Frankly, that's a win IMHO

I use brave which has a "Brave shield" that disables GTM from loading altogether by default. Would that solve this issue?

I have around 10 airtags installed in various places. The amount of peace and anxiety relief it brings me is priceless.

And none of these problems are airtag specific. You can buy fairly accurate GPS trackers for about $30 that don't even have the android scan feature.

Well...when you put it like that...

Takes me back to the hay days ning.com days!

THIS! So well put, especially the functional separation aspect.

Very unlikely! That'll be enough motivation for most OSS projects to move far far away!

This is actually one of the most honest takes on the UK/Europe vs US undergrad formats.

It can still do that. Write a small comment before writing CSS and see it go!

The only drawback is....constraints. Autocomplete constrains suggestions to those that are valid or at least valid-adjacent (like it'll use something but auto-import it to make it valid, etc). Copilot fails miserably here and I don't yet see it improving anytime soon. Maybe it will, and if it does, it'll be great. But I won't hold my breath for it.

It's not so much the parts where think hard and implement that perfect feature. It's insanely useful when you have to make sweeping pesky changes.

Like a pulling values from a config dict and initializing a bunch of methods from the class? Or setting up a testcase similar to the one you already have, but with different values? Or cleaning values from a form? It's not a bulk edit. But it's also not thoughtful code-writing. It's monotonous and mundane. And lots of people do a lot of this on a daily basis.

Copilot makes this a cinch.

Considering how reddit filters down to twitter and instagram and other local social networks, followed by local tabloids and so on, it's entirely reasonable to assume that.

I have not. I am not a foundation project maintainer or have had any direct interactions with the foundation. My understanding mostly comes from following the community.

But this is what Rodney Littles is quoted as having said in his interview with The Register

> From Littles' perspective, though, the .NET Foundation is insufficiently independent from Microsoft, does too little to help its member projects, and lacks a strong sense of mission or purpose.

There are strings attached to the new location - the maintainers can (in theory) be kicked out of their own repositories.

Posted a response to this elsewhere in this thread:

Au Contraire. From the bylaws posted publicly so far, it seems, they aren't truly independent of each other.

Microsoft is the "Founding Member" of the .NET Foundation. They are entitled to appoint an Exec. Director (ED) and the board has no say in this matter (The current ED is the person who forced a commit on a member project). The ED's tenure has no expiry other than when Microsoft feels the need to change (or they leave). All other board members are elected for a set term.

Lastly, the ED can block any board resolution; aka, the elected board needs Microsoft's blessing to do literally anything.

> No, national currencies too fail to fit the definition, because people do not "invest" in them with the expectation of gain.

The entire forex trading industry: am I a joke to you?

Is there a point to this...? Or did you just want to crap on GDPR?

Not saying it's good or bad. But just...relevance?

Apple may not make a lot of money from these high quality free/cheap apps from small development shops. But indirectly, that quality content is one of the reasons people buy an iOS device over an Android.

Crippling that is crippling their own bottom line and they know that all too well.

Of web development skillset, maybe. Of software engineering, not even close!

> This is 100% a problem with younger, bootcamp-”educated” devs, in my experience.

I resent this. Not because I'm a bootcamp-"educated" dev. I'm not. But it suggests somehow that devs with CS degrees are somehow better in this aspect. If anything, they're arguably worse (obligatory, not everyone disclaimer).

Unit tests with TONS of assertions, cleaned data from form to ORM object, stuff that look look like you're just through a list and doing the same thing over and over. For these, Copilot is great. I wouldn't trust it to do anything else though.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Things cost money.

Things that don't cost to buy at least as much as they cost to make, are not sustainable by definition and will be riddled with systemic problems like shortage, rationing, etc.

I think the best way to go forward is to start a whole lot more initiatives that are similar to this and have FB shut all of them down, essentially building an anti-trust case against themselves.

Hahaha

This is what Apple's policy USED to sound like. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZmeZyDGkQ0

"...You can't have a backdoor that's only for the good guys. That any back door is something that bad guys can exploit."

"No one should have to choose between privacy and security. We should be smart enough to do both."

"You're assuming they're all good guys. You're saying they're good, and it's okay for them to look. But that's not the reality of today."

"If someone can get into data, it's subject to great abuse".

"If there was a way to expose only bad people.. that would be a great thing. But this is not the world. .... It's in everyone's best interest that everybody is blacked out."

"You're making the assumption that the only way to security is to have a back door.....to be able to view this data. And I wouldn't be so quick to make that judgement."

No matter the mental gymnastics now, it's still a pretty drastic departure from what it used to be.

Theoretically, yes. Knowing Gitlab, they're very very close.

I'm open to new perspectives. But here's where I stand so far.

If I learn programming from a book that is copyrighted and use a small snippet (for example, how to do a particular kind of sort) from it in my own program, am I violating a copyright?

Can we all agree that none of these stack up to what the PSP was in it's day?

Not in performance of course. But the form factor and the experience.
