I've been using Copilot in VS Code and it's been surprisingly useful. It makes suggestions pretty rarely, but when it does I accept about 50% of them. Generally these are few-line functions and it just gives me what I would have

(caveat: I've read a bit about Ada but don't have any deep familiarity with it) Ada is safe compared to the other languages of its day, but I'm not sure it compares favorably with Rust. IIRC it does have more of a focus on s

That definition is too narrow. How about this one: can someone work for 1 year and (consistently) produce 10x more value for their organization than the median engineer? This seems transparently true if you've worked in any large or

Really nice work! I'm curious why you used two layers of drywall - I've only ever used one layer.

Fair enough: I did work there, though never on ads, and it's been a few years. To be clear, I realize the privacy tradeoffs are probably unacceptable and I'm not seriously proposing the FB panopticon. But I do think it's an

My Facebook ads are well targeted: I've bought tickets to a book signing for my daughter's favorite author, and awesome map, a couch (!!), and a great pair of underwear off fb ads. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm

Not sure what to say, but this is how it works on all the large systems I'm familiar with. Image you have two servers, each with two 1TB disks (4TB physical storage). And you have two distinct services with 1TB datasets, and want some

In software you would never do a postmortem without understanding the root cause of the incident. If this was caused by a lab leak, or even gain-of-function research, that seems like a pretty important detail.

Your comment is written as if immigrants are a homogeneous group, all identical to each other. That seems like a far more pernicious view than suggesting that they might differ (in positive ways, no less!) from natives.

It would be nice if they included the upper bound of the genetic component from twin studies. Without that it's hard to say whether the 8-25% they found here is as much as we'll get, or if large studies are needed. It would be pr

Of course "It depends", but in my experience that kind of thing is rare. Either you're passing in str and can just grab the char* out of the existing PyObject, or you have some more complicated thing that was wrapped once in

In a language like Java where you mostly spend time in the VM and only occasionally jump into native code, that might be true. But in python a huge part of the runtime is this kind of native call. So I would not expect that this approach
