The arguments against Copilot all come down to the same arguments people use for software patents. It's "I discovered an optimal algorithm for X, before anyone else, by a mere accident of birth, now to use it you must agree to my terms." It's the same argument that all landlords use to justify their existence.
That should have been written into the blog post. Not the current tasteless PR.
Many planes are flying over Russia, because Russia is big and sometimes you need to get things from one end of it to the other end of it quickly.
This only applies if you were reading the code, not executing any code on the remote system (which I thought you were doing). It sounds like you were doing something different.

Either way, I still think you're in the wrong, kind of like checking out a naked person getting changed because they accidentally left their blind open. It was available, maybe it was clever, but it's a strange way to learn how to code. Why didn't you just buy a coding book, or borrow some from the library ? Was the code really of good quality if the server was configured so badly?

Obviously we have a difference of opinion and that's ok.

The iPhone tries to guess where you want to place the cursor, because surely if you press somewhere, it’s not what you meant.

Being able to force-press anywhere on the keyboard to move the cursor with precision, was replaced with force-press on the spacebar only. Awful idea, because then you can only move half-a-line down and half-a-word left and right.

But we get the “swipe an entire word” keyboard that Android had too, and it is nice.
I believe the highest bitrate form of direct communication for humans is the hug. More than language, more than some hypothetical brain-computer interface.
All pricing in AWS is usage based and you'll find it's your usage that is variable.

An example of this is s3 storage. You tend to find your storage cost will increase over time as you put more stuff into s3. S3 also charges per api call so you'd have to somehow fix that.

You have egress fess also which you're not in control of so variable customers usage will net a variable cost.

In terms of reserving compute power (a popular answer) you can also achieve fixed price with on demand if you don't auto scale. So reserving here doesn't remove that variability. Reserving just make it cheap if you have constant use. So you can reserve you DB server as it's always on and you'll save over on demand.

Many of the small cloud providers offer much less variability for their services with things like fixed networking cost. I tend to use those as I want a fairly fixed bill. The only thing that's variable on my cloud bill is backup storage and GBP to EUR exchange rate. The backup fee's are < 5% of the total cost at the moment.
I can relate to number 3 so much. Especially as kids get 4 years old and older it becomes a lot of fun to spend time with them. And it’s not even playing with them that I enjoy much, though building Lego or a puzzle is fun, but working with them on homework or music assignments or karate is so satisfying as you see them grow and you do see that your presence actually makes a big difference in their motivation when they approach some task.
Unhealthy food tends to also be cheap and easy to prepare. Healthier options typically entail either more involved preparation or are more expensive. "Healthy" is also poorly defined, and when you're working crazy hours and living paycheck-to-paycheck, spending hours at a grocery store poring over nutrition facts doesn't tend to rank high in priority.
When the iPhone came out, I still had a Blackberry. The auto-type was much superior even back then.

It would easily recognize and complete phrases, so “k” would expand with a few clicks to “Kind regards, $firstname $lastname”.

On the iPhone today, it takes at least three chars to start noting that I want to insert my last name (pretty frequent in forms).

I think a lot of people are being kept awake worrying about these types of articles.
You have the same bad incentive when finance comes and say "cut 10% this year and 8% next year". You can porobably already cut over 20% today - after the needed work - but you will do the bare minimum because otherwise you will have less budget and possibility to cut even further next year.

I saw an article that said, 50% of all fossil fuel emissions has been generated since 1992[1], I wonder what percentage of the whole would be occupied by digital content created up to, say 1995?

Nowadays you go anywhere and dozens of people would be snapping and videoing away. Apropos video, I guess since I wrote "digital content" above, I'm ignoring that there's probably dozens of years' worth of film, video and audio recordings that were made before 1995...

Another problem is that Google's RCS implementation has a Signal-protocol prekeys-exchange server in the loop that is not accessible for the public. So even if you'd implement RCS you could not send messages to android devices as you can't fetch the prekeys through anything but the Messages app.
I definitely agree with you that the US has a really bizarre kind of anti-intellectualism going on, and the GOP is kind of leveraging it, because much of their voting base is rural and old and less educated, and so they're basically putting out this divisive message that educated people are these "other" folks, and 'real americans' are the less educated people. Sarah Palin literally said it directly in a speech. One GOP Senator called an opponent who had multiple college degrees "a snob" .

In general, I think this 'rebel' instinct can go either way. It can lead you to challenge the status quo and make an improvement, it can also lead you to think you're a rebel because you deny the moon landing, or you're a flat earther, or an anti-vaxer. Anti-establishmentarianism can turn from a legitimate gripe into a conspiracy rathole really quickly.

From "I don't wanna wear a mask or get vaxed" to "vaccines are implanting you with Bill Gates microchips!"

It's kinda weird how Americans would look down on a very qualified political candidate with lots of degrees, but then boost up a blithering idiot because "he's one of us". No where else is that attitude prevalent. When you are flying commercial airlines, do you want the unqualified, uneducated guy flying the plane? When you're getting heart surgery, do you want the guy who never went to med school doing your surgery? But somehow, when it comes to politics, the guy who studied economics, history, political science, engineering, somehow loses points.
It may be easier, but still take a lot of work to migrate. Perhaps k8s + object store + LB is easier for the developer, who has a few AWS APIs to replace, but is otherwise not affected. But talk to the person who has to rewrite 5k+ lines of terraform, figure out users, roles & policies in a new IAM, aunderstands the differences between EKS and GKE (what's the Google equivalent for IRSA?). None of it is rocket science, but it's time consuming. And while Google can migrate data from external databases (including AWS Aurora) it's still a big squeaky-bum moment.
I will probably get down voted, but I feel like I waisted 45 minutes, keeping watching the video and waiting for something interesting.

I think that a two minute video about live coding and visual representation, for those that don't know such things exist would have been enough.
For IDA Home they do give you their cloud decompiler for 64-bit binaries: “The 64-bit PC, ARM and PPC come with a compatible cloud-based Decompiler currently in beta testing mode”
https://hex-rays.com/products/idahome/

But, like you said, IDA Home is additionally limited to one architecture, which is a bit annoying.
The only harm done is the money lost on that particular investment, of course.
Again, this is a very fixable problem, and society will be the better for it by learning to adapt better rather than just throwing more kids at the problem. Kids do not owe their parents anything, including geriatric care.
I guess so, unless we were severely misinformed. We had historically one big AWS account, we are now splitting it into more fine-controlled accounts and migrated under a "root" account following AWS best-practices to have unified billing and we can enable the Business support only on the big (legacy) account where we run 100% prod and other things. I don't think we had the option to enable it on the root account and get all the other accounts covered.

I would try to record this conversation, and once I had the recording, warn the principal in a public letter that would be a criminal act and cause for a civil suit, and threaten to also take it to the local news media. Of course, if my daughter was willing to take up this fight.

I agree and see Thumper's Law as a combination of the Principle of Least Surprise and the concept of Loss Aversion in the sense that a pleasant surprise, like a correctly guessing what you were going to type, is greatly outweighed by the pain of an unpleasant surprise, like when the phone changes "it's" to "it's" even though I typed and wanted the former.
> The author of the report I linked concludes that fission cannot be main power source of the future because of the limits of mineable uranium. However he completely ignores the ocean as a source of uranium, which is basically inexhaustible.

In addition to ignoring sea uranium mining which does not exist in any meaningful way he also ignores a bunch of things which actually do exist like LiFePO4 batteries, the last 10 years of PV research, trains, LEVs and affordable offshore wind.

It also ignores things that are much more likely to exist than uranium sea mining like prussian blue batteries, AlS, iron air, perovskite solar panels and affordable tidal power (all of which are presently undergoing large scale industrialisation).
> I think there are a lot of people that would like to pay for IDA but can't get it.

Many years ago we wanted to buy IDA Pro license and were quickly declined because we had whois privacy protection enabled on our domain.
In my opinion, they should limit the text fields that auto-correct to a very limited set of applications. It becomes very problematic when attempting to type words in a foreign language.

Just last week I was attempting to type a foreign word into a translate box on a webpage in Safari and the browser or page kept removing characters I had entered, presumably it was proactively auto-correcting but it was completely unpredictable because it also seemed to retain all the letters I had typed even though it was also removing them from the text field.
I think purity and lack of purity are both required for a religion to be a successful meme.

To much purity and the religion faces a "no true scotsman" decline resulting in schisms and deconversion

To little, and it becomes too diluted to hold any significance.

The way a religious macromeme manages the level of purity in an evolving social environment is natural selection at work.

I'm still hacking away at LLDAP (https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap), a light and secure mini-LDAP server made to be easy to configure. It's targeted at self-hosters, potentially on small hosts.

We have a growing community that keeps pestering me with bug reports for the integrations with the myriads of services that can talk to LDAP, so things are going well. I'm struggling a bit to find the time to work on bigger features, though.

“She’s stuck in an infinite loop and he’s an idiot”
I take brunch and life to be stand-ins for two notions. Brunch as the ability and desire to wish for a lazy day spent as one wishes, desultory consumption of something nice and/or new while in control of our time. Life is the sum-total of all meaning we accrue along the way, including our experiences from events we are thrust into.
And it's not only on the client side, but also server side. There are carriers who implemented Universal Profile on their own and cannot connect to the ones running Jibe. So much for a federated protocol.

So today it's either Google or Samsung messages and Jibe, otherwise RCS is essentially useless. From what I know Facebook wanted to get on board at some point, I'm not sure why this didn't work out.

The fact Google publicly whining about the iMessage lock-in is pretty rich.
Stalebot is really insulting.

May be a good idea if you want people to go away or treat all issues as garbage, nonetheless it is infuriating and nowadays I check for it before making any bug report.

You have Stalebot? I am not going to bother with spending time on bug report.

To be clear, I support aggressive issue triage and closing them.

It's not a strawman, you literally are saying that people shouldn't work on women getting into STEM because they aren't also working on getting men into education. What I'm saying is those are two different tasks, and it's unreasonable for you to ask someone who is doing 1 good thing to stop doing it because you want them to do another thing that you think is good.

>So no, if you want to be taken seriously then there would need to be parity in how these issues are treated.

Firstly, they already are taken seriously. Secondly, go ahead and look, there are plenty of campaigns to try and get more men into early years education.

Rings personally true for me. I can do fine on five hours for quite a while although it's somewhat tiring, while six is usually enough for me generally. Same for my father who always has slept relatively little.

What I'd really like to see is more research into individual variance. I felt quite guilty about my sleep habits because people kept going on about eight hours. A few years ago there was a book about this that made the tours on every news show until it was torn apart for making half of its content up.

Maybe an equivalent would be Microsoft's attempt at gaming via the Xbox in the early 2000s. Lose billions, sell hardware a major loss, little developer support.

20 years later, Xbox still does not contribute to Microsoft's profit in a meaningful way.

VR could end up being the same for Meta. The market will grow. But it may not be able to turn a profit for a long time and the profits may not be big enough for a company of Meta's size.

I have several married with kids friends that somehow seem to have plenty of time. One is president of 250 person company. He also writes small games for a personal website. One of his kids is old enough to participate in the creation

I have another friend who's a manager of 70 people at FANG, has 2 side companies. 2 kids at home. No idea how he does it.

I have another who works at FANG and from his facebook he seems to have have time for personal projects, and gaming, and guitar, and photography, while raising 3 kids.

One of my co-workers has 3 kids and yet managed to show off amazing side projects every 2-3 months.

I know several more.

I don't know what they do. I'm single and feel like I have time for nothing :P But it's clearly possible.

I know others that find a way to do fun stuff with their kids. In both sense. Some find kid friendly activities that they'd also enjoy. Being makers together for example. Others visit all their friends often and bring the kids. The kids are great and us friends love hanging out with them.

Show HN: A simple platform to find co-founders and buy side projects together
Hi Guys,

I got overwhelming support and feedback from my last post about secondfounder.com but still, I felt the need of connecting founders together so that they can together buy a side project. It's very often when a non-technical founder buys a project they have to find a technical founder to take that project further.

Today I have implemented this feature in secondfounder.com

→ List yourself here and find a co-founder to work on the next big thing https://secondfounder.com/find-founder

Your feedback is always welcome.

Thanks
Yes, experiments are lacking for code, but I believe the physiological principles (eye fixation, etc) still stand.

Also: the optimal line width for prose seems to be 50-75 characters (including whitespace). Source: https://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability

Assuming you're using a language where indentation is either mandated (e.g. Python) or recommended (e.g. C with "One True Braces"), with 4-spaces indentation (here again, no experimental evidence, but this seems to be the norm nowadays), and you don't abuse cyclomatic complexity in your functions / methods, you have let's say between 2 and 4 indents on the left so 80 is close to the optimum.

Note: up to 100 is probably still OK from a readability POW. But this assumes that all readers are able to increase their window size from the default 80. That's probably true for people using GUIs, but may still be problematic for people with sight issues (e.g. people over 50 or with more serious medical conditions...).
As a huge LotR fan, season one was incredibly boring and unlikeable. It even made me wish Amazon never made it. I would rather have a cheaper Prime membership than this show.
SMS was, in my opinion, the killer feature for Signal. Telling people to install yet-another-inbox which was only going to be used by their one privacy-weirdo friend was a non-starter.

Saying "this is a better SMS app" got people on-board and let them "upgrade" to secure messaging. That's why I started using it in the "TextSecure" days.

But, sadly, I agree with Signal's reasoning here. Mixing the two protocols was annoyingly complex. If someone stopped using Signal, messages you sent to them would never arrive - with no notification. And there's no obvious way to "downgrade" to SMS.

I was working on RCS a decade ago. I'm glad to see it is finally getting somewhere - but I'm sad it is at the expense of better and more secure protocols.
> good outweighs the bad

It's not that sort of rational choice. Choice can be an enemy of joy.

For most of human history you just woke up one day and found you were
a parent (no immaculate miracles necessary). Birth control and career
centred lifestyles have changed that. And that's mostly good, at least
for child welfare.

But what if life were more arbitrary? I remember that strange study on
happiness that followed the fortunes of one group of people who won a
lottery, and another who had life-changing serious injuries. Fortune
or misfortune could not account for their long-term happiness, because
people are complex and adaptable.

I think it's similar with parenting. Having children is both the worst
and the best thing that can happen to you. Some days you wake up and
think "You ruined my life. WTF am I doing?". Other days are filled
with sublime ecstasy, feeling literally blessed with something you
know is missing from other people's lives, and feeling eternally
grateful. And those two feelings are not incompatible.
> Just like how pocket computers are called "phones"

Yeah, that's a really good point.

I guess at least we have the modifier "mobile" and "smart" to differentiate the different types of phone (up to and including the pocket computer).
