things it's definitely good enough)
Slack is the biggest I know of https://deno.com/blog/slack
A few observations:

The IntelliJ Copilot plugin became worthless just before the release. It borks up the formatting and requires almost more keystrokes to make the code work than it saves.

It sometimes works brilliantly, the result has almost always been either duplicated code which could use refactoring or simple minded attribute access code which could be solved generically. I have the fear that it will push developers to go the "easy route" and not think about the code too much while churning out more and more lines of generated code, so I'm unwilling to recommend it to junior developers.
Good idea - VSCode doesn't even have a dumb "autocomplete from all buffers" a la Emacs. Of course, LSP is awesome when available, but I'd also use the dumber version every day for a few specific cases...

(I think those cases would be mostly full lines that I know exist on other files in the project - but I don't want to go there, copy and paste if I can avoid it..)
I'm good.. without it :D
I think it definitely has happened. We're creating more things, for cheaper.

We're also creating more complex things, that costs more money.
I'd have to look up who wrote what episodes although it looks like Beaumont wrote some classic ones.

The Twilight Zone was always something of a mixed bag but, because it was episodic, from the distance of time we can easily pick and choose and skim the cream.
It's almost like the SCOTUS didn't just rule on this, as far as some people seem to be aware.
