Copilot doesn't link to the sources. It doesn't really know what their sources are. It links to article that may be related to what it just said. Many times the sources even contradict what was said. So definitely not a source in

I think saying it links its sources is a bit of a stretch. It links related articles which may or may not be the source for what it just said (also, may or may not be related :P)

Sounds a bit different than what Google is offering. Google’s look more like imoo. Which is just a standalone device made for kids. So kids can pair their devices and use the restricted set of images (emoji-like but more restricted) and fea

In the US everyone used AIM, in Brazil everyone used MSN. Never met anyone using yahoo. ICQ was big before that (mid-90s).

Fair enough. All node_modules I've worked with this far has been huge. Including everything is definitely not an option.

Very few websites have optimised their assets and number of connections enough that the size of the code is the bottleneck. Moreover, code tends to be highly compressible. I doubt it really saves much bandwidth. All javascript build systems

If they do things at different times, then they effectively live in a different timezone, but with the downside that’s much harder to know when it is that they are going to do things. With time zones you know that businesses will work rough

Even pip install allowing arbitrary code-execution is non-obvious, although perhaps not entirely broken.

I tend to think you're in more meetings when you WFH and they last longer. Mostly because they are inefficient. But also because people don't get to overhear what you said with someone else and end up eventually calling you on som

Sending a message to someone close to you is fine. There are several reasons to do that. What's bad about remote work for me is that it's the only option.

Yeah, Amazon is big enough that they could have a full stack group of employees always in the office and another one always remote. Almost like two companies. That's not the reality of most places though. Usually one has to pick.

Work is part of social life. Your whole social life doesn't have to revolve around your best friend or wife or whatever people you chose. Living and socialising with people you didn't choose is important.

I don't think hybrid is really accomodating to people who wants to be in the office. The main point in being in the office is to have all your colleagues around with you. My current place is hybrid, but thankfully my team is mostly alw
