Like some of the sibling posters, I'll use this opportunity to share my feelings on Ada. I checked it out a few years ago, and I was amazed at how much it has to offer. Despite being designed by committee in the late 70s, Ada has many features that remain novel by today's standards. I'd say Ada is a 'must see' for anyone interested in implementing new programming languages, there are many great lessons language designers can take away from Ada.

Those people should be laughed at
One problem I’ve always had with Copilot is that it tends to introduce extra parentheses and braces. Say I already have a pair of braces for a function body, and Copilot decides to write the whole function, it will write everything including the closing brace, leaving me with an extra and a syntax error to fix. It really shouldn’t be that hard to tell I already have a closing brace, especially when they’re already considering the suffix.
Does freedom allow you to block apps? I have it and it works nicely for safari and my Mac. I haven't been successful in trying to have it block apps. Maybe because I have an ancient iPhone.
yes, its all extra individual items you have to keep in your working memory
Nit pick: About Japan's busiest high-speed rail line (Tokaido Shinkansen), Wiki says:

At peak times, the line carries up to 16 trains per hour in each direction with 16 cars each (1,323-seat capacity and occasionally additional standing passengers) with a minimum headway of three minutes between trains.

Not exactly "a thousand people every minute", but I agree with the jist of your post. High speed rail has orders of magnitude higher capacity.
If he did that, he would get absolutely grilled by people for not abiding to the poll result like he said.

I can't help but feel you might be right, though.
Is Elon OK? This seems pretty "woke", leaving policy decisions up to a (implicitly) majority-rules vote. I thought he was dead set against "woke".
I don't think it's been discussed externally yet. It's called on-demand (some references to it here - https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2022/11/15/meta-de...).
Lex‘s subreddit (where he is a mod) is also famous for removing any posts that don’t enthusiastically agree with Lex. A lot of confused Lex fans are surprised to find themselves banned from his subreddit after making the mistake of questioning something he said.

Podcast skills aside, this is not a guy with a track record of healthy social media engagement or moderation.
He could do it before lunch probably and then go on and solve the world energy crisis in time to make dinner.
Yeah, I just slap in that general direction and it works fine. That’s the beauty of that corner location, still fairly close and very forgiving.

(And I don’t want to use Caps Lock for that, Backspace on the other corner of the keyboard is far less convenient, that’s what I want Caps Lock to be.)
Whatever happened to Voco, their 'photoshop for voice'?
I'm not a frequent HN poster, so I don't know how to 'properly' cite the presentation, but I remember them showing it off years ago and... nothing came of it.
"I have no trouble staying alert this way when doing medium long drives. Long highway drives where autopilot is so good that it requires no manual interaction is where the trouble starts and I find it hard to keep paying attention."

Exactly!!!!!!

The trouble is when your attention wanes and you don't know exactly when you should be paying attention. What I found is the small amount of automation my car does is wonderful to keep my exhaustion down. When I drove for 4 hours in my 2012 prius, it was a chore, i had to do ALL the mental math myself. When I drive my 2023 CX-50 I have to pay attention at least 30% less, and that 30% is a massive difference, it feels like 90%. And any time my attention wanes, the car starts complaining because I am drifting or not putting enough immediate response to the road. It becomes a "pay attention quickly" wake-up call that happens within seconds of attention waning.

The worry is when the car doesn't snap you back into that attention mode, and you just trust it, right up to the problem.
One of the good things about OpenAI is that their demos are great on a mobile phone. This one is totally broken on iOS.
Lex Fridman already applied to be the new Twitter boss lol
English has the phrases “jerry-rigged” and “held together by duct tape and baling wire” which, as far as I can tell, mean the exact same thing and were born out of similar impoverished circumstances.

One thing people all over the world have in common is that our ancestors were dirt poor not very long ago, so I would expect this concept to be universal.
Sprinting is probably the purest example of no child not having a shot. Kids like to run. In fact, running is probably the most comprehensively sampled sport in the world. It's virtually impossible for anyone with a remotely normal childhood and a gift for sprinting to not know that they have it. Every kid knows who the fastest kid on their playground is. Every kid knows who the fastest kid in their class is, and in their school. And the fastest kids in each school/neighborhood/whatever compete at higher and higher levels until one day the fastest one is eating Chicken McNuggets[1] and signing 30 million dollar endorsement deals.

I like your comment a lot but just for fun I want to counter with "if you had 180 billion dollars would you really be wasting your time on twitter?"
so I can't really tell from the text. are they using some remote mode in the IDEs that keeps the editor itself local or are they doing NX type stuff?

also curious about the terminal access. does it maintain state on the remote (like screen/tmux) or are the sessions subject to reset under network cuts.

i'd also be curious about settings since the pods are ephemeral. i suppose people would have scripts to grab their dot files, but some things like say, the android avd tool, can store settings in myriad ways.

that said, looks very cool!
I had to stare at this for a minute or too before I understood that Leo Laporte died. Even as clickbait it’s confusing, because of the word “minor”.

One of the worst titles on HN in some time. Please change it.
With all due respect for you, I hereby am writing elon musk off. elon and trump have same mental make up.
Sorry for your loss. I too lost my dad to lung cancer three years ago. He died right after Thanksgiving at 87 also. My stepdad died in December, so the holidays kind of suck for me. Hope you find peace.
Things are really getting out of hand now. It'll be a lot harder to retain users when snap policies are enacted with little thought to the consequences. Royalty can have their accounts reinstated, but for everyone else there is no recourse.
I'd want heating and cooling costs split. I'm a lot more willing to put up with some hot days. Also helps account for one system being inefficient (in a house with separate heating and cooling).

At some level it would make sense for municipalities to actively identify inefficient buildings and offer the owners incentives to improve them. Fraught, but likely to improve things faster than waiting decades for stock to cycle.
He has the numbers though. He can see if hardly anyone is watching Westworld on HBO and calculate he could make more money by selling it and then using that money to create something people do want to watch.

As for harming the brand, I know what HBO used to be but don't know if it's that anymore. I don't know anything about calculating a brand image or how much it's worth, so I couldn't say in a landscape of thousands of competing outlets
>Does it mean also having a single unified production environment build?

No, the way you store the source code for projects is independent to how you ship them.

>Not having to update dependencies globally has been a feature as well.

For a large upgrade where a bot can't fix what will break it is typical to introduce it and have both versions in the monorepo at the same time. You still migrate each project one at a time and eventually remove the old version. Of course you could never finish migrating and have to support both versions at the same time.

>I found that if the structuring of projects in repositories make sense

I don't see how that makes any less sense than putting projects into folders.

>The deployment seems like a nightmare too, having to update the whole stack at once because you then have no idea which individual service changed between releases.

If your landing page is edited there is no reason that you should be deploying a new version of your mobile app. Deploying everything overran every commit is a tooling issue.

>Not to mention I really don't want people to spend time migrating project X - that does its work perfectly without issue since 5 years - to the latest version of LibFooBar just because project Y wants it.

Then pay the cost of supporting two versions of LibFooBar in your monorepo.

You can completely emulate what you do with multirepo with a monorepo. A monorepo gives you extra things like a single revision that can let you see the state of everything from when a build was made or making it easy to depend on the latest version of libraries without having to constantly bump it either manually or via bots.
In 1998-99, I worked at a company where we had an Alpha running Windows NT Server. The company was a large DEC customer and we had tons of Alpha servers sitting around.

He'll do just fine then. Compared to Musk, that is. In fact, I'd wager a crash test dummy would do fine, compared to Musk.
I'm aware of the form "womyn" from the 90s, but "womxn" appears to be more recent, and differentiated from "womyn" by its explicit inclusion of trans women and woman-like nonbinary people.

Edit: Wikipedia traces "womxn" back to the 1970s, but it seems unlike "womyn" it didn't get much currency in ordinary feminist usage, only finding purchase when the queer angle was added.
More fundamentally, it's not clear there is a coherent high-level vision. You can either

- allow all legal speech; or

- ban doxxing, publicly available location info, bots, spam, info critical of Musk/Twitter, parody, links to other social media, and Kanye West
The penalty payment only applied to the case that he couldn't secure funding.
Yeah, but that’s not how public company acquisitions work. Basically the reason that there’s a lag between when the contract is signed and when the acquisition closes is because there’s a lot of logistical stuff that has to happen in the meantime. SEC filings have to be made, shareholders have to approve the transaction, usually at least some regulators have to sign off, etc.

It can be very disruptive to a company’s operations and stakeholders (employees, vendors, customers, etc.) for it to agree to sell itself. So it wants to have its deal, including price, locked down to the maximum extent possible. So if markets turn down in that interim period, 99.9999% of the time, it’s the buyer’s problem. And in any event, Twitter would have had to go back to the shareholders for another vote even if they had wanted to take a lower price.*

But there was no particular reason for them to, because they had a tight contract and there weren’t any compelling arguments that the buyer wasn’t required to close per its terms.

* An obvious question is, what if markets had gone up instead of down in that period? There was still a binding deal to acquire Twitter, but in this instance, it is at least theoretically possible that another buyer could have made an unsolicited offer for the company and the board would have had a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to accept that off. In that case, they can terminate the merger agreement, but then the buyer gets a termination fee and usually reimbursement of transaction expenses. But the reason for the asymmetry is that, barring a deeply distressed situation, a company doesn’t put itself up for sale without a high degree of certainty that a sale on the original or better terms will go through at the end of the day.
The Pragmatic Programmer (Hunt & Thomas) is the most all-around applicable and readable over a break. Of the rest, I'd recommend Refactoring (Fowler). Not on your list, but a good follow-on to Refactoring is Refactoring to Patterns (Joshua Kerievsky)

He even blocked himself? Wow. But points for consistency, at least.
Not accurate exactly. The bank finances the loan, the dealership gets the money right away. The dealership gets a small commission from the bank for being the sole proprietor of the financing. The warranties are the dealership though
Thank you for TWiT!
Let's face it: monorepos are just huge monoliths. If you want modular software, you WILL have to pay the price of fragmentation.

Someone needs to think about the boundaries between different parts of a system. If those boundaries are defined by functions, classes, packages or services, it doesn't matter that much. Yes, it is always a pain.

Shipping the entire forest of modules in a single repo seems like a good compromise. It stops being a good compromise when you start creating a complicated network of soft dependencies between those modules. And when you have everything in a single repository, it's hard NOT to do that.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with monoliths. They're just better if you design them as such. There's nothing wrong with microservices as well. It shouldn't be a surprise though that neither of them are actually silver bullets.

I understand why these solutions were created. I see it as an ephemeral thing. Once someone figures out the tooling and practices to automate all of that painful management locally, developers will always prefer that. Then when it's fast and easy, we'll break it once again (like we did with classes, packages, containers, etc).
The only downside to z80pack is that it doesn't also play Apple II games like Virtual ][ does...
> Mr. Davis, the president of the Boring Company, has also directed Twitter employees to renegotiate the deals that the company has with firms such as Amazon and Oracle, which provide computing and tech services, the people said. The employees were told to suggest to those companies that Mr. Musk’s firms would not work with them in the future if they refused to renegotiate, the people said.

Twitter has their own datacenters, so this is likely to be peripheral. But we do know they've fired the majority of the staff actually operating those datacenters.
As the article suggests a little further down, the hypothesis is that they would prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics to themselves and family, as opposed to their patients.

> The latter [broad-spectrum antibiotics] might be more likely to eradicate an infection, but greater use of them also increases the chances that bacteria will develop resistance to these valuable medications, which can reduce efficacy for other patients.
That' s an interesting experiment. I uploaded an icon to an account created on tweedle.social and it stopped with an error. ;)
> Twitter pre-elon had a long runway to slide down. Musk turned that into an "immediate emergency" through unforced errors.

To be fair though, Musk probably sees that as optimizing for speed.
> If you want to buy a $1,000,000 Ferrari and thrash it into oblivion in 1 week that is totally your choice

Musk basically did just that with a Mclaren F1.

Yeah, im going to have to disagree with you on that. Politics is fine as long as it relates to the subject matter. For example, the anticompetitive direction Microsoft is taking with Windows 11 would be important to the context of technology. But if its talk about presidential elections on a tech show then thats a waste of my time as a technology enthusiast.

I watched a few episodes of TechTV back in the day because I liked hearing about new gadgets. The Twit thing seems like its geared toward tech support for the masses. Not something I am interested in.

IMHO, a show's interest is the gage of its success and if you are not focusing on what interesting in technology, then why are you doing it? That says more about the person doing the show then its says about them people listening to you. That's kind of like saying it the listeners fault that they don't find the show interesting. Yeah, and I'm thinking "OK, Let me know how that works out for you"
The neovim plugin mostly actually communicates with a node-js service seen here (https://github.com/github/copilot.vim/tree/release/copilot/d...). This is why they require you to install node for using the plugin and allows them to share logic with the vscode extension (also in javascript). I think all the features should be available even in neovim.
Please don't do Jugaad. I haven't met a single software engineer from India who thinks Jugaad is a good thing. It's not. If it's done it's meant to surmount bureaucratic or financial hurdles, not as a software development methodology.
Wouldn't that highly unlikely considering he's already the CEO of two large companies and involved in business his whole life?

I can't keep track of it all, so some bills go unnoticed or cancel windows lapse, or every time I want to use it, I need to go somewhere else.

You're confused; Messi and Maradona both played for Argentina's national football (/soccer) team.
Don't don't just don't. I was just talking to my son about this. They started with a very superior storytelling and by the end it was only mythology, maybe some story but zero "telling". S2 is still comprehensible but it appears they just believed the wrong side of their appreciation and went hyper on that.
I agree, but I think it's better than the alternative of it remaining with some patent troll to never be used in a productive way. If it remains in private hands, we don't get a say in what happens to it. If the government owns it, there's at least a chance that democratic processes can affect what happens to it and standards can be enforced that licensees must meet or adhere to.

There are plenty of NIH patents that are licensed, and while some of the companies they're licensed to make my skin crawl, they're at least being used productively, and not locked away to be used as a cudgel in a legal racket.
To oversimplify it somewhat, he could back out and walk away owing the $1 billion only if his debt financing sources had refused to fund. It was unlikely that was going to happen because (1) his lenders had committed to finance the deal (barring the occurrence of very, very unusual circumstances) and (2) they had their own separate legal and reputational exposure if they didn’t show up at closing.
> The trap is when you don't care about the perpetrators facing justice because you think the victims deserved it

> I don't think there's any real social obligation to feel sorry for victims.

I disagree. In general there is, it just isn't a legal one. Also this raises the question of where new laws come from (e.g. abolitionism)
As I understand it, this is a process, not a filter, so it does not remove any matter from the water, it changes the PFAs into something else, presumably something that is not as harmful.

Carbon filtration will remove any contaminants (e.g. Florida, chlorine) in your water through adsorption. For the money, you can't beat it.
Only necessary if it accumulates in our body, instead of staying in equilibrium with the environment (which is likely the case)
Don’t watch his show but I can definitely call myself what I want ;)
NIH regularly licenses patents, so that doesn't have to be the case.
I don't know why you think we can possibly come up with a competitor to something that, left alone for 20 years, builds itself into an incredibly strong & versatile building material, while sequestering carbon, using what amounts to crazy self-replicating nanotechnology from several hundred years in the future.
You read it wrong, Leo Laporte is alive! The (poorly titled) link is about his AM radio going off the air.
I tried this on a couple of speeches that were recorded in front of an artificial waterfall, and the output is not just bad - it’s not the English language. Nor any language on earth that I’m aware of. Haha

The tool that now comes with the latest updates to FCPX handled them without a problem. (Still some background noise, but you can clearly hear every word.) I think Adobe has a long way to go on this.
I have no doubt he’d end up as a puppet for Musk’s whims. Perhaps a great fall guy if Musk wants to blend into the background without actually ceding control.
Conceding that there are many types of anxiety what I read sounds rather like tunnel vision. That is not just unhelpful but can become harmful since yes these new technologies can be misused. Avoiding that is more likely when thinking flexibly.
Just FYI, you can put in the subreddit at the end of imgur and it will show you all images from that subreddit:

Caves scare the hell out of me - I get anxiety just thinking about it!

Come to think of it - I don’t think I have any hobby that borders on scary to anyone ( flying somehow calms me and snaps me to reality tho).

Perhaps I’m just an anxious person, but caving is a nope for me!
Fascinating, some people are just wired different.
Negative feedback after correcting a native speaker is either evidence of the sexiest bigoted Latinx culture - or evidence of a type of cultural imperialism depending on where you stand on these issues. I just wish folks could draw clearer connections to the harm of using Latina vs latinx
