GitHub Copilot 5 years ago

It's a copilot. You're still the pilot. To be honest this seems like it can definitely save me a bunch of googling and let me stay in the ide.

How do you keep track of which plants you have? Do you just wait for them to flower/fruit?

Is Rust web yet? 6 years ago

I used wasm for a computer vision related feature we built at work. It allowed us to reuse a bunch of things from opencv without having to reimplement those things in JS.

Interesting. I'm curious what machine spec you're on. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on an dell laptop (XPS 7590 with an i9 processor, 32gb ram, discrete Nvidia graphics card).

I see my processor spin up to 90% utilization whenever I do a zoom call.

The OP is talking about Android becoming closed "source". Not about it becoming a closed ecosystem.

Bluetooth in general isn't a hassle. Bluetooth audio is a little bit of a hassle in the sense that there's a workaround that you have to do.

Guess which ones often have problems joining zoom meetings

As a linux user, I'd like to say that I've seen that happen just as often with OSX users on my team. I think that's just Zoom's shitty app. But I do agree about peripheral hardware issues plaguing Linux. Bluetooth headphones are still such a hassle on Ubuntu 20.04.

That it exists at all, as a democracy, is due to the immense efforts of the British....Indian citizens should be grateful to all of the above groups of people who have given them democracy as it is today

What? Are you serious with this line of thought that Indians should be grateful to the British for democracy? I'd like to quote Shashi Tharoor's arguments here from an Oxford Union debate [0] -

It's a bit rich to oppress, enslave, kill, torture, maim people for 200 years and then celebrate the fact that they're democratic at the end of it. We were denied democracy sir! We had to snatch it, seize it from you! With the greatest of reluctance it was conceded.

I agree wholeheartedly. In my opinion, UPI has been an unmitigated success. Nearly everyone from a roadside street-food vendor to a 5 star hotel accepts UPI and it makes the whole flow of day-to-day payments entirely contactless which is especially useful with the COVID-19 situation.

Now if only they could introduce some way to enable subscription payments, it'd be the cherry on top.

We have a bunch of services which orchestrate long running workflows so temporal is quite interesting to me. I've been lurking in the temporal slack for a while (and before that in the cadence slack).

Would be interested to know what kinds of things you're using it for/what scale/which language client?

My experience with zoom has been on linux.

I hate the fact that it requires you to install the client for it to work.

The client randomly spikes in cpu usage while running in the background. Multiple times I've also had this issue where I'll try to right click the zoom icon in the system tray and quit zoom, causing it to hang and reach 100% cpu usage on one core.

I also don't like that on clicking on a zoom video call link sometimes the browser to client redirect works but sometimes it doesn't and you need to then go back and click the link again.

For me, Google meet works much better.

As someone who studied in the US on an F1 visa, I can tell you that this rule has always been in place. The F1 visa was always extremely restrictive whether it was regarding minimum number of in person credits or regarding allowing students to work part time.

It seems especially cruel that they'd choose to enforce the rule at a time like this.

Using inspect, I did two things -

  - removed all the rounded edges
  - added lines dividing the rows in the files table
It looks way better with these two things in my opinion. Maybe someone can create a browser extension which does these things.

I'm happy to report that I was able to download the zip file and run the executable on my Ubuntu box with Wine. It was quite surreal to see Netscape installer running on my 4k monitor. I was even able to open the browser and navigate to Google.

Sadly https://www.dinostomatopie.com/ and http://www.dinostomatopie.com/ failed to open with a message saying "Netscape and this server cannot communicate securely because they have no common encryption algorithm(s)".
