I use copilot on a daily basis for programming. It has made me much more productive and it’s a real pleasure to use it. Nothing overhyped about it.

Curious to see what it will bring for other domains, e.g. for dealing with emails.

I do agree that there’s a lot of filtering happening. Not a huge deal for more applications. Luckily you can run your own models that are not filtered. I can definitely see a future where you run your own models locally. Afaik Apple recently did some stuff around that.

The name of the function, what goes in and what goes out in most cases should be enough to get a good idea on what the function does.

It also helps to make a diagram of how everything ties together. Just boxes and arrows is enough.

When writing your own code, it takes a bit of experience to know when to put something in its own function. It’s very obvious when you’re replicating code. It’s also very common to cut things up when a function gets too big. Look for bits of functionality that you can give a good name.

With Influx 3 the preferred language is gonna be their SQL dialect. Flux is on its way out and I suspect it will get deprecated in the near future. Flux saw very slow adoption and SQL can do everything as well.

They’re nice if they also migrate your db schema. That way you define your schema once and use it both to setup your db and interact with it via code. I do write raw sql for more complex queries, e.g. when there’s recursion.

Every country that joined the EU after the 1992 Maastricht treaty has to adopt the euro. Denmark signed that treaty, UK as well, but if they rejoin, they’d more than likely be treated as a new member.

Netherlands too. Amsterdam is even planning to change major inner city roads to 30km/h (minor roads already are).

Go to a speciality coffee shop to find out what good black coffee tastes like.

Even then, there is no single coffee flavor. The bean and roasting make a big impact, although the darker the roast, the more alike the coffee becomes. Dark roasts have the typical coffee flavor, while lighter roasts make the bean’s flavor more pronounced. They can go from very fruity to very chocolatey. I once had beans that smelled like blueberries!

Brewing method also impacts the flavor profile a lot. Espresso packs the most flavor in a single sip. Filter and immersion brewing mellow the flavors out a bit more. I tend to prefer that over espresso. Allows me to enjoy the coffee longer and gives a bit more ‘space’ to discover subtleties in the flavor profile.

Lemmy devs expressed in an AMA that Liberapay is the preferred method of donation.

Check out the Law of One for some funky spiritual stuff. There might be something in there that makes sense of this reality for you.

It knocked my shoes off

Definitely dead here.

I don’t think these are wood fire roasted, as I would expect you’d definitely taste that.

He was giving a workshop when I bought the beans, so I didn’t want to bother them too long. He did tell me briefly where his three roasting machines come from (one is a 100 years old!), so maybe one of them is wood fired? I’ll ask about it next time I’m grabbing some beans.

Can you tell me more about doing it sous vide? I have a sous vide stick that I rarely use and would love to have a use for it!

Do you need a French press if you filter the coffee afterwards? I currently do not own one and wasn’t planning on getting one. My idea was to just dump the coffee in water, stir, let it brew, then filter.

Also, I assume you use a fairly coarse grind when brewing that long?

Reddit used to have this functionality too (RES would expose it in the UI). Later they removed it and only showed if a comment was controversial. Very refreshing indeed to see the up and down votes again!

You’re welcome

Absolutely true, although imo not necessarily as a conscious choice. It’s simply earth’s feedback systems. We cram all kinds of animals together and accidentally breed highly contagious viruses, which come back to bite us in the ass. We destroy biodiversity and now people in certain parts of the world have to manually pollinate crops, because the insects all died. Etc.

If all goes well, earth will find a balance again that still favours life (possibly not human life). If not, earth might end up like Venus. Not a big deal for earth, but a bit of shame of all this life we currently see here.

That’s very broad. Do you mean by some force outside our universe, or actors inside, possibly on earth?

Thanks for the hard work. I’ve cancelled my Patreon and switched to Liberapay.

I would even argue that points, stories and sprints are not things you need. If you go kanban, you don’t need sprints. You still need to be producing and you probably want to get a feel for complexity so you can prioritize, but that can be done without points.

Stories are also very scrum specific and you can turn them into whatever format you want. I usually still call them stories, but they’re basically just a little card that describes the context (why do want something) and the deliverables (what will be implemented to meet that want).
