It helps reduce the number of hoops I have to jump through. Previously : hit a problem, use Google search or read the official docs, StackOverflow, etc; Now : ask Copilot and assess if the solution makes sense to me. Often, it does.

Ctrl+F "copilot". Nothing. My only request for these tool-makers is: don't be shy. Tell me why I will stop paying for GitHub Copilot and pay for your tool. Make me sign up ASAP for a trial. Please don't pretend Copilot d

I suspect a larger theme at play, whether it be the universally disliked flat UI design that permeates all platforms or how company logo fonts are all converging to a bland sans serif [1], is that UX designers are not only disconnected from

Why, Sir, I have seen people whose entire jobs live inside this box called a "computer". Peculiar, to say the least.

GitHub Copilot obviates the need for these platforms, in my humble opinion. You don't need "low-code", you want "low-effort coding". You want something quick and dirty that does 80% of the work.

I'd reply to you but my caste only talks to DisplayPort, USB-C, or higher. HDMI cable, pfft... It's a joke, people, based on our friend's username.

I've been trying to teach my daughter (11 years old) Python and she gets quite confused by the whitespace-as-indent construct. For example, it's not at all obvious when a block ends and you have to unindent / go back to a les

The NoSQL movement was absolutely acrid towards SQL. The blowback is justified, IMHO. "blending my firstborn for margaritas" is very colorful language, woah :-)

Don't choose hamster-wheel career tracks in the first place. Try to find Lindy paths [1], [2]. For example, SQL experts and DBAs. The rise and (mostly) demise of NoSQL actually cemented SQL's reputation as an irreplaceable technol

An absolute must-have for me is an AHK script I use to clear the clipboard 15 seconds after something is copied to it. I developed it after a colleague pasted in chat, "Let's call it $xxxK and call it a fair deal" (with actua

Both faced racism and turned to physical training as a way of overcoming it. Both had a belief and practice around "mind over matter". Both consider themselves philosophers to an extent.

I've always liked this one, "My sun sign is Xoltran". "There's no such sun sign!". "Hey, the others are all made up, too, so why not my own? ;-)"

I've always held this conjecture that Jeet Kune do (JK do, so to speak) was actually a nod to JK, Jiddu Krishnamurthi, whose writings deeply influenced Bruce Lee while being bedridden in hospital for many months. He was the David Goggi

Very interesting. Not the intent of the article, but it shows the power of positive thinking, affirmations, visualization et al. Silencing the inner critic seems to be the common theme.

True. I shouldn't have used a universal qualifier. I should have, "all the data possible (that one corporation can get it's hands on)" or something qualified.

Yes! It was distrust towards Microsoft that kept .NET from growing to be a universal language and kept Java in the game, to be honest. The language / framework, per se, is to be celebrated as a great leap forward borne out of the good

C# .NET had async and await in 2012, for comparison. I've always loved Java but Microsoft deserves immense credit for raising the bar, and so quickly, too.

Consumers lost $5.2 billion to phishing last year. This technology may not fool you, but there are enough folks who will be fooled by the basic conversational skills it has. Scammers can be 10x "productive" with this tech.
