In fact auto-complete in VS code with copilot works surprisingly well. Let’s say there are patterns in how classes in a framework are constructed, and I already added changes to th…

As good as it is? I find it pretty terrible, at least for me it singlehandedly makes me not want to use Android.

A few years ago I looked up what's available to make a kid interested in programming when I found this. I ended up spending quite a few days doing my own little project... that I'm…

Not that I don't agree that Switzerland loosing its finance industry would be a big blow for the country, but let's get some perspective: Banking is less than half the size of Swit…

Ok sorry, I was wrong about Sweden - I thought the nation defaulted in the 90ies, but it was in fact 'only' a big chunk of their financial industry[1]. It seems that they came very…

Why is insolvency not an option for a country? It was in Sweden, which is doing fine now, and in Argentina more recently. Oh look, there's a whole lot more of them[1]. It only isn'…

Well yes, grown-over-time permission systems are also at fault when it comes to the lack of security in third party extensions/apps. IMO unix is still the standard in terms of simp…

I'd really like to see a usability study between Vim experts (10y+ usage) and Sublime Text 2 (1y+ usage) experts on a keyboard+good touchpad combo. We could even do it in theory by…

> Yes, I understand that it's a pain for new Chrome developers to have to understand the permission system among other things. I liked the easy ACLs of Chrome when I started. That'…

Thanks for the great info, very helpful!

I'm very interested in this, in fact I'm planning on rolling an iOS based couchDB solution for a company sometime this summer. Could you comment on some key differences between pou…

It feels strange to me that so far only one commenter here (ok, he's at the top now) has identified where the main mistake seems to be: A SYNCHED COPY IS NOT A BACKUP . This includ…

Honestly, as a European, that sums up pretty much the preconceptions we have about Americans: throat jumpy. If it accurately reflects American culture is another story, but I gotta…

I've just watched that clip for the first time: http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/electric-shocker?VideoBrows... Defamation? Really? I think Clarkson was actually pretty fair, consi…

Did you also update your XP to the latest service packs and patches? My updated XP in a VM currently runs at 780MB after one morning of very light usage. It has only one applicatio…

If it keeps its promises this will be huge. To be honest it's almost too good to be true (and to have such an open license). Looking forward very much to using this in future proje…

While I share your sentiment I'm honestly kind of impressed that you run 5-6 linux VMs on a Pentium 4/AMD64 generation system. Really? Those things didn't virtualization support on…

I seriously wonder what programmer / manager looks at this and thinks 'Yeah that's awesome, let's keep this!'.

I think you would like everything from Bonobo . Warning: addictive - I often keep his new albums on repeat for many weeks.

I had the same issue, they fixed it without 2 days without discussion though. A motherboard replacement was required there, billed out for about $800 (of course for me it was free)…

By inactive I meant that it's not swallowing anything currently, but I guess if it has attracted a gas cloud this is simply not true. Must be quite a sight. Imagine there's a civil…

> Hacker News' name policy.. Did I miss something? I can't find any username policy in HN's guidelines.

I've never seen that image of our galaxy's central region, it's fascinating! Is "Sgr A" the black hole, Sagittarius A*? If yes, why would it be bright? I thought it's inactive.

here's one more usecase which is probably very common: When you use python as glue to call other programs which can run asynchronously. As an example I've used python once to imple…

Imagine it's your job to fiddle around remotely with fuel pump electronics (or whatever may create that water hammer) within a time window of maybe 20 minutes or else you've just s…
