I'd be more interested in seeing the result of letting the connections succeed while timing how long they stay open and how many bytes are sent/received. The fact that thousands of connections are opened is likely a result of retry mechanisms after the connections are dropped at the router. Perhaps the first thing Windows 10 does is let Microsoft know "this system has opted out of the following tracking: ..." so that connections to Windows Update, etc. don't end up logging additional information.

I'd also like to see a similar comparison for an average desktop Linux installation, OS X installation, and so on.

I have had some interesting experiences, the most challenging being DMT.

It worked in the following way. During our daily lives, all inputs from out senses are filtered. I imagine that the brain filters the "raw steam" because it is way to much data to consistently process effectively. I think this is why you tend to notice things that have been moved in a room, even if you might not immediately know what it was that had moved. I believe that game programmers use these kind of visual screen drawing tricks all the time.

DMT gives you the ability to see the world without filters for a short period of time. At some point during that unfiltered view the brain can't take it anymore, and it reboots.

Both parts of this experience are both fascinating and terrifying. When you reboot, there is no you. No ego. It takes a while for the brain to work out what you are, before who you are, and then finally what the fuck just happened!

It's nickname is "the businessman's trip". There is no come down.
On a tangentially related subject, I ran into an old chum over the weekend who has spent the last four years living in a major city in China, and he's coming back because he says he just can't trust anything. He can't breath the air, he can't trust the water (even sealed bottled water, having seen enough sealed bottled water that was actually taken straight from the factory tap), recently some people were executed for selling plastic rice (which did exactly what you would expect to the people eating it). Regulation is so necessary. To be fair, he did make it clear that the penalty for fucking with the food supply is death.
"Chinese companies that helped fuel the global hoverboard craze are unraveling rapidly, after Western retailers like Amazon demanded new safety and legality standards earlier this month.

PHP makes it very easy to run web pages that need some server backend. Back in the days, everyone was using it.

Same with Ruby, was fun when there was a lot of people using the language/tooling but nowadays the action is moving to other languages that are "cool" (go, rust, haskell, ...)

As others commented here, PHP becomes a serious bottleneck as a project becomes more complex. In fact, to deal with complexity you will see PHP tackling the problems in a manner very similar to Java, but without being Java. So in the end you'd likely be better off with Java to begin with.

> You mean there are no "safety reasons" involved in cutting hair?

Ah, but this isn't really for "safety reasons", it's for "legal reasons". Sweden is widely regarded as one of the (if not the) most safety concerned countries, after all we "gave"(1) the world Volvo and Autoliv (among others). Yet the idea of regulating barbershops for safety reasons is totally alien here. We tend to trust that people have a common sense. This seems not to be the case in the US. This is mostly because of the legal system, whereas in Sweden you cannot sue someone else because you lack (or pretend to lack) common sense. In fact, the idea would never even occur to most people here.

(1) No, we're not giving away Volvos, you need to buy one yourself.
> 2. More prone to breakage due to complexity

I agree with a lot of the newer features, but it's a fact that old luxury features are now standard, (and more reliable than the old luxury features) and the regular features are more reliable than ever. Transmissions last longer, brakes last longer, engines last longer, tires last longer. Hell, tire technology has gotten so good that you actually have to do something to get a flat. It used to be that you just got flats every now and then. Not anymore.

Basically, if you want luxury features that will break at about the same rate as the luxury features on cars in the 80s, you can get them. If you want a really basic model car that doesn't have motorized doors and electrically controlled seats, you can get that, too.

And it'll get fantastic gas mileage, and it won't kill you in a car crash, either.

In particular, I think that the setup.py needs to stay right in the repo root. It's an affordance thing. It is probably the single most common way of interacting with any given package, so it should advertise itself prominently and sit right where people can most easily see it.

Similarly, I don't think that having the module scripts in the root of the repository is at all helpful for those who just want to use (and not actually contribute to) the library.

I guess it is a question of balancing the needs of different sorts of consumers. However, given that (under most circumstances) count(users) >> count(contributors), prioritising the needs of users over contributors is entirely justifiable.

One point where we agree is on the ugliness of configuration files in the repo root. After all, the following is true:
count(users) >> count(contributors) >> count(package-mantainers).
As a result, I would be quite happy to support a convention that places package configuration (and other tool configuration) files in a .config subdir:
<reporoot>/.config/.<toolname>rc

Evolution never has a reason - it just is what tends to happen :)

Having said this it is a really interesting question what could be the evolutionary force driving romantic love. My pet hypothesis is that it holds couples together long enough for their children to be too old to abandon.
Your comment about there being a dividing line is only restating "pigs are food, dogs and cats are pets" rather than offering a rationalization for why this is the case. Sure, there is a dividing line, but why is there a dividing line? What makes the parakeet so different from the chicken, the cat from the cow?

I'm familiar with the changing public opinion, but shifting public opinion does not constitute a rational basis. I assume that you would not approve of eating dogs if the practice was increasing in popularity. I also know that people don't keep nureongi as pets, but I'm not sure why you brought it up. Are suggesting that because they are specifically bred for slaughter this makes them OK to eat?

From my perspective I see a group of people trying to force their views on others. I'm intimately familiar with this story because I've seen it in many different forms. For example, for years my father and many of my friends did not have the right to marry in the US because of people just like you. Many justifications for this bigotry were offered, but in the end it all boiled down to "it makes me uncomfortable."

So, what's the rationale for why eating pigs is OK but eating cats and dogs is off limits? Is it just personal discomfort? Help me understand.
As someone who grew up in a small city where pretty much everyone was white I would have to disagree.

Large cities are no place to rise children they are cramped, expensive and highly polluted the kids may get exposed to a higher diversity of people but that is not necessary at a young age. As long as you raise your children with your own values and teach them to have and open and accepting mind it doesn't matter where they are.

I have no problem interacting with different kinds of people even though i only got exposed to such diversity after i graduated university and I could never imagine growing up in a large city it would have been awful.

Hell personally I'm trying to move to a smaller city close by to London and take up more remote work so i can actually have more breathing room.

I absolutely have the expensive, small and badly maintained spaces that tend to be the norm in large cities.

US cities are a bit different you could probably live comfortably if you are ok with needing to drive everywhere but that's ridiculous to. I don't have a driver's license I never needed one since everything I ever wanted was a walk away and if it was further I could just take public transportation even in the small city I grew up in.

Spending so much money maintaining and fuelling a car is a waste of resources.
Same way humans were differentiated by using races - ranking us lower/higher better/worse than others, that's what people do with species.

If you find the theory of evolution a fact, then you wouldn't laugh at me. Any rational evolutionary biologist will agree that species are here to simplify the conversations, they cannot be used for ranking which species are better - they are also not the main theme of research.

Do you know how species are defined? Sane definition? - members of the same species can produce a fertile offspring. But there are hundreds if not thousand of exceptions where this happens even across the species boundary - the reason why it happens is that our labeling is in its core subjective and somewhat arbitrary, there's no dividng line/plane/svm-hyperplane.

In the parallel lines of time in evolution and natural selection we've been as long as all the living beings.

You wouldn't find homo erectus (neanderthalensis, habilis, rudolfensis, ergaster, floresiensis, even some australopithecae) attractive but you could procreate. There's a biological reason why you can't have children with a horse, it's not a species reason, it's not even ingrained in our species labeling as can be seen from the above definition.

What, you would rank the being as irrelevant (or less relevant) if you can't have children with it? Comedy of irrationality.

Go try finding your rationality and get back to us on that.
This isn't true.

Fortunately I don't own a hoverboard, but I do own a Vauxhall Zafira car and there have been reports of them catching fire recently. Huge product recall, but does make you think.

There's also the matter that a huge number of hoverboard sales are fraudulent with stolen credit cards. Add this to safety issues, and they're just not worth sticking your neck out to sell them.
Agreed realistically there will always things that limit your productive time, and that's normal, although management will try to push against that. The question is from a company policy point of view. E.g. new policy "Employees are allowed 3 smoke breaks a day , or they may use an e-sig at their desk."
If E-cigarettes produce smoke or perfume or any vapour then no as it could be uncomfortable for colleagues with asthma.
Have you ever smelled something that evoked a really vivid memory? Where every detail of a past experience was suddenly brought to the foreground in your memory? Maybe a certain kind of perfume reminds you of a past girlfriend or something like that.

In my experience, that's what people are talking about when they talk about "acid flashbacks". It's just that you tend to form very strong memories while tripping. It's not dangerous and it's not something unique to psychedelics.

Integrated to what exactly? You are never going to be integrated with people that want you to speak the local language, even if you do speak it. The thing is, once you leave your country, you are an expat, an expat doesn't do well with people that want to force their local/close minded way of doing things on you.

There are values that are the same across all Europe and those should be the focus of integration. Learning local language is not one of them.

As far as I know the percentage of hoverboards that catch fire can also be low. It may be just that RC hobbyists usually don't post pictures of their flaming batteries on Facebook with a comment that they are a terrible fire hazard and demand to be taken off the market.

For what anecdotal evidence is worth, I know of one house fire and one car fire due to lithium batteries among the members of my local RC club.

Indeed. Public trust is an important shared resouce, and like any other shared resouce vulnerable to people who want to asset-strip it for a profit.

That's a correlation, but the causal relationship is the other way around. Unions form after a country industrializes as a response to income and wealth inequality. So you're comparing the income and wealth of already industrialized countries which subsequently developed trade unions with presumably countries that haven't industrialized yet.

Indeed in the Scandinavian countries you're citing, excessive trade unionism, among other illiberal measures, in the 80s and early 90s led to economic crisis. There were economic reforms in the mid 90s which restored economic growth by paring back the role of the state and trade unions.

I've seen the process many times, for many 'cheap' chinese produts.

They first design (or more often copy) a product, then they start removing the bits that 'aren't needed' -- like filtering caps and so on; sometime even fuses in power supplies, and pretty much ANYTHING they can save $.0002 on.

So when the first 'wave' of the product appears, you actually have a pretty good chance of having something of good quality/value -- however very quickly it degenerates into a pile of fire-hazard or device-destructing poo.

The rule #1 of buying cheap gadget is ALWAYS TAKING IT APART before even plugging it in or trying it. There are no alternatives. Often you can tweak it to make it safe/good, but sometime, it's instant return.
