In my experience using copilot, I believe it's more similar to the former than to copying and adapting. Copilot generates code snippets that are transformative and derived from multiple code sources--like Dalle does with images. I think making the AI algorithms more transparent is what needs to happen. The AI needs to be able to say that this five line code snippet was generated based on learning from these 2000 repos. That would not only directly provide input on whether copying is happening, but would also just generally be an amazingly useful tool. But the tech isn't there yet.

Most legal issues are ethical issues. The reason copyright law exists is because an ethical argument has been made that artists should be able to profit/make a living from their creations for a reasonable amount of time. Another contradictory ethical argument is that art should enter the public domain so that it is available to all. Copyright sits in limbo between these two conflicting ethical requirements.
Oh no you see, that was deregulation!

Ugh

But yea, trigger laws enacted have now regulated women's bodies in something like 15-20 States or something? It's disgusting

Imagine choosing between someone with a CS degree vs someone without a CS degree and think which you would prefer to do SWE work for you all else equal.

CS degree every time right?

Now imagine both candidates had the exact same career trajectory. Say 6 YOE, couple years at a FAANG recently, but the non-CS candidate was promoted there etc. which do you prefer now?

Probably the non-CS degree holder. They have proven they can do the work and advance by their self-starter mindset, skill and hustle alone without “appeals to authority”/certification.

Once people have proven they can do the job for real, certification matters less. While some industries make it a box you have to check, tech mostly doesn’t.

Dont wast your time unless you can’t get a foot in the door without a cert.
What I'm saying is that those people in government who could be considered "deep state" are the ones appointed due to the money in politics. I agree that there is unaccountability but it all comes down to money and corporate power

I don't think all 40 million women have lost "all" legal access. Eg Florida and Virginia are banning abortion after 15 weeks - which is actually less restrictive than in most of western Europe.

Eg France bans abortion after 14 weeks; Norway bans it after 12 weeks.
Can personally recommend a Part 107 cert for flying drones. Particularly since you mention your pilots license. It's nice to fly and not worry someone is going to say you're posting might be commercial - because that's ok with the cert. The FAA card is actually pretty nice, and whipping it out can stop some (though not all) of the folks who want to complain about any drone they see.
Why? The stated purpose of a degree is to educate a person in field of study, the culmination of which is a piece of paper that is suppose to signify to society that you have attained a set level of knowledge in a field of study.

Work experience can convey that same level of knowledge, thus the purpose of an experience based degree would be to signify to society that you have attained a set level of knowledge in a field of study.
Yes.

You're being wildly pessimistic.

The first human heart transplant was successful for a little less than three weeks, until the patient died of systemic organ failure. That procedure is historically regarded as wildly successful.

A team of medical scientists did something even more amazing. This procedure was a success. The next one will be better.
Yeah, can similarly vouch. 3x increase over 7 years.

It’s possible that in some positions you can just level with the manager: “hey if I leave I can get $x more - do you want to keep me?” and some employers will want to/be able to. Others will wish you well and the ice on a reference request is already broken.

Salient quote:

Cheniere’s massive LNG plant, on the outskirts of the Gulf Coast city, has exceeded its permitted limits for emissions of pollutants such as soot, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) hundreds of times since it started up in 2018, according to a Reuters review of regulatory documents.

Instead of levying penalties for such violations, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has responded by granting Cheniere big increases in the plant’s pollution limits, the documents show. The facility is now allowed to chuff out some 353 tons per year of VOCs, double the limit set out in its original permit eight years ago. The state raised limits on four other pollutants by more than 40%.
I have 2 iPad Pros, both sizes, two Linux laptops, and a Lenovo Duet Chromebook with Linux containers. Lots of experimenting with hardware choices.

This does not exist. System76 and some others do a good job at trying, but despite many efforts over the last 20 years, this just isn’t possible.

Consider that even the best Windows laptops are worse than MacBooks (and I would say this was true before the M1 but is inarguable now), despite the billions of dollars of investment from Intel, AMD, Dell, Microsoft, etc. I think the Surface line has historically had the closest experience for Windows, thanks to Microsoft's investments, but battery life and heat have been an issue on all x86 laptops for at least 5-7 years, with very recent improvements only coming from AMD and now on the 12th-Gen Intel processors. But nothing exists that matches the battery life and power/performance of the M-series. You can get a more powerful machine, but not one that will have battery life worth a damn.

And even as trackpads have improved with the Precision Touchpad drivers, Macs are just better here. Period.

If you don’t count Chromebooks (and I really don’t), there is no one investing anything close to what Microsoft and OEMs are in Linux, not just in software, but hardware, so even the best scenarios are going to fall short. It doesn’t help that the latest and greatest hardware takes to hit the kernel (understandable, of course), meaning you’ve got a lagging timeline from when the stuff is new/hot and when it works.

My Framework is quite good and with Linux, but it took a few months for drivers to be included in most distros (Fedora being so bleeding edge made it a real hero), and now 12th-gens are coming out and I don’t know the status of those chipsets (though WiFi 6E and the like are supported), and Framework cares about Linux and that community.

System 76 and Tuxedo basically just buy Chinese or Taiwanese laptops from Clevo or Tongfang and can make some adjustments to the firmware and hardware config, but they don’t control the whole stack. And even Purism, who sells itself as offering an Apple-like experience, falls embarrassingly short (like, their own firmware updates are bricking $2000 laptops running 2019/2020 specs. And the keyboards are terrible and their own Debian spin distro is not great).

So it’s amazing we have what we have. That we can buy pre-configured Linux laptops. But unless you want to do a Chromebook and tweak into run Linux apps, nothing has the experience you have on Windows, let alone Mac.

Someone will try to refute what I’ve said, but unless the hardware is very specific and the distro is very specific, you don’t get anything close. And it absolutely won’t have the power or niceties of a Mac. It just won’t.
The upgrade path using logical replication is critical for minimizing downtime. The others should not be considered for production workloads.

As far as RDS goes it amazes me that, even with replicas, there are NO options for doing a zero downtime upgrade which is a major gotcha.

By this point they should buffer the writes during the critical section when the switchover happens and make this seamless for users and operators.
If she had stepped down before 2016, Obama would have been able to appoint another liberal judge to replace her, and the political balance of the court would have remained unchanged. Instead, she died in 2020 and Trump replaced her with a far more conservative judge, which is indirectly one of the reasons why Roe v Wade was just overturned.

Of course, it must be remembered that almost no-one actually expected Trump to win 2016. So perhaps she didn't feel like there was actually much risk of her being replaced by a conservative, so it was safe to stay on.

The US just took away the constitutional right to bodily autonomy. That kind of internal oppression of ones own citizens is absolutely beyond terrifying, and obviously a bigger worry for social stability.

Europe is not at war. War in Ukraine is due to an external force that affects barely anybody in Europe. What a bizarre nationalistic reply this is, to be so insecure about the landmass you happen to live on.
Numbers do matter, but don't read too much into Ukraine's pleas for hundreds of them. It's just hyperbole to justify getting dozens.

Red Hat, Linux Foundation (k8s mostly), AWS certifications will generally be a positive signal for me (engineering manager, interviewing about 50 people a year, seeing many more CVs).

I've personally gotten a couple and thought they provided good structure to the learning and so I also advise them to engineers we hire if they want to learn k8s and don't know where to start.
I think the fact this article exists proves otherwise
They're clearly talking about since WWII. When the US has definitely picked up the tab to ensure freedom for Europeans, Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans, and former English colonies throughout the world.

Rust is interesting in that if you really thought it was magical safety across all bugs, you're probably not smart enough to compile a real application, let alone actually have read enough documentation to do more than a hello world.
Rust’s syntax is based on C and C++. Yes, it introduces additional concepts and gives them new syntax, but function calls, parameters, struct definitions, struct initializers, function definitions, etc are all very familiar to most programmers.

Which makes sense. If manufacturers designed laptops exclusively for Linux—only writing Linux drivers and rarely even testing Windows during product development—how well do we think Windows would run?

Hardware designed to run one operating system isn't necessarily going to perform well with a different operating system, and expecting otherwise of every arbitrary machine on store shelves is unrealistic. Prospective buyers need to do research beforehand.
I'm an engineer and CTO and well aware of how a "why don't you just ..." can escalate into a significant side project. The thing is I know how these things work and I've seen them escalate repeatedly. We used to run things like jenkins and gitlab self hosted. And we had to deal with outages, backups, things running out of disk, etc. It was doable but definitely a bit of a time-sink.

If you don't care about devops, monitoring, uptime, and all the rest, then yes, you can run the entire company off a few beautiful snowflakes on some VM. If it goes down, you just do it again. Been there done that. But doing it properly requires a bit more effort. I shut down my last self hosted Jenkins about five years ago. Not doing that again. Just not needed anymore.

Anyway, for things like slack (which, again, we run for free), I don't see the value of self hosted.
The thing I find funny is that the resume of a fuck-up and a wunderkind look quite similar to me - short stints at a variety of places. I do think the 2-3 years is probably key there - a string of less than 2 year (and especially less than 1 year) positions is a big red flag to me having worked with people like that.
A link would help for that ...
Certifications are certainly no substitute for experience and competence but can help you get a foot in the door if you're just starting out. I've always been moderately skeptical of security certifications (CEH, CISSP, etc) as in my experience, they are more often than not a negative indicator of competence for anything beyond junior level.
Both “raises” and “lowers” are potentially confusing. Maybe “relaxes?”

> Edit: I note that HN automatically compresses my double spaces to single ones. Sigh.

That's what HTML does with ordinary consecutive spaces, not an HN choice. It's been this way for the entire history of HTML I believe.

If you see anything else on the web (which I think you rarely will), the text set in HTML has unusual whitespace characters in it, either entered manually or algorithmically. Or maybe using some unusual application of CSS `white-space`, I'm not sure if there's a way to use that to preserve your inter-sentance whitespace without other probably undesirable side effects.

Depends where you want to work. If you're looking to get into consulting, specifically related to vendors then it's a guarantee to win. Most vendors will require their authorised resellers/consultants to have a certain amount of certified staff. AWS comes to mind as the most obvious, but I'm sure this is the case with other cloud vendors.

For a "normal" business that is more of a customer to vendors, nah not really. Your experience is worth far more than your certifications. The only place it might get you somewhere is Government, although expectations are low there so you can get away with associate-level certifications and seem amazing.

It was Citigroup.

From the opinion:
This was accomplished by Citigroup's misrepresenting that the Fund's assets were attractive investments rigorously selected by an independent investment adviser, whereas in fact Citigroup had arranged to include in the portfolio a substantial percentage of negative projected assets and had then taken a short
position in those very assets it had helped select.

iPadOS 16 beta with StageManager helps a bit, especially with the cover case/keyboard and a $10 Bluetooth mouse and a USB-C external monitor.

I think future iPhones may provide similar docking and software, so, who knows, maybe in five years a phone will be good for everything as long as docking setups are available.

As I said elsewhere in this thread, to use iOS or iPadOS for general use, I need a SSH/Mosh client app and a remote server. This may seem like a huge constraint but I often use SSH/Mosh on my laptops and work on remote servers. This is likely an age thing: I am 71 years old and it seems natural for me to work with remote Emacs, etc. setups.

That just resets to your last local commit. To sync back up to the remote, you need at least do a git reset origin/HEAD --hard (and capitalization matters, I don't know why).

But that doesn't work if you rewrote history in some way (I'm not sure why that's even possible). In that case your local git can get pretty messed up, some gui tools (IntelliJ) start to bug out and fail to diff properly, and it's easier to just start over.

After ten years of using git, I've more confused by it than ever. People here keep talking about mental models, but I've read a shit ton of docs on it and am still totally confused. Probably some of us just aren't smart enough lol.

Your thinking then gets colored by what already exists so your creativity goes in the same direction as everyone else's, which is why it makes sense to split up the creativity types. So deviant creativity should peak before you establish yourself, while conformant creativity peaks when you are established, which aligns with what the article states with conceptual peaking at 25 years and experimental at 50 years old.
Interesting. What have you experienced with it since passing, and why is it relevant to your job?

I wonder what do people think of Kubernetes operators for Postgres? They promise painless 0-downtime upgrades.
I wouldn't dismiss certs that fast as from my experience hiring for technical roles, it's a wash. I've had people with more certs than braincells, and people with certs that I loved and wanted on my team immediately.

It at least gave me something to talk about more directly because I can have some expectation on tech they've worked with.

I personally don't chase certs for myself because I don't see the point, but I find them as fairly okay talking points on a CV. And it's hard to argue any interview unfairness since the cert should imply certain levels of familiarity with a technology.

Edit: I do need to add that the cert concern was a real thing in our company but after some analysis, we sadly found some biases from the interviewers as they only considered certs for certain candidates to be a negative signal. I put a stop to that fast reminding people of candidates from more western countries with gobs of certs, and they legit didn't know their ass from their head, much less how to do anything besides press the button the manual said to press.
