Staff Engineer
I currently prefer GitHub Copilot Pro to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode for my current role and codebase. Staff Engineer in a midsized professional engineering organization. Using Agent mode with latest OpenAI and Anthropic models. Backend TypeScript maintaining established codebases. Not being constrained by management. It’s not a perfect tool but it has advanced significantly since early releases.
Yes. It’s kind of like giving power of attorney to Jeffery Epstein.
It seems to have cascaded from AWS Kinesis...

I'm in a similar situation. I've found myself with a job I love, working remotely, which has afforded me the opportunity to move back to the small rural (unfortunately very much bible-belt) town where I was born and have roots. I enjoy most aspects of small town living, being with family and old friends, low cost of living, etc.
However there is near zero startup/tech culture to be found (duh). My idealistic streak would like to change that somehow ("forty acres and a emacs MULE"), but that's unlikely.
Anyone in AR, feel free to message me to geek out.
Hit <space> to advance slides. I was also confused when scrolling only showed me three.
Have you looked at AWS Redshift? It is somewhat analogous to BigQuery.
FTC just released a related report: http://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/reports/data-broke...
I get this error when trying to create a meeting (Chrome/Ubuntu). I was never prompted with a Accept/Deny dialog, so I'm guessing the meeting features just don't work on Linux?:
Oops, looks like you clicked Deny.
You need to enable peer assist and your webcam to participate in the meeting.
Wouldn't it be great if I could just click on a file system object (like a drive in the file browser) and view a diagram of concentric circles for registers, cache, ram, io layer (disk buffers/caches), and finally the actual physical device.
The size of each circle would be relative to the avg. amount of time needed to move data to the CPU. To me this would be more intuitive than charting system data.
I like the idea, but what version of Python is supported? It seems that some operations are not supported. On the first challenge it didn't like the `sorted` built-in or allow iteration over a str object. I ended up solving the challenge, but in a way that I would never use in real application, i.e., not idiomatic Python. It should be clearer what language features are allowed.
