A while ago GitHub informed me that they would sponsor Copilot for our open source project AlaSQL (a JavaScript SQL database for the client).

I had never really thought much about it. I actively try to ignore the industry push to shove AI into everything. But a few days ago, I somewhat accidentally assigned Copilot to an issue. To my surprise, a nice PR was created shortly after with a spot-on solution and a test file. A one-shot fix!

Impressed, I went to our oldest issue (11 years old). Click. Assigned. Let's see.

After 48 minutes, I was asked to review the PR. It had one-shot fixed an age-old problem with `ORDER BY` across 3+ `UNION` clauses. This involved updating the grammar for the lexical analysis and inserting the right controls to ensure the ordering executed at the right time. Nice.

I immediately went slightly rampant on old (and well-described) issues, and after a combined engagement of 5 hours across 2 days "herding" the AI, the next version of the AlaSQL library was released - fixing issues with a combined age of 109 years, 1 month, and 28 days.

Not bad for guiding an agent for a few hours.

Just use sheets. Like powder, but without inhaling the dust/smell and the slight mess. I like the ones from Lucent Globe.

Just to confirm: did they just release a model with the exact same name as the previous one?

I LOVE IT!

I would love to see a "Playlist per day" so you can listen to the vibe of the city on a particular day and not just one song at a time.

And really nice working making a visual attitude that burns into you memory...

Can we get this for yellow and green?

Can we please call this "htmx 3"? its so much more clear and the branding around htmx is great.

I like it.

Do we have some htmx flavor ability to fetching raw html string and update elements with it?

Sounds like the real complaint here is not about Jira but about people using Jira wrong, because they dont understand how you facilitate a productive environment for the lifecycle of the delivery across product, design, QA and developers of different stacks.

Im about to make the transition for alasql. Any chance you can share a link to a repo you feel did this well?

WASI will blow your mind

Just gonna leave this here: https://theinternetsaysitstrue.com/2022/03/28/13-months-the-...

You cant make code faster. You can only make it do less things.

Can someone explain this to me as if I was 5 years old?

Is it a way to activate and orchestrate workers based on a pub/sub message structure?

I love this project! But I feel like the attention to details in planning the project is not matched with the attention to details when it comes to capturing the essence / energy of the font as the tree progressed. Some examples are "a" for year 3 and "h" for both year 2 and 3 where the font is lacking a lot of the expression that the designer tree is providing.

But very interesting. Thank you for creating this.

When the constriction of the twin towers started in 1968 asbestos was used for insulation.

In April 1970, the New York City Department of Air Resources established asbestos spray insulation regulations. As a result, the Department ordered contractors to stop the use of asbestos in the World Trade Center. The upper levels of the north tower and the entirety of the south tower contained asbestos alternatives.

It's estimated that the north tower contained 300 – 400 tons of asbestos.

The towers had a high amount of asbestos. I am not surprised that we see the effects so many years later.

I really miss my x41

If you don't pick a framework, you will end up building one yourself.

This this is awesome. Thank you for creating Blueboat.

Have you had any thoughts about how much rebuild it would take to support Deno javascript?

The examples did not work in iOS safari.

I want the comments to appear instead of the link!

So - they are finally reviving google reader as a built in part of Crome? Love it!

The consumption is a result of the greed to get the reward (fee + per block coins) and is not related to how the blockchain is operating.

You can see the carbon footprint from different blockchains on https://coincarboncap.com

With the demands for KYC and the legislation for intermediaries handling money this will not end well unless they use a public ledger with private (and not anonymous) chain of signatures that can be audited.

Lets assume they solve all the math challenges with the routing: The on-boarding is still a challenge as it demands one initial on-chain transaction.

If 10% of the current facebook users want to get on lightning and we can make 6 transactions per second it will take 17 months before all are on board - and this is assuming no other types of transactions (so any payment made with BTC will delay this)

This is why the original design focus on fees in great volume to be the main incentive to be a miner and using the block reward as both A) a way of distributing the original minting of coins and B) a transition mechanism until volume is so large that the fees can sustain the miner incentive.

So important info for people who wants to understand our current health crises.

This, and the normalization of frying with plant based oils that denaturalize at those temperature seems to me equivalent to how the romans society was led poisoning themselves because most kitchenware like spoons and pots were made of led.

Thank you for creating this!

Any plans to provide mac downloads in the near future?

The power consumption is a reflection of man's greed - not what is needed to operate bitcoin.

You can get it directly from data stored in the BSV blockchain:
