I didn't hear that. I heard vocal claims that _getting rid of all of the things_ would cause problems, and that we'd either have to expensively replicate or just sign up for it separately anyway. That is exactly what has happened

I disagree with you; therefore by your own logic, I am right.

I’ve given up trying to push against f-strings/format in log messages; I even wrote a bowler/fissix fixer to automatically transform our codebase from them/.format/%-format into the delayed form. But nobody ever used it,

Running a bot against your repository doesn’t make the bot a contributor. Does running an autoformatter against your code make the formatter a contributor? Does github making the merge commit on a PR make github a contributor? This is just

It's a good thing that's completely not what is being claimed then. I can't move any part of my body at the speed of sound, and yet - somehow - I still manage to produce vibrations that move at the speed of sound.

I dunno, unlike - apparently - you, I'm not an expert on the last few microseconds of the microfluidics of what happens to small volumes of air suddenly evacuated from a hand-sized area under constant compression. I take it that this m

And a supersonic plane flying overhead doesn't sound like a bull whip. Therefore supersonic planes are a lie, QED.

Is it? What if it runs out of power at 70mph in the middle of a motorway? I’d have thought sudden breaking would have been the most dangerous thing to do

Interesting! Presumably you have a source backing up the claim that the article and paper it’s based on are fake?

Running out of fuel is something it’s obviously “easy” to do with other cars. But I’m surprised that the electronics have _no_ power redundancy, there isn’t a manual release for the parking break, and running out of power causes the parking

This article highlights some (known) deficiencies, but doesn't seem to remotely support your assertion of “significant portion” being junk. It also seems extremely likely that such things vary wildly by field, journal, etc. Which is to

Is that a wild guess to “reinforce” your point or do you actually have knowledge that this is common and zero survivors happens freqently? Either that or it sounds like you are blaming the penguins for nesting somewhere historically stable.

It really… doesn’t have to complicate. And I disagree that optimising python code is never necessary. Not everybody is writing 100-line one-off glue scripts. Also, you are somewhat changing the topic from “what is an example of when you mig

My immediate first thought is, optimisation? If you know you’ve been the same object, you could skip e.g. comparison, or change update logic

Wait, so if a third party repairer puts in a dud part that fries the rest of the system, they still have to provide a warranty replacement of the whole thing?

Perhaps they meant the ellipsis... Which I assume was stripped automatically by the HN title formatter?

The rename from "UFO Program" to "UFO Shop" unfortunately makes it sound like the Pentagon has a souvenir shop that sells little UFOs. I'm disappointed.

What level are you hiring at? I could well imagine e.g. fresh graduates not having a good handle on some of the nuances of the language. You can get pretty far without having to refine your understanding of rvalue semantics.
