I would suspect, that if you are looking at per-capita consumption, a large factor would simply be that the proportion of the population that is adapted to consume dairy products has shrunk. Drinking milk is, in some ways, kind of a weird accident, and the genes responsible for making that possible are clustered in a few different regions. An increasing share of immigration and population growth in the intervening decades has come from populations where those genes are rarer.

I can't speak for symphony, but that's just not the way it works in laravel. The "artisan serve" action is used when you want to make a quick demo (maybe). The actual deployment is in an apache server like everything else.

The rest of the actions that use artisan, for the most part, are for creating boilerplate code like database models or empty controllers quickly. They aren't a requirement to use the framework, but are faster and less error-prone than copy/pasting an old empty class file.

The last class of actions that call artisan are for things like cron jobs which you setup once and forget about. Their use case is pretty obvious once you read the manual.

> These frameworks have never added anything that I couldn't do simpler and faster, nor have they provided me with constructive guidance in the design or maintenance of a project.

That's nice to hear, but it's probably not true for the majority of people. The entire point for these projects is to allow programmers to create a rapid prototype for design purposes that can then be iteratively developed into a final product. If they don't make sense to you, maybe it's because you aren't working in that space, and not because the tools themselves are lacking.
Racket v7.3 Release Notes
There’s a surprising amount of FUDD in here regarding nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only serious option we have for clean, reliable, carbon-free power. A no-brainer if you believe in climate change. Generation 3 reactors have been in operation for decades, proving themselves perfectly safe. Bonus - they use nuclear waste as fuel.
Thank you for the clarification. I use a dedicated card for domain hosting (with autorenewal enabled) to prevent this specific issue but I recognize most people likely don't do the same.
Wow, that's amazing. I'm totally going to use this. YNAB unfortunately don't allow live feeds from Australian banks so using middle-ware is a great idea. I never even considered broking the service myself. Awesome!
> Interest-based groups are nice, but they do not foster the kinds of connectedness that are fostered in religious-like groups.

My example was that they can, without the authoritarian thought police that you seem to think is necessary.

> On the other hand, I would not trust my programming language community friends with my kids.

How much time do you spend socializing in those groups compared to church? You're not comparing like with like here, in my example we spend a comparable about of time together as you do at the church and got to know each other over many years. And yes, people can and do trust each other with their children.

> Because my relationship with my brother is based on a shared philosophy of what's important in life (given to us by our parents of course), whereas my relationship with the PL community is based on simple shared interests.

It's important for kids to be exposed to many ideas within reason.

> That's the problem with interest-based clubs -- without an underlying worldview, they cannot foster the kind of intimate social experiences fostered in church.

Have you ever wondered how many people there don't share your worldview but don't speak up for fear of being ostracized from the community aspects? I don't get the impression that you're a very tolerant bunch.

This is definitely incorrect:

> The hate isn't "spreading through social media" the hate and the fear were already there.

If extremism couldn't be effectively spread, extremists wouldn't bother trying. But they put quite a lot of effort into recruiting and propaganda.

For those interested, I strongly recommend Neiwart's "Alt-America": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT2KCB2/

He's a journalist who in the 80s and 90s was covering extremists (e.g. violent white supremacists, "patriot" militias). He makes a very good case that the Internet has been an enormous boon, enabling significant growth and normalization.

The thing is, nuclear power straight up isn't profitable to build now. 15 years ago, sure, but according to Lazard's most recent analysis, nuclear power is beaten by alternative sources with storage. The cost of financing projects on such large timescales is huge, not to mention the risk of fiascos like the one going on in South Carolina and to some extent Georgia. We should keep the plants we have running, but use the available funding for new renewables. If we really want to go to the nuclear power route, the government should just do what France and China did by nationalizing new nuclear plant construction. The prviate sector is past the point that it makes sense to choose new Nuclear plants over gas baseload or renewables.
Why is that? I assume you mean a server so far away that the number of hops (switches, etc) is higher on land than over the air? Without a large hop count difference, I don't see why air vs ground fiber would be terribly different. Air takes a direct path but with LEO satellite there's some height, and fiber takes a slightly less direct path but without height and with switches.
Unless humanity reverts to a pre industrial state, future inhabitants should have tech to detect radioactive material —just as we can now. If we fall to a pre industrial state, it’s doubtful we’d be able to get to the buried waste material like Yucca mountain.
Memory overcommit is addressed by virtio memory ballooning (https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Projects/auto-ballooning). Even OpenBSD supports this as both guest and host.

For storage, there's already virtio block devices, not to mention PCI passthrough. But if you mean direct file system access, virtio-fs (https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io/) is just about ready to roll.

There's still the issue that you're running an entire extra kernel. Not sure that's much slower than using Go; it's probably faster if what was described about bouncing on futexes elsethread is true.

gVisor sounds like the kind of solution that makes sense for Google but not something that would survive in the wider community. The concept sounds great, but using Go sounds horrible, though I'm sure Go made prototyping the concept super simple--specifically goroutines reify execution flow in a nice way, but so would stackful coroutines in C or even Rust, which is easy to implement if you don't need to worry about deep recursion.

Are there recorded instances of the IRS actually breaking into people's computers remotely instead of, at the most, getting a warrant for the device to be seized? I guess you'd never know if they did that for parallel construction.
"to the metro fiber" doesn't really matter. That's just the last-mile latency.

Starlink will be bouncing your packets to earth relays. For all we know, those relays could be directly attached to AWS datacenters. "15-25ms" could be the entire end-to-end latency, not just the "last mile" latency.

Even with your pessimistic estimations that the "15-25ms" is just the last-mile of an equivalently long haul across the internet, we're not talking about some unmanageable increase in latency like geostationary satellite internet has.

I'm young, used twitter for about a year, and I don't understand twitter replies either.
This critique doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why wouldn't you count a processor that costs twice as much as twice the economic output?

It's vaguely reminiscent of the claim that inflation data is understated because computers at the same price have gotten better... except opposite. There's no adjustment for quality in the sense that a quality improvement without a change in price is estimated & counted. It's only if the processor's actual price doubles — i.e. it brings in twice as much revenue!

Is that even something we observe in computers to a significant extent? Even if it is, is it a bad thing? If homes increase in size by 50%, simultaneously increase in price by 50%, and an equal quantity of them are sold, is home production not up 50%?

This feels like an argument that automation in manufacturing has only increased because the distribution of production has shifted towards the highly automated semiconductor industry, but it's couched in a bizarre claim that increases in monetary value of output for the computer industry just don't count.
Light only moves at about 60% the speed of light in glass fiber. (Specifically, it goes at C / refractive index)
The DNA/RNA that encodes the proteins can itself be structured in a way that might be disrupted by synonymous amino acid changes. In particular, recent work in the field has shown that changing codons near the start of the gene can disrupt transcriptional/translational machinery.

These effects are often minor but this bacteria has undergone hundreds of millions of years of optimization via natural selection and some researchers have come along and disrupted 18,000 sites. Probably the slower growth and length abnormalities are just that the bacteria is a little miscalibrated and displaying minor symptoms of malaise.
The "there is nothing any pilot could have done so close to the ground" was alluding to the Ethiopian accident. They were a mere thousand feet from the ground.

It's exponentially easier to recover from a lot of issues, even a stall, when you have 40,000 feet of distance (and thus a lot more time) to play with rather than not even a thousand feet off the ground.

You wouldn't have a Starlink antenna each. You'd have as many Starlink antennas as was reasonable then everyone would use traditional last-mile technologies to connect to them. The available bandwidth sounds reasonably high so it should still result in acceptable speeds unless your population density is bonkers.

> To convince me that 737 MAX without the "properly functioning MCAS" isn't inherently dangerous under higher angles of attack you'd have to provide some explicit proofs.

I am legitimately curious, do you have any explicit proofs of the converse, that (as you say) "the behaviour without MCAS on 737 MAX is that minimal movements of pilot’s controls effectively activate what would be considered “amplification” of nose up movement, resulting in an uncontrollable plane and sure crash"?

The standard should be that a an unimpaired pilot properly trained in flying the aircraft will normally (practically) be in no danger of a "sure crash".

A lot of the problem comes from the excessive, ridiculous, way-too-onerous over-regulation of nuclear power plants. Over-regulation brought on by an irrational fear of nuclear power- a fear fostered (and herein I put my conspiracy theory hat) by oil lobbying groups, who identified nuclear as one of the few energy solutions that would jeopardize their energy monopoly.

What I never understood is why Exxon/BP/etc never positioned themselves to corner nuclear/solar/etc. At their level, pivoting from being a "Gas Company" to an "Energy Company" seems like a no-brainer. Who cares which energy source wins, if you own all the energy sources?

> But I was ignorant. Honestly, after switching to Python for web dev, I saw no reason to ever return. Since then, I've dropped web dev altogether, and I now work in C++, Java, and Python on a daily basis.

I haven't done PHP seriously in a very long time. I currently work in C# and ASP.NET for web and I do C++, Python, and JavaScript. Personally, I'm doing work in Python right now and I don't enjoy it very much -- I'd much rather work in PHP for web development over Python. I prefer a good strongly typed language.

> I still cringe at the thought of using PHP again after learning how capable other general purpose languages are. From a CS point of view, working in PHP just isn't very interesting... or pleasant.

I don't know. PHP has Lambdas. It has generators. It was strong typing. From a CS perspective, there isn't much PHP does not have for the purposes of web development. It's limitations, in my opinion, mostly come from being a dynamic scripting language but those same issues befall Python and Nodejs as well.

If I had to code in PHP again, my code wouldn't look much different from my code in any other language.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I'll post anyway. I'm skeptical of the motivation for this blacklist. Prohibiting the use of Huawei products by government agencies and contractors is an action one could reasonably justify in respect to national security. Mandating that my private company seek approval from the government before doing business with Huawei is a pretty extreme rule that limits my options on the global marketplace. I am now forced to accept the claim that Huawei devices are "tainted" and significantly more dangerous than other products. I'm having trouble accepting that argument or seeing this as anything more than trade war saber rattling.

When I think of American companies that actually care about data privacy only a few come to mind. I do believe Apple makes a good faith effort toward protecting user data, despite the company's many anti-consumer practices. There are a number of smaller companies like Purism and Yubico that go further in making this a part of their core business strategy. But generally my experience has been that American companies give a backseat to these concerns. Remember when Equifax, an American company, leaked the personal data of 143 million U.S. citizens in 2017 [1]? What about the Citrix hack from just a few months ago where 6TB of sensitive information was stolen by Iranian hackers [2]? What makes these companies more trustworthy than Huawei or any other Chinese company?

Finally, there's a line you can draw from the decisions of the past to what's happening today. The U.S. is largely responsible for the design of the modern web for both good and bad. The Internet is an amazing thing that has uplifted people around the world, including in developing countries where opportunities are needed [3] [4]. At the same time surveillance and proprietary software has become pedestrian to the point where most people (myself included) just accept it. We used Chinese manufacturing to scale this vision, from cheap Internet-connected devices to the servers that store and deliver our personal information. What kind of example did we set for China or other countries to follow? Where would we be had we followed the advice of people like Richard Stallman who warned us decades in advance?

We seem to be moving toward a more isolated world as of late. I hope we can get to a point where we're having productive conversations on a global scale about how tech could make our lives better (and potentially worse). The alternative is to let the chips fall where they may. In a world of IoT, AI and autonomous weapons, that's not a game I'd like to play.

Of course, the discards weren’t always processed or used in a way that conforms to health, safety, and environmental standards found in many developed countries. But it’s difficult to argue that somebody is dumping something on a poor country when a person in the poor country is paying for the stuff.

If someone is engaging in environmentally destructive production in a third world country using materials from the first world, one might say the "externalities" of first world production are being imported to that third world nation. This is similar to way rare earth production shifted to China when other industrialized nations regulated it's environmental impact.

Which is to say the arguments here seem like a collection of double talk. "Denying agency" is the sort of complaint that can justify all sort of claims.

Edit: just broadly, a big part of the article is about exploding the story that the first world dumps its trash on the third world. He dramatizes the view, denigrates the view, gives some details intended to debunk the view but doesn't really say what happen instead. "It gets bought" doesn't seem like enough detail, to say the least. Plastic scraps go to Malaysia - are burned, actually recycled, what? If one is exploding other's myths, it seems like an alternative story would be merited.
There's a lot of counterfactuals here, both numerical and historical - for example, your suggestion that policies put in place to deal with a problem never being revoked which is simply not supported by fact. As your whole post is dedicated to invalidating the question I posed I hope you'll excuse me for not spending an hour on a point-by-point refutation of your numerous and very broad claims.
