eh my problem with php never really was performance (up to a point) or the language itself, it was the default library making figuring out every operation an exercise in googling

like, why the weird _ difference between strtok and str_split, why str_replace has the search first and string as third parameter but in strpos the source string is the first parameter and then the search term the second

it's all confusing and weird and while someone that's a specialist is maybe at ease with this, for a generalist going in and out the language as needed it's frustrating.

Indeed, SAM and serverless framework serve the same overall purpose. It's mostly a matter of whether you prefer CloudFormation (SAM) or serverless' configuration format. I have mostly used serverless, but there are some posts out there comparing the two in detail, such as: https://sanderknape.com/2018/02/comparing-aws-sam-with-serve...
BeSuspiciousOfSuccess a.k.a. a Review of “Modeling Adversaries with TLA+”
There are tools such as Klipfolio and Grow but you're only limited using their UI to build the reports. That's always limiting no matter how flexible their language & UI is and larger companies tend to build their own data-warehouse to be able to query the data using SQL without any limit.

That's why Periscope, Looker and Mode Analytics are quite popular. There are also open-source tools that help you to ingest the data to your database such as Singer.io. Once you have all your data in raw format, you can model your data and power your BI without any limitation.

Bitnami has worked with all three cloud providers - I was in at least one video meeting with them when I was at Google on the GCP team. (To be clear, I haven't worked for Google in over 4 years and am speaking only for myself here.)

I suspect there are Bitnami offerings in Google's marketplace too - most things in that marketplace are built by third parties such as Bitnami, but unlike for Amazon's marketplace Google does view themselves as the reseller of the products offered there.

Bitnami does require applying updates via e.g. apt-get, as mentioned in another reply from someone else. I wonder if their GCE images follow Google's norm of turning on automatic security updates by default, as do most regular Google-supported GCE operating system images. No idea.

And to further complicate it, the smaller a risk, the worse we are at estimating it.

Investigations after the Challenger Disaster revealed that engineers at NASA thought the space shuttle had a 1/100 failure rate per mission, while managers thought the shuttle had a 1/10,000 failure rate.
To understand that, you have to take a closer look at its origins. For me, this talk by Rasmus Lerdorf (creator of PHP) was a real eye-opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvEGwtgLtjA He mentions that what we now refer to as the "PHP language" was originally intended to be only the templating system, and you were supposed to write your business logic in a "real language" such as C. However, as PHP got more popular, bits and pieces were added until the "templating system" became a full-fledged language. Sounds like this happened more by chance than by design. And because you can't throw all of that out, it shows until today. You can introduce new features, but doing that in a way that stays (more or less) backwards compatible is difficult and forces compromises - see type declarations, which are actually just type hinting and of very limited use. So sure, PHP is wildly popular because of its "first mover" status, so it will probably stay with us for the foreseeable future, and working in it may have become more pleasant over the years thanks to better tooling, but it will unfortunately never be as pleasant as in other, more well-designed languages.

If you commit crimes like Assange, claim you did so in the public interest, and then hide from the consequences, you are merely a criminal. If you commit crimes like Martin Luther King Jr, claim you did so in the public interest, and then sit in jail and let the public see your suffering in the face of injustice, you are a civili dissident. Assange is a whiny criminal, not a hero.

"An android App falsely charged me on the Play store."

I'm curious to know how this happened. Would you mind sharing more info?

As I understand it, the only way for an app to 'charge you on the play store' is to:

1) Be a paid app (in which case you pay before the app starts installing), or

2) via in-app purchases, which are handled by the app initiating the IAP, and then Play services taking over to ask for confirmation.

In either case, the transaction is only confirmed by a user action (tapping a button) with the app having no control.

Sure, it's possible for an Android app to trick you, by covering everything apart from the button with something fake, but I'd be surprised if such an app found its way into the Play Store.
It's a feedback loop all right, but some parts of it are easier to nudge than others. Policy tends to be fixed, as it's based on fixed characteristics of human brain and fixed phenomena like those explored in game theory. More effort put into politicking will not yield better results (EDIT: it might do some good; see downthread). Technology is mutable, in the sense that more effort (and money) put into it yields meaningful change, that can also shift policy.

Note that your argument right now boils down to "we need to invest more in right technology"; while the decision is political, it's literally the opposite of what people mean when they say something is a "political problem" and not a "technological problem".

I think you've misunderstood the Mill quote. Immediately preceding the quote you used:

> the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection.

He's saying that others cannot compel someone to do things, even if it is for their own good. They may only interfere for their own self protection. This implies and supports the right to self defence.

Ending the paragraph containing the quote you provided:

> In the part [of his conduct] which merely concerns him, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

This does not in any way limit or argue against the effectiveness or right to self defence but instead, again, supports it. I'd encourage you to read On Liberty as, in my opinion, it is the greatest modern philosophical work.

All it takes is a compelling case that eating a plant-heavy diet is in my best interests, which is easy: plants taste great and they're healthy.

My contention is with the vocal minority of extremists who evangelize plant-only diets as the only right way to live, even though they aren't necessarily better. These people resort to less effective, morality based arguments to sway others (let's face it, most people care more about eating tasty food than saving the environment), indicating that their real concern isn't moving the needle on meat consumption, it's asserting their moral superiority in order to gain status among their peers.

A pragmatist would use effective tools to reduce the average person's meat consumption by 75% and that would solve a lot of problems. They'd cook healthy vegetable heavy dinners for their friends, or maybe promote pork/chicken instead of beef since those generate fewer emissions. A fanatic proclaims that the only solution is eliminating all meat consumption, and the fate of the earth is on the line.
LED light can damage eyes, French health authority warns
Because they would likely have a higher hurdle for being convinced that we may indeed need to sacrifice economic growth to change the course of humanity's future for the better. If they do their research and are convinced, it would mean a lot more to me than if someone who supported the conclusions of environmentalists' apriori reaches the same conclusion.

If there is any such bias among climate scientists (e.g. people that go into climate science already hold certain beliefs about what should be done politically, and inadvertently favour the models / parameters / methodology that support their beliefs), this would help mitigate it to some extent.
Went through an acquisition with Vmware... they converted the stock options to Vmware options that vested at the same rate and were worth the exact same based upon the acquisition price. If they had already vested, they just paid you out. This may depend on the deal though.
They warranty the glass of the solar roof tiles "forever" (weatherization and energy generation for 30 years). They are only going to install a limited number of test cases until they know exactly what percentage of them will last that long.

The launch price -- $42/sq ft for the solar tiles, $11/sq ft for inert tiles that look the same -- is too high, and manufacturing yield is too low.

Finally, the first few roofs they installed took a Tesla team 3-4 weeks. I've read a couple cases in 2019 that took 2 weeks. I think they need to get installation time down to a week before they want to scale that any further.

In short, they probably lost money on every solar roof they installed in 2018, because that house is essentially acting as a real-world test bench. I think they will only install as many roofs as they need for testing purposes as they refine the design, manufacturing, and installation procedure.

If and when they cross the 20% margin point at a price that's still a premium over a new roof + panels, but not eye-wateringly so, they will scale production and start actually working through their order book.

IIRC the “mods are asleep, post […]” 4chan meme originally came from “mods are asleep, post high res” threads where to an outside observer they were just posting high-resolution images of inane things, but there was actually steganography of some sort going on to hide child porn (I think) inside the files.

On a journey in the car the other day I was looking at all of the Oil Seed Rape grown in the British country side. Diesel cars can be run with minimal modifications on straight vegetable oils. I wondered how much land we'd need to be self-sufficient on car transport.

We fill the car with fuel roughly once a week. So that's 40 litres a week or 2000 litres a year. Looking on wikipedia I found the yield is about 1000 litres per hectare. So for our purposes we'd need at least 2 hectares (about 5 acres or 2 rugby fields).

There are 24 million hectares in the UK. However there are 38 million registered vehicles (and some of them will be using a great deal more fuel than we do). That's without any allowance for the energy use in growing and pressing, land use for other crops or housing, or suitability for crop land. And that's just transport not the various other energy requirements we have.

I'm not sure what the point was but it made me quite sad.

It's really sad thinking how kids these days totally miss the wonder of the early internet.

In my case, it was at the public library. The lone internet computer was constantly booked. But by watching over a library clerk's shoulder, I was able to see the password needed to unlock the text-based library catalog terminals (which terminals were plentiful and always available). (My parents worked at the library, or else I never could have pulled that off.) Once unlocked, I was able to use Lynx to telnet into my favorite MUD game. Unfortunately it didn't last long until a librarian caught me, which I think resulted in me being grounded from the library for a month or something like that.

> They also discovered that vegetarians and vegans were at higher risk.

Surely it's far more likely that the causation goes the other way? Or is there a hypothesis that trying vegetarianism promoted overthinking / overcaring about diet?

I suspect this isn't very specifically an eating disorder, but that it's an obsessive compulsive or zealotry disorder where food just happens to be a target.
I'm one of the people who kicked in for the Megatokyo visual novel kickstarter. Years later, no visible progress; I'm not even mad, I knew exactly what I was signing up for, which was supporting a comic that had slowed to almost non-updating, and maybe getting a thing someday.

New comics are still weekly to monthly, if that. I've completely forgotten the origin of the current catgirl plot, but possibly Ping (or the catgirl she's based on?) will finally do something, maybe in the next couple years? Who knows.

That's kinda the problem with any domain-specific language: it either requires a full language for support, or it becomes one (and generally not a very good one). Every language is an opinion about what things should be easy and what things are allowed to be hard.

I've got nothing against DSLs and template languages and such, but most of the ones I encounter make me sigh and say, "I know you thought it would be easier but it's just one more thing I have to figure out how to debug, without any of my usual debugging tools."

I've felt a very distinct and strong presence on a number of occasions, and the timing and the tone or personality of what I felt, so to speak, has usually been nudging me in a specific direction rather than just being present. I know that's hard to explain, but it's strong and distinct enough that I'm about as confident of that as I am that what I'm seeing is actually there and not all a delusion.
Do you really find function overhead to be that great of an impact on performance? I work on a php app that sees around 15k/rps and I use a lot of functional patterns (feels best to me, my brain was formed in a lispy way).

The IMEI is permanently associated with the device.

The phone number (IMSI) is associated with the SIM card (or eSIM now) and can be trivially swapped out.

A network can definitely address a device by IMEI only. For example in most countries you can make emergency phone calls to 911/112 with no SIM card in your phone (and hence no phone number) and there are no troubles routing that call.
Questions I had after reading the article:

1. Is there any reason why these researchers are focusing on an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating, instead of an unhealthy obsession with [x: x ∈ anything], or just unhealthy obsessions in general?

2. Are there enough people with this disorder to classify it as a disorder?

3. Why are "Lacto-vegetarians" at the highest risk? What is it about drinking milk that makes people want to be extremely healthy?

Answers I received after reading the link to the University Press Release:

1. It's basically a disorder for people whom are relapsing from a previous eating disorder. Although it's gender-neutral for some reason.

Additionally, anorexia manifests in equal rates between societies which have almost nothing in common culturally, falsifying the hypothesis that it is caused by cultural factors.

Regarding "orthorexia nervosa", on the other hand, there is a perverse incentive in psychology to define everything under the sun as a disorder. I do not see right off the bat why this should not be thought of as being different from a specific manifestation of OCD.
