For quick prototyping I really like https://pocketbase.io/

I am actually using this for a production site that gets 1 million requests per day.

From experience no AI solution is consistently making fault free code of any kind when you need more than a snippet.

Personally I have been making Velocity Proxy plugins for Minecraft where ChatGPT generates the bulk of the plugin and I fix all the incorrect imports, this is Java. My latest project was a whitelist plugin that uses Discord roles to allow/deny players to join.

> Everything pre-2022 is definitely written by humans

I'm not sure if methods like article spinning counts as written by humans. This is something you could automate before AI and it would take a human written article and randomly swap words with similar meaning throughout to make it seem original.

I'm not sure how much of the built in JFR a mod for Minecraft called Spark uses but it is a fairly common tool for debugging and visualising lag on modded servers https://spark.lucko.me/

The article mentions that you can get the best gear for free but it will take you about 10 years. So I'm sure you can play it and have fun. If you try PVP however then you would be at a great advantage if you pay money for upgrades.

I disagree with your statement about cryptos biggest use case. However I also want to point out that legal can vary a lot between countries. There is at least one third world country where a woman can't even get an abortion without risking life in prison. If cryptocurrencies can help people who don't have equal rights with more privacy in such situations then I am all for it.

I did something similar on accident. I used to keep all my development work synced with Dropbox and I had a work and a personal account. So any of my own projects would have /Dropbox (Personal)/ in the path which did catch some bugs. Dropbox renamed my folder to "Dropbox (Personal)" automatically when connecting a work account.

It would have taken a little over an hour to walk home and I would have had walking/biking paths and sidewalks most of the way. Close to where I live I would have had to walk on the side of the road but it was very low traffic

I live in a smaller city called Västerås in Sweden and although you will always find problems if you look hard enough. Don’t compare Europe vs US. Compare cities instead and see what they do differently.

In Västerås i lived in the rural outskirts when I was younger and missing the 2am bus meant I had to wait until 6am but I think it only happened once to me.

I also lived in Houston, Texas. I never took the bus because it would take 45 min to walk to the nearest stop. Biking was fun though because I lived near a large reserve but there was always the fear of getting hit by a boar or bit by something poisonous.

In Västerås walking or biking was always easy and felt integrated to the planning of the city. In Houston you had to seek out special areas where it would be nice to walk or ride your bike.

So the point of the article is that chrome users should abandon chrome because it's not getting rid of third party cookies when they said they would?

I think the point is that the text makes it seem like you have something consuming the same amount of power as 3 refrigerators in your pocket.

I used to own cheeseonthemoon.com, it was one of my first websites back in high school and I just goofed off trying to be funny. It's still on archive.org where you can read about my theory (misinformation?) that there is cheese on the moon. There was a forum where me and a few friends would discuss random topics.

I always like to look back at the "Show HN: Dropbox" thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863) and look at the comments like "For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account" :)

I think most engineers try to think more critically than the general population.

New comment by uberswe in "GitHub Copilot is ‘unacceptable and unjust,’ says Free Software Foundation"

uberswe — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 09:59:11 +0000

Copilot is a fancy autocomplete tool for code. I think the controversy comes from it being trained on public repos without adhering to licensing. I used copilot and thought the best part was when it would autocomplete based on other code I was writing. Sometimes the Copilot would help me see places where I had repetitive code which could be turned into a function.

Is GitHub Copilot useful for developers?

So the article mentions an issue reported by dtjm annd the maintainer answers the issue explainig that the keys are fictional. I don't see any statement by the github CEO about this being an issue as the article says.

If you have access, link to the maintainers answer: https://github.com/github/copilot-preview/discussions/45#dis...

The answer references the FAQ which is what I referred to: http://copilot.github.com/#faq-does-github-copilot-ever-outp...
