Open sourcing their projects is good from a PR standpoint in this climate, and if anything it's a good way to share knowledge that would otherwise be kept within the company walls with those who need it (e.g. implementors of PHP/other VMs).

Creating and maintaining a community around an open source project is a lot of work, and it's understandable if Facebook doesn't want to pour many resources into this particular project, even if they keep it open source.

How Effective Is Selenium for Penetration Testing
Yes, in my experience on coding PHP & Java is that everything is so cumbersome in Java with little gain coding wise (there are of course other benefits with Java)

Hard to move code around, comment out code, prototyping, create samples of data structures etc.

What is important on a large project is enforcing contracts, if it is on function calls, HTTP calls, database calls etc.

With function calls you have type hinting in many dynamic languages, with that you can catch most type errors & avoid writing some tests.

How the types work within the function body is quite irrelevant.

And statically typed languages have recognized this by adding var, auto & what not.
That's not a quick fix though, you have to start with people who are five years old right now then see the benefits in twenty or more years.

I think humility of knowing how little any single individual knows, and how much "details" matter, would be much better attitude for everyone to take, rather than thinking the truth is easy, even for seemingly basic stuff.
Semmelweis "the medical pioneer whose unyielding adherence to principles of hygiene may have been responsible for the deaths of millions. Sure, he saved lots of people, but it’s conceivable that the practice of routine hand-washing in surgical theatres might have spread farther, and faster, if the man had never been born (and therefore never antagonized so much of the medical establishment with his rigidity and brusqueness, and therefore never put hand-washing in such bad odor)."

I don't think that saying the writer here 'simply states that it is "conceivable" that Semmelweis' attitude (whether warranted or not) may have negatively impacted his message' is a reasonable interpretation of that passage, to say the least. (I also can't see that it "clearly assumes" what you say it does. You probably wouldn't link to the guy's wikipedia page if you assume people know not only who he is but the background too)

What was his 'attitude'? It drove him nuts that no-one would listen?

A gazillion lines of code running on a few million servers has an inertia that takes more than a few years of stagnation to kill, even if newer languages get a lot more hype. There's still plenty of Perl in the wild, including in some pretty mission critical deployments, and Perl was declared dead 15 years ago (with PHP being the alleged killer).

Likewise, millions of people still work in Java, C, C++, Ruby, and many others, despite there being newer languages with more momentum behind them. PHP will be around for years, even if there were never a new PHP project started from this day forward (but there will be new PHP projects started after today). So, sure, it's dying, but it's not dead yet and likely won't be for decades.

This really goes against what the spirit of these sorts of laws should be.

The 18 barrier to age of majority is treated as a threshold, sure, but the reality of people is they mature in different ways and over longer periods of time. I (and my culture I guess) considered myself an adult by 16 or 17 whilst friends I know didn't consider themselves adults until 22 or 23. The thing I know is under the law, everyone needs to be held to the same standard, but does a day an adult make? Is that seriously the argument they make there?

Biologically and psychologically, we know that a day doesn't age someone, maturation occurs on a longer timescale. The thing is 18 as a threshold is not as important as how responsible, aware, and independent a person is. I know that's a harder thing to measure, but when we confuse the map for the territory, instead of actually using the law as intended, we play these weird legal games.

I hate hackathons.

Hackathons represent everything that's wrong with development. People put no time in to really think about an idea (just go with what sounds 'best' in the 15 minutes at the start), no time to plan (code the first approach that sounds like it'll work), an unhealthy environment without sleep, exercise or decent food (pizza and beer are ace, but they're not healthy), and as the article says, usually no buy in from managers or team mates afterwards. Plus they tend to be exclusionary because anyone with a family or responsibilities, or who needs a good night's sleep, is effectively excluded from a team because they're going to miss a big part of that 24 hours.

It's quite incredible that a health startup like Oscar Health would actually encourage hackathons.
Does it? I got a chance to take a look inside and I'm no longer sure about it. Corruption is rampant (not in relation to academic results, but other things like employment, grants etc), favourism is flourishing, and huge amount of money is wasted instead of used to help the students. I personally blame the lack of monetary incentives.

Is it perhaps possible that this comment is about the EU specifically because the EU specifically is the subject of this particular conversation? After all, this is about a law the EU specifically is choosing to pursue, rather than some broader worldwide trend.

Commenting narrowly on just the EU implies nothing, in any way, shape, form, or manner, about other entities.
The reason is not a moralizing one, it came into being when the registries were less than perfect to avoid bigamy. It probably could be abandoned in the present day without any loss of functionality but it definitely was not codified into law for moralizing reasons.
"Accept our terms or do your business elsewhere" is how markets have always operated.

It's not "blackmailing" and it's not "forcing your consent." The EU looks like it's turning more and more into a non-free regime. And your comment, among many others, signals that it's exactly what many Europeans want. Which is sad.
Any country that legislates against free speech ans freedom of expression with such a brutal and blunt law such as this should be considered a failed experiment.

> We do not plan to standardize how browsers should treat these special cases in their UI

This is a statement from the Chrome team; from Google. Since when does Google unilaterally decide on what it will or will not standardise in other browsers?

Standardisation is a multi-stakeholder collaborative process. This sounds very much like Google representatives don't view it as such. Given their dominant market position, that's a worrying sign.
IANAL, but given this case is in an ACT court the ACT’s Legislation Act 2001 [0] (perhaps better named than ‘Acts Interpretation Act 1901’) is probably the more relevant piece of legislation in this case, and defines a ‘month’ like this:

"month" means a period beginning at the start of any day of one of the calendar months and ending—

(a) immediately before the start of the corresponding day of the next calendar month; or

(b) if there is no such corresponding day—at the end of the next calendar month.

Examples

1 The period beginning at the start of 8 May 2014 and ending at midnight on 7 June 2014 is a month.

2 The period beginning at the start of 30 January 2014 and ending at midnight on 28 February 2014 is a month. The month ends on the last day of February because in that year, February does not have a day corresponding to 29 January (because 2014 is not a leap year). If the period began at the start of 30 January 2016 (ie a leap year), the month would end at midnight on 29 February 2016.

Note: An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

Example 2 is extremely relevant.

I really don't understand this meme. Most of the non-Anglosphere developed world has free or very low-cost education. Typically they aren't full-inclusive luxury resorts like colleges in the U.S., but they do provide good educations for 95% of the population.

The idea that the U.S., the single wealthiest country in the history of civilization, "can't afford" to make college affordable is just plain wrong. In fact, it was affordable until just a few decades ago. The only reason it isn't affordable now is because the profit motive has been introduced into a space where it doesn't belong.
Speaking of fragmentation, we still have 3/4 of users on PHP 5.x, and support for v5.6 (the last 5.x release) is coming to an end soon!
The problems you described aren't helped by making colleges not free.

Specifically,

> huge amount of money is wasted instead of used to help the students

is arguably worse in the US - and it's the students' money.
Where I come from (Slovenia) you only pay for college when your grades aren’t good enough to get in for real or you have to retake exams. Universities don’t even accept colleges that take tuition and people take your degree less seriously if you go to one of those.

The perception is that paying tuition would misalign incentives and harm learning because how can a business fail a customer? Imagine taking 6 figures from someone and then saying “No, sorry, you flunk out”

Works pretty well and yes I know we pay with taxes and that’s okay. That’s what taxes are for: public good.
>> students there can graduate in CS on a course based on Java at his institution without ever having to demonstrate a program actually

That is absoluteley not limited to China. There are some CS grads that can't write code, and that doesn't mean they are idiots. I studied with some of them. Some are actually more inclined to abstract theoretical problems and are not very good at implementation. Others just learn by memorizing everything and never gotten the hang of analyzing and solving a problem.

>> Apparently it’s all theoretical

Well... yes, for me that is what CS really is about. You don't need a computer to do CS at all. All you need is a pen, a paper and some knowlegde of formal systems. In my opinion, a college/university is not the place to go to for learning how to code.
Maybe they can move other processors to be manufactured by them if it's cost effective.

What about providing concrete examples and citations for your claims? How did you take a look inside exactly? What did you compare it to?
Is it not true that there's only one mating male in each pride, and that the others are exiled into bachelor groups?

In any case, there are many examples in nature where a small percentage of the males do a very disproportionate amount of the mating.
I don't think this is significantly different between European and American and universities.

Your argument was probably downvoted because you didn't support your claim very well, and blaming everything on the invisible hand is not a popular dogma.
