If you are American, you might not know that other things happened at the same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor [Yes, it was 8 December 1941 in Hong Kong, but across the dateline, so contemporaneous. IIRC 8am Honolulu to 6am HK is +4 hours]. | null | null | 41,758,706 | 41,756,432 | null | null | null | null |

41,788,415 | comment | mananaysiempre | 2024-10-09T14:41:40 | null | I don’t think there have been significant backwards-incompatible changes in Python 3 the language. There have been <i>some</i>, e.g. async and await were first introduced as soft keywords and then switched to being actual ones. But that’s not all that different from the treatment of yield in Python 2.<p>(Recent stdlib changes have been much more destructive, but I’m assuming that, like in the original thread, we’re drawing a distinction between those and changes to the actual language.)<p>Full disclosure, I welcomed Python 3, because for me that was the first time (since 2.4 on Windows XP) that I could count on my programs not randomly shitting their pants upon encountering Cyrillic in files or filenames, which for a native speaker of Russian you can imagine is quite important. (The csv stdlib module in Python 2 did that, IIRC. Perhaps I was holding it wrong, but experience shows that absolutely everybody did.) | null | null | 41,788,310 | 41,788,026 | null | [

The people I tell it to laugh, because it's funny but also because it's true.<p>On the front-end you're dealing with more customer/users and it's inherently more of a servile role, while it's much easier to be stubborn, eccentric, 'powerful' in the tech-facing backend.<p>I'd also wager there's a certain "tech purity" angle too, given the inherent reverence foisted upon lower level languages and programming fields that is seemingly rife.<p>To play devil's advocate on myself, perhaps it's more that the higher end technical complexity challenges for Front-End aren't commonplace enough. I've had the fortune to work in a field where the level of necessary technical complexity on the front-end part of my job is very high, so ymmv | null | null | 41,785,990 | 41,781,457 | null | null | null | null |

41,788,435 | comment | OscarCunningham | 2024-10-09T14:43:11 | null | One example of a time I used a bare except was when I wanted a program to retry three times if it failed for any reason. I just wrapped everything in a for loop with a catchall except.<p>The problem occurred when our scheduling program (Airflow) noticed the program was taking too long to run and decided to kill it. It sent a kill signal to Python, which dutifully caught the exception, retried and continued to run. I had to add a special case to allow Airflow to kill the program.<p>This PEP just forced me to look up the difference between the classes Exception and BaseException. It turns out that BaseException includes every exception, whereas Exception excludes those that are trying to exit the program (like SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt). | null | null | 41,788,026 | 41,788,026 | null | [

This has zero impact on the quality of people you hire.<p>Also, "We only hire the best" is a bullshit catchphrase designed to flatter the ego of fresh grads in order to soften them for comp discussion. What usually happens is that you hire whoever passes an arbitrary bar you've set, and you're content not to have and waste another month in a new interview round before you start your new project.<p>> Just making sure that your hiring is not actively racist itself is not something I'm arguing against (and I would not call that "DEI hiring").<p>edit: Unfortunately, it is. e.g. someone created a throwaway account to peddle weird fantasies in answer to this message. | null | null | 41,788,015 | 41,745,798 | null | [

I've got a small 2500W (1850W continuous) dual-fuel generator that I had expected to be able to run off of a 20lb propane tank. It didn't work at all when I actually needed it (surprise!), and I ended up just running on gasoline and having to go out to get more. It has since been working fine off of 3 tanks teed together, although I still haven't seen middle of the winter arctic blast temperatures with that set up yet. | null | null | 41,787,750 | 41,764,095 | null | [

While we teach QM similar to how it was discovered, there are less mystical interpretations that are still valid. Viewing wave function collapse as updating priors vs observer effects works but is pretty boring.<p>While wormholes are a prediction of the theory, we don't know if the map matches the territory yet. But it is a reason to look for them. But if we do find them it is likely that no useful information will survive the transit through them.<p>Kerr's rebuke of Hawkings assumption that black hole singularities are anything more than a guess from a very narrow interpretation of probably unrealistic, non rotating, non charged black holes is probably a useful read.<p>The map simply isn't the territory, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't see how good that map is or look for a better one. | null | null | 41,785,374 | 41,782,534 | null | [

41,788,498 | comment | jmyeet | 2024-10-09T14:49:06 | null | For context, this relates to an earlier court ruling that Google search was an illegal because it pays others to make Google the default search engine. This isn't about Android or any other thing that might separately be investigated.<p>So the government wants "structural relief" here meaning to break up Google. But isn't the remedy simply tp make such payments illegal? That's certainly one argument I would make were I Google's lawyers. In addition to just appealing the finding outright of course.<p>Now I've previously said (and I stand by this) that making such payments illegal would <i>help</i> Google maintain its search dominance. Why? Because Firefox, Apple, etc could no longer extort Apple to make Google the default when that's what most users want anyway.<p>Mozilla already tried making Bing the default. They went back to Google eventually, probably because Google paid them, but I would guess the user response was probably negative too. That's just a guess however.<p>Those of us who are old enough will remember the Microsoft antitrust trial and how that really went nowhere in the end. And that was for something that was profoundly much more harmful. There is such a larger barrier to entry to installing a new browser.<p>And that's the thing: this will take a decade or longer to actually play out. Any administration in the meantime could not have the same resolve or otherwise choose to settle with Google in some form of consent decree that limits their behaviour for a period of time.<p>So I don't see this going anywhere realistically. | null | null | 41,787,290 | 41,787,290 | null | [
