My question wasn't about the key per se (which is just a trigger for Copilot, it seems), but about what Copilot itself brings. Can it do any of the stuff you describe?
> But I think it stemmed from her incompetence in her testimony. She seemed really stupid and false in her answers.

You mean the testimony compelled as part of that campaign? I wasn’t impressed with her performance but that circus was set up trying to create a gotcha situation where the same people who have spent decades telling us that all positions should be welcomed on campuses would portray anything less than a complete restriction on speech as the universities embracing antisemitism. The guy gunning for the Penn president had been waiting for years to get an opportunity like this.

Gay was trying to thread a line between the gotcha framing and what a legal free speech policy allows, and fumbled into the trap. Yes, she handled it poorly but that doesn’t excuse the successful campaign to create the situation which made it look worse than it actually was or the massive national media effort to make this the issue everyone is talking about rather than something important.
But then why are we talking about having giant houses with huge dining tables? Invite as many people over as your living quarters can accommodate. Do whatever with them. Make whatever food. I agree with you that the value is not in the food but in the act and intention of making it.

I think this whole thread is depressing because it suggests you need a bunch of shit to be happy and have good relationships. But if you have good friends and relationships often you don't need all that shit. If you need a pickup once a year you probably have a friend you can borrow it from. Even better you can invite that friend to help you with the thing you need it for and help them with something else when they need it.
EV’s currently make the most sense for people who own a single family home or otherwise live in a community with readily available near-home chargers, where EV’s are on average more convenient than gas cars. People who rely on street parking and apartment dwellers would likely find EV’s more inconvenient than a gas car.

We may be close to saturating the market for the former group.

Another factor that could be at play is that all the non-Tesla EV makers have recently announced they will switch their chargers to NACS, but this will take a couple of years to roll out, so it’s not a great time to buy a non-Tesla since it already has legacy charging hardware.
I dunno, I'm not a stickler for details. For example, I know that windows with many small panes ("muntins") are not cost-effective today and partially defeat the benefits of double and triple glazing, and the alternatives (fake bars that are glued on or between the glass) look shockingly bad... but any kind of partition at all (casement, fixed pane + tilt-turn pane, etc.) already adds visual interest and does not look out of place, as e.g. is evident in this photo of Georgian architecture with windows that I'm guessing are not historically accurate: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Baggot_S...
I don't think we (Norway) should be a poster child for EVs. Or, we've done great in increasing their share, but at what cost? Changing cars from ICE to EVs doesn't really solve most of the problems cars pose to our society. The money poured into this each year could've built so many new railways, metros, supported public transport for decades etc.

Yes, because that is a legal requirement if you want to employ people in the United States.
In addition to being narrower than cookies it's also broader: they're phasing out all shared client-side storage in a third-party context. Imagine if a.example and b.example both iframed in a page from c.example. It doesn't matter whether the c.example page uses cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB, or something else: it can't share arbitrary state to recognize that the user on a.example is the same user as the one on b.example.

It's common to use "cookies" to refer to any client side storage because at the time people first started talking about "cookies" the other forms didn't exist yet.

This would all be much clearer if we talked about "cross-site tracking".
Harnessing the Power of Svelte UI Frameworks
It's so much easier to try to shame and gaslight people into believing their problems are fake than it is to fix those problems. The "range anxiety" idea is going to be particularly important as EV tech matures and midmarket vehicles have to start being made, because those vehicles are going to absolutely suck. Right now almost all of the ones we talk about are luxury cars, of course they they fantastic performance and features, but the 20k new car of the future is going to look like the electric Mini Cooper. Estimated range of a bit over 100 miles with a 7 second 0-60. Basically an ICE car but with dramatically worse range.
Why do you thing "public view" is something good. And why should I expose myself to that pain?!
Some places forcibly redirect all port 53 traffic to your ISP's DNS server, some British ISPs do this if I'm not mistaken. If popular operating systems started doing this, more countries would follow.

DNS over HTTPS would solve the problem, but some countries might outlaw browsers that ship with it if it became too much of a problem.
yes it hasn't really got a dedicated sound out and an i2c chips is absolutely needed. I meant more because while is absolutely possible to play say an mp3 on it its simple not a thing it does too easily in a useful manner in a multi-application device context.

I mean you can absolutely build a shoutcast stream receiver with it. Or run a NES emulator with sound on it. But this ttgo device seem like it would be best as a console or maybe a mastodon front-end. In that case the most the speaker would make sense for would be some beeps.
This will get better as the charging network gets built out more. And the experience is completely stress free in some cars with a good network today.
The 2014 Ford Escape I had before my current EV was actually worse than his calculations. I'm glad your parents' Camry was reliable but my experience was not good.

1 hour per month is amortized. My last car ended up in the shop for several days. It's not several days of my time but dealing with renting a replacement and coordinating the drop-off took me half a day, and this happened more than once. I ended up burning a vacation day on it which was pretty frustrating.

I have several lasers in that category somewhere in the depths of the electronics stuff i accumulated from hoarding and reselling it for years, including a surplus fiber laser i auctioned myself into owning. They can certainly start fires under the right conditions, but that requires the fiber end to be polished VERY well, otherwise, the beam isn’t focused enough to deliver the needed energy, bundled up on one spot. Still way enough to make you blind before you notice tho, nothing to skimp on in any case.
> but the screenshot and presentation mode changing ones are just Super+Shift+S and Super+P

For the presentation mode key, it used to be its own independent key, but Microsoft changed its mind and told manufacturers to make it send Win+P instead. Some laptop manufacturers made it depend on the Windows version (through the ACPI _OSI method), so if you pretend to be an older Windows version, it'll have the former behavior instead of Win+P (though doing so could have other negative consequences, see https://mjg59.livejournal.com/85923.html).

Unfortunately, this was long ago enough (or the search engines got bad enough at searching old stuff) that I'm not finding the place where I originally read about that; the most I could find was a StackOverflow answer (https://askubuntu.com/questions/62319/is-there-an-equivalent...).
Over the years, Amazon has gone more and more in the direction of the software being the product.

As an immense e-commerce site, the software enabling all the sales was the key differentiator to the competition.

Then they brought in external sellers, making the e-commerce platform more directly a product.

Then of course they started selling the infrastructure directly as a product, as AWS. Which of course relies on software to automate the provisioning, operation, and monitoring of those computing resources.

That’s what I meant mostly. Though if I’m being honest, I’m not familiar with the implementation of either language’s type system.

The meaningful changes we would need to ensure a healthy future are way, way harder than getting used to electric vehicles. The fact we cannot even do such a straightforward transition is beyond ridiculous.

It emphasizes that you will only notice there's something dangerous around after you are already blind.

It's a very well worded warning, that spread because it's effective. The official warning saying that you must take precautions even if you don't see anything wrong just doesn't work well.
That and it is a very cushy job that is very compatible with their experience
This is predicated on viable options being present and available to consumers. In a lot of cases, for a lot of products, the options offered are a curated selection by the dominant forces, packaged up to appear different, but offering fundamentally very little actual difference.

In this scenario, you can not “vote with your wallet”.
I'm on the same page. The problem in this case was a very hands-free approach to management that suddenly changed to top-down when the chaos produced almost daily outages. So the very relaxed environment now had to somehow have rigorous engineering practices... mandated from the top.

Reminds me of holacracy and how companies picked up the pieces after that fad went away.

True, but by comparison Microsoft BASIC was, for lack of a better word, useless for anything serious.

Plus, don't forget hobbyists would 'borrow' software from each other, you'd get a free (possibly older version) of a compiler with a book...

I think I paid $69 for Turbo Pascal (spent all my birthday money in 1992), previous to that I had an old version of Microsoft Quick Pascal that was only $14.95 from Surplus Software. As well as Turbo C 1 that came with a book from SAMS publishing.

The friction is very different.

If you own the vehicle and it breaks you have to fix it - but most of the time it isn't broken. You need to pay insurance, but that comes in a regular bill, and so is easy to budget. In return for this you get a vehicle ready to use when you want to.

If you don't own the vehicle and need one there is a lot more friction: you need to figure out where to get a vehicle. More than once I've gone to get one and found they were sold out and so I couldn't rent when I needed one. More than once I've gone to get one and discovered the fine print didn't let me use it for what I wanted.
I played this for hours last night, I'm going to need to block it :) Set myself a target of 2048 for nostalgic reasons, turns out it takes a long time (for me anyway).

You're right about the dictionary, actually the whole time I kept wondering about how annoying it must have been to choose a dictionary for this game. Even though not accidentally making non-obscure words without noticing is part of the challenge, accidentally making obscure words is annoying!

Maybe I just don't know enough words - but looking through my game log, I was annoyed by "cony", "smit", "huic", "yipe", "nome", "torii", "agon", "mairs", "imido" and "sial", some of which don't display a definition when you click them, but all of which appear in all the scrabble dictionaries referenced on the website you just linked. Meanwhile I was sad to discover vape is so far only in one scrabble dictionary :) And annoyed to discover "oxalic", which is also in all the dictionaries on that site, was not accepted.

I guess there's a spectrum between "advanced scrabble player level vocabulary" and "fun word game", because I imagine (and suspect you have probably had feedback along these lines) _not_ allowing a word which is obscure but still unambiguously used in the modern era would be worse UX overall - the sort that's more likely to make you rage-quit.

I can see why you'd try to get a bit of wordle-esque shareability out of the daily mode even though I like the classic mode more myself. But I think the tutorial popup isn't as comprehensive as it needs to be for someone's first game to be fun. The first time I clicked the link I did an abysmal job at the daily challenge, I think it wasn't obvious that swaps didn't need to be neighbouring like the given example. Something that might be better is to make an interactive tutorial for first-time visitors - come up with a 5x5 board that is quickly solved and demonstrates several strategies and then walk the player through clearing it. I also think the help popup being one click away would be useful.

I would also have liked the help popup to let me know that progress is saved if you close the page, I ended up checking in an incognito window because I had no time to keep playing but wanted to come back and try to reach the target I'd set myself another time!

Anyway - criticism and suggestions aside - well done, it is a fun game and concept!
This code is only fast in the 'happy' case (ie. ~400 unique places, with no odd distributions, temperatures with a std dev of 10 from a mean between 0 and 40). It is still correct in the 'unusual' cases, but would be slow because it would revert to fallback code.

Don't get stuck in code optimising it.
Typically the few ms you gain using a hash Vs an if/else is negligible to the read/write operation over a network or db that you may also have.
Optimise those instead with a cache and/or CQRS.

Scala is the problem here. Scala has several issues filed for slow compilation.

I'm in Norway, so that probably skews my perception a bit. I'd say it's almost more common than not to have some vacation home in the family, and 4 weeks of paid holiday is the legally mandated minimum.
Google committed to removing support for cross-site tracking (which here is being confusingly called "cookies") because other browsers were implementing it as a privacy measure. They've taken a long time to do it because they made a somewhat impractical promise to remove cross-site tracking while maintaining its economic benefits via new privacy-preserving APIs (PrivacySandbox). For example, see https://developers.google.com/privacy-sandbox/relevance/prot...

Eh, this event in Skåne is atypical.

> My grandparents will endlessly complain about the lack of good quality products on the market (knives, power tools, clothing) but at the same time refuse to engage in locally-made albeit more expensive merchants.

Not to say that they don't have valid complaints, but some of this is definitely selection bias. People don't complain about the things that have gotten better. For example, today, it's not rare for a car to last 10 years without serious issues. There are a bunch of car owners who have driven cars to 1 million+ miles and these aren't some specialty car, but rather the run-of-the-mill cars coming off of factory lines.

There's lots of good knives out there at price points that many people can afford. I personally own a Global 3 knife set (chef, paring, utility) that meets 99% of my cutting needs and cost $130. I've had them for 9 years and I expect them to last at least another 10 years. $130 is expensive, but not over a 20-30 year period. Same thing with my pots and pans (all-clad) which I expect to last me another 20-30 years, if not the rest of my life.

My iPhone is 3 years old. It has been dropped more times than I can count, but still looks new. The glass on it is simply better quality than what existed before. No, it won't last a lifetime, but it will last an acceptable amount of time for something that gets as much use as it does.

And with the internet, quality goods are more accessible than ever. With a few clicks, I have buy pens and paper from Japan, cooking-ware from France and Panama hats from Cuenca, even if I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

That said, my biggest complaint is with appliances. Good appliances exist (e.g. Miele, Speed Queen), but in general, there's little correlation between price and quality. You can buy an LG fridge for $1500 or for $4500, but they use the same crappy compressor, so the more expensive one won't last any longer (and in fact will probably break sooner because it has more features on it that can break).
I live in a condo. We have four charging ports and about a dozen EV owners.

Unless I'm hyper-focused on something, I'm lazy. On the off chance I get lucky and get a charging port, I'm not going to remember to go out in two hours or whatever to move it for someone else to use. I'd probably be getting angry emails for sitting in the charging port for days at a time.

Moreover, I frequently catch myself near empty on the tank. I like that I can find a gas station anywhere and fix the situation almost immediately. I had to sit and wait on a friend's charging once, and it's not something I look forward to.

The whole usage pattern around EVs frankly scares me.
Industrial farming is the required feedstock for industrial food production, which is optimized primarily for shelf life and near-addictiveness.

The "you can't eat just one" advert line is a real goal of the food developers. The requirement for long shelf life causes inclusion of unhealthy chemicals,e.g., high amounts of Omega-6 oils (linked to cardio issues, inflammation, etc.) instead of Omega-3s, which should have a far higher ratio vs Omega-6s in a healthy diet.
