Uh...that already happens and AI isn't event required

I've been playing with Copilot as well.

It's very good at handling boilerplate and making contextual suggestions.

I don't see it eating my cake, but it's definitely a very useful tool for saving time.

Whether it will have that many users in a few months is anyone's guess.

This feels kinda like the flappy bird craze, albeit a little less silly...

Isn't the Pixel fairly well supported in terms of custom ROMs which in turn unlock access to more recent security updates?

I gave up on NixOS years ago.

It doesn't matter how many nice ideas you have, even revolutionary ones, when the core experience is just such a giant PITA.

It boggles my mind people use Node for this.

Thank you for your heartwarming tale, it made my day

I'm not sure having a million OSes is necessarily better than having a handful...

You should try reading the self-authored "paper" the author of that op-ed linked to from said op-ed.

It's...not great.

Buy more keys, configure them as dupes and store somewhere secure but accessible given a day or so?

Right...I get where you're coming from but I think where you're coming from is indicative of the why things changed.

It's neat old Mac's from the 80s could to do that...but they had to be able to do that in order to be useful. In other words, it wasn't a "cool feature", it was something they had to be able to do.

I imagine that when storage became more plentiful OS developers became less interested in implementing solutions to problems of this nature and who can blame them really. Supporting a use-case that almost no one cares about anymore is rather unrewarding.

As others have mentioned, there are plenty of ways to achieve this on Linux today, they just seem to involve more fiddling than you'd like. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the beast.

Linux is a tinkerers OS (that just happened to become popular for servers) and expecting it to change its stripes is asking a lot :-)

They may not be bad people, but their GUI framework is pretty bad.

How hard do we have to hit it to drain the battery ;-)

So, just switch to Vivaldi. Same renderer and JS engine as Chrome but the devs have drawn a line in the sand about stuff like manifest v3:

Web services is a rather different kettle of fish from their consumer items side, so your comment is rather inane.

Since moral standards vary a lot across cultures and time, statements like your last line have dubious longevity.

Even when it comes to unpleasant people like Moldbug I try to avoid talk of moral standards beyond the really clear-cut ones...

Well, as the saying goes...it takes one to know one ;-)

Turns out asshole can make good software!

It's almost as though software development skills aren't correlated with social skills...

I'm sure all the advertisers will be very happy when their ads for garbage content get downvoted.

I work at a company that does DERMS projects in this space (peak shaving, load balancing, power factor optimization, voltage support, etc, etc).

It's not that no one talks about this stuff, it's just that it's as with all things in the utility space projects take time and a lot of the work being done is still exploratory.

No one I work with seems to think this stuff is a magic bullet either, just part of the solution (of which nuclear is another important part).

I should also note that these DERMS projects are very software reliant and I think all of us here on HN know quite well that reliability can be an issue in the software space...

> It forces you to stay low fidelity. Because everything is rendered with rough.js (I think...), objects look sloppy and hand-drawn

Um...what?

Frankly, stuff that looks like this just annoys me.

The future of cargo cults is now!

The smaller the company you work for, the less likely there is to be nasty shit going on you're not aware of...

Stupid question

Sounds like similar reasons why I enjoy Scala.

It feels like Python, but with a proper type system :-)

They just bundled the timezone database in with the language. It's not particularly groundbreaking...

You gained the suffering of dealing with split-brains in Consul and Vault ;-)

Rust is on my list of things to look at one day, but I'm still on the Scala train for now ;-)

It's weird how the more I work with Python, the less I want to work with Python.

I moved into the language full-time in 2010 and it's now 2021.

The packaging ecosystem is still a burning dumpster fire, the performance is still hot garbage and the whole approach to asyncio makes me want to bang my head against a wall.

Tthe latest additions in Python 3.10 have me shaking my head. I love pattern matching (Yes, Scala fanboy detected) but shoving them into Python just seems....poorly thought out.

I really hope to move away from the language in the long-term because I feel like it's a bad thing when I would rather work in Java or C++ than Python. For me it feels like Java and C++ took a look at themselves at the end of the 2000s and said "Okay, we need to sort something out, what we're doing now is not winning any hearts" while Python did also did some introspection and decided "Meh, let's just keep throwing mud at the wall until something sticks". It's one of the few languages I've worked with which seems to be actively getting worse every year, which is kinda sad :-/

MTG is kind the original lootbox, but I guess at least there is a reasonably good game behind it.

I dumped my MTG in the early 2000s, these days I'll only buy into a card game using the LCG/ECG model. It's not necessarily cheaper but it is less scummy.
