Fatal errors is fair enough; though I only ever experienced this with parse errors, PHP being stateless did make this less likely to be caught until well into runtime, so it could be an issue.

String encoding though is, again, something other languages had similar gotchas with. Remember we're comparing PHP to its popular alternatives at the time, not to our hypthetical ideal runtime.

The bad defaults you and a sibling commenter are referring to (magic quotes) are, again, from 11 years ago.

Sure, 15 years ago PHP had serious issues, but here we are today acting as if they didn't fix most of them over a decade ago.
That is about historical Pascal that existed at 1981. I don't know does that Pascal version run on current computers anymore.

> This article is just one example of the things that the commies got correct

Minor observation from someone who lived under communism and still remembers it: the commies got nothing correct, except for the idea that extreme wealth inequality is a problem. And that idea is not specific to communism.

Most things that people think "commies got correct" were an accidental side-effect of shortages or other issues. And as for urban planning, this is not specific to communism. The fact that it is in bad shape today in Poland is a result of mismanagement, lobbying and bribes.

Communism is a terrible idea. I repeat this often, because I see this idea re-appear in an idealized form, often propagated by younger people who do not fully understand it.
The proper goal is robustness.
It is either achieved via clear indication of failure and guidance on alternative solutions - so that the user can handle it.
Or by actually failing gracefully and handling as many error conditions in an always reasonable way.

Usually letting user handle it is more general as long as the failures are rare enough.

Internal correctness is perfectly achievable though. External (correct spec) is not.

There are always some unhandled conditions, due to hardware or external component failures...
Definitely, it's a brilliant read.

A cold email is something that takes a human at least an hour to write.

Spam is something that takes a factory less than a second to spit out.

Somewhere in-between, there’s a gray area. ‘Spam’ is in the eye of the beholder (nobody claims to produce spam) so where that is is a matter of taste.

For me, a cold email must have a human writer. That hour isn’t a strong boundary, but once you’re cold emailing ten different people an hour, I think you’re reaching spam country.

I also think there’s computer-produced emails that aren’t spam, but I can’t think of any I would call “cold email”.

> not sure if westerners are aware but communist were against any religion

They were trying to fight it for a while, but catholicism in Poland was too strong so they formed a kind of cease fire. That's why they even let people build churches, do mass celebrations, pilgrimages etc.

And a lot of priests were secret informators of the security (communists searched for any material for blackmail and if they found something they forced them to become informators - common blackmail material was pedophilia and homosexualism (treated so because of social stigma) ).

This is sadly true, but I believe we are starting to see it change. Slowly. It is a sign of immaturity: as a country matures, people notice that cars aren't all they are cracked up to be, and start switching to bikes, walking and public transportation.

The superstitious mammetry of a bourgeois obsession for books is severely annoying. Think how many children are put off reading by prissy little people ticking them off whenever they turn a page carelessly. The world is so fond of saying that book s should be "treated with respect". But when are we told that _words_ should be treated with respect? From our earliest years we are taught to revere only the outward and visible.

I'm not familiar enough to say, but I guessed it's similar to what some other posters in the parent thread are saying: it's lazy and rude. This was also a family on the southern French almost-but-not-quite country side, and the son I was exchanging with had never even been to Paris, so it might be a metropolitan/country divide, as well.

I grew up in the Swedish countryside, and we use a slightly different vocabulary from Stockholm, even though it's not far outside. Some words sounding more dated, less or different slang, less or different curse words.

And again, I was there to learn proper French, and I guess Mme Picq wanted to make sure the French I learned was indeed proper. It made me happy to be corrected, and also her cooking made me very happy!

This is such an important concept for negotiations of all sorts. If you are negotiating the hard way, then people are going to be put off from interacting with you in the future.

There is a social element to all relationships, and the Trump-style win or go home strategy only works if you have massive leverage, and even then it will leave a sour taste in the mouth of the other party.

You want the other party to feel satisfied with their part of the deal. Not just because it's good for business (which it is), but because we are human beings and we should not be trying to squeeze every last penny out of each other.

My programmer career started in my teenage years when my uncle lend me a book about programming serial/parallel ports on an IBM compatible PC. The book would explain a certain concept and then give different code examples in two languages BASIC and Pascal. However the variable names in the Pascal examples where in German, those from BASIC where in English. My teenage self therefore thinking Pascal was a 'German' programming language so I stuck with the BASIC examples, learning programming was complex enough without having to learn German as well. Only later in school when I got lessons in Pascal it struck me it was just as English as BASIC.
It may help explain the soyboy epidemic happening all over the West.

This. You can have good urban planning anywhere, if you agree on laws and enforce them.

The reason why urban planning is worse in Poland than it used to be is because there was no focus on zoning laws and planning was neglected for many years. Mind you, this is not accidental in any way: there was (and is) a concerted effort to prevent new zoning laws, or at least delay them as much as possible.

Not everyone is like that however.

I also agree that nothing can prepare for the non-duality - but preparation can help you make the most of the experience & retain what was meaningful to you.

I haven't experienced that for the many roundabouts we have in The Netherlands. Throughput is higher (can easily be measured), plus waiting time is lower thanks to roundabouts.

Maybe those who WFH during this situation will develop some empathy for full-time remote workers ... because for damn sure most of them have none. There are some issues that are obvious and easily addressed, like leaving stakeholders out of a meeting entirely ("couldn't find a room on short notice"). There are others that are hard to notice unless you're subject to them all the time.

* A VPN that's OK for short-term use, but unreliable enough to cause multiple flow disruptions every single day.

* Extremely slow (and often more contentious) document/code reviews because people aren't as comfortable with written communication as ftf.

* Losing every commit race because of the above, and having to spend more time than anyone else handling tricky merges.

* Being in effective listen-only mode in meetings because of constant interruption and side chatter (or not even able to hear if half the participants are loudly eating lunch the entire time).

* IDEs that lose their ability to navigate code because the connection to the cross-referencing engine can't survive high latency. (BTW this is related to having a giant monorepo, which is itself a bit of a remote-hostile choice.)

There are many more. Working from home has its advantages, but doing so in an office-first environment can be frustrating too. Maybe those who experience some of that frustration for a few days will at least stop criticizing others for things that aren't their fault.
The opposite effect is that if you don't expect to deal with this person in the future again, negotiating harder starts making sense again. If you play soft to improve the relationship with some random trinket vendor in a touristy location for example, you win nothing. The difficult part is in correctly estimating which type of situation you are in.
> it's entirely up to us to define how far we are willing to go to find out to what extent

This "we" is just an abstraction, too. In practice it means a powerful person decides they want another private jet, and somewhere down the chain of events that sets in motion, a poor person can't afford a doctor for their child, which subsequently dies. Or a lot of people decide they want this and that gimmick, and people 5 generations down the line don't get to see all sorts of animals and plants, and don't even get to make all sorts of choices we made for them.
A paper published in the Lancet on Friday said that the peak infection is persecuted to be in April. But if more curbs on movement are out in place then the total infections will be lower, but the peak will be later.

UPnP is pretty much a security disease. Countless security holes have come from that protocol. Worse is tons of users are behind double NATs and carrier NAT.

Theres two catholic churches in Poland. One consists of a minority of hardcore evangelicals and the other is just normal christian people who are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, unlike in the US, these two groups are forced to coexist as a single entity and are governed by the first kind of church.

edit: btw, John Paul II was from the first group.
