   I think you're being too hard on him here. It looks to me like both sides fucked up in a number of ways.

   people taking short segments of code that are implementations of common algorithms and claiming those as "copied" by copilot are wrong. it didn't copy, it learned and wrote.

   also, only testing public interfaces is perfectly fine and may actually be preferable as it leaves you free to refactor internals freely without breaking tests. tbh unit testing is a balancing act between reaping code quality benefits and b

   For the first few months of my first job in 1996 people were using dialup internet.... and I spent a lot / most of my time reading documentation from a giant set of manuals that came with the devkit we were using.

   I encountered a case a few years ago where a query failed because the database had been opened read only but it needed to recover a journal. The solution was to just never open the database read only... but this seems less than optimal. Any

   It's not that you cannot use Genetic information to accurately predict certain aspects of someone's future... It's that genetic information tells you nothing about human will, and human will can overcome a lot.

    So, I did this personal project a couple of years ago where I downloaded a big recipe database and then did a bunch of parsing / cleaning code to reduce each recipe down into a list of ingredients... Then I did an analysis of the ingre

    I came up with a clever one recently. So, I had a stream of records of fixed size where I will receive exactly one per second. I needed to keep approximately two weeks of this data. I would also need to be able to query the records by time.

    The guy who dug the water well on my parents land used a dowsing rod. Interestingly, he chose to use the dowsing rod in the lowest point of the meadow... which probably saved him a few feet of drilling.

    For me, a working net positive fusion reactor means a ton. Here are some things you could do with free (or essentially free) clean energy: 1) desalinization to provide water to everyone. 2) massive carbon capture 3) convert the world away f

    I have written a couple of mmap() based time series databases. In my case, these were databases for holding video. For my uses, mmap() has been great. I strongly agree with your comment. Maybe mmap() isn't the greatest, but it has work

    I've been a software engineer for 25 years and I think people overly romanticize this attitude and we should properly fix things more.

    Well, you shouldn't deceive yourself about your goals. I don't think a goal that involves other people is inherently bad. Nothing wrong with wanting to impact the world IMHO. Unless you create a game that has infinite replayabilit

    Here are my side project tips: 1) As the article states, work on your side project first in the morning before your work. You will be too tired after work. Yes, this means your not really giving 100% at work. Hopefully your good enough at y
