The difference is in handling though. If a config file runs into a BOM, it's likely to tell you on which column and row (0,1) it broke. Same when you compile something. Or it may even recognise the BOM and handle it transparently.

PHP does something different. It outputs it early and when you try to send a header it tells you that's too late. That error is in no way helpful to you at that point unless you already know about this issue, and it won't even help you figure out which file was affected. That part is specific to PHP.

I'm not familiar with Lua pages, but all I can find uses a http / fastcgi server with explicit routing. ASP classic has its own terrible ideas and it's close to death now - 2025 is the last year MS committed to support it, so I don't really think of it as an interesting language anymore.

A380 development started in earnest in 2000, it first flew in 2005. It seems reasonable that we could have a jumbo jet designed in 2035 fly in 2040.

The B52 is still flying, but a bomber doesn't need to be economical to operate like an airliner has to. The US military can't be said to have a limited fuel budget.

Sure, airliners operate for decades, but when they're bought they're state of the art. The A380 isn't economical to operate now.
Hmm, I'm sorry... I'm having trouble understanding your point, and specifically how it relates to my comment.
You haven't given any reason to think that. I've already addressed why intention is not necessary for the critique. Are you aware of ideas such as structural violence, for instance?

Imagine if you lived in a society in which the idea of liberty simply didn't exist, and the intentions of those in charge were good intentions (as far as they know), and those in charge were numerous, or even the whole populace. Would you call this potentially totalitarian?

Why is capitalism totalitarian? Because it creates a totality in which all life is absorbed, from the economic foundation of society (even you would agree), but also to the way we do science, create art and how we interact with other people.
YAML is a generic format which leaves formatting as a result of effect to you. Ansible puts rules on top of it, which makes intendation not always trivial, it is easy to have an dangling key value pair which doesn't cause an error, but has only an effect with the right intendation.

With the amount of TLS vulnerabilities I don't really understand why we're not just replacing it completely. From what I've read a lot of the issues is the complexity of the standard itself that we could do much better now that so much more is known about good crypto practice. Google has already pushed HTTP 2 and now 3 thanks to having very sizeable chunks of both the browser and the sites. Why not also have a much better designed crypto standard in one of those efforts?
I'll be honest, I didn't believe you at first so I went and tested some JSON against a few YAML parsers and it's completely true.

This is insane. I already knew writing a YAML unmashaller was a needlessly complicated affair - and that was before I realised this could happen.
I haven't touched symphony from 1.2 but laravel was a lot simpler to use, especially for begginers. no stupid yaml files, the need to definine everything in yaml before. simpler orm and so on.
> what more care do you need?

1. Generic typehints, for one. Typehinting half the methods as returning a generic `array` is not fun.

2. And that's before you even remember that PHP's array is both a vector and a hashmap, so you need to install a PECL extension or a third-party library to get proper Map/Sequence/etc.
This is how tips work in virtually every country other than the US though. Tips are still a thing, but they're optional because minimum wage is the same for serving staff as it is for everyone else.

In fairness, that documentation makes the process out to be far more complicated than it actually is in reality. Plus their point about errors being difficult to debug can be equally true with other data formats too (eg some JSON parses can throw really unhelpful errors if you accidentally include a comma at the end of list)

I'd recommend the author to try a magic trackpad 2. I used to hate trackpads in general, but once I tried this one, I never looked back at mouses.

Now that is a priveleged statement. This certainly isn't the case for people who make less money, like say waiting staff for example.
I might be part of the problem but I agree. I find it disconcerting having to turn the volume on my headphones up to 50% or higher just to hear a movie when that amount of amplification on music or standard Youtube content would blow my eardrums out... and occasionally almost does when I forget I had my volume turned up.

Please don't use "High German" in English to mean (some perceived) "Standard German". It's bad (and incorrect) enough to use "Hochdeutsch" in German, but "High German" has a specific meaning in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_German_languages and the dialect spoken in Hannover is not in fact a High German one.

Anybody using SVN anymore for anything not leftover/"because it has always been SVN"?

Subversion is actively maintained and gets new features regularly. Is there no audience using this neat piece of software?

I have to admit I just moved a +10y old website which still was maintained via SVN (very linear development model, no branching) to GitHub, but this has mostly sociopolitical reasons (visibility, push requests, invitations to fork). For certain use cases, SVN feels for me as good as it was 10 years ago.

> The only thing you should skip in both frameworks are 'annotations'. But this is easy to do.

If you are using Doctrine the only alternative to docblock annotations is XML because they are deprecating YAML support.
I really hope they build support in the language itself. I can't understand their fierce opposition to a feature every other major object oriented language has. They are only forcing a large part of the ecosystem, everything that is Symfony or Doctrine based, to use the horrible docblock work around.
> I can't wait for tipping culture to end - it's just a way for service workers to be abused in a multitude of ways.

I agree that tips as a substitute for wages should end, and that expectations of non-zero baseline tips should end.

However, I feel that tips as incentives for good service should absolutely continue. (Either that, or real-time rating systems visible to the employer, but I'm not sure that outcome would be preferable.)

America is really weird that way. It’s not just tips. Even tax may not be calculated until you go to the cashier.

Tips are stupid because everyone deserves to have at least a minimum wage. If they do a job they should get paid. They shouldn’t be held hostage to people who think they didn’t do their job to the standard of some random person.

How far can Prisma take you? (in February 2019)
Nuh-huh.

What happens is something approximately like this:

Saudi military intelligence puts through a request via appropriate channels to the Five Eyes for a tap on some low-profile woman's phone, claiming it's necessary in pursuit of a counter-terrorism objective. This ends up with GCHQ rather than NSA (NSA spies on Brits, Brits spy on Americans, they work at adjacent desks and share info: this is the traditional work-around for laws banning domestic spying) who happily hand over the contents of a foreign POIs phone to an allied intel agency.

Nobody at any senior level has a clue what's going on under cover of surveillance: stuff like this happens thousands of times a day. Meanwhile, the Saudi officer in charge of the kompromat on Bezos now has the dodgy photos off his girlfriend's phone ...

If GCHQ doesn't work, route through some other allied SIGINT agency with cooperation via NSA, preferably in a country where the Khashoggi thing is just another "foreigners doing horrible things to each other" back page story and nobody has a clue about Jeff Bezos' divorce.

TLDR: the global war on terror has given us a global hairball of inter-tangled intelligence sharing arrangements, and these can be manipulated for pleasure and profit by any sufficiently corrupt party who is plugged in to it.
It doesn't strike me as wrong, just as a bit unhandy. The explanatory Nebensatz that is started with a relative pronoun that refers to the object that is about to be explained can always start directly after the object, and sometimes even must start there. For example:

It's far from clear, though.

How much to tip? And to what businesses? If someone leaves out a tip jar at a taco bell, does that mean you have to tip them, and should the amount be different? By how much?

Also, if you don't leave a tip, it doesn't explain what part of the service was unsatisfactory. Was the food bad? The dishes dirty? Did the waitress not refill your coffee quick enough? Or maybe the customer was bigoted against the servers, or just forgot.
That’s only true if your last playing audio app isn’t killed in the background in the interim. If it’s gone the next time your HU asks for music, Apple Music gets used instead. So infuriating.

I would disagree with that, a significant number of people think that Mr Trump is dependant on their _money_ and is ashamed to admit it, more than anything else.

It's a fact that Mr Trump has been bankrupt six times. It's a fact that he has not shown his tax returns. His business dealing with Russia are under investigation.

I agree, food for me is a crutch to self-medicate for anxiety - I haven't gotten to the point where I've got a professional to actually prescribe me something, since I am functioning, I can live my life, I can work, I'm mostly a productive member of society. But I'm slowly killing myself for it.

I've found the medical professionals I've talked to hesitant to give me psychopharmaca. I've excercised in the past and had my weight drop for months but just like OP, I couldn't turn it around permanently. Once stress starts mounting I'm back to not watching what I eat and discontinue things like going out for a run.
Review of two groundbreaking articles about microbiome and probiotics
>We live in a time of high-quality low-cost devices that play music much better than anything your parents could have bought without spending a month's grocery money.

Is that really the case? I've got some late 70s / early 80s Fisher speakers that sound almost as good as the best bookshelf speakers you can buy today. I rather enjoy the sound more than the JBL 305P studio monitors. While the Fishers are less precise, they're more enjoyable to listen to. (The trick is to put them on a desk at an angle the same way you would for studio monitors, and turn them upside down so the treble stays at ear level.)

I can't imagine Fisher costing an arm and a leg back then, and back then Fisher speakers were sold at normal electronic stores, while today high end audio has to be bought at specialty stores like Guitar Center or online. Today if you go to a Best Buy, they'll have some thousand dollar home theater speaker setup that could sound better. The average consumer thinks that is what top of the line is and sounds like, when in fact they're being sold a lie.

High end speakers were once accessible and advertised to the masses, unlike today. Today you have to be a specialist, an "audiophile", or some other niche title.

In an ever increasing mobile world, mobile speakers have taken over. While some of the in ear headphones are amazing, and I hope this trend continues, it will be a while -- if ever -- when we get portable speakers that sound decent. One of the problems is the direction of the sound, and the other is the Bluetooth compression itself leaving manufacturers to make their speakers fuzzy to counter the compression.

Actually with Dhall, you should be able to compare the programs themselves, even without full "input" (there is even example on the Dhall page, see "You can reduce functions to normal form, even when they haven't been applied to all of their arguments").

So you can for example leave some parameters out of your config and still validate the correctness of refactoring.

If you use general purpose programming language, then even comparing just output might be difficult - most languages allow to do I/O, so it's possible that the configuration is dependent on some side channel.

I would say if you are only using general language "sensibly" for configuration then you are effectively restricting yourself in the same way that Dhall does.
I think the parent is objecting to the fact that annotations spray this "external" information right in the middle of the controller/model. FWIW, decent tools let you put this info in separate configuration files instead of code annotations, "decoupling" it from the code.

Your problem is that you're using a bad trackpad with Windows; the fact that your computer has a bad trackpad and you're using Windows doesn't make trackpads bad.

Also many of the things you complain about would be solved if you learnt to use your keyboard instead of using mouse gestures.
I’m not sure how that’s true when the article mentions that they’re leaking users’ personal data like credit cards and so forth. Also it seems Apple just released a “cease and desist” due to privacy on this front.

Reading this makes me appreciate my Magic Trackpad even more.

I hated trackpads for years, until I was forced to use a Magic Trackpad lying around when my mouse broke. After a week I was a convert and I haven't used a mouse for years.

Clicking and dragging with one hand, easy, right clicking easy, precision stuff in Photoshop, etc, no problem.. it's nothing like a typical PC trackpad at all, indeed it should probably be considered an entirely separate type of product.

Of course, different strokes for different folks too! I know people who swear by trackballs or those weird "nipple" things in the middle of IBM laptops and I couldn't get my head around either.

Apologies for the snark but my original comment was intended to say "profit of 1 million a year"; my shorthand of "generate" inadvertently created some shade of gray and I might have been well served to simply clarify.

Then I thought about it and said to thyself, "actually, a million is a lot either way." I've actually founded two companies that grossed over a million in a year (one at about 40% gross, 5% net and one closer to 75/65) and both times have required a whole lot of work.

So my fault for being vague, not intended.
I was thinking the same thing. I really enjoyed reading a candid perspective of the process, but think there's more that can be done.

You almost need a second page 'GumroadTunes' where I can browse all the products. I strongly suspect there is a lot I'd be interested in, but it isn't in one place. The website justifiably focusses on the product for creators, but since there are a lot of thinm, it also feels like you could be driving more traffic/sales to them, and by extension yourself.

Again though, thanks for the interesting read (and the comments too - also interesting to read).
Maybe you just need a better trackpad implementation. On macOS:

- Right click: tap with two fingers.

- Move pointer while button is pressed: quickly tap twice to press button, move finger on trackpad, press a third time to release. (Although, this behavior is not the default and has to be activated in the system settings.)

Personally, I've been using trackpads for 13 years now and I prefer them over mice. I use an external trackpad at home.

One of my favourite visits was to Ani - a massive deserted ruined city in the middle of nowhere on the Anatolian steppe, we encountered literally only two other tourists and an utterly bored looking shepherd boy with a few sheep in several hours walking around, awed by this incredible lost settlement and the eerie atmosphere of the place, with thousand year old ruins scattered and decaying uncared for, and the barely audible sound of a bulldozer building a Russian gun emplacement across the Armenian border about half a mile away.
