I wouldn't consider Laravel for this use case - I might consider either Laminas or Symfony though since those two frameworks allow you to pick and choose which features you actually want to roll into your project. If you'd like to simplify your routing files but otherwise leave everything else the same - Laminas and Symfony can do that trivially. If you find yourself forced into an ORM due to needing to support multiple SQL dialects, Laminas and Symfony can also do that trivially.

Laravel is a sort of all-in option that tends to perform worst when integrated into a legacy project - it isn't completely overbearing (it won't creep into absolutely every file you're using) but it will end up requiring changes to a lot more files than is reasonable.

>I asked why the social media companies would pay more attention to their requests and take-down notices than they would to mine, and got no particular reassurances

it wouldn't be hard to go on LinkedIn and find some of Twitter's content managers and bribe them by paying them on the side to prioritize certain requests. Amazon had an issue with this related to their product ratings

So if security is as paranoid as it is today and the best fuel we can use to kick a plane half way into space is something similar to today's jet fuels then it won't happen? Basically "because 9/11 and concorde". Not sure what timescale the author considers and I agree it's unlikely within a few decades, but who knows what happens in 100 years?
Just one reason from many: because it doesn't deter anyone without a house in Israel.

Despite looking like memory, SSDs are not much like DRAM. They are also not much like disks either. I suspect you will see new protocols for accessing them eventually, similar to NCQ on SATA drives.
This will be extremely helpful while reading the book. I hope there will be an updated version in the future, one of the best introductory books I found on this subject.

Put Android Developer in your profile on LinkedIn. I don't know how successful it ultimately ends up being, but you'll certainly get spammed with recruiters trying to find Android developers.
I'm curious what spending bloat you are referring to - because hiring more and better teachers is limited by money. It's limited by other things, too - such as figuring out a reliable metric for "better."
Another source that I found helpful - Python Osmosis http://python.sourcequench.org/ - a video series tutorial with 50 episodes. I used both Python Osmosis and Python the Hard Way to get started.

>> B) watch out for bandwidth limits on the public folder

Why would Dropbox want to let you circumvent bandwidth limits on your public folder?
I'm not aware of anything that can rank contacts by some function :/ I'm pretty sure GMail doesn't give you that data, unfortunately...
Many applications also let you do that (iOS's quiQR does, for instance).

qrCodes (and other similar codes) are just a physical encoding of binary data.
this sounds like it has the potential for the largest kickstarter funded project to date!
I use ezPDF (was free on Amazon App Store, but only 99 cents normally), and it renders graphics-heavy retro gaming magazines perfectly! I do have to zoom to read some small text, but I had to pretty much do that with GoodReader on the iPad anyway.

I met my husband on the internet, back in 1996, when it was considered unusual and weird to do so. We're about to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.

I met one of my very best friends and business partners online in '97. We talk nearly every single day and have worked closely together for years. We co-own a company together. - We've never actually met in person. We'll be doing that for the first time in 14 years next weekend.

I have other very close friends that have started as online friendships, as well.
Exactly, and the weakening dollar is making food, gas, etc more expensive to the poor in the US. The strong dollar is especially beneficial to the consumers.
Not sure what your point is, I was obviously talking about Bernie (soft is right). Once again, inconsequent societal issues won over economic interests of these voters.
You’re still confusing your costs as important here - which is very convenient for employers! It isn’t how they operate (if they’re smart anyway) in the open market, and if you’re smart you won’t operate that way in the labor market either.

Understand and negotiate based off the value you provide, and what you can bring to the business. Chances are, your local cost of living has very little to do with that.
Using Hadoop doesn’t mean your core competency is maintaining Hadoop. Analysts don’t want to be engineers.
Two accidents in the last few days, both involving tourists:
[1] 14 killed at 4 Am in Kurnool District in the state of Andhra Pradesh. 18 people were in mini bus, heading to Ajmer in Rajasthan from Madanapalli.
[2] 8 killed in Araku valley region near Vizag, and at midnight.

During the day time, many accidents involve 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers. At night, it involves travelers: tourists and regular travelers between major cities.

"Title name says POOP" cca. 2006
Sure, but that doesn't change the argument. I napkin-mathed the QALY difference between vaccinating a 30yo compared to a 70yo elsewhere in the thread, feel free to continue that by adding long covid into the mix.

If anything, I bet it will strengthen my case, because older people are more likely to get sick from the virus, and therefore more likely to develop long covid than younger people, which means the "QALY utility" of vaccinating an older person becomes even greater, which makes GP an even bigger immoral asshole for skipping the line.
This is the ground truth of how life works. Like gravity.

I keep repeating this on HN whenever a comp conversations come up. Unless lotsofpulp's comment resonates deeply with your bone marrow level intuition of what gets you paid, you're totally missing the point (and making bad choices.)
is this an exploit I remember there was an "exploit" that reregistered the urls from old tweets of celebs or verified users that had used now expired link shorteners
>you're forcing students to learn to engage with content online without someone spoon-feeding them.

How do you force them to engage with the content?
> If your database and computations are requiring multiple seconds on a normal web page, you have serious user experience problems.

This is almost always the case when I think "this website is slow", though. When HN is slow, it's not because of some added network latency, but because something is making HN take 3 seconds to serve up my "threads" page, or 2 seconds to successfully post my comment. Same with "reddit is slow", or "this Wordpress blog is taking forever to load" or "Twitter spins the 'working' icon for 2 seconds when I click on that 'retweets' thing in the sidebar before returning anything". Those things are really common in my experience, and those rather than network round-trip times are by far the biggest and most annoying slowdowns, at least in my browsing.
I was quite excited to find my copy waiting outside my door tonight. I am saving it for some bed time reading. I have been waiting about 20 years for this edition. When I was taking my electronics class in school my old-school professor said if you really want to learn electronics, get this book. I did get the second edition and really enjoyed it. As I do mostly software I don't use it much, but I keep hoping to do more hardware on the side eventually. Who knows, this might be the trigger.
> Rails advocates moved to the next 'cool' thing, which is Javascript frameworks

Who are these "Rails advocates" who have moved from Rails, a server-side framework, to client-side frameworks? Since they've moved on from Rails and apparently no longer need a server-side framework, are their projects powered by third-party APIs?

I sort of collect amusing typos. Right near the top of page 6, label for Figure 2: "FredEx".

Might be a Freudian slip - perhaps a FreudEx - or simply the now prevalent autocorrect.

Dean Young. Elegy on Toy Piano is a phenomenal book.
It's worth noting that not all ye olde home remedies are unduly ignored. In my great-grandmother's time, kerosene was seen as a wonder drug, put on everything to heal it. They even once put it in a baby's eyes to cure blindness.
Perhaps, but only a deep analysis of the metrics will tell if you're shifting the paradigm or just picking low hanging fruit.
> Cable's initial idea was TV without ads. Now all you see on Cable is ads.

Whenever I see people that believe that ads vs paid is a either/or proposition, I utter "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it". It is much more likely that Uber will both charge and display ads; than to give people alternatives on how to fund their ride.

I am old enough to actually remember cable without ads. Maybe this is the main reason I feel completely okay with the morality aspects of using ad-blockers or pirating movies/shows I can't get on my region, or even downloading songs and trying to support musicians by actually going to concerts.
There was actually no iPhone 2g, although there were iPhone and iPhone 3G.
Whoever is responsible for approving the aggregate and pushing it to market. Since we don't (yet) have products that self-assemble in store from various parts out of their own free will, there is always a single entity responsible for putting everything together.
Why would you turn it down? I mean... I guess I haven't thought about it. $100k aren't going to make a huge difference in your life.

I'd also imagine the money would come from the scammers. Not from the bank. If I write you a check for $95,000 and I don't have that much on my account, then it bounces and you don't get the money, right. We can conclude the scammy company paid for it and their advertisement how to make %95k in 3 weeks was actually pretty accurate.

Reminds me of that British ad company which sent out emails to millions of people promising $10,000 for the first to respond with their name, address, social security number, and bank details. One guy actually responded, and they went to visit him to hand over the $10k :)
The author is clearly focused on recent history. Newton was canceled before Google was incorporated, and right after Steve Jobs became CEO.
Actually, point #2 is wrong. Most of the major foundries have their own font licensing system these days (or it's a work-in-progress). It's not the greatest solution since you can't have all your licensed fonts in, say, TypeKit, but it's not too bad.

- Linotype/Monotype: http://webfonts.fonts.com/

- Bitstream: http://new.myfonts.com/info/webfonts/

- FontFont: http://www.fontfont.com/opentype/

- TypeKit (various foundries): http://typekit.com

…and Hoefler & Frere-Jones is currently working on a web font licensing system as well.
Yep. What the post described as the final solution was bringing down the running time from 24hrs to 10min using straightforward optimisations. I would guess moving from 10min to 30sec would take doing it differently.

It's funny that they make it sound like Schmidt isn't also the guy who wrote lex.
I don't think using ancient history, however well recorded it is or isn't is a good way to decide who owns what. We all came from somewhere else if you go back far enough. The Jews aren't the only ones with historical links to Palestine. It's not just ludicrous it's evil to suggest that white Europeans or Black Ethiopians on the basis of their religion or part of their racial heritage have more right to the territory of Palestine than Palestinians do.
This isn't "hacking". He just lied on his application.
I never knew that GvR was on the teams for ABC and for Amoeba. Those are two projects that I felt had a lot of potential. I played with ABC, and I used Amoeba in anger in a past life. Today I use Python a lot.

Fascinating.
Needless to say, I think that in a world where we are trying to become (as a general rule) more power-efficient in order to combat CO2 emissions, that's not the case. Adding whole new countries-worth of power use just for some new financial geekery really doesn't seem worth it.

But I'm glad we agree the comparison with the existing system is a silly one.
This was my first exposure to development when I got my first PC. Delphi was amazing for creating User interfaces,as those were the days were 99% of windows apps looked the same ( except Winamp). I even managed to create some useful programs for myself. Shame I dropped it and moved on to 3D modeling for a bit and only returned to development more than a decade later. Who knows what would have happened if I haven't dropped it then..
So much with metals is about how the material is processed (forged, extruded, heat treated, etc.).
With newer technologies like 3D-printing, because of the very high cooling/freezing rates int he processing, even more Scandium (>0.7%) can be added, and even more strength gained, while still being very ductile (it'll tend to dent rather than cracking when abused).
Maybe this will be the 'new Scandium' material to take on the carbon frames. Might need to get cheaper though...

I think the silly Matrix analogy is really telling.

Forget about Plato’s cave and Baudrillard for second, The Matrix is about that stuff the way tic tac toe is about drawing circles and x’s.

The Matrix is about ego. It’s about the fantasy that one day soon your unique magical gifts will finally be recognized. To the untrained eye you might appear to be another TPS report filing schmuck, but deep down you’ve always been a hero. Any day now your circumstances are going to change, and then your real life will begin.

This is not a path that generally leads to happiness or creative accomplishment, and I think its traces are pretty plain in TFA.
The vaccination program is utterly broken, just like the healthcare and justice system. I can't believe it keeps getting worse.
JOMO then?
Warmongering has next to nothing to do with currency.

If anything, limited supplies of anything, including bitcoin, are a likely to spark wars, not end them.

If you truly wish to help stop wars, join a peace-loving organization, attend marches, lobby politicians. You'll find all of the real work on this are in leftist organizations, which fight against the real foundations of war, such as inequality, ideas of exceptionalism, corporate greed and others. Fiat currency is well down on the list of the world's problems.
There is a massive population outflow from high COL coastal cities to smaller interior cities happening right now. SF, NY, LA, and Seattle are all shrinking.

Actually, I'd expect Heroku to not charge for when the site was down, as they are clearly not available, it does not sound fair if they charge for it.

Am I expecting too much from them?
No, they shouldn't write that.

Dropbox is a consumer file storage company. Statements like that will confuse the majority of their target market and stall adoption of the service.

What Dropbox is doing in relation to security/encryption is about the best possible solution that balances features and function with data protection for files that might be leaked or stolen.

If you have suggestions for Dropbox, lay out concise technical suggestions. Writing new legalese for them is not solving any of the problems that people are getting so worked up about.
I use a similar broad topic based folder organization on both my dropbox ebook folder, and in my iBooks collections.

On Kindle it's just one big mess, but I don't have as many books in the Kindle yet (a dozen or so).

I use the same idea for Instapaper folders.
It's complicated. This is one of my favorite hacking-a-non-technical system situations: you are allowed to self-sponsor if you can convince the examining clerk that you are allowed to self-sponsor. Points in favor: you are capable of writing a letter in support of your application which repeat the requirements of the Japanese immigration law and convinces him you pass them, you have contracts and invoices which demonstrate a level of income that the clerk accepts (variously phrased as "enough to live on", "more than the average Japanese person", or "3 million yen" -- he has wide discretion here) plus tax receipts which match them for the latest year, you have an attorney or someone in your corner who knows how the game is played, and in general your comportment and presentation scream Desirable Foreigner.

Can you self-sponsor your first visa? Do you want the technical answer or the useful answer here? Technically, yes, I suppose you could. It would help if you have a stamped letter from the Emperor attesting that your freelance web programming skills are the only thing standing between Japan and total annihilation. If you have that letter, I'd give you fifty-fifty odds.
This is also where the layout term, leading comes from. They would use lead shavings in-between letters and words to space them out for readability.
Education is not an unstable bubble. Looking at the low and high end of the market there does seem to be an education bubble despite plenty of vary good state schools with reasonable tuition.

What people seem to miss is unlike the housing or gold bubble tuition costs don't really feed off each other. The high end is really just a luxury in another form and nothing is stopping Breitling from selling 300,000$ watches any time soon. And the low end is a direct government subsidy (like corn farming) which will continue as long as the government feels the need to waste money.

PS: As long as demand is unlimited and wages elastic Technology can't really destroy jobs in the long term even as it disrupts industry after industry. Still, people will always look for the best workers, so even if a degree might not mean an increase in pay the unemployment rate for people with a BS is 1/2 that of those without one for a reason.

Yesterday Pence said:. "Don't get a test if you don't have symptoms." Two minutes later: "My wife and I will be taking the test this afternoon." He appears to not have symptoms.

The median time is only around 5 days according to WHO[0]. The time from infection to hospitalization (when the case is bad enough) however has a longer median time which I have seen claimed to be around 11 days, but I can't find a good source. But it makes sense that we are seeing the longer lag when countries are only testing people with severe symptoms.

> We can all wish for the culture, test availability, and competent government that South Korea and Singapore and Taiwan apparently have, but we don’t have those. So their “plan” is effectively a plan to just let millions of people 60+ or with pre-existing conditions die without much effort to save them. It’s not only unconscionable, it’s incredibly stupid.

Why we had to wait until a crisis like this for this to be rendered bare for the wider population?

As I've said countless times before, the West has been on the downward trajectory for a very long time, both as a society, and as state entities.

What I call an "ultrapopulism" has been an ever growing trend in the West since around mid-nineties.

The Western nations are not just weak as societies, and nations, they are diseased (sorry for having to use this word now.)

The reasons for me moving from comfy life in the West to China is not because I so much enjoyed it, but for me having a realisation that this accelerating downward trend will have very real consequences in my lifetime, and that even money alone no longer favours the West.

I didn't unvote it and I think each of the example is missing subtle aspects.

But I think it's interesting enough to discuss. The main thing is that are a whole lot of human activities where one can imagine completely rote activity could replace thinking. But in all of these, a deeper look shows to subtle factors actually require a human being to be present.

It's a bit like self-driving cars. 90% of driving is really easy to get working. 99% is moderately hard. 100% looks like it won't arrive for quite a while.

While it's kind of off-topic, let me still ask: what are the problems you see in using Haskell for networking? I see that building a library with the C calling convention might be hard, but a web service must be pretty language-agnostic.
I seriously think the author needs to revisit the series, because Katniss was not overly concerned for the welfare of others, nor did heap praise on other people. She was a survivor, willing to do whatever it took to stay alive. It was only near the end of the series did she begin to develop empathy and emotions, but she is not the kind of person you'd want working for you.
One of the biggest smartphone features is "thinness". Thinner phones are considered better.

Thinner phones are also significantly weaker, can flex more, can get cracked circuit boards, cracked solder joints, etc.

The biggest feature of many phones decreases reliability.
