> Copilot queries the model relatively infrequently and suggests a snippet or a full line of code. Copilot does not suggest code in the middle of the line, as its AI model is not best suited for this purpose.

Sorry but this is not really true. It is true that copilot suggestions usually take about 500ms at least, but i’ve never had an issue with that amount of time (if i’m typing something i usually know what i’m typing). And copilot does suggest code in the middle of a line and can provide small snippets as well, e.g. the arguments to a function.

Also copilot maybe uses a shared model, but it’s suggestions are surprisingly accurate to your specific code. e.g. copilot can suggest names of other symbols in my project, idk how it gets those but it’s not just suggesting generic stuff
I think C Programming: A Modern Approach by K.N. King is great.
It’s location tracking. I don’t know what “theft tracking” is but that isn’t what’s offered or how it’s described.
Cool, thanks.

I think a more formal explanation of the situation would be helpful to put on your site.
Flashback is quite interesting as forum. For non-Swedes - this is where you go when you want to know what is not spelled out explicitly in mainstream news. For example who was the famous celebrity that was arrested at some restaurant last weekend, or what are the details behind the shooting that media writes happened in suburb X last night.

You need to sort through racism and mud to find the nuggets, but it is sometimes invaluable because you learn things that the mainstream news write weeks later, if ever. I wonder if every country has a version of this.
All this is well and good for short term pump and dumps. But it is not going to work as a sustainable business.

Confidence in media being low is only a bad thing if, for some reason, it should have ever have been high. The general realization that I've come to in the last decade is not so much that media has gone from good to bad but that a veneer of artificial quality has been removed to reveal a core that hasn't changed since the 18th century when newspapers were funded by political parties. I think looking at it this way is much healthier and likely more realistic.

I mean, it's not like smaller forums didn't have an issue with power hungry moderators who would ban you completely for stupidest things. The same people are now subreddit moderators. This isn't really a problem with reddit.

Activism is a side effect. Newspapers compete for clicks and eyeballs, so they need massive amounts of content. And who could be the cheapest producer of content without any ambition of owning it? A person with religious belief in self-righteousness, who's doing it not for raising their own blog's ad revenue, but for pushing something they believe in onto the masses.

Now get 2 competing camps of such people, weaponize them against each other by providing outreach, and enjoy your ad revenue growing like a hockey stick (*).

>One inherent appeal to a platform like that is that you have one identity across all instances which is appealing for practical reasons (nobody wants to manage a dozen accounts any more)

I see this as a downside. Redditors often stalk others' post and comment histories for flamewar ammunition. This is the means by which politics ends up leaking into unrelated discussions and sub-communities. Putting all of a person's opinions on every possible subject on one publicly-viewable page decreases user privacy, and increases the likelihood of splintered and polarized communities.
Thanks, you basically wrote what I was going to. In audio-production-land, the term DAW is generally understood to mean "real-time (single-digit ms latency) capable audio plugin host and audio/MIDI sequencer". Anything not checking all those boxes is interesting, but likely won't be "able to(n)" get a whole lot of "tracktion" from "avid" users. ;-D

I also need to note that users of free/cheap audio software can be some of the brattiest, most entitled and actively hostile users I've seen anywhere, based in my 20+ years on KVR, GearSpace, and other forums. Every dev in the space needs to have a thick skin and be ready for the "it would be great if only it..." to start rolling in.

Great to see people pushing the "envelope" of browser-based tech!
Turchin's political stability indicator predicts this due to rising economic inequality, overproduction of grads with advanced degrees, and exploding public debt [0][1].

However, civil wars usually occur in poorer countries [1][2]. Also the proportion of the world in civil war is 1% and falling exponentially [2].

Finally, Metaculus gives a 5% chance of US civil war before 2031, where a recent July bump is discussed in the comments (Roe, Jan 6) [3].

> The talk of secession is from the right leaning states.

There has been rhetoric from right leaning people, for decades on this,yes.

But the point is, that from the actual on the ground political reality, the right is winning.

They are winning in the courts, local/state power, and based on current voting polls, they are going to win in the upcoming federal elections.

There is no need to secede if you simply control all the levers of government. And the recent facts are that the right is only going to get more power.

Therefore, despite the rhetoric, right leaning places have no need to secede, when they can instead just take over the government the regular way.

Using these with home-manager is also really simple. You simply enable nix-direnv[0], and then `use flake` in your envrc[1]. Finally, set up your flake.nix with a dev shell[2] (I'm definitely going to take a look at numtide's devshell).

You'll also need flakes and the nix command enabled first [3] (add that line to `/etc/nix/nix.conf` if you aren't using nixos).

Why use flakes? Mostly because it has a lockfile: there's a really good chance that "works on my machine" is "works on my team's machines." Flakes are also much cleaner than vanilla Nix.

> How many of today's startups are just servicing each other with VC money?

IMHO this is mostly the a phenomenon of the SAAS/platform space. Those practices don’t really apply to more traditional businesses (including high tech ones).

But you made me think of something else: this phenomenon was definitely booming in the 2000 crash, when net-related hardware companies were underwriting their own sales, which ended quite poorly. Not only is the subsidization you point out happening elsewhere, but hardly anyone buys much “networking gear” any more. From crucial, enabling tech to boring infrastructure in what, 15 years?

R and Python both have state of the art mapping tools and libraries that you can either script or use interactively in a notebook to accomplish literally any conceivable task using vector or raster data, from a simple choropleth map to geographically weighted regression to analysing satellite imagery using pre-trained models.

It's hard to separate these things but I've studied, especially the Russian revolution fairly in-depth, and the sense I get is that people were feeling extremely desperate because of the food situation, and when they saw how incompetent and aloof the government was, how unable to solve their problems, the resulting feeling of helplessness and hopelessness was the last straw. I believe if food had not been an issue it wouldn't have happened.

The organization in question is literally called the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It doesn't really get more science-y than that in America.

And surveys in general are very much science (without quotes) indeed. Even if this one isn't peer-reviewed yet, which would be a criticism that I'd accept, but that doesn't seem to be what bothers you.
Yes, that was in the first couple months of the vaccine when they were extremely effective. We soon discovered they didn’t last and the virus mutated.
We skipped the long-term studies.

I got the year wrong obviously. We didn’t have the vaccine in June 2020.

By the summer of 2021 the story of vaccine effectiveness completely changed.

So to summarize: THE NEWS HASNT BEEN TELLING EVERYONE FOR THE PAST YEAR THAT VACCINES COMPLETELY PREVENT THE DISEASE

In fact yes. I‘d choose a maintained lesser library or an in-house implementation over an unmaintained one. This is also the main benefit of python, with its huge standard lib that effectively gives some maintenance guarantees.

To give you an example: XLSX parsing. For quite a while, the most performant library ‚xlrd‘ had a big scary unmaintained notice on GitHub, yet people kept recommending and using it, often unnoticed through pandas, because they don’t read docs. I‘d refuse to touch that and instead use openpyxl, and now newer xlrd releases have even completely removed xlsx support.

It's not just that. Newspapers had much more predictable revenue and loyalty. If you wanted news, you pay for a paper to be delivered and/or you tune in to channel 2 every evening at 11.

Oh definitely they thought they would win early and easily. They were a bit delusional. They thought solely of heroic battles winning everything through sheer courage, cleverness, and grit. And didn't think about what it meant for a largely agrarian society to go up against a highly industrialized one.

But it's interesting how they lost control of the situation over time. Not just in the battlefield defeats and the industrial machine crushing them. But also in other ways. The Confederate government was short of everything and turned towards a centralized economy to produce what it needed. The elites found themselves constrained by the wartime needs.

By 1865, they were planning on arming black men to fight in the Confederate forces. Had this plan succeeded, it would have meant the end of slavery in the Confederacy. The very reason why the war was started by the elites in the first place.

Not always. Consider the rash of subsidized “we’ll pick up your dry cleaning and then save by doing the work at a centralized facility elsewhere). These parasites wiped out the network of local dry cleaners, in particular in SF.

You could say, well, they wiped out the buggy whip makers. But actually they wiped out the infrastructure and then went bust, leaving a desert (in dry cleaning terms) behind.

Parasite is too kind a word.
I think that's the parent's point. The hypothetical big announcement that this hypothetical "Log4Go" library has a vulnerability will not include a comprehensive list of all applications that use the library, so then we have to hope that the developers of every single application that uses Log4Go hears about the vulnerability, updates their software, makes a new release, and then notifies all their users somehow.

Alternatively, a more-savvy user has to hear about this Log4Go vulnerability and see if any of their applications use it and might need an update (which might involve contacting the maintainer to inform them that they need to update their software). But the vast majority of users aren't even going to hear about the Log4Go vulnerability, let alone understand what it means or what they need to do to protect themselves.

The safest thing would be for every application to dynamically link to a system-provided version of Log4Go, and OS maintainers would be the ones to send out an update via their OS's auto-update service. This does create other problems, but at least they are problems that technically-unsophisticated users do not need to solve or concern themselves with.

(Of course, there is no mechanism to do this with Go modules, so the entire thing is moot.)

This is why I get annoyed when developers say "I have to vendor library X into my application, because I'm afraid that the system copy will get updated to a version that breaks my app". Well then, maybe you shouldn't use a library whose author can't abide by semver and provide a reasonably-strong promise that minor and patch version updates won't break things. Otherwise you are just outsourcing your problems to your users.
This is a false dichotomy.

You are telling us how awful streetcars were, as if there was no other choice but to tear them up and convert to a car-based society.

Instead of fixing the problems: fix the track, better cars, more cars, more accessibility, like what was done all over European cities... Instead of doing that, opponents torched it all, invested HEAVILY in car-based infrastructure and helped create the mess we have today. Just like today, dollars were thrown at the car-based solution and the superior mass-transit solutions are left to rot, so that people can make your argument.

Your argument is specious at best.

In Boston we have brokers but it's not this reason (EDIT: See end). The realtors are really only there as the front door to get the lease signed. The landlord does the rest of the landlording. The claim is that the value add the brokers provide is vetting potential tenants - credit checks, etc as well as the time investment of showing the unit.

The standard fee is 1 months rent and this is almost always paid by the tenant.

The arguments here tend to cluster into two groups:
1) Laws should be passed that the landlord needs to pay the realtor's fee and not the tenant.
2) It doesn't matter if #1 happens as the landlord would just bake it into the rent anyways.

EDIT: I should say it's not just this reason as what you cite does happen. But it's just de rigueur here regardless of if you're renting the upstairs unit of a homeowner or going through a property management company.
