I've always advocated for smaller atomic refactors.

...oh. Never mind.

When it's down to brass tacks, the most common GitHub action, actions/checkout, is not taking contributions due to "focus [...] on strategic areas" [0] despite having years-old issues - here's one[1] that soon celebrates its sixth birthday, despite having an available PR!

Geez. This would've been much more agreeable had they bothered to fix years-old open bugs with self-hosted runners

Am I the only one underwhelmed by Claude Code (which most comments here claim is better than Codex)?

Anecdotal experience: asked it to change instances of a C++ class Foo to a compatible one Bar, it did that but failed to add the required include where it made the change.

Yes, I'm sure that with enough prompting/hand-holding it could do this fine. Is it too much to expect basics like this out of the box, though? If so, then I, for one, still can't relate to the current level of enthusiasm.

...and, IIRC, desparately grasping for generated ammo to pick up while making said retreat.

Good to know.

Of course, I did have to google how to quit easy vim.

Not true. For example we could be surrounded by a sphere of uniform infinite density, in which case our atoms wouldn't be pulled in either direction.

https://github.com/Peaker/git-mediate is an amazing secret weapon for making quick work of 3-way conflict resolution.

That's taking it to extreme, though. It's possible that a large number of medium companies, for instance, would have the same open source yield as the megacorps who just bought them out (in our reality). Especially if it were easier for them to attract more talented engineers, which would be the case if the big companies had less of a grip on the existing market (e.g. if Meta were forced to split up, as regulators push for)

By "techwashing" I mean using some of the money a company makes in its main business (which in the case of Meta and some other corporates has a bad impact on society) to make a positive technical contribution to the public , thus helping existing and prospective employees work there with less of a guilty conscience.

Similar, to e.g. a pharmaceutical company raising the price of a medicine excessively, but then donating some of the money to build a hospital.

It's just that in the case of tech companies, the reputation washing is done via technical contributions.

Of course, but you don't know either. So your argument that these (or equivalent) contributions wouldn't exist without the megacorps doesn't hold.

> corporate funding of all the open-source projects that wouldn't exist without the megacorps

This is a fallacy: It's possible comparable open source contributions could have been made without the graces of the corporates.

For example: The giants tend to buy out their competition early, so how could it mature enough to be able to contribute comparably, or possibly better, to open source?

IMHO the open source contributions of these companies are a form of tech-washing, regardless of the honest and best intentions of their employees.

Not a large company, but we did choose Svelte and are actively seeking hiring someone experienced with it.

This one worked for me: https://dnshistory.org/

How about extending this feature to automatically add in the required licenses for the sources of Copilot-generated code?

I'm shaking, I'm shaking

Thank you on behalf of my RSI.

Yes.

Not sure why you were downvoted.

Protonmail stores all your emails encrypted, with the encryption dependent on your password, so something like this couldn't happen there.

I hope I'm not the only one who read the title as adding some helpful text to the exception for n00bs, which explains about the very concept of null.

Can’t wait to try it out on my desktop.

On my mobile (iPhone), I get clicks and other artifacts on playback, which increase when scrolling the view, which I guess indicates samples not being generated fast enough.
