Anonymous function and callbacks in PHP are a mess (Have you ever heard of Closure::fromCallable). Native function name and argument order are a mess with no clear convention. This thinks alone have made me abandon the language a couple of years ago. (I have two Zend PHP certifications and I was using PHP since v.3). Now I'm very very happy with fullstack Javascript (plus occasional TS help).
This tool takes all the various privacy settings Windows 10 permits the user to change and offers a convenient place to toggle them all at the same place.

It also offers an application uninstaller and downloads/applies firewall rules to the built-in Windows firewall. Shutup10 does not offer those features.

It _doesn't_ allow the user to completely disable telemetry on Windows 10 Home or Pro, which is the primary reason to use Shutup10 in the first place. For privacy purposes you want Shutup10 not this program.
> Fast men are very competitive with horses over long distances [0].

This might be true, but the citation says the opposite:

> In 2013, extensive forestry works meant the organizers had to modify the route considerably, resulting in a course of nearly 24 miles, instead of the usual route of just under 21 miles. Despite a very hot day, the longer and hillier course favoured the horses, with 2011 winner Beti Gordon comfortably beating the first man, Hugh Aggleton.

> Following a number of criticisms of the extended course in 2013 and 2014, the course for 2015 was shortened back towards 21 miles. This provided a more even match between man and equine

And this juicy bit from a reference:

"Does temporary mood influence the occurrence of the fundamental attribution error (FAE)? Based on recent affect–cognition theorizing and research on attributions, 3 experiments predicted and found that negative moods decrease and positive moods increase the FAE, because of the information-processing consequences of these affective states. In Experiment 1, happy mood enhanced and sad mood reduced dispositional attributions based on coerced essays advocating unpopular opinions. " [1]

Wait, so dour cynical people are better at interpreting events? Hmm.

Bell's Theorem doesn't say that at all. It just puts constraints on what such a deterministic system would have to be. For example a non-local deterministic system could well be compatible with Bell's Theorem.
For every character in the password, you have 26 possible letters to choose from in an English alphabet.

Brute forcing this, you would have to try every combination. Which means for a four-letter long password:
26x26x26x26 = 456 976 possible passwords.

For a 10 letter long password:
26^10 = 141167095653376 possible passwords.
Sure, but somehow the total number of jobs has still managed to increase from 1910 to 2010. Automation shifts the work humans do. So far, it hasn't replaced the need for humans to do work, or we'd have a shrinking job market, which we didn't have prior to Covid (a temporary situation).

The power of capturing knowledge in meetings
In my observations of the American public, people generally seem to be fine with the extreme sentences and punishment that the system doles out. We’re completely apathetic towards most criminals (usually unless they happen to be rich & white), without understanding the circumstances that created their situation.

Take the Crystal Mason case. She’s a Texas woman of color who voted illegally in the 2016 election and got a 5 year prison sentence[0]. The problem was that her parole officer never told her she was ineligible to vote, so she went to the polls thinking that she was doing so legally. Now, not knowing what you’re doing is a crime isn’t a legally sound defense argument, but it does raise serious questions about how we view punishment and those we deem should be punished. While I don’t think that crimes shouldn’t be punished, 5 years for voting mistakenly is an abhorrent sentence, and serves to further divide power between the rich and poor.

Sorry, was talking about my digression - the persecution complex. Which is real and very evident. And must have a reason (beyond everyone being irrational or reactionary).

Sure public money is tangentially involved in everything sciencey, because private industry has a terrible time financing science. But one reason the public finances science, is so industry can grow and thrive and remain competitive. Imagine the other approach: the government 'owns' every innovation and controls industry. Not a pretty situation.

There are plenty of people who generally feel the same way and stay away from social media in general(myself included). Which is incredibly odd when you are building things that are aimed at those exact people. A case of "don't use your own supply" I suppose.

Given the idea I had at the time, probably not. But I'd like to think it would have enriched the lives of myself and others, all the same.

In broad strokes, I'm more capitalist than communist, so I don't really disagree with the whole "greed is good" thing. Where I part ways is the unstated - often, I suspect, un-recognized - premise that it's the only good. Money's only useful for what it can buy, and its value has been artificially inflated by a social structure that makes it something that you just can't live without.

And everyone working on PHP libraries in C know what a request is and that it ought to be ephemeral, so even outside the core language there's a clearer understanding.

If there's no official standard, but everyone follows a community standard, then that is the standard. Quit being pedantic.

Hopefully PHP 8's attributes work to fix the mess that is phpdoc being used for annotations.
No, you use your package manager's alternatives system to manage who gets the "default" name.
The mechanism and reasoning behind protection and rehabilitation are simple enough to understand.

With the punishment component in this model I imagine the aim is to dissuade rational people from committing crime in the first place? Is it also to assuage the specific anger of the victims, or the abstract anger of society as a whole, or does vengeance not play a part in the morality of punishment?

The speed is the main reason I decided to experiment with building a Node.js module last week that allows you to use PHP as a templating engine for Express apps: https://www.npmjs.com/package/php

I had guessed that PHP might be faster than mainstream JS-based templating systems like EJS and in my tests so far in an app I'm building it appears my guess was right. Even with the overhead of serializing and deserializing the data model from Node to PHP, on one of my more complex templates the PHP version outperforms the EJS version by around 10%.

Hack is interesting and the native C++ interface is a breeze. But choose PHP if you want to live. Hack has only a fraction of the PHP ecosystem and if you mix with PHP, then you lose the advantages very quickly.
Why do you think so? Purism created its products using crowdfunding, i.e. they sold their devices (and free software on them) before anyting was created.
> (and "in practice" is the important bit here because the reasons i've seen people put forth for having Qt/Java applications ported to Haiku and ignore Haiku's own APIs are all about practicality - which ignores the elephant in the room which is that if you care about practicality using Haiku in the first place wouldn't be a good choice anyway)

I have to agree with this. Although, if Haiku met a few more of my personal criteria for what I'd like in a Desktop OS I would be willing to sacrifice a good deal of practicality to use it. For some, that threshold may already be met.

It’s actually very common - trees will take root in the slightest crack or depression, can even cause large boulders to split over over time. Load up duck duck go and do an image search for “trees in rocks” and there are plenty of examples.
The APM limit was averaged over longer periods of time. So AI "saved" the APM during boring parts of the game and then used it up all in a short bursts of over 1000 APM during crucial battles. It was especially visible during the blink-stalker Protoss vs Protoss against MaNa (very micro-intense matchup).

Blink stalkers are very cost-effective units that are balanced by being very hard to micromanage perfectly. It's basically impossible over large area (during battles that take more than 1 screen) because it's pseudorandom which of your stalkers is targetted and needs to blink in any given moment, and you need to move the screen to that place to blink the stalker in time. AI knows health of all units without the need to move the screen to see it so it knows where to move the camera in advance.

AI perfectly micromanaged full limit army of blink stalkers during a battle that was 3-screens big. No human could physically do it with the current starcraft UI.

It's like chess pieces were 100 kg each and AI was steering an industrial robot :) Interesting, but it's mostly measuring stuff that's not about AI :)

In the next game MaNa went into immortals (units that specifically exist to counter stalkers in pvp), and still lost, because AI blink stalker micro was just so impossibly good.
> deep learning requires far more examples to train image recognition

Than kids? Who have have video input 10h/day for years (~1B images) and can also choose their examples actively?

There are many ways in which deep approaches differ from kids (understatement of the year?), but to say that kids don’t see a lot of data seems not quite right. They’ve got a huge “world model” to draw on by the time they are good at one- or few-shot learning.
A bit ironic given that you are writing a comment in a social media website, hacker news. :)
Long time ago I was learning Perl, because at that time basically the whole Internet ran on Perl CGI scripts. I thought, "man, Perl is weird".

Then I learnt PHP, because whole internet seemed to move to Apache+PHP. I thought, "man, that's Perl done right!".

Then I actually learnt Perl, looked at my PHP code written earlier. I thought "WTF?"

Now I use Python. I think "man, why I have to type this silly whitespace?"
Machines are naturally scarce, you need resources and labour to build them for each machine. Software is artificially scarce, the reproduction cost for software is almost zero.

So while it is understandable that hardware will be limiting and that cannot really be helped, software should never be a limiting factor in education imho. One can never remove all obstacles, but the easily avoidable ones should be avoided.

Btw., similar arguments apply to books, there is no reason digital versions of books used in education shouldn't be free (as in beer and freedom).

Every time there's a story about PHP there's a comment like yours, and then in reply there's a comment like mine:

Yes it's perfectly fine to use PHP if it's a productive environment for you. Of course it's possible to write good software with it. Of course a skilled developer will manage to do great things with sub-standard tools. Many extremely popular websites were and even still are powered by PHP, that's undeniable.

But that doesn't mean that we should absolve PHP of all its many, many design errors over the years. There were for a long time many fundamental issues with PHP as a language that didn't exist with its peers. The language was not so much designed as it was cobbled together by amateurs starting from a half-backed templating engine.

I'm not saying that to hate on PHP, I just believe that it's important to learn from your mistakes if you don't want to end up reproducing them. It's important to acknowledge the many failings of PHP even if many of them are now ancient history.

This revisionist stance that there was never anything really wrong with PHP and it's just Lispers who hated on the language because it was popular and beginner-friendly and they didn't know what they were talking about is simply, factually, provably untrue.
I've suffered some significant injustice at the hands of another, and for what it's worth their punishment has provided nothing for me.

My experience has completely reversed my thinking about the way criminals are treated. Punishment compounds loss and has provided nothing to me or society. If prison could effectively protect society while providing rehabilitation I don't think any specific punishment would be necessary.
The problem with your reasoning is that often free software is better in usability.
> One thing that still sucks is package management / composer

What about Composer? Sure is in par with Slack when it comes to memory usage, bit it's functional and feature rich. v2 has partial offline support, faster downloads, etc. (https://php.watch/articles/composer-2).

Composer IMHO is one of the best dependency managers for any language out there.

Note also that no messages in Discord, including individual messages/DMs, are end-to-end encrypted. This is precisely the same security issue that Zoom has (and Slack, and IRC without OTR).

Discord can and does log all messages through the system, and has many internal tools that operate on the plaintext. Anything you communicate through Discord you should assume any/all Discord staff may read.

They claim that the voice comms are e2e but there are no further details available (like where the keys are generated).

But in contrast, US manufacturing jobs have disappears much faster than that - by 1/3 in the 2000's alone. So the conclusion (few jobs remain, per-capita) is still a good one.

It's possible to set up your repo to have issues disabled, which will get rid of the majority of FOSS's costs.

It’s a question of implementation. Consider say a 10% dividend on the economy, in the US that’s 6,300$ per year per person. Which does not sound like much to live on, but historically represents a significant income. Not that the US would adopt such a system, but it could by cutting back other spending like social programs.

A tiny group might try to live in it, but more would see seasonal jobs as enough. As automation improves in general people would work less over their lifetime. Critically this would likely slow down the economy in the short term, but the constant minor labor shortage would presumably push for ever more automation to offset this.

Unfortunately, it needs to be a pay go system based on a fixed economic percentage to really work. But, assuming it was the general population would suddenly have a huge incentive to promote automation and economic growth.
