I find copilot better because I don't have to disrupt my flow to "ask" it anything. I start writing code, it suggests something, I hit tab if I like it, move on to the next line. Also, it can read all of my other code (in the

Not sure what you mean by "precisely this sort of person", but a "parvenu" is better thought of as the inverse of a "pariah" -- someone from an outgroup who has achieved special acceptance, status, and celebrat

Isn't `blub` more or less equivalent to `that` or `which`?

Why isn't this a relex? As an interested casual linguistics observer, that's what it looks like to me. Is it just because the nouns are inflected?

Interesting counterexample. I would argue that throwing tantrums when distressed — instead of bottling up anger, frustration, and disappointment — actually enables children to embrace happiness more easily than we do during the non-tantrum

Can you help me understand what you mean here? The author manages to make something match `case NotIterable()` by...modifying the `NotIterable(ABC)` class. That's exactly what I would have expected. What you mean by "one doesn&#x2

The direct ask is "would you be willing to", if that's what you want to know. If the goal is to make sure your food isn't eaten, then "stop!" might work better. If the goal is better understanding of the peop

Fascinating, and I totally hear that. For me, the name is part of what drew me to it in the first place -- the framing that there is a "violence" even in the normal day to day interactions we are all used to was a bit of an "

There is an old Jewish tradition (written down in Pirkei Avot ~1700 years ago) which lists the objects that God created "on the eve of the Sabbath at twilight" after finishing the rest of creation. Most of them are religious or my
