Are you just looking at the total number of fires in Figure 1? Figure 2 shows that annual wildfire-burned area has been increasing in the last 40 years. Figures 3, 6 and 7 also back that up.

I wonder if copilot would have produced better code if the user had used /usr/bin/env instead. If you already have buggy code, will copilot also suggest buggy code?

by cbsks 5y ago
You are right! I missed that. The number of bugs to lines of code ratio is approaching one.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with bash, just the ‘find’ posix utility. But I agree that the arguments not intuitive.

I don't think we need to start looking for new career paths yet. This example has a few bugs and it took me longer to track them down than it would have to write it myself: #!/bin/bash # List all python source files whi

In addition to this silly page, this website has a bunch of really cool technical details on weather prediction! I know nothing about weather forecasting, but I've enjoyed reading some random articles on it. Here's an interesting

I have a cheap LUXE Neo bidet at home. It is one of the reasons why I am not looking forward to returning to the office. Wiping your poopy butt with your hand is for suckers.

Previously discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26898266 If a company promises more than they can deliver, is it a scam? What if they believe that they actually can deliver it?

What companies do you know that do that (besides Tesla, apparently)?

by cbsks 5y ago
Yeah, that doesn’t match my expectation at all. Does that commenter think that you should always have multiple job offers before giving notice to your current job?

You are right. After service costs, the company behind Nebula (Standard) gets 50% of the revenue, and the creators split the other 50% of the revenue based on watch time. I suppose that I should start using the app. https://nebul

I have a Nebula subscription because I want to support some of the content creators on it, but the app is so slow and buggy I usually just watch on YouTube instead. It’s a shame because I really want to support what they are doing but YouTu

FYI, "fat tire" generally refers to tires that are at least 3.75in wide. Your bike doesn't quite qualify for that :) That bike looks nice! I am in the process of building a similar looking gravel bike, but with a titanium fra

I just got a new Motorola MB8600 modem which is on their list. I swapped modems, called support and gave them the model and MAC address. It took about 10 minutes total. Very painless.

I recently finished Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. I highly recommend it, even if you aren’t usually into westerns. I saw it recommended a few weeks ago here on HN and bought it on my Kindle, then kept reading until it was done (stopping

Just because Thermoworks isn’t the original manufacturer of Thermapens doesn’t make their claims any less valid. They are presumably authorized to use the Thermapen trademark in the US, and are right to be angry at Amazon for allowing count
