For me - I don’t enjoy it personally.

> Content from your issues, discussions, or private repositories at rest. We use the phrase “at rest” deliberately because Copilot does process code from private repositories when you are actively using Copilot. This interaction data is required to run the service and could be used for model training unless you opt out.

Sounds like it's even likely to train on content from private repositories. This feels like a bit of an overstep to me.

On the documentation, you install the NPM package via Anthropic: https://sprites.dev/api (on this page, if you select Node)

npm install @anthropic-ai/sprites

Is there some relationship between Anthropic and Fly.io that I didn't hear about?

Dang, I just got one and it’s my favorite iPhone I’ve ever had.

Having seen a lot of negativity around it, just want to say that the iPhone Air is the most exciting iPhone to me in a while -- I've been waiting for a big but still light option, but with the top-of-the-line CPU and a decent camera, for a long time. Will be curious to see how it pans out in the market, but I imagine I'm not the only one.

For what it's worth, very happy with React and excited to keep the inertia going. "Good enough" in this case is quite good.

djmashko2 — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 17:50:45 +0000

Looks like a lot of great improvements, but wanted to put in one vote in favor of keeping the capability of having a JavaScript-forward configuration/usage approach, rather than requiring a CSS-forward approach.

For us, one big benefit of using Tailwind has been that we can avoid spending a lot of time thinking about CSS and CSS tooling, and being able to configure everything via JS has helped in that regard.

Very cool to combine documents and tasks in this way! Jumping between Google docs with checklists and tickets in Linear can be a bit of a drag.

Seems like something that will continue unless people vote with their feet and switch to a different platform.

If you’re rendering multiple pages concurrently on the server, it’s nice to be able to know, for example, the current user without having to pass it down as a prop through the whole tree.

Context is a really nice way to do this.

Pretty disappointing to see all of these stories being dropped from the front page.

New comment by djmashko2 in "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2022)"

djmashko2 — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 17:53:47 +0000

Role: Founding engineer, joining two technical founders

Location: New York or USA remote

Flipturn is a funded early stage startup working on increasing adoption of commercial electric vehicles (EVs) -- vans, buses, trucks, etc. The two technical founders are ex-Stripe, Samsara, and Apollo GraphQL, with a track record of delivering products from zero to product-market fit.

We've found that vehicle fleet managers are excited about EVs, but need a lot of help to make it through the whole process of evaluating and buying EVs. A lot of these revolve around planning and simulations, and can be significantly improved with software!

The commercial vehicle industry hasn't been saturated with software tools, and so this is a unique opportunity to work in a very greenfield environment where you can make a big impact on a huge industry -- over 12 million commercial vehicles are sold each year.

If you're interested in a super early stage role an have wanted to contribute to reducing emissions and fighting climate change, this could be the perfect opportunity!

Please email me at sashko@getflipturn.com if you're interested and want to chat.

would this make it possible to install Postgres from NPM for local development? could make it much easier to build/run an app vs. installing Postgres on the machine directly, or running in a Docker container.

FWIW on Mac you can copy-paste a file between devices using the iCloud paste thingy.

There are plenty of uses for Twitter unrelated to debate or discussion. Sharing news, building a community, posting about your day, etc.
