> Is PHP still a preferred platform for any sort of complex web development?

It's "preferred" as in tons of people get a lot of good work done with it quickly, but wouldn't go out and proselytize how "great" it is or isn't.

PHP is just a tool. A fairly old one at this point. But it still holds up to most of today's standards and is a constantly evolving language.

It's not the hipster language of choice though.

"No matter what the issue is, customer support will be adamant that it's your router."

In which case you can take your router completely out of the picture by plugging your computer directly in to Comcast's line.
We just went through this. The finalist schools -- a big midwest Catholic school and a large NE state university -- offered scholarships or grants between $16k and $21k per year with some caveats such as min 2.0 GPA at one and FAFSA qualifications staying roughly the same over the four year period.

These scholarships/grants brought the per-year cost close to the University of Ottawa international rates, about $41k/year all in. If my senior had been accepted to UMass Amherst, our in-state university, the all-in cost would start at $33k/year (without FAFSA consideration).

The brand-name private colleges around the Northeast US now have all-in sticker prices of $75k-80k. Financial aid in the form of grants or scholarships (not loans) would have to be $35k-40k to make these schools competitive on a cost basis with the examples given above.
Fair. It does not contribute to your data caps or your provisioned speed with comcast. It does still use your router channels and provides the owner with zero benefit, so I don't understand why you'd ever allow it.

The general method is to estimate serological prevalence and then calculate implied IFR using the published death counts.

The key point being that the “confirmed cases” numbers are useless due to massive overcounting, so you need to instead rely on serology.
This speaks volumes about how fraught with peril building microservices is. For me the prevailing message of this post is "don't do it at all unless you are willing to absorb this much complexity for the promised benefits".
This is your second comment in this thread about Redis being in-memory. Redis can function in-memory only but it also has at least 2 persistence stories (rdb snapshots, aof logs), and out of the box is configured use rdb.
Sounds like Amazon's margin is someone's opportunity.
I thought JS already exhibited the Uncertainty principle.
So the upshot is that they're barely using the database product and went with Oracle because they're much more competitive on bandwidth? I guess that makes sense. I wonder how stable that will be long term. Oracle probably has cheap bandwidth so you'll put down your first child on the database transaction costs, but if you're only using them for the bandwidth they'll probably won't be happy to let so much potential profit sit on the table.
The project is still under heavy development to get to a point where external contributors make sense. We hope to be there soon!
Universities are also the place that turn out STEM graduates and Ph.Ds: engineers (the non-software kind, where you actually need and use the education), physicians, scientists and researchers of all flavors (like the kind trying to find a cure for COVID-19), and so forth. These people are the pillars of progress and innovation necessary for a country to be great. Ironically, by defunding universities, culture warrior conservatives are effectively slitting their own country's throat.

(Personally, I had no use for the ideologues either but managed to avoid them by simply not taking any of their classes; foreign language courses are a great way of filling humanities requirements with something actually useful.)

The only degree that doesn't force a "well rounded" education is aerospace engineering. They start on their major course work right away. How many of those guys are out of work?
"Well rounded course work" is just a money sink and wastes two years. Most of the major course work that matter you don't get to until junior and senior years. All you really need are those last two. First two are a waste.
this is very nice and handy. Definitely worth giving it a try for high-budget landing pages..
Do people really ask about hobbies? In actual professional job interviews?

The other questions only lead to answers that involve your personal life if you choose to talk about your personal life. Job interviews are professional negotiation, not chats with friends. Where do you see yourself professionally in 5 years? Why would you mention your family?

Asking if you're willing to put in lots of overtime should be a red flag for a job at any age, and answering it shouldn't involve mentioning your kids.

Can you work in the US? Maybe there's issues where the answer varies based on marital status...
These tend to be applications with very high performance requirements, including Deno. It seems to me that the choice between Go and Rust is generally a matter of whether you value iteration velocity more than peak performance or correctness.

Why start if you have no intention to see it through? Talks and adoption by the community are a chicken and egg problem, if you don't believe enough in the project to give it staying power then the community is right to not adopt it: they already have a VM for BEAM and it works well. Without an additional selling point 'now in Rust' doesn't cut it.
Makes no sense.
The issue is we're preserving jobs like coal mining just so people can have a job to get a paycheck. If we can automate those jobs (or make them obsolete with solar power), what's the value in stopping those peoples' paychecks?

We're an outbound bandwidth heavy shop also and have been shopping Oracle cloud for the same reason. We've been told over and over that we don't spend enough with AWS to start seeing any discounts so to hell with it.

> My point is that the film claims to challenge sacred cows and that the reaction alone is enough to show that that claim is correct

And it's a bad point.

People who claim to be "challenging sacred cows" are often just making provocative, misleading, or downright false claims. This has been Moore's shtick for decades now, in fact.

A strong reaction is not always proof of "sacred cows". Sometimes it's just warranted.
I was 35 when I had been working a decade on a large enterprise product built on legacy tech: a legacy php framework, a legacy js framework, and desktop apps built with delphi. My job prospects were not great. Recruiters did not reach out to me.

Then I managed to get a new project and used it to learn new technologies: modern java, scala, modern js, hadoop, spark, and so on. In the same period I also gave a bunch of tech talks at local meetups. By 38 I had a resume good enough that I basically picked my employer and job of choice, applied and was hired immediately. Recruiters contact me all the time.

I don’t want to say your resume is your problem having not seen it, but for me it definitely was.
That is a question I've been asking myself a lot: What is the cause and what the effect? Do people really want a new expensive car every 3-5 years and are willing to part with a lot of their income to do it? Or do most people simply never ponder the possibility of working less or retiring earlier, and as a result make their "mandatory work time" more enjoyable by consuming? I'd wager that more often than not it's the latter. The third option is that they realise the option to work less but are afraid that they'd feel less valuable to society or wouldn't know what to do with themselves and thus wilfully work full-time (and consume to match).

Not according to the EPA [1]. In the US, transportation accounts for 28% of greenhouse emissions, and 82% of that (i.e. 23% of the total) from road vehicles [2]. If you could convert all of them to net zero vehicles in 10 years, that would be 2.3% emissions reduction per year. Not the full 4% needed, but not too shabby either.

NYC's initial antibody study tested 3,000 people and came back with 21.2% positive.

NYC expanded their antibody testing to 7,500 people last week and as of Monday it had come back with a 24.7% positive rate.

> Building on an initial testing run of 3,000, another 4,500 random New Yorkers have been screened since last week for antibodies, which would indicate that their immune system battled the bug, the governor said in his daily Albany press briefing.... Some 24.7-percent of those tested in the city were found to have antibodies, up from 21.2-percent in the first round.

It's funny how everything that bell labs alums have touched has influenced computing in a way that isn't publicly acked and how the network and namespace ideas in plan9 and inferno have become foundational to cloud native infra. Pikes assertions in a couple cases are just wrong or exemplify naivete however. He is surprised by how a language designed to be opaque to casual examination, statically compiled and used in a majority of high profile cloud native applications (where the install is often download and run a go binary as part of an un-examined curl | sh pipeline) is happily used for malware? Also interesting how designers of languages who are formerly avid critics of PL become reticent and opposed to negativity as authors. Finally he touts the 'hard' problem of concurrency that GO offers an unanticipated solution for as if OpenMP hasn't been around as a functional approach since 98 for concurrent programming in the HPC and scientific domains.
I think I disagree on the "managers don't author features" part. This is leadership 101. Don't ask anyone on your team to do anything you wouldn't (or couldn't) do yourself. Maybe you have 10 years of experience authoring features other places and now you're above that. But what if the place you are now in charge of is so broken features couldn't get released even if you knew how to build them? You're basically going to blame your subordinate individual contributors' skill set or motivation or something. Without trying it yourself, you won't see how broken it actually is.
Where WHO and others were mistaken in their communication was where they were discouraging use of facial covering. And I meant only that here.

I cannot comment on Vault as I have not tried it yet, but I am a happy user of sops for some deployments.

In my case the secrets are stored in a sops-encrypted JSON file in the repository. Sops encrypts the secrets but keeps the JSON structure so changes to a specific secret can be tracked in git with a oneline change instead of a binary blob diff of the full file which is very nice.
This is just not true, the vast majority of people are not manufacturing smartphones, they're just pushing papers (selling you insurance you don't need, signing you up for a loan you don't need, selling you your 6th pair of shoes, etc.). We could easily sustain our livelihood with much less work, but that would free up too many minds to start wondering why we reward a tiny fraction of our population with the vast majority of the wealth we generate as a society. The boot stays on our throats because the billionaire class benefits from keeping us chained to our desks.
If we can't enjoy life(or at least be content), why live it?

Most people, in my experience, have to struggle to enjoy life. They spend most of their time working a job they don't really like, come home too tired to do anything meaningful, have weekends where they can't decide between doing something or relaxing, and binge on food and alcohol and teevee to feel like they're alive.

While I'm fortunate in that I naturally enjoy software engineering, there's a lot about the job of being a software engineer that is lacking. I think a lot of programmers would say the same, but because everyone wants to keep their job, they repress their disappointment. People become demoralized with their jobs when company ideals turn out to be lies, leaders lack appreciation for their talent, standards decline, and more and more work is asked of them for the same pay as time goes on. Sure, we can be promoted by changing companies, but that also can come at a huge cost unless you live in Silicon Valley, perhaps. All these things wear on people, encroach on their personal time, and makes them feel trapped. I'm not just talking about the profession of programming. There's lots of alienation happening that's preventing people from enjoying their lives to its fullest. (alienation is probably one of the only theories of marxism that I think are correct)

Maybe we'll learn a lesson from being locked down. I'm not optimistic, but it would be ideal. By now, maybe a lot of people will figure out that they don't have the kind of job security they thought they did, and that sacrificing so much of themselves wasn't really worth it for what they were gaining. Perhaps more people will realize that they don't necessarily need the next promotion, or they will choose to follow their passion because, well, even if they have a high falootin' corporate job, they could lose what they've got anyway, so they might as well do what they enjoy.
Weren’t there a bunch of posts on HN by them?
I can't help but think "so what" if they are list prices. That is how we should compare them is by list prices. If AWS, GCP, and others don't want to have their pricing appear to be exorbitant then they should adjust their list prices.

Also what percentage of their total customers are not paying list price? Is it more than 10%, 20%, 30%? I know that me as an individual I will be paying list prices.

And the problem with not comparing list prices is that of course you can have two or more companies getting discounts with the exact same bandwidth who will be paying vastly different rates.
really? A job is necessary insofar as the value it provides in it's context.
If bagging is not providing value, then the job isn't necessary.

Jobs (unfulfilled value) don't exist to provide a living wage.

A living wage is earned by doing something of value (a job).

So, how hard is this to get around for an ISP?

I've heard of a few that either charge you a modem rental fee or charge you a "self equipment support fee" that just happens to be identical to the equipment rental fee.
on the subject of "dumb problems" and undeserved acclamation:

One day I walked into the break room and observed one of the dev team leaders pissing on about how the vending machine didn't have the snack he wanted. I tapped on the glass right in front of him and he was instantly chagrined at the appearance of what he was missing right in front of his face.

This happens often enough I have some stock humor saved up for the occasion. In a serious tone I told him not to fret, I had observed this was a common problem with good developers who don't take enough breaks and with a little self-examination he could overcome it. In a kidding tone, I told him he was obviously stuck in trap of working too hard to work smart. "Just check your assumptions with a Pareto graph and a lot of life's little dilemmas will fall apart into easy pieces," I sez with a chuckle.

Later on it turned out he had told his team and they had a chuckle over how I enjoyed kidding them. Then they turned to the problem at hand and my guy had an aha moment and realized one of the grounding assumptions they had since literally the beginning of the project was subtly off. The week before I had solved someone's Java boxing/unboxing problem literally by accident in a single glance at the debugging trace whilst kidding him over his attempt to cast Integer into Long (int promoted to Integer in a library call). The team added up all my bad jokes and occasional "accidental" help, and in a collective Aha decided I was some kind of software engineering guru (I'm not - just a lot of painful painful experience to make light of).

And for a few months thereafter the devs would intently ponder everything I said. That quarter I actually got devs assigned to my issues because they all clamored to rub up against my supposed enlightenment, heheh. After I realized what was going on I got my top ten addressed and then suggested they needed to apply their learning to other people's issues...before they discovered my feet of clay...
Generally speaking, Go is one of the easiest languages to write with a simple text editor. Rust is among the hardest due to its complexity and demanding static analysis. This isn't a bad thing, and tools like rust-analyzer make writing Rust a lot easier. But rust-analyzer is amazing technology from the future; hardly an ordinary text editor plugin.

No you didn't. Though there appears to be some ignorance in your question regarding the handling of the situation by the current administration.

Claiming your inauguration was the biggest ever is funny, misleading the public during a pandemic is unacceptable.
If true, it's still going to be hard to push this as the pols won't be happy to admit they may have made the wrong decision by closing the schools. Of course, one could argue that if the study is true/correct, than the school closing decision may have been good decision, bad outcome and not bad decision, bad outcome.

But, of course, now it not a time for nuanced discussion. /s
