Ask HN: GitHub Copilot's suggestions are less often recently?
Did anyone notice that Github Copilot's suggestions are less often recently or is it only me?
Well, I'm only using electricity at night. During the day, the sun lights everything. But now that I say that, I realize that's not going to be the same for everybody.

But adjusting the wall color through lighting is more complex than just having the walls be painted the shade you want.
> Apt is by far the easiest way o install and keep software updated.

The main issue with distro-centric package formats like deb/rpm is they come from a pre-containers/pre-sandboxing era.

Their most ergonomic usage is installing distro-blessed software system-wide, where you trust the distributor to have ensured it's not some malware or other nefarious junk.

When it comes to installing software directly provided by third-parties, open or closed, there's a strong need for sandboxing integration at the package level. And once you're sandboxing instances of software, you start needing things like portals to access your files and devices outside the sandbox.

If a third-party has provided you with a .deb or .rpm, what's to prevent that package's privileged hooks from doing harm when you install it via dpkg/apt/rpm as root? Let alone the installed software potentially being malicious, the packaging itself can do serious damage.

This is a big part of why stuff like flatpak exists today.
If you're prepping a home to sell, sure.

Stark white in a brightly lit room can be overwhelming. Sure you could dim the whole room, but now you've dimmed everything. For something like a gathering room, where a person may want to be reading, such a solution doesn't work.

And I'm not using 'soft' white bulbs that make everyone look jaundiced to hide the wall color.

Much easier all around to go offwhite(or anything but white) on the walls, using neutral 3kish bulbs to your preferred brightness.
It’s our government endorsing the use of an (in my opinion) horrible and closed platform. It’s public money being spend to promote a commercial company that’s not even Dutch and has a horrible privacy track record. Our local pirate party seems to agree, I’m always glad I voted for them when I read stuff like this: [0], what’s perhaps more crazy is that in that piece it is argued that WhatsApp is just how we call group chat apps :s.

> Maybe the IRS could do something to making receiving income via tips tax disadvantaged (and loudly, publicly)

Tips should be treated as income to the business if the business collects it, because that's exactly what it is.

Yeah, this would suck for workers who rely on tips. But the blame for this lies with business leaders; they are the ones who have chosen to abuse this loophole for personal gain.

>When Latinx began to be used in advanced milieus, a poll found that a large majority of Latinos and Hispanics continued to go by the familiar terms and hadn’t heard of the newly coined, nearly unpronounceable one.

There's also a practical case: these terms make you sound like a damn space alien. Unless your audience already agrees completely with you, you lose credibility by using this language. Posturing for your own team has become more important than relating your views to others and pursuading them to join your side.
To say that sitting in front of a screen is just as natural as foraging for mushrooms is nonsense from the perspective of what your body is optimized to do, on an evolutionary timescale.

There's also the emotional impact of losing a job and the psychological toll of looking for work and possibly not finding it. Just interviewing by itself can be mentally and emotionally grueling.

Corporations have none of these stressors.
> Hotels and many other places have started offering USB A and USB C ports. I think we're close to the point (5-10 years away?) where you could go to the US from Europe with just a laptop, for 2 weeks, and you'd be able to charge it just by using USB C ports available in restaurants, hotels, bars, offices, etc.

Yeah, but I don't think there are USB C razors yet.

> On top of that, for wall outlets the EU is mostly standardized except for Denmark, I think.

France and Germany have different outlets (although there are plugs that work in both), and as far as I can tell, Italy has a completely different outlet from either of them.

And the UK never stopped using their own system.
Ask HN: How do you deal with contracts that involve art?
Hey. I was debating a personal side project ( simple visual novel game ). I just want to tell a story, but I am not, for lack of a better term, talented when it comes to art so I am currently trying to commission some assets. That said, I am not entirely certain what to expect or what common pitfalls are. Are there any particular things I should keep in mind? Any phrases to cross out from contract? If you did it before, what would you have done differently?
> I have just applied for a UKRI grant this week and we are not allowed to put in page charges there full stop

I am highly and increasingly out of touch with how research funding is organised these days, but the MRC guidance about grants [1] says:

> Applicants should not include any costing for access publishing charges (APCs) or other types of publication in respect of peer reviewed research articles (including review articles not commissioned by publishers) and conference proceedings that acknowledge funding from the MRC.

> The charges for APCs and other publication charges for all research papers resulting from work funded by MRC (or one of the other research councils) are supported through block grants to UK HEIs, approved independent research organisations and research council institutes. A RO can then access these funds to pay for APCs for any article resulting from research council funding.

So no, you can't pay for publishing costs out of a grant, but you can pay for them out of funding the research councils have already given to your institution (and which they may have spent on property investments etc of course). is that not the case for you?

I believe the consuming beast needs to continually be fed, and this will be precisely one of the primary drivers of putting in a program similar to Universal Basic Income. Without this, the business impact will result in layoffs, etc which will need to be stemmed through such "stimulus" programs.

However, since this has become an ingrained habit, this cannot be a short term stimulus, and will need to be continued.

Inflation as a result cannot be ignored obviously, but I suspect this will be ignored, and will cause significant drops in people's standard of living, and create huge divide in the lifestyles of those who rely on UBI like programs, and those who do not.
Maybe I'm just a bit of a Karen, but I am always very direct about it if I am not happy with a service so they have an opportunity to make it right. This is especially true with a hair cut. I'm not leaving till it's to my satisfaction. the tip is a thank you for 1. putting up with my particularness and 2. getting it done correctly and 3. bigger if they get it done right without needing correction.

Possibly related, I moved last Summer and it took me until January to find a barber I've now been to repeatedly. I have really high expectations and before moving I had been going to the same shop in my previous city for more than a decade, and was on a first-name basis with my barber there and his wife and eldest son and sometimes hung out with him outside of work (mutual interest in classic cars). For me, the tip is absolutely a direct and personal thank you gift, because I have very high standards not many people can meet, and few that do get it right the first time and as a matter of course. I generally tip well, though.
How much of that is due to salary expectations?

I think there's plenty of people that have got used to an inflated salary, so offering "local market rate" won't cut it.

Time will tell if the global downturn will lead to reverting to norm (especially as a lot of companies seem to be moving away from fully remote).
Measuring current income is much less helpful for someone's longevity than measuring how long they can sustain a productive lifestyle without burning out. That's why people care so little about so-called "objective" metrics when considering things like "how much they like their lives".
Unfortunately because of the thickness of the skull I'm not sure there will ever be another way. Any signal we get from the outside is very attenuated compared to what we get by going in.

It could be a generational schism. You can imagine some parents starting to do this procedure if it's similar to cochlear implants, but most adults would refrain from doing it, and after a while all the youngsters communicate and think at their own super speed.
Everybody just wants more money on both sides. Customers want to be able to spend the least amount of money going out. Business want to maximize their income.

Tipping (and added taxes/fees) is just mudding the water. It is making it harder for consumers to see what is the real price is for the goods/services.

As a consumer I want all businesses to be forced to have explicit upfront pricing so they can all compete over. Some businesses will die but this is better in the long term
"Reasonable" is pretty subjective.

NewPipe is still working for me, to anyone looking for an immediate replacement.
Thanks for your ground-truth insight. Does your county offer a "plat" where you can view your property plat number, and adjoining parcels? Surely it includes a road if your property has road frontage? I'm not sure how other countries handle it but in the US at least, seems to be fairly standardized from state to state with all of this information written on it.
Or maybe it's time to stop missing the forest for the trees. Not being paid enough is hardly the primary issue. We desperately need a crash.
Every big company that has some leverage will use it to the max extent, there are not really separate roles in the business, it's all about wrestling for power. Look at apple for an example of rent-seeking pretty much everywhere they can

> Dismissing it as completely unreliable is unnecessary hyperbole

No it is not. If it hallucinates facts in 5% of cases, that is completely unreliable. You're basically saying "yes, it produces facts, as long as you already know the fact and double check it!" You cannot trust it with knowledge-based questions that you don't already know.

I just asked it the height of the Statue of Liberty. I had to then look it up for myself just to see if it was telling the truth, because there's no citation or 'confidence level'. How is that useful?
It is both a reliable synthesizer of fiction and a translator of fact, and empirically so:

What's especially fucked up in that case is that Google suspended his account and didn't restore it even after the cops closed the case and said that it wasn't a crime.

So the lesson is clear - avoid Google as much as possible and use services from separate companies. Email from one company, Chat/IM from a different one and so on. So that if one of your accounts gets suspended for one reason or another - it would not affect the rest.
All you may need is boiled chicken.
They're not really open source, they're open core which is a little different. Sure, their core's license is open source compatible, but their philosophy is definitely more about stratifying between free and paid.

There are progressive companies, but they are usually labor coops.
Absolutely. Inflation will be the result (it already is, but will continue) and will likely cause significant drops in people's standard of living, and create huge divide in the lifestyles of those who rely on UBI like programs, and those who do not.
I agree, and I also feel we should stop using the term sideloading.

It has a very negative connotation, like you are doing something odd, out of the ordinary, unorthodox, even semi-forbidden.

In reality it's just: installing and running the software of your choice on a device you own.

Well, Steve Jobs specifically.

Maybe because I am in denial, but I like to sort of differentiate the two. However you feel about the twain a decade ago, to be blunt, Steve is no more and Apple continues on.
In that first paragraph, you can also read it as a society for the study of the American Cancer, and it also makes sense. Unfortunately, it metastasized and any connected tissue gets infected as well.

I guess most immigrants don't need to learn the shibboleths, unless they suddenly get into money and want to join the upper class. It's about discriminating between the commoners and the rulers, that's why it constantly evolves, too. Need to regularly release new ciphers if you're communicating in the open with a trivial cryptography.

There's very little content here, especially nothing that would be considered 'senior'.
But, you can get all of these things from HTML. Especially visual hierarchy and accessibility. The cornerstone of accessibility on the web is: does it display legibly and is it navigable without any CSS? CSS is eye candy. It's aesthetics. Those are not without value, but the value is not in the things you list.
JOON | Remote (US Timezones) | Full-stack Engineer | Full Time | https://joon.io

JOON is the must-have benefit that workforces actually use and appreciate. Employers use JOON’s card-connected experience to automatically make any category or popular merchant from Peloton to Udemy into a reimbursable employee benefit. Unlike other benefits platforms, employees can use their own credit cards to make purchases which are automatically tracked, reported, and reimbursed via our integrations with Plaid and Stripe. The end result is that employees can get reimbursed by their employers at whatever [gym, health food shop, learning platform, etc] they prefer. Other benefits platforms might see only 20% utilization by employees; we routinely see utilization of JOON at >70%. Our customers are eliminating the typical administrative burden while achieving higher benefits utilization, employee satisfaction, and workforce retention.
Our core tech stack is straightforward: - Ruby on Rails - React - Typescript - PostgreSQL

A few sample projects you might work on: - Improving our purchase classification algorithms - Building and improving deep integrations with our financial partners (e.g. Stripe, Plaid) with their latest APIs, and with HRIS platforms and identity providers - Migration of our frontend application fully to TypeScript

Our team is tiny (<5 engineers!) but rapidly growing; currently we're looking for full-stack engineers who identify with our mission and want to make a huge impact. To find out more (and apply) check out the full post here: https://angel.co/l/2wkn8P
Meanwhile, google maps already added all the streets for a new subdivision near me that hasn't even finished grading the terrain yet. It's funny to watch a doordash driver pull down a dead-end street that LOOKS like it ought to connect to mine, and then back out, take a massive detour, and enter my neighborhood from the exact opposite side.
It’s about class. Not in the usual American sense of how much money you make, but in the older sense of people thinking they are better sorts of people because they have the correct diction, education, religious views, professions, and so on.
Let's just not create any new words / neologisms for "social justice" purposes. To be clear, no newspeak. Let's remain using the OED from circa 2006.
I'm a geophysicist by experience and training. I see your company is heavily into steerable tools. I spent a bit of time with a blue company as an MWD engineer once. The whole signal formation and transmission environment presents a lot of challenges for successful decoding of the toolface info for BHA orientation and location. I always struggled to see how unschooled field engineers decoding toolfaces from deviated boreholes were allowed to serve as and to present downhole borehole orientation information to state agencies certifying those as accurate, effectively serving as surveyors but with no prior training to understand maps, boundaries - especially as it applied to mineral ownership issues, etc.

Knowing from experience the many things that can go wrong on a downhole survey leaves me wondering why the survey data from those past generation of tools was taken as acceptably accurate. It was not standard practice at the time to take a multishot to verify hole geometry and once it all went horizontal you had to trust the MWD/LWD. In many cases that was fine but in some situations that was dicey. Some of those MWDs were notoriously bad as engineers pushed them past the limits of signal decoding in order to avoid being charged for the trip to retrieve, especially the one I worked with.

That's how I remember it all anyway. Email is in profile if you want to chat. Good luck in your endeavors!
Same as my WRAP boards from a few years earlier, but as with any other device out there, you may indeed protect yourself but have no guarantees the people you're talking to can or will do the same, unless they're privacy conscious and know how to protect themselves. Unfortunately all it takes is one of the endpoints to be compromised.
Yours however is still a very valid point on why we should keep at hand an old device from before every chip could contain a backdoor, if only just for texting over serial port, just in case, although this could bring other problems like not having enough power for heavy encryption.
"Being reasonable" is more or less universally defined as "balancing between parsimony and explainability in a good-faith analysis".

I wish companies would fix their addressing. My address has the form:

1 Example Close
Somewhere Drive

But often when entering your postcode and selecting a house number, the address ends up as "1 Somewhere Drive" - which is a different place. The forms don't seem to realise that some locations should have multiple address lines. Fortunately in the UK, the postcode helps ensure our mail (mostly) arrives.
There are pockets of CR that from a tourist's perspective can feel as expensive as the Bay Area. There's a whole industry that caters specifically to that.

My wife, son and I live a US middle-class lifestyle here and our total expenses are ~30% cheaper than living in an expensive part of Colorado. It's certainly not cheap, but we could definitely pare down expenses pretty quickly if we needed to.

I love the Bali themed hotels in the mountains here. And yes, we've paid ~$100/night for this.
In places where you pay upfront at the register and wait for your order, it almost feels like blackmail. Tipping happens at the time of placing the order. Not saying everyone does this but can't be sure that nothing fishy happens if someone tips low/min.
Really not trying to strawman. You literally said an executive or two should be thrown in jail if their organization was breached. So which government executive would you "throw in jail" if their organization was breached?
As our societies functional literacy has declined we have lost words that gave us nuanced shades of meaning.

"Experience with" meaning, "Have dealt with this personally, first hand" gradually became, "has been near or studied and feels comfortable claiming authority on that basis." So the new compound word "Lived experience" was created to allow us to still use the first definition reliably.

Many times people who have "experience with" a topic have really "studied" it.

That's the social contract -- you go to a full service restaurant, you tip 20% of the bill.

I can understand for things like even retail and other non-traditional PoS stuff but for full service dining, this isn't new.

If you want to opt out of participating in the whole tip structure there, then you probably should opt out of participating in full service dining as well.
