PHP vs. JavaScript: Which to Choose?
The reading comprehension point is interesting. I'd like to see some studies looking into testing differences between those with a verbal monologue and those without. It'd be interesting to see the different areas where each type of thinking shines, if there even is a statistical difference in any area.

A person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals and you know it. And they panic the most when secrets need to be kept secret.
Spontaneity is also thinking. There are two distinct modes of thought. Verbal/abstract and real-time/intuition. These have neurological foundations in the two hemispheres. The right is more highly connected. The left has more to do with speech and rumination.
> Why are you comparing a top of the line workstation with an average laptop?

Because it's something you can absolutely do to improve your computing life with a simple, rational calculation, which I will outline now for expensive (relative to US hardware prices) Germany.

PC dev box parts, prices sourced from geizhals.de:

* Ryzen 9 3900x, 490 euros: https://geizhals.de/amd-ryzen-9-3900x-100-100000023box-a2064...

* Top end X570 mobo, 200 euros: https://geizhals.de/gigabyte-x570-aorus-elite-a2078208.html

* 32 GB DDR4-3200, 144 euros: https://geizhals.de/g-skill-ripjaws-v-schwarz-dimm-kit-16gb-...

It's missing other stuff, but those can be quite cheap and don't need upgrading as often, and you maybe don't need the fanciest motherboard. (Going with Intel at this point is a complicated topic due to security issues and mitigation performance hits, to be balanced against having the most obscenely fast performance possible for a bit more money.)

Anyway, let's call it ~2k euros for a truly badass 12c24t 32GB memory dev box.

Compare this to, say, the common and much-loved Macbook Pro: that's 1.5k to 3.2k euros (just checked). The former for a super weak computer, the latter is 2.3 GHz 8c(16t?), 16 GB 2666 MHz memory. That's really weak computing power for the amount you're spending (yes, I understand you're not buying pure performance, but that's what's being compared here), and you don't even really "want to do better" with higher clocks etc because, speaking in purely physical terms, you need more volume and cooling to get the higher throughput. Laptops also start to throttle way sooner than computers with big coolers (that needn't cost much- I'm using a 15 euro cooler on my i7 8700k at 4.7 GHz which is passive without significant load).

So that's it really; for about the price of a weak Macbook Pro, you could have an ultra powerful dev or build box. You can get some really amazing screens for little money these days, and re-use it between upgrades, along with several other components; how much of your laptop do you usually re-use when upgrading?

I've now spent a truly excessive amount of time justifying my point of view, in the hope that I don't sound completely delusional. 1.5-2k euros once every few years for your developers to have peak dev performance is IMO an easy sell; if your laptop is a thin client you can have it additionally and it won't need upgrading for ages, because it doesn't need to do any heavy lifting.

> They're different markets.

False dichotomy, they can be (and usually are) additive, because you can rdesktop and use remote CI. What I'm questioning is the relevance of laptops as primary build computers.
As far as i know Tarkovsky wasnt really scifi fan. Maybe thats why Stalker is so unlike the book.

He made Solaris as answer to Kubrics Space Oddesay and after that he got big budget for another scifi.

Sadly the Stalker was disaster. Very unsafe poisonous conditions where many got sick. Movie almost didnt happen. Its suspected Stalker is reason why Tarkovsky died early.
Here's one solution: in addition to charging a one-off fine, increase tax rates of responsible people/entities.

> "Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean he should be lonely, but that he shouldn’t grow bored with himself."

This is something that has helped me a lot. Some of the best creative ideas and stuff I came up as a young person were due to my spending this time on self-learning and trying to do something or the other. Learnt never to get bored just being with myself.

And to this day whenever I am alone, either I put myself in a learning/exploring/thinking mode; or I work on doing something creative/practical. There's no passive mode.

I think the key to not getting bored alone and spend this 'me time' in some meaningful way is to actively engage oneself instead of passively passing the time.
The best part of the article, I can't believe no one has mentioned it yet:

The next day, the Yuma County Sheriff T.C. Combs received an email from a man who wanted to get deputized in order to “form a special task force dedicated to the clandestine monitoring, capturing, and prosecution of those responsible for the recent public panic. My team will be dedicated to the liberation of our skies,” he wrote, and would be known as “Team Alpha WarHawk.” He identified the strengths of each team member, including his own (“comic relief”). His second in command was the “culinary expert” and was “great, but not amazing. However he’s what we got.” The third member of the team specialized in “weapons/Ammunition expert” but was also “just an all around great guy.” One “recruitment pool candidate” makes a “mean pot of coffee” while another is “the most charming man I’ve ever met.” The lone member with a name of Hispanic origin was their “linguistics expert.” It went on like this.
So what options would you recommend? Genuinely curious.

Some believe that some fines should be a proportion of income, even for individuals.

Fixed financial penalties are inherently regressive; they disproportionately punish the poor and provide no disincentive to the sufficiently rich.

I believe this has been implemented for speeding fines in some countries.
This depends on the rate. If the average report rate is X per person with a standard deviation of Y, and this town has X+ZY reports where Z is a big number, then yeah, that kind of would require an explanation.

Knowing the town has an above average rate of drone reports wouldn't be dispositive. Instead, it would be one bit of evidence to help us weigh competing theories and incline us towards one conclusion or another.

Of course, the other thing it could show is evidence of Vice's conclusion. If this town had roughly the average number of false reports or was even a modest outlier, then that would help reinforce the "no such drones" position.
"I suspect that “chance of dying” varies based on treatment, "

Bootstrapped and Profitable
I think it's to avoid a branch in `size()`. If you use this trick, you have to check the flag if it's a small in-situ string or a "regular" heap-allocated string, because they they calculate size differently. In the standard library strings, the size is always just stored in the same position in memory, so `size()` has essentially no overhead when inlined, it's just a memory load.

Branches on their own aren't particularly expensive (especially not an easily predictable one like this), but they do screw with several compiler optimizations (auto-vectorization, for one). Given that, it seems like a reasonable decision, and the only way you'd know which one is faster is just testing it.

I'd personally think it would be interesting to test artificially increasing the sizeof() of strings from 24 bytes (the minimum needed to store a pointer, size and capacity) to something like 64 bytes, just to get longer strings using the SSO. The trade-off in the stack-space of the string seems like it would totally be worth it, and with 56 character long "small strings", a huge number of strings could fit in there (virtually all names, for instance). You probably couldn't do it for std::string (would wreck havoc with ABIs), but my hunch is that performance and memory usage might both benefit from the reduced memory allocations.

Each to their own. I've worked with both, success with micro-services is largely a function of the organisation. My current company started transitioning 18 months ago, I wouldn't say it was easy but we are in a far better position now than we were with our monolithic architecture. Our success is largely due to the company understanding that big changes would be necessary - things like org charts, engineering culture, engineer responsibilities and job descriptions (you would be forgiven for thinking we only hire SREs).
Good question. It has to more ‘ideas’ based I guess!
I guess you can implement fmap in any language with higher-order functions including Python. The point is it is built into Haskell and supported by a number of fundamental types out of the box.
From the article in brackets to perserve their quoting: [CDPS “confirmed no incidents involving criminal activity, nor have investigations substantiated reports of suspicious or illegal drone activity.” In other words, they found nothing.]

"They found nothing" is not other words for what the article quoted. Maybe the found something that was not criminal, suspicious or illegal, but still more interesting than stars and airplaines, and they aren't telling.

Except that a syntax error isn't likely at all - this was production code.

BTW just running "php -l" would have nailed this error - PHP refuses to run a script that cannot pass the tokenization step, resulting in a blank page (and the error being logged), so such a macroscopic error would probably be short-lived even in their test environment.

Being able to adjust momentum midair compensates for the relative lack of control over launch velocity in most control schemes. In real life, you've got a lot of control over where you land, but you don't need midair momentum control for it.
I think that's a symptom. Not a cause.

A lot has to do with how cultures perceive individuals and individuality. Traditionally, individuality has always been seen as something "bad". ingroup/outgroup, cultural norms to abide by, etc. etc. Sociology, anthropology,... there are entire research domains devoted to these questions.

The interesting part is how society has evolved over the past 200, 100 and 50 years. Industrialisation, mass media, the information age,... have all stripped away the traditional tribal or clan-like way of living which has kept us alive for hundreds of thousands of years.

Over the past 50 years, individual consumerism and producerism have come to dominate our societal framework. So, we are taught to look at relationships as affordances that help us to advance in a materialistic world; rather then to look at the deep intangible value they embody. And we are also taught that emotions are only really valid if they are useful or contributing to our well-being.

What I hear from younger people is this notion of suffering from social anxiety. I'm sure that's a real thing. It's not easy to approach another human being and try and befriend them; and it's harder as we become older.

But building meaningful relationships is also a learned skill which takes tons of time. And the journey starts first and foremost with learning to befriend yourself through self-aware kindness, compassion and empathy. For one, it starts by not beating yourself up over stuff you don't control. Or trying to adhere to an irealistic ideal.

And it also consists of calling out those who push ideals that nobody can ever hope to attain. (Yeah, sure, Elon does great stuff. But neither you nor I are like Elon. You do you, go for it if you want to give it a shot, but who are you to judge what I do with my life?).

The problem with social media is that they tie into our innate urge to connect with others; but at the same time push this idea that we all need to have our separate, successful materialistic lives. It's a disparity that only enhances the anxiety that's already there. And the only good way to deal with it is to wean yourself from your device as best as you can.
In addition to what other people have said, the move semantics introduced in C++11 made a lot of the benefit of CoW moot: the point of CoW is to have a cheap copy operation, but most of those cheap copy operations can be replaced by even cheaper moves, often automatically by the compiler.

Yes. I can also do this:

...but I prefer to think consciously about my actions. Doing too many things without internally verbalizing the decision-making process makes me feel like a beetle.
I never even considered this might be what it’s like to have pictures in your head! I guess because I have no idea what that’s like. I have a lot of voice in my head. (Just my own!) and I talk to myself in my head a lot.

I should say that I do have a strong mental _something_ that is good for imagining connections between stuff. When I’m coding I can ‘see’ pretty much instantly how everything should be connected together. What the user agent and server and database and api etc will all do and what they’ll pass back and forth and store just comes into my head very effortlessly all connected together. So I think the visual bit of my brain is being used for that instead.
Tri-X is a tab-grain silver halide film similar to Ilford HP5. T-MAX is delta-grain and more like Ilford Delta. They don't necessarily need different chemistry but it's possible to get better results if you do.

Tri-X is still in production to this day, and still very popular. Same with the Ilford films I mentioned.

A member of ArchiveTeam did a fairly comprehensive crawl of the messages of public groups between 2015 and 2018. And there had been discussion about how to archive Yahoo Groups for a few years prior to that as well.

The reality is that in order to archive a site as large as Yahoo Groups, you need a critical mass of people willing to commit time and energy to the project. And people are more likely to commit to an "urgent" project, where there is a set deadline.

> Newton did not use equations in his book

Correct, in the sense that there's no explicit equality sign and the left and right side of the expression. There are expressions though (I see them e.g. in Book II).

But what surely nobody would find there is calculus as we know it today, all explanations are indeed geometrical there.

So rayner's claim "Newton used a geometric formulation of calculus" can be accepted (although the "calculus" was not explicit at all, but just a hidden "guiding line"), and even more that it was an immense work reinterpreting Newton's ideas to something easier to follow and prove (to those equipped with the knowledge of Leibniz's notation).

From the article we comment:

"du Châtelet took the idiosyncratic mathematical proofs relating to the laws of attraction that had been most scrutinized by Newton’s critics and recast his geometrical equations into integral calculus."

Her "commentary" should surely be considered one of fundamental "On The Shoulders of Giants" set of texts.

(Btw: it's "Leibniz" or "Leibnitz". The "ie" is a sure typo.)

If you mean it as stated above, that's as far removed from humanity as possible. Some loner animals, sure, they might do this. We built society and civilisation to do better than that.
I think it's more related with conflict situations. For example, imagine you are on a diet. Then after the first impulse of eating a bagel you think "but I started a diet a week ago" and then you justify yourself "a single bagel won't matter that much" which creates another thought "you said the same last time. You are going to regret it at the end of the month" and so on.

In fact, this internal monologue can be used in psychology when you are dealing with bad experiences by dividing your thoughts into an entity who suffers the pain and another one who is logical and supportive. For example, acting towards yourself the same way you would do for a friend.
