it really isn't. but to be fair, it got a lot worse many years after the acquisition (2008), so it's hard to be certain whose fault it was.

yeah, this is a significant hole in the locked cockpit door plan.

based on the article, it doesn't sound like this has anything specifically to do with temperature - the issue is more about whether there is moisture in the air. If it were just a temperature thing, you'd think it could be automat

yeah, I appreciate this clarification. "publishing" seems like a nebulous concept to me and the general act of publishing something rarely seems to be what draws the attention of the lawyers (whereas making money seems clearer-cut

there are a lot of interesting legal questions here, but surely in the Adobe/Mickey case, it's the user's input that's infringing. In the examples provided here, the user's input is obviously not infringing, so that

i think the concept of "source code as AST" or something like that is basically a fine one, but the devil is in the details. your "true source" must continue to support (just off the top of my head): - precise "deco

but would they have liability if they submitted their "output" to a senior artist, who immediately shot it down as obviously infringing? Surely not. It's not illegal to draw Mario - just illegal to make money off your drawing

i can see you are probably a polyglot, working in several languages with regularity. it would certainly be frustrating to have to juggle these semantics as you switched back and forth. however, languages are just that - they have their own

I strongly sympathize, but my thinking on this is that it's _extremely_ hard to find someone whose ethics match yours without thinking deeply (and you and the writer both being exceptionally transparent) about what _motivates_ your eth

I don't know if I agree or disagree with your general thesis, but it has to be pointed out that the JavaScript ecosystem is even more complex than Python -- despite the fact that it doesn't have to deal with a C ABI -- and I think

This is wonderful! A feature request: when I hover over your nose, I would like to see you cross your eyes!

it's not that uncommon to work at a company where the engineers have no idea that churn is up 25%, much less that customers are complaining about slowness. companies get so fixated on having their engineers do "engineering work&qu

the storage format may not be the only consideration - it may be preferable to have an in-memory representation that is also inexpensive.

I'm particularly curious about TX - it's really impressive that a satellite would be able to pick out a signal coming from the tiny thing I'm holding in my hand.

doing this on an annual basis is such an obviously inefficient system (on both sides) that you'd think somebody would've developed a basic mathematical approach by now to disrupt the market. but of course in practice, most US heal

ooof. Bandcamp is the only place I know of that provides an actually user-friendly experience for buying music. They've seemed maybe a little too good to be true in this modern age.

it does not need ground friction and what you're proposing could absolutely work if water could be sourced in sufficient quantities. in that region, maybe they get enough snow that they don't need to truck in water....

yeah, this isn't Python, this is pandas. Run far away from pandas if it's not too late.

critique: (almost) no one wants to work 30 days a month. ;) more seriously: I assume you plan to pay for hotel rooms? also: why 2 hours max? If you're paying for one night in a hotel, then surely you could pay for 2 nights, making 3 or

this is the _first_ place I've seen anyone clearly articulate an actual use case for subinterpreters. Thank you!

what's especially interesting about this is that it could create a new "meta" for static typing in Python. One significant issue with static typing in Python is how much boilerplate is required to use types when also doing th

I'm very curious to see how this works out in the Kotlin ecosystem, given the amount of async code out there (and the associated function coloring issues).

yes, but is it actually harder than Stopping Cruises, which is what the activists apparently want? Obviously not.

I've been excited in the abstract about PRQL for quite a while. But something FQL seems to have a much better handle on is the value of document-orientedness, or what you might alternatively call "gradual schematization". Thi

does this provide sane default behavior for refreshing expired auth tokens and retrying random client timeouts? the "official" SDK has driven me absolutely crazy trying to wrap all the different pieces with retries so that basic l

The blame here may indeed lie with whoever decided that reusing an old flag was a good idea. As anyone who has been in software development for any time can attest, this decision was not necessarily - and perhaps not even likely - made by a

I think this is meant to be in reference to recent events where Flexport rescinded job offers. For the Hacker News audience, this is not positive advertising, to say the least.
