It's amazing how much detail is required to fully answer that question... and it comes right down to the hardware that browser is on.

I think most of the time when people ask this question, they're really only looking for a protocol level answer, they're not looking at you getting into the nitty gritty of comms signals and the 7 layer OSI model and BGP and frame relay protocols. Some layers are more fascinating than others...and depending on who you're talking to, the level of focus you give each layer can vary. But you could quite easily drown someone with information.

The tragedy of this is that you kind of need to understand the big picture before any of the details become clear. In much the same way you learn the detail of math without ever understanding the big picture and consequently a lot of people fail to feel good at math because they just don't get it. It's not until you have sufficient vocabulary until the grammar becomes clear.

It's easier to learn the web than math from the top down because all the pieces are reasonably easy to interact with and there are easy to obtain tools to allow you to pick apart just about everything to help you understand what is going on under the covers... except for the BaseBand radio on your cell phone, that's a virtual black box that the phone manufacturers don't want you picking apart. Tools for this are beginning to become available as hackers manage to find ways to reverse engineer them too.
"If Bitcoin was released before online banking, would you have said the same?"

That's a non-sequitor, because as long as the world is 'online' there can effectively be 'online banking'.

And of course we need 'online' to have Bitcoin.

When we purchased our mattress ( a Vi-Spring ) the store only accepted our order after we had lain on a matching configuration in-store for 20 mins. Or was it 30?

If felt odd lying in the middle of a shop but apparently it was the only way to enable the softness-exchange warranty. We could switch up or down one softness grade but had to find the starting grade like that.

Until now the destruction of jobs through progress has never reduced the amount of work we needed altogether. For instance think about how the development of transportation created dozens of new jobs actually, and brought us in many regards onto new levels that wouldn't have been even imaginable before. I wouldn't worry too much about something that might not be just-bad and instead try to figure out what can be done with the changes that we already see. E.g. all this nice virtualization and automation means it's so much easier to share code and changes and ideas, and helps us communicate over borders, language barriers, etc.
Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls for New Privacy Law That Would Let You Delete Your Data
> I noted that myself, rather suspiciously western media failed to cover it at the time. I can find the text for the bill and prove that he signed it via official government sources but business insider is the only reasonably reputable source that covered in the US to my knowledge. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to assert that it does what they say it does but it leaves me skeptical.

The take you're promoting seems to have originated with Buzzfeed, then got picked up by BusinessInsider and amplified by Russia Today. Given that it's pretty unbelievable that there's a coordinated Western-media conspiracy to suppress it, my bet is that take has some major flaws and/or there's less to it the take makes it seems.

Based on some quick Googling, the law that was modified was the one that authorizes The Voice of America and related organizations, and (according to Wikipedia) the prohibitions on its US dissemination were originally put in place because some Congressmen in the 40s thought the State Department was full of commies (really).

This NY Times from 2018 gives some perspective (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/technology/facebook-ads-p...). VOA is still not permitted to advertise to Americans, and it characterized the law RT was writing about as:

> As with all affiliates of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is governed by the Smith-Mundt Act, a 1948 law that banned government-funded media outlets from disseminating their content inside the United States. The law was amended in 2014 to allow state-funded media organizations to distribute their content “upon request” to American viewers.

It seems that it amounted to giving organizations like the VOA permission to send their content to individual Americans who ask for it. It seems like prior to that it was available "for examination only."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%80%93Mundt_Act#Provis...

I would only be skeptical of something based on an RT story if you actually do the digging yourself to see if there's really a there there. In this case, I don't think there is.

And most companys see in the IT just a cost factor. So they don't invest really in automation. They mostly just invest in creating even more data for marketing and other funny guys.

There is also the problem, if the IT is far away, the smallest problem needs "tickets" and days to solve and it will be never possible to automate something with a selfmade script, because your just a user and have no rights.

Will you receive X weeks of pay from your current company if they let you go?

I would start interviewing and try to get a start date setup that is a month out so you can possibly receive your exit package from your current company and then start your new job.

You said you've been looking for 4 years, reach out to your network, almost every development job I have found is by knowing someone at the company to give you an intro. So comb your network to find someone who works at a company with an opening you can fill.

If it's the company who purchased you's MO to acquire then off shore everyone knows this is a possibility.

If you need to tell someone, keep talking to your wife or another developer who doesn't know your team.

Your team is just a cog in a wheel to the company, they will swap you out for a less expensive cog, so you're going to need to find a new company.

They might offer part of your team to stick around during a transition period, that might give you a buffer/extra time to find a new job. Even if it's 2 weeks or 2 months that could help.

Good luck with the job hunt.
I'll preface my comment saying that my experience with docker is relatively light. But PHP is probably the one language/environment where using docker makes a lot of sense (vs others like node). There's a lot of versions of PHP and more importantly, anyone who's worked with PHP from the ground up knows, there's a lot of PHP modules you have to install to the system, as each project makes use of different libraries (especially ones coming from PECL etc.). Nowadays a lot of stuff are on composer instead, but there's still enough modules that don't come by a default yum/apt-get/pacman install of PHP, that are commonly used. I have side projects that I started years ago where I have to list out all the PHP extensions I use in the readme so I know what to install to get them working. Docker lets you get by all of that.

In contrast with other languages like nodejs, you can almost always just use nvm to switch to the desired node version for the project, do a npm install, and it will just run. For something like that, there's a lot less need of docker for dev.

Swiss Scientists Trained Their Dog-Like Robot to Better Fend Off Humans
Conspiracy aside, AWS is most likely profiling all of its customers code bases and coming up with patterns as in what domain their applications are being used for etc. In order to capture that low-code/no-code type of market they don;t have to do any market research when the research is already sitting with them. It is pretty genius from a business point of view but yes can become very concerning for mid-tire programmers as the article states.
I'm not convinced about Amazon. It's very difficult to find out what things I'm even subscribed to. In most cases they refuse to send emails/invoices before/after any recurring charge (amazon music, any of the addon streaming channels, the cloud storage plans, etc.), and the charges on my credit card are indistinguishable from "normal" amazon charges.

Netflix does make it easy. Last time I canceled they didn't even ask why.

> PHPStorm's XDebug integration is second to none, it has full MySQL integration, and it's autocomplete and click-through intelligence is incredibly smart.

Support for XDebug exists in all modern editors - Atom, Sublime, NetBeans, etc. etc. If you "waste" some time on customizing your editor auto-completion feature you might will get a really decent one (in aforementioned editors).

I must say PHPStorm had a superior look-for-file (think: Ctrl+P) feature which really gets annoying in other editors if you get used to it.

About the MySQL integration: I was really positively surprised having it in the IDE but I've stopped using it as soon as my colleague told me about the HeidiSQL [0]. For person who was using SQL Management Studio at university, HeidiSQL offered the same feel - fast, lean and simple to use but also it is free and installation in Linux (wine) or macOS does not take much time. It is probably the best application written in Pascal that I know about.

You should probably give intelliJ more ram. By default it's less than 1 gb. I gave it 4gb and I haven't had any issues since.
This is a good answer. I was talking to someone at a company that actually used questions like this.

He asked me a question like "You're shrunk down to a couple inches in height and put inside a blender. How do you escape?"

My response was "Is there anything else in the blender? Can I see anything nearby?"

He told me that I "already passed", but if it was an interview, we'd probably have a 1 or 2 minute conversation about it and then move on. The fact that I didn't start rattling off ideas, but instead asked smart questions, was what he was looking for.

It's easier to take a measure of someone if they can't figure out what they're being judged on. If they know how they're being judged, they optimize for just that one thing.
==Thus it would likely suffice to just use federal prosecutions to burn the corruption out of the local governments, remove the legacies of past corruption, and let the remaining citizens try again from scratch.==

Why isn't the solution to use federal investigators to determine why certain states aren't paying enough taxes to cover their costs? That sounds kind of "corrupt" to me.
LEGO collecting doesn't always work out.

I snatched up all the classic Bill Cosby Lego's I could find in 2013, thinking I could get ahead of a trend when they announced a new Lego version of The Cosby Show that was supposed to come out in 2014.

That show never came out, and Cosby's popularity isn't exactly what is was. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some sort of morbid Lego fan interest but so far it hasn't materialized.

My tech friends bough Crypto in 2013. I bought Cosby. Lesson learned.

In 20+ years of development, including 12 doing cross platform C work, two maintaining a bespoke development environment for Windows Mobile (compiler, VM, IDE, etc.), I've only once had what I consider a problem that needed any type of complex CS algorithm.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Dick was physically abusive with his third wife, Anne Williams Rubinstein; after one argument in 1963, he attempted to push her off a cliff in a car, then later claimed she was trying to kill him, and convinced a psychiatrist to commit her involuntarily. After filing for divorce in 1964, he moved to Oakland to live with a fan, Grania Davis. Shortly after, he attempted suicide by driving off the road while she was a passenger.

In the state of Oregon, they can't prosecute car thieves, unless they literally catch them in the process of breaking in. (or the thief confesses to stealing the car) All they have to say, is they borrowed it from a friend, and didn't realize it was stolen.

If a user disputed a charge that was presented in that way, then the chargeback isn't fraudulent IMHO. The user didn't know that the charge was recurring.

Services shouldn't be telling users a charge is recurring, users should be telling websites that they want to auto-renew.
The default should always be a non-recurring charge and selecting anything else should require an email confirmation.

That is indeed what it does, and as such also bans partial contribution. Most of the models I've seen where time and money is spent on FOSS contributions are the kind where not all changes are upstreamed because they are kept internal or secret.

Say for example GitLab was AGPL, their model of having a Community Edition and an Enterprise Edition would no longer be possible, because the EE directly links to and consumes software from the CE code.

Having a EE and CE version of a product is one of the few remaining models that still enable fruitful enterprise and FOSS combinations. The support-only or maintenance-only models are very rarely successful. The former isn't possible with the AGPL and the latter is, but is simply bound to so much risk and so few successes that it's basically bleeding to death or an existing enterprise, with nothing in between.

To be honest, plenty of languages that allow bad behaviour could be classed as hell including C and C++ but done well, all of the main framework languages can also be nice.

PHP has its origins in scripting rather than what traditional developers might consider a "real" language but as a C# developer, I often turn to PHP for my web "sites" as it is plays much nicer with front-end frameworks and using a framework like Yii2 does most of my heavy lifting.
