Tech meetups were pivotal to the growth of tech ecosystems throughout the country. Here, @christopherwink discusses their past, present and uncertain future with @pinnacle_21's @MartinSnyder and highlights @dctechmeetup@ThePhillyJUG & @charmcityjs https://t.co/laXLUrK0RF
How I Got Here: What led 5 Philly technologists to this exact moment in their careers?

This is an obvious consequence. I don't see how anyone could argue that the output of copilot is not a derivative work of all of its combined inputs. Impossible to navigate from a copyright perspective unless it is only trained on permissive licenses.
@github copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits large chunks of my copyrighted code, with no attribution, no LGPL license. For example, the simple prompt "sparse matrix transpose, cs_" produces my cs_transpose in CSparse. My code on left, github on right. Not OK.
@SusanPotter Part of it is that the orgs using it are resistant to change and reluctant to incur training costs that would impact large numbers of users. Once they adopt the software, they generally advocate against "improvements" to existing functionality that change the business workflows
@actinglikecrazy On the JVM, most people start with PDFBox because the license is more liberal, then move to iText if PDFBox can't handle their use cases.
This Wednesday, Philly Lambda will be hosting a talk by @garysieling in Philly. We have a good crowd coming but there are a few spots left. This is the last call as RSVPs close tomorrow (Sept. 20) at noon.

@rtfeldman Here are my off the cuff thoughts:
1. scripting - doesn't control it's API - used to script "other things"
2. interpreted - does not build a native binary - requires an installed runtime system to execute
3. dynamic language - doesn't mean much to me, but I will go with "untyped"
For the first time in ~30 months we'll be having an in-person audience for a @ThePhillyJUG meeting. I'll be hosting our speaker @SharpeDennis at @pinnacle_21 next Thursday, August 25th at 6:30pm.
