And it's not just because they've partnered with a huge corporation. But mainly because their coffee company - "Punk Bunny Coffee" - puts a huge emphasis on "sustainability". And while Keurig says sustainability is important, their actions suggest the exact opposite. | null | null | 41,791,278 | 41,790,295 | null | [

41,791,802 | comment | kbolino | 2024-10-09T19:38:05 | null | Integer division by zero will raise an exception in most modern languages.<p>Integer overflow is more problematic. While some languages in some situations will raise exceptions, most don't. While it's easier to detect overflow that has already occurred with floats (though you'll usually have lost low-order bits long before you get infinity), it's easier to avoid overflow in the first place with integers. | null | null | 41,791,701 | 41,784,591 | null | null | null | null |
41,791,803 | comment | zahlman | 2024-10-09T19:38:17 | null | > Python3 did not break enough to justify the jump from 2 to 3<p>I agree - it should have broken more (and thereby become able to fix more). It should also have been usable out of the gate and not majorly reworked (there was a serious battle over the syntax of byte and string literals, and possibly some other things, that resulted in 3.0 and 3.1 not seeing a full 5-year maintenance lifetime), and of course developers should have actually fixed stuff promptly and accepted that the obviously superior new ways of doing things were, in fact, obviously superior.<p>Unfortunately, a lot of other developers don't seem to agree.<p>And as for explicit types - I really wish people would stop trying to fight the type system - of Python, and of whatever other language. Python is not meant to support static types. It's not designed to reject your code at compile time for a type error and it isn't designed to take type information into account when generating bytecode. It's designed, instead, very explicitly, to let you care about what a given object can do, rather than about how it categorizes itself. | null | null | 41,789,315 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

41,791,809 | comment | neaden | 2024-10-09T19:38:44 | null | thou/you is formal and informal and the distinction largely depending on your relationship with the person and respective social ranks. There were times when one person (social superior) would use thou (informal) while the other (social inferior) was expected to use you (formal). So yeah, no hard and fast grammar rule on when to do it but would depend entirely on the culture and the speaker and listeners social position inside of it. | null | null | 41,790,858 | 41,787,647 | null | [

(It would be nice being able to set constraints on what options your dependencies can enable)<p>I guess that for std functionality this is impossible (like if the dict changed its key sorting it might be too hard to dispatch on the original file) but for syntax it should be perfectly possible. | null | null | 41,791,515 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

It's in the sound itself, ignoring the lyrics and everything else. Many bands without any mainstream success still play pop punk. | null | null | 41,791,147 | 41,790,295 | null | [

If you have a 4-row shelf where you could have an 8-row shelf with the same width, each row 1m wide, you have 4m vs 8m of linear storage space. | null | null | 41,791,751 | 41,789,815 | null | null | null | null |

41,791,850 | comment | hn_throwaway_99 | 2024-10-09T19:43:18 | null | After reading your comment, I did a little searching and found a great essay on the shareholder primacy standard in Delaware: <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2916960" rel="nofollow">https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2916960</a><p>Contrary to what a lot of other commenters are saying, the shareholder primacy rule is relatively recent (basically since the 80s), and before that there was broad recognition that corporate boards could balance the interests of various stakeholders. This essay also argues that Dodge v Ford Motor (which was in the Michigan Supreme Court) actually had little practical impact - it was cases like <i>Unocal</i> and <i>Revlon</i> in the Delaware courts that had a much bigger impact on actual board behavior in the US. | null | null | 41,790,981 | 41,790,026 | null | null | null | null |

The service is just a normal program. If run directly, the inputs and outputs are attached to the terminal. If not, they're redirected to log files.

Loads of mechanisms and activity aimed at simply handling the complex per neuron energy management systems, continually rebuilding internal and boundary structures, replenishing internal components, selectively absorbing resources, breaking down and expelling waste, etc.<p>Neurons have an incredible design given they must grow, differentiate, and work for a lifetime without any intelligent planning or intervention.<p>But transisters are far smaller, leaner, and faster. And their energy requirement continue to decrease, and heat extraction efficiency improves, we will be able to pack them into fully 3D circuits. They will operate many orders of magnitude faster and more efficiently.<p>There was never an inate benefit to being organic, except that they were achievable with evolution. Digital circuits had to wait for a different kind of ecosystem to originate. But once they appeared, it only took them 100 years to rival their multi-billion year old analog counterparts.<p>Let's not even bring up quantum circuits, which are getting more practical every year, and will outclass both analog and digital circuits for many machine learning algorithms. | null | null | 41,782,112 | 41,733,390 | null | [

41,791,872 | comment | pncnmnp | 2024-10-09T19:46:22 | null | Donald Chamberlin's (the author of this article) oral history is also quite fun - <a href="https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2015/06/102702111-05-01-acc.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/20...</a>. A lot of the history discussed in the article is expanded upon there, and vice versa.<p>He talks about how System R got its name:<p>> Two of the important figures of System R were Leonard Liu, who was the person who hired me into IBM, and Frank King, who was the manager of the Relational Database project. ... One of the things that Frank thought was important was for our project to have a name so that we could make slides about it, write papers about it, and get some recognition. In order to get recognition for something it's good for it to have a name. So Frank called a meeting and said, "You guys are going to have to think of a name for your project." We thought, "Well, that's a waste of time. Don't bother us." But he persisted and said, "You guys are going to have to come up with a name." So for lack of anything else we said, "Well, we'll call ourselves System R." R stood for relations, or maybe it stood for research, or Franco Putzolu even thought it stood for Rufus, which was the name of his dog. It was a little bit of artful ambiguity what the R stood for, but that was the name of our project.<p>Also his earliest interaction with Larry Ellison:<p>> I’d been seeing some things in the trade press once in a while about a company called Software Development Laboratories that claimed to be developing a relational database system. I hadn’t paid much attention to it, but in the summer of 1978, I got a phone call. It was from a guy named Larry Ellison, and he said he was the president of Software Development Laboratories, and they were developing an implementation of the SQL language. Since we were in the research division of IBM, our philosophy of research was to publish our results in the open literature. As you know, many papers 22 came out of the System R project that were published in conferences and journals, describing the language and the internal interfaces of the system and some of the optimization technology and so on. The project was not a secret and, in fact, we’d been telling everybody about it that would listen. And one of the people that had listened and had read some of our papers was Larry. So he called me up and said that he was interested in implementing the SQL language in the UNIX environment. IBM wasn’t interested in UNIX at all. We were primarily a mainframe company at that time. We had some minicomputer products, but they really weren’t robust enough to manage a relational database, and there was little, if any, attention being paid to the UNIX platform. But Larry was really interested in the UNIX platform. He had a PDP-11, I think, that he was using as the basis for his SQL implementation, and he wanted to exchange visits with us and learn whatever he could about what we were doing, and in particular, he wanted to make sure that his implementation was consistent with ours so that there would be a common interface with compatible error codes and everything else. I was very pleased to get this call. I thought, “Terrific. This is somebody in the world who is interested in our work.” But I had some constraints on what I could do because of my position in IBM. I had to get management approval to talk to somebody on the outside, even though there was nothing secret about our project. Everything that Larry had access to was perfectly available in the open literature. So I went to talk to my boss, Frank King, and Frank talked to some lawyers—there were always plenty of lawyers in IBM that could think of a reason not to do most anything. Sure enough, they said, “You better not talk to other companies who are building products that are competitive with ours. We really don’t want you exchanging visits with these guys, so just tell them ‘Thanks for your interest, and have a nice day.’” So that’s what I did. I told Larry that, unfortunately, due to the constraints of the company, we wouldn’t be able to exchange information other than in the public literature. But that didn’t slow down Software Development Laboratories. They released their implementation of SQL. In fact, it was the first commercial implementation of SQL to go on the market. It was delivered by Larry Ellison’s company, initially called Software Development Laboratories, which later changed its name, I think, to Relational Software Incorporated, and later took on the name of the product, which was called Oracle. As you know, if you drive along Highway 101 in Redwood City and look at the giant 100-foot-tall disk drives over there on the edge of the bay, Larry’s had some success with these ideas. And rightly so. He brought a lot of energy and marketing expertise and a completely independent implementation, and was very successful with it, and had a major impact on the industry. | null | null | 41,764,465 | 41,764,465 | null | [

My objection is to library owners <i>pledging to drop</i> support for Python 2, because that entails that they think backward compatibility <i>is itself harmful</i>. To me, that's pants-on-head crazy thinking, like not wanting to wear last season's sweater, or not wanting to use JSON because it's too old.<p>Observably, since this happened, the Python maintainers have been very active at breaking backward compatibility. (And there's substantial overlap between Python maintainers and major Python library maintainers, which I suspect explains the motivation.) I think this is probably due to people who don't think backward compatibility is actually evil (the aforementioned "all the other users for whom python is an foreign, incidental, but indispensable part of their work") fleeing Python for ecosystems like Node, Golang, and Rust. This eliminates the constituency for maintaining backward compatibility.<p>I do think the botched 2→3 transition was probably the wellspring of this dysfunction, but I don't think that in itself it was necessarily a bad idea, just executed badly.<p>As a result of this mess, it's usually easy for me to run Lisp code from 40 years ago, C code from 30 years ago, or Perl or JS code from 20 years ago, but so difficult to run most Python code from 5 years ago as to be impractical. | null | null | 41,791,735 | 41,788,026 | null | [

41,791,888 | comment | acomjean | 2024-10-09T19:47:56 | null | It’s kinda punk pop. It has the intensity of punk. It definitely had the mosh pit element to it. I remember it being more intense than the grunge that was popular at the time.<p>It was on MTV alot. But then again so were Primus and Faith No More. It was a different time.<p>I was at the attempted free show in Boston in the 90s that ended after just a few songs.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/O7cJUUZIvNk?si=Yr7ivWCICTC0MTi7" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/O7cJUUZIvNk?si=Yr7ivWCICTC0MTi7</a><p>I thought I'd seen the end of the singing bass trophy, but if it has to come back this is a good way. | null | null | 41,791,045 | 41,790,295 | null | null | null | null |
41,791,889 | comment | jghn | 2024-10-09T19:48:12 | null | I think of punk as being three completely separate variables, and for any individual or band they're independent of each other:<p>1) Ethos<p>2) Aesthetics/look & feel<p>3) Musical sound<p>So someone could be punk as fuck ethos-wise but love listening to Yanni. Meanwhile a band could have a straight up anarcho-punk sound, but otherwise be white collar wage slaves<p>But this is the root of so much disagreement. When Green Day started ascending in the 80s, people were pointing out the poppy music as not being "punk". But that's just one variable. | null | null | 41,791,836 | 41,790,295 | null | [

41,791,890 | comment | theamk | 2024-10-09T19:48:14 | null | exfil ideas are always interesting to think about! The PC speaker idea may work, assuming:<p>(1) protected computer has a built-in PC speaker (for example, the computer I am typing this message on does not)<p>(2) There is an insecure PC with sound card and a microphone (or at least headphones which can be used as microphone)<p>(3) Secure and insecure PCs are close to each other, as opposed to being in different rooms<p>(4) It's quiet enough, and no one will notice the sounds (because PC speakers are crappy and can't do infra/ultra sound)<p>Likelihood of this succeeding depends on a lot of factors, the biggest of them being "how good is the security team". Presumably if they are buying data diodes, they at least have some knowledge?<p>Other exfil ideas I've read were to emit sounds using HDD, emit sounds by changing fan speed, blink code messages on lights ("sleep mode" or caps/num lock), show special patterns on monitors to transmit RF, add hidden dots to printed pages, abuse wireless keyboard or mice.. There are many idea and most of them are pretty impractical outside of very limited circumstances. | null | null | 41,789,860 | 41,779,952 | null | null | null | null |

41,791,893 | comment | jrootabega | 2024-10-09T19:48:34 | null | Maintaining correctness of language is not inherently a limitation of freedom. You are free to be incorrect in a free society. No one is entitled to respect for being incorrect in a free society. It IS possible to abuse authority over language to exert unfair control, but they are not always the same thing. | null | null | 41,790,161 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |
41,791,894 | comment | Windchaser | 2024-10-09T19:48:56 | null | I made the jump from mostly-math undergrad to materials science PhD (close to chemistry/physics, if you don't know the field). I was welcomed with open arms.<p>If you've got any math-heavy STEM graduate degree, you can likely jump into a physics PhD. You might need to take some senior-level undergraduate courses to catch up, but the transition is quite doable. At some point, your overall intelligence, enthusiasm, and work ethic matter more than your specific background. | null | null | 41,789,779 | 41,786,101 | null | null | null | null |

So if we go back up to your first comment where you say there are separate replacements for some services, you can see that isn't really relevant since what is being discussed was a drop in replacement for Google, and not an individual service they offer.<p>Aside from that though, Google's offerings are not a walled garden. | null | null | 41,791,817 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |
