What if that data isn’t publicly posted? For example, copilot regurgitating code from private repos, complete with comments.

Inserting the LLM into the process exponentially increases the energy expenditure, and it may be confidently wrong in its analysis of the results. What is the upside? Do you just want a chat interface on everything?

Using a 1 pound coin is basically saying “it costs a pound to take this and not bring it back.” It works for lazy returners, but makes blatant theft quite easy.

It might depend a little on the poker variant. Holdem (the most popular variant) uses shared cards, which gives you a fair amount of information.

Local storage is a poor example because it updates in the background and wouldn’t necessarily change your UI much. But if a design calls for a search to be made while a user types that would get janky fast. React in particular is data drive

For the kind of behaviors they are describing it would. An extra 250ms waiting for an app to load is a lot, but for something like the described autosave behavior, waiting for a 250ms pause in typing before autosaving or making a fetch call

I’d go further and say that writing code for a living requires a great deal of self-teaching regardless of your background. CS degrees typically don’t teach you how to build software, and even if they did, the problem space is huge. There i

what you’re saying is on par as “kids can’t learn as well typing their work as they do with a pen and paper” or “video games bad”. I’m not saying I disagree with the idea that an AI can’t replace a real human connection, but it’s more compl

I've been using Typescript for years and while I love it, it's far from the magic bullet. No, you'd need something more opinionated and actually typesafe, and now you're writing a different language that compiles to JS.

The issues with useEffect come from a misunderstanding of how data is meant to flow in react, the fundamental concept on which the whole thing is based. It’s not complicated at all.

I was at a hotel recently with packaged snacks on a tray, cookies crackers etc. There was a sign clearly explaining that moving anything off the tray results in an automatic charge. Thank god we didn’t have the kids with us.
