Funny when people complain about PHP is bad, I don't tend to find any specific reference.

If bashing others' work make you feel cool, then you need to start checking the facts.

My complaint is the inconsistency in the function parameter orders of same categories and the fact it's one of the few languages that still require semi colons at end of lines. Former is pretty much unfixable though unless they introduce same features through new objects.

And the newly introduced typing is just too basic after you've gone through TypeScript but this can be improved.

I live in the UK and I am amazed that date palms do well here, in a country with much higher rainfall and it does get colder than the middle east. Also agaves seem quite happy (what tequila is made out of.

What's actually more surprising than cold tolerance is that water tolerance; desert-y plants tend to be adapted to be needing periods where their roots are dry for long periods. Let them stand with wet feet and many desert plants get very upset.

I guess the middle east was wetter even in roman times, so perhaps that answers part of that.

To flip the chicken question around a bit, it's perhaps odd that chickens can cope not with the cold but with their native heat so well, what with wearing a full-body, heavy down jacket all the time in their native tropical jungle.
We have none of these things. We have theories which say interesting things about small and fast things. But the theories don't change when things are small or fast.

MOND is excluded experimentally (violates observation of galaxies with and without dark matter). It is unsound theoretically.

OKRs don't need to be set in stone. If an easy to measure quantity (time spend with family) does not translate to reaching the aim (being closer to ones family) you can just change the plan and the OKRs. But surely spending time with your family seems like a first good step to try.
Maybe not. But Microsoft has 100,000+ employees. These chipset manufacturers may have 100+. So there's that.
I don't think that's optically possible without either a teleprompter or a "punch-hole" display. "Teleprompter" sounds sophisticated but basically a pepper's ghost box for cameras, there are plenty of amateur YouTubers building it "in zero dollars from home waste" manners. Half-silvered glass or polarized filter is nice but not necessary from what I understand.

Somewhat tangentially, what I find from sudden rise in stay-home teleconferencing is that TV hosts as well as corporate teleconferencing users are almost completely clueless about teleconferencing compared to YouTubers and streamers, people think a superwide Logitech webcam and a laptop on your lap in a bathroom is all it takes. YouTubers run Sony Alphas all day with nice primes, some even REDs ARRIs, large dia condenser mics, Shure is entry-midrange there ... So a lot is there to learn from them, especially on budget.
And this is how it should work Instead of whining about “regulating tech” every time they do something you don’t like, create your own platform where like minded individuals are free to congregate.

It’s surprising that so many conservative groups who are the first to want deregulation and the free market when it suits them wanted government interference when big tech was being mean to them.

> a bit weird to say Windows 10 which is on something like a billion computers worldwide, doesn't "work fine"

A operating system that spies on you, constantly nags you to use Edge/Login to a Microsoft account/etc is not one that "works fine" in my opinion.

> If they have an internet connection, Azure Active Directory[1] starts at $Free.

And now you're introducing a third-party dependency, a dependency on the network, a dependency on a service that might be shut down or the pricing model changed, and turned a single local computer that worked fine for a decade into what is essentially a distributed system. Not to mention the admin overhead of setting all of it up.

> What exactly is unpredictable about this?

I'm talking less about updates in this case and more about the other nasty features such as the spying/telemetry, random bugs that weren't there (start menu search is broken despite being fine in Windows 7), advertising/Candy Crush in the start menu, constant nags to use Edge, etc, and whatever else the new update might bring (if it doesn't outright make your system unusable or delete your data).

> Describing a predictable, short, /controllable/ reboot once in months as "constantly getting in your way" is nuts.

Look at my previous point. But regardless of all the other features, if the user has a reason to not install updates, it should be his right to do so. He paid for that computer & Windows license, he's paying for the power and bandwidth. It should be up to him to control how his hardware operates.

Completely agree. As the general "Ops" manager, I hate getting the call at 2am because something broke... I hate it even more when it's not really fixable by me in the first place (e.g. black box appliance or software).. but I feel a heck of a lot better when I can point the finger at an external team that's paid and supposed to be experts... If you outsourced Redis or you DB, and someone like AWS or MongoDB themselves has an issue... Will they pay people a lot of money to simply provide that service reliably... I get paid to keep 20 things connected, not be the subject matter expert in all of them.

The pandemic has done a great job of highlighting weaknesses inherit to democratic governments. Populism and demagoguery, combined with rewarding loyalty and punishing dissidents. A dysfunctional democratic republic isn’t very different from an autocracy. I suspect during times like this it might even weaker, since you end up with no national unity. You can’t deal with a pandemic effectively in this kind of political environment.

And who pushed for this drug? I don’t believe the CDC even cared to consider it that much. But the current administration and Trump were pushing way too hard on this.

> 1. They've never (significantly) used languages that are much better. Maybe they've only done PHP, JavaScript, Java, and C; and think that all languages are pretty bad.

And you don't even mention the languages that you think are better at certain points?

I've mainly used perl, PHP and JavaScript (TypeScript) but I never blame the languages but just struggle to get the thing done while I'd imagine those people who keep complaining about languages (Is it so hard to learn a few best practices for a language?) barely get things done.

Nice to see more work shedding light on this though I think it is completely obvious to anyone in academia. It’s impossible not to notice that all the new assistant professors seem to come from very similar places though I would say that this is typically better in engineering. Chemistry and physics on the other hand...

Also this is not a substantive poiny but the word “novel” is way overused in papers.

California has emissions testing as part of vehicle registration. Historically, this is the same strategy that raised automobile emission standards starting in the 1970's. Or to put it another way, the people who sat around devising the scheme spent all day getting paid to think about it for "n number of days" and have careers worth of experience doing this doing these sorts of things to address these sorts of issues.
Best UI Prototyping Tools to Visualize Your Product Concept
I will keep using a single text file with little structure thanks.
I evaluated both of these for a "serverless" function, that ended up becoming a traditional Spring Boot microservice instead.

However, here are some of my impressions, in no particular order:

1. Micronaut comes from the team behind Grails, which is built on top of Spring. It is clearly designed to be as familiar as possible for developers with Spring experience.

2. Quarkus comes from the developers behind JBoss (or Wildfly, whatever). It is clearly designed to be as familiar as possible for developers with Java EE experience.

3. If you have experience with neither Spring nor Java EE, then the Micronaut documentation will probably be easier to follow. The Quarkus documentation assumes that you already know a lot about CDI and other Java EE standards, and it mostly focuses on how Quarkus differs from those specs. Their documentation SUCKS at presenting the framework to a fresh audience without all that baggage.

4. On the other hand, Quarkus actually delivers on the size and resources hype. I was able to follow the docs with no issue, to use a multi-stage Docker build to make a native executable without GraalVM even being installed (I did have some issues with Gradle, they are clearly Maven-first). Startup is near-instant, even if you AREN'T using GraalVM, and resource use is low.

5. I never got as far with Micronaut in building native executables. And while the startup speed and resource use is lower than a Spring app, it isn't DRAMATICALLY lower. Quite frankly, I think they're in a "mushy middle" position. Not compelling enough to migrate away from Spring... but if you really DO need to go lighter than Spring, then there are better options.

It a nutshell, I might use Quarkus if I wanted to use Java to write a serverless function (or other such constrained context). For general microservices, I'd just continue to use Spring Boot, and wait for their next release or two to steal most of these innovations anyway.

> The money pooling scheme that you’re describing sounds very similar to a chit fund in India. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chit_fund

Yeah, that sounds about right from what they'd tell me when I asked. I lived in many rural Ag areas in Europe and in the US and never saw anything like that before. The difference being that in both those regions Ag is heavily subsidized by the State and access to loans are far more accessible.

But one of the cooler things we saw with Bitcoin was microfinancing in Africa [1] specifically towards subsistence (often female) farmers, where small investments (sub $1000) would allow a mother to send her children to school in order to focus and invest in equipment or repairs that would eventually allow the business to grow and become profitable. From what I recall the default rate for that demographic is incredibly low, a guy who was making up-cycled glass bottle homes in Africa in a ted-talk or something similar went through the numbers during his talk and it stuck with me.

During my apprenticeship one of the farmer's son in Germany I briefly worked with when I got there had just gotten back from a year abroad in Africa for his Ag degree and he had talked about how critical it would shift the entire landscape if greater access to loan programs had emerged while he was there, this was during the Banking collapse in Cyprus, mind you.

He had started to make biochar/pyrolysis device from old oil drums he could source locally at scale and had tried to create a credit system to just get them into people's hands; eventually he gave up because while the demand was there, as were the results in his test fields, the money to achieve a success model was not as many simply couldn't risk defaulting on payment.

Also now that you mention it, I had a regular customer who said they were from a car club when I had my car part business during University that had a similar scheme; they would focus and budget for the costs of a member's car, and with the members dues and money they got from various fundraisers and any donations they got that period they pooled all that money and they'd finish a persons car for that term/year.

I was introduced to them by a girl I met when I lived in the dorms one night and we I only ever spoke to them via AIM, they often always bought misc things like headlights, used seats and fenders from me in Fall and Spring. I totally forgot about that until I read that wiki entry.

Human's have a great ability to adapt to a situation and through effective collaboration it reminds you how amazing we can be at overcoming often insurmountable odds and it also shows that ultimately we are all the same regardless of where we're from as the same means and methods are seen and reflect a collectively held value system.

There are plenty of scientists saying masks have no effect when worn by people who aren't actually both visibly sick and working in healthcare:

In fact manufacturers of ear loop/cloth masks specifically say they can't stop COVID:

https://off-guardian.org/wp-content/medialibrary/EYZu2Q2X0AA...

The WHO said:

https://www.foxnews.com/world/who-guidance-healthy-people-we...

"If you do not have any respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose, you do not need to wear a mask," Dr. April Baller, a public health specialist for the WHO, says in a video on the world health body's website posted in March. "Masks should only be used by health care workers, caretakers or by people who are sick with symptoms of fever and cough."

There's plenty of contradictory research out there. Maybe a mask helps if you're literally coughing up phlegm all over the place, but COVID has a dry cough and obviously symptomatic people don't seem to be the only way it spreads.

Militaries are reliant on domestic production and labor. (Paying Chinese solider costs the government a fraction as much as an American soldier.) So instead of an exchange rate conversion, you should be doing a purchasing-power conversion. For these three countries, that means multiplying by 2x to 4x.

Also, the US is particularly inefficient at capital spending. It costs us a billion dollars to build a mile of subway, and costs countries like France a fraction of that. So that weighs further in favor of discounting our spending in that comparison.
