I think there’s a few of us who appreciate you being up front. I’d question the intent and why it was a mistake, especially when the commit[0] message reverting said functionality states “widespread criticism” citing this very HN article makes it look seemingly like the revert is due to negative PR opposed to a mistake.

Author of that PR doesn't seem to be a Microsoft employee. Keep in mind that anyone on GitHub can create PRs against VSCode.

Author is absolutely from Microsoft

The linked revert PR is not from Microsoft (and also isn't merged)

It is merged

dmitriv recreated in a separate PR and merged that. The linked revert PR by a user was closed.

Yep - Says he's got a Microsoft.com email address:

I am reverting it because there are bug in the feature and it obviously does not work as expected. Any feedback is important, HN or not.

So, you're reverting because of "bugs", not because you had massive backfire? Do you understand that no one wants this, right?

I feel like there’s a blog post in here somewhere…!

I should do an AMA at some point. There was a pseudo-AMA on reddit a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/1z0yx7/first_person...

No different to preventing game studios being liable for mass shootings. Reminds me of the post-Columbine hysteria where media was super critical of Doom and Nine Inch Nails.

Except that there was no link between violent video games and mass shootings. It has been shown many times. The families blamed the video games despite there being no direct evidence of it. The games did not tell them they should go on a mass murdering spree any more than porn told you you should sleep with your cousin.

In this case there are several documented cases where the AI did over a long period of time progressively gaslight the individual and persuade them to commit suicide.

Would Doom give a sociopath instructions on how to commit a mass shooting if asked? I don't remember that part of the game

If you experience the world as encounters with a series of demons, you might infer it.

Bless! Absolutely love this, and an absolutely no disrespect, this is vibe code goodness! These are the kinds of things I have an absolute ball building, usually when I’m sitting on the couch at the end of the day duel screening.

What’s the data source? Assuming NASA being NASA they have a public API for the mission?

I think we must be of a similar generation, I also remember being a kid seeing those stupid ads with celebrities “bending their finger”. It’s really gross to think how normalised gambling is.

There is another side to this though, and that’s our pub culture and how “big gambling” plays a role in keeping pubs financially viable with the help of pokies. In the wise words of Tim Whitlam, “Blow up the pokies”

Edit: deleted, someone already mention non-US locations not working

I’m very much an Odoo guy who has dabbled with Django (and notably, celery in the past) but as someone who makes huge use of the Odoo OCA queue module[0], I never understood why Django never made use of the Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY to offload tasks. Maybe this is my misunderstanding as I’m pretty green with the Django ecosystem as a whole.

It almost seems intentionally AI? If anything, if my job at Maccas…ahem, McDonald's (sorry, spot the Aussie) is in marketing, I’d expect to to be promptly fired if this wasn’t expected to pass for anything less than satire.

Do you have children’s names for other restaurants?
