> but this fact is curiously absent in popular understanding of eating disorders.

No it isn't, the "Minnie Maud" model is dominant. (Minnesota, the soldier starvation experiment, and Maudsley, a protocol developed by a specialist London hospital).
I tend to agree with this (but I admit that I haven't given it much thought). For the most part, population growth is far higher in developing countries. As some of the other commenters here point out, population growth tends to slow down as your country gets richer. However, the issue is that the environmental impact of people in rich countries is far higher per capita.

Some back of the napkin math:

- India population = 1,324,171,354 [0]

- India growth rate = 1.19% [0]

- India CO2 metric tons per capita = 1.58 [1]

Assuming each additional person has the same per capita carbon footprint:

1,324,171,354 * 1.0119 * 1.58 = 2,117,087,809 additional tons CO2/year

Compare to the United States:

- US population = 328,863,150 [2]

- US growth rate = 0.62% [2]

- US CO2 metric tons per capita = 15.53 [1]

328,863,150 * 1.0062 * 15.53 = 5,138,909,636 additional tons CO2/year

So even though the US has 1/4 the population and a lower growth rate, the growth of carbon footprint is 2.5 times higher. These numbers are obviously very inexact, but the point is that if you believe that the current rate of CO2 output is unsustainable (and this is hard to dispute), then even if the world population levels off, this is likely due to increased prosperity. And increased prosperity means more consumption per capita and more consumption means more carbon footprint (and other environmental damage).

Your example is not representative because you're using literals.

Your actual example would be:

"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name=name, location=location, feet=feet)

And with f-strings:

f"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}."

f-strings is clearly more readable, concise and actually faster to run.

You stop being a job board and start being a contractor for contractors when you begin to set terms for the contractors who appear on your list. If UBER wants to be a job board, then they need to allow the contractors to set their own prices, drive whatever cars they want, and generally be as exceptional or terrible as the individual drivers want to be. You don't hire a taxi, you "get an Uber". Everything about their branding is "giant private taxi service".

They're not a job board. They're an employer shirking their responsibilities to their employees.

Because it depends on customer behavior. Intel has a strong name and people know their CPUs are fast. We see various IT security problems almost daily and most people don't care... It would probably require some massive exploits, data leaks, identity thefts in cloud providers and following lawsuits againts Intel to see some significant stock price change. :)

> Why do we phone numbers for device to device communication?

For billing, mainly.

The phone number in 3GPP protocols is the IMSI = international mobile subscriber identity, which identifies a user on the phone network. You swap out your SIM card, and you swap out your IMSI. You roam abroad, and the foreign network knows who to send the bill to.

The alternative would be to keep an international database of IMEIs (device IDs) like CDMA networks did. Using SIM cards with IMSIs ended up being more consumer-friendly.

It's even more interesting to think about this in the context of preserving banned information for future generations. For example, if all the countries in the world united to ban the New Testament.

Wow that could not be more wrong. PHP definitely changes things to make the language better, especially breaking changes. PHP5 changed objects from value types to reference types -- you don't get a bigger change than that.

But they don't just change things willy-nilly -- they do try to maintain backwards compatibility as much as is reasonable otherwise it wouldn't still be PHP.

You mean ever since Zuckerberg testified before Congress that Facebook intercepted WhatsApp messages in Myanmar that indicated a violent clash was about to happen and vectored in law enforcement? The only law enforcement complaint is that there's apparently a lot of kiddie porn being traded via WhatsApp. I am in favor of the strongest possible penalties for the animals that created and trade such filth but I also don't think THAT should be a justification for undermining end-to-end encrypted chat applications that work.

And for crying out loud: quit WhatsApp and switch to Signal or Wire -- something outside of the reach of Zuckerberg!

I haven't used Ruby in about a decade and I was never a fan. I used it as an example of a technology that managed to become popular despite abysmal performance. I think that's proof that in many situations, especially for web development, performance is a very secondary concern.

> You should learn the languages type system instead of assuming it works how you think. Again this is true of every language.

A good language should have good ergonomics. Criticism that `123 == "123foo"` is not reasonable cannot be brushed away by claiming that users should RTFM (although arguably in this case it's less an issue with == than "123foo" being implicitly cast into an integer).

Maybe this has been fixed and is no longer relevant though (I'm citing the Fractal of Bad Design page).

No idea if this is true, but Tesla might have a contract for X batteries at Y$ but only end up needing Z<X for its car sales. In every industry it's a good idea to find a use for excess materials.
for these sorts of low-value jobs, something has to give - either employees don't get a livable wage and the business survives, or the business doesn't survive due to too high wage cost. The option where the business survives, but also pays a livable wage, can't exist. If it could, then a competitor could also out-compete them by just not paying a livable wage!
VS Code is pretty good for an Electron app
Gigafactory is a joint venture between Panasonic and Tesla. But either way, in a world where demand for batteries far outstrips supply, the contractual ability to buy a greater quantity — knowing they can be sold profitably in any form factor — is an asset. Underpurchasing would be squandering that asset.

> Uber represents the new kind of company where all the risk is pushed to the employee, while all the profits are pulled to the company.

What profits are you referring to? My issue with this line of thinking is that it basically makes it sound like these companies are sitting on some huge volume of excess cashflow that they could freely give to their contractors if they simply chose to do so.

AFAICT, they actually charge similar rates to taxis (which also usually use contractors here) while not making as much money, and providing a vastly better end user experience.

I don't see a lot of room for better worker pay here.
The downsides should be addressed instead of kicked further down the road. Less people on the planet is better, regardless of the economic and social challenges it presents.
Carmack's brain is so much like a computer that it even does speculative execution branch prediction!
Agreed.

If technology gets to the point where the cost of dealing with carbon is on the same order as municipal water and sewer it won't be a political problem.
I agree with your costs argument, but my point is you can rarely blame the language. If we bring the frameworks in the discussion it gets even more complicated.

If you build a Rails or Laravel app in the same way you would build a Java app, the Rails/Laravel app will be dead slow. And I've seen that happen. But if you know what you're doing you with Rails/Laravel it will be a long time before you say: we should rewrite this in Go/Rust/Erlang.

The main criteria for me when choosing a tool for the job is: how well does the team know the tool? can they use it at full potential?

I've been involved in java project with 20k monthly cloud costs. Most of the workload is handled in the background by consumers that pull messages from RabbitMQ. I'm pretty sure I could rebuild that with any language while actually reducing the costs because the bottleneck is not the code but the architecture. Would it matter if I would rewrite it in Java instead pf Python or Ruby, in terms of performance, yes, if we need to consider other things, like speed of development, etc it gets complicated again. :)
'No other option': Climate change driving many to flee Guatemala
Whenever researchers talk about any mental disorders you need to add the phrase "...which interferes with their day to day life, and causes harm or distress".

These people are not eating healthily, they have an obsession with "healthy" food that interfere with their day to day life and causes harm or distress.

That harm may be from something like REDS (Anna Boniface has written useful stuff about that), or it may be over-training or food restrictions.
I can't be 100% certain because we don't understand consciousness yet, but I believe we can derive some logical conclusions.

Starting from the basics: life is just complex, carbon-based nanotechnology. There's nothing we know that suggests cells are anything more than complex machines. There's nothing suggesting that if you put a bunch of cells together, you get something more than a complex machine. From the other end, we're only sure that conscious experience happens in human brains, though through structural and behavioral similarity, we may assume some degree of conscious experience in a lot of animals. Going this route, around smaller insects you may start to wonder whether what you're looking for is more like a machine, or more like a feeling thing capable of experiencing emotions. Plants are biologically less complex than insects, and have no identifiable "locus of cognition".

I mean, you have to note that when guessing whether or not something can experience emotions, we're projecting our own mental states based on that thing's phenotype. Look how works of fictions - pictures, movies, even textual descriptions in books - can make you feel compassion towards a rock, or a car. A skilled writer could rephrase my fighter jet example in a way that would make you actually feel sorry for it. This means our intuition is not a good judge here. Past that, the best we have (AFAIK) is heuristics, like "has no brain/brain-level complexity = probably can't have experiences".
> The benefit of CSS is that you can use any HTML element, and it'll be interactive so hover states and event handlers will work (on the original at least, and I assume the reflection as well, but I'd need to test that).

Reducing the number of humans reduces a large amount of resource contention.

By not giving birth to more humans we're not killing people off. Alternative, as we see in many places, is war. War is definitely not the same thing as avoiding pregnancies.
PHP already has a strict mode as well. It's pretty hard to imagine every developer typing in a long block of compatibility switches at the top of every file and then the mental load of maintaining a code base with some of those on and off.

I think the answer you got is correct: this is what a lot of people who are semi-recovered from an eating disorder wind up with. That aspect is what distinguishes it from other obsessions.

Interestingly, eating disorders and chronic semi-starvation lead to rigid, OCD-like behaviors. For me it was rituals around walking and movement - they have faded away during eating disorder recovery.

To be fair, we are talking about standard library consistency and not language consistency. PHP is a consistent language but it's standard library is very low-level.

In PHP, you can call those mysql C library functions directly or you can use an object-oriented abstraction.
Ironic coming from Bloomberg which is known among the financial services, as a joke, as the most expensive messaging system available.

I used to work for Bloomy for 3 years, and all the workflows for a Bloomberg employee are tied into the terminal, from email to chat.

That having said, I'm sure the person who wrote this article has never used Slack at work, and as a journalist he surely does not see the value added of being able to format code/send files/create polls as easily as slack allows you.

Comparing it to email is pure stupidity and displays a lack of understand of the product. But to be honest, I didn't expect more from Bloomberg Businessweek.
For businesses that provide somewhat of an essential service, the 'buyer beware' mantra does not result in societally good outcomes.

For example, healthcare services should be considered essential, and therefore, should not be left up to the market forces, as these forces would mean that some part of the population who is not profitable to serve will not get served.

in such cases, the best option is a socialized mechanism (such as universal healthcare, paid for by taxation). For some reason, the US of A is very much against this idea. It's as if these ideas have been tainted with the smear campaign of communism and red-scare.
