I don't want to stop copilot. I put my code publicly on the internet precisely so people can use it, and not just as a user either, they can repurpose it, incorporate it into their software, whatever they want to do. It's called f

I don't quite buy this. "There will always be bugs" is a truism, along the lines of "all code bases will have to be maintained forever." But that's just not true, code can be done. I think it's really a pr

Sure you get a voice. We can have a discussion. But the point being made above is that we need someone's respect, someone's consensus, someone's approval to do what we are doing. And to that I say if you don't like wha

I take it seriously. You don't. That's the thing about this stuff: it's voluntary. That's the point the above commenters are trying to make. We don't need a consensus of you all to do what we want, and if you don&#x

That's one take, I for one am a bit more optimistic. I think we can disempower the scary men with guns quite a bit if we take their feet out from under them.

The whole point of this experiment is not to create an environment where law can be skirted, but to create a new type of environment where the law cannot be violated at all, by anyone. And of course it will attract lawbreakers, we need them

This is some paper thin armor you're hiding behind. Everyone knows how the game is played. Turn on your VPN and you're in. There is no real attempt to stop Americans from buying. Again, this is the wild west. Rules for the and not

I agree 100%, those of us that embrace the crypto markets wanted a wild west. you don't get to have a wild west only on the upswing and go crying for stability when the bullets start flying in the street. Either you want it or you don&

I find the UI quite pleasing and a breath of fresh air. Too many sites these days are mostly dead space. This is real busy, I'd check this every day if I cared about news.

I juggle things too, I think we all do. I've found nothing motivates me to finish something like the prospect of being able to use it myself. If it will make my life better I'll work on it til it's done. Now, I don't bui

I use Helix (very much like vim) and a lot of applications that use keyboard focused vim-like UX, and the only advice I have is to keep using it. It's like playing an instrument, eventually your mind just makes your will a reality thro

We aren't complaining about cool new features that the normies like though. We are complaining about the fact that some of us have gigabit per second bandwidth and still need multiple seconds to load and render a page. We are complaini

It's easy to hire anywhere. But is it easy to get hired? How much rigmarole does a company put you through to ensure they're not going to get stuck with dead weight? I'm guessing quite a bit, and the harder it is to fire yo

In a civil case it is not a jury's duty to teach anyone a lesson, it is their duty to assess and award restitution for noncriminal wrongdoing, nothing more.

OK, sure, he's a fuckhead. He's a dumbass, he's a clown, he's not a smart man. He is an asshole. But a billion dollars. A billion dollar judgment. You don't think they're rubbing his face in it a little? Teac

I have SMS, right, you kind of have to have a phone number, but to me it's legacy support, I pay for the mobile data. I'll do SMS as a sort of fallback. The people you want to send you SMS like companies that need your phone numbe

That makes it even worse. Defraud or harm the entire country and you pay less than defaming a handful of people. He deserves to pay them for causing them trouble for his own gain, but if this isn't a political example I don't know

I'm not a fan of the guy, I think he's a two bit boner pill salesman, but I find it interesting, this is much higher than most SEC, FTC and FCC fines of big multinationals. Even bigger ones, like Purdue pharma, paid over 5 billion

This "I don't want another app" thing is senseless to me. Why? What does it hurt having more than one communication channel? In my experience people that say this generally have no space on their phone, usually because of an

I use a default SMS application for SMS anyway, it changes nothing for me. Now, if signal could get rid of the phone number requirement...

I find myself using TUIs a lot more because GUIs are always mouse centric. The GUI paradigm is stuck in the 20th century IMO. I'd like GUI applications that were easy to use with more than one finger, but it seems that nobody can figur

I already use this as my daily driver for everything, especially writing code. Have been using it for a few months. It gets better with every release. I love it. It's got a few quirks. Trying to navigate while in insert mode (I know ba

You have to have files on your system anyway to work on or use the files. How is it any worse to have it pinned? And if everyone working on a project keeps a copy of the canonical branch there's no central place you'd need to look

IPFS never promised anyone they could just put their stuff out there and have it last forever. That's equivalent to free energy. That's the pitch for Filecoin, but not IPFS. And as far as centralization, you've got a Pareto d

It works great even in that case, at the fundamental level it makes sense for content to be accessed in such a manner and then indexed on too of that by name.

I would absolutely love an IPFS based version control system, something superficially (or more) resembling fossil would be amazing. I think it's probably one of the best applications for IPFS, since a lot of the core data structures an

I read that article, and your introduction on learning quantum mechanics is actually how I learned quantum mechanics! Or at least, about the known quantum particles in the standard model and their properties and behavior. This is how I lear

I'd love to see a trilogy like combination of all the games. I would say my favorite gameplay of all the games is MK2, but my favorite characters and move sets are all from UMK3.

Teachers are overpaid and mostly pretty stupid. School boards are bureaucracies that prioritize student learning somewhere near the bottom of the list. What do you expect?
