You are trying to portray ISLAM as religion of peace. It is not. ISLAM is incompatible with democracy. I understand all types of people exist given the amount of population. With ISLAM it is followed very strongly and that's why even physics majors don't question the existence of god in the open even when they are non in the Islamic state.
Maybe it would be more convincing if you could see something, anything other than pure black - buildings, a tree line, whatever. As it is, it's literally a white dot on a black background - I couldn't even see any image noise in the black (although I am on mobile).
I'll grant both of those points, with the caveat that I wasn't trying to say that PHP is the best choice for anyone to solve my project's problem set, but rather the best choice for me.
It's hard to tell, since that data isn't publicly available. But I read this article, which makes the case that this is often the case, and that marketing departments are willfully ignoring this, because it's in their interest to appear useful to the rest of their organization, and it's easy to hide using bad statistics: https://thecorrespondent.com/100/the-new-dot-com-bubble-is-h...
A friend of mine works at a large hospital in the New England area in the ICU. Having COVID19 is no longer enough of a reason to stay home. It's assumed you're going to get it, and have to really be suffering from it before you're allowed to stay home. Similarly, this friend says that they've seen people they KNOW has it walking around without a mask.

We are so screwed.
Even if you assume incompetence for not realizing Wirecard is a scam, using prosecutors to harass and threaten opponents of the company is corruption.
I completely agree, but this isn't a new problem in medicine. If we couldn't fix it during normal times, I doubt we are going to fix it during a pandemic when staff are already overworked.
That's a common misperception. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23807579. There is a lot more where that came from.

People make generalizations about HN based on what they see, but they see what they notice and are far more likely to notice what they dislike and weight it more heavily (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). Basically that means your image of HN is likely to fill out as an inverse image of your own views. In other words, HN will seem to be full of your enemies. That explains why the other side sees the forum as being made up of their enemies.

Everyone here needs to accept—because it's reality—that the forum is simply divided on divisive topics. It's divided roughly the way that society at large is divided in the many countries whose citizens participate here. No doubt there is some skew (because of factors like education and class), but with the exception of a small number of issues like, say, software patents, it's likely not a major skew. Perceptions of major skew on HN are overwhelmingly rooted in cognitive bias, which explains why they're so contradictory and all over the place.

One reason this is so important is that when someone perceives HN as being dominated by enemies, they are much more likely to go into battle mode. If instead you perceive it as being a more-or-less representative sample of the world, that's still rough—the world is not as we would like it to be—but there's at least a greater possibility of openness. I wrote more about this here, if anyone's interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098.
thanks for the data support. it's really about getting people to take sensible precautions (by making them easy and reasonable), not going overboard and inducing a backlash due to disregarding relevant issues and consequences.
Python isn't a framework, but in contrast to Pythom, PHP made some bad decisions that are hard to roll back, the biggest being cramming hundreds of inconsistently named standard library functions into the default namespace. PHP can be very productive but I think it's fair to day it was designed a lot less intentionally than many languages.
The other main (safe) alternative to Rc<RefCell<T>> for mutable aliasing is Vec + generational indices, which also involves an expect/unwrap assertion whenever you expect something to be alive and it isn't. If you need mutable aliasing, you're going to incur run-time costs, whether in Rust or any other language.

The other approach that I like for mitigating the cost of mutable aliasing (in Rust and Vale and some other languages) is to rearchitect the program such that the world (or some subset of it) is frozen, we do a lot of heavy calculation and make an "effect", and then unfreeze the world to apply it. Vale's region borrow checker [1] will make that zero-cost, like Rust's borrow checker does.

If we must have mutable aliasing, I like the balance you speak of, where one can use a blend of runtime-checked aliasing at the high level and borrow checking at the low level. I hope that borrow checker zen moves in that direction. Cone [2] emphasizes that exact balance, and I think there's a lot of promise there.

That's what I would ask BLM protestors making people kneel on the basis of their gender, skin, or job, in the same ironic tone.

That's a big if.
PHP has been on-par with Ruby and Python for a long time now. There's no reason to hate it, but also not a lot of reason to use it (or Ruby), since I think Python really has the mindshare now.
It's certainly not a popular opinion, but it's definitely an uninformed opinion. The aim of NewPipe is not to "stick it to the man" or even to advertisers, it's to create a superior viewing experience that removes much of the bloat of Youtube's official app, and also being light on system resources. Whereas the official app used to crash and warm up my Moto G5 Plus, NewPipe has been running like a dream for years.
I'm often struck with how poorly though through most decisions tend to be. Even detail oriented tech people can be rash and short sighted. Perhaps he was a lone hacker whose surprise success was like money burning a hole in his pocket. Perhaps something spooked him and he was fearful of his breach being discovered.
Yes, any news that is not about massive reductions in total CO2 emissions (not just from energy sector) should be considered extremely bad news. Because that's what it is. Our collective apathy and resignation to continued destruction needs to stop. We need to be mad as hell and not take it anymore.
They are not. Certainly not any lifetime effects.
My bet is on large-scale databases and data engineering. AI is hyped, but the sad truth is that a lot of the recent advances come from bigger models and making use of more data. Historically the same thing has happened a few times [0]. It's no different this time. Recent advances like big transformers, self-supervised learning, etc, are more examples of that. Even the initial convnet breakthrough in 2012 was possible only because we figured out how to process a large dataset efficiently on a GPU.

Companies will realize that they don't yet need Data Scientists or AI researchers. They need engineers that are really good at building data pipelines, event stores, feature stores, and databases specific to various query patterns. Or perhaps one to rule them all.

You can, using the template element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/te...

I tried that for webcomponents, but I found more to my taste to actually have everything in my javascript file rather than to jump between files (it's not that messy if you keep your components smalls).
I am extremely strict with my purchases, I rarely buy anything not groceries or fuel and I ignore ads.
This is such a surface-level article. Most of the things listed as advantages exist in other languages as well.

Here are some actual reasons to like PHP:

1. Java-like interfaces and classes and strict argument (and soon parameter) typing enforced at runtime

2. Autoloading and "lazy loading" of classes means defining bi-directional relationships between classes/types is painless (this can of course also make you shoot yourself in the foot, but I prefer that to dealing with circular imports in Python for example)

3. The deployment model is dead simple on a VM (with drawbacks, but by the time you need things like atomic deployments you've probably moved to containers anyway)

4. Statelessness

5. Performance (despite the statelessness!)

6. A very healthy package ecosystem, with several cross-framework interoperability projects

It has lots of bad parts as well, of course, but so does every language. And you may disagree with some of the things I listed if you don't like the particular feature or design, but that doesn't make them not advantages.

I mean, you generally want node to be stateless too. the DB should be your state.

Two big points:

a. You can treat it as 'just Javascript' when dealing with bundlers (both complicated stuff like Webpack and simple hacky things like Gulp script concatenation).

b. For JSX and similar variants, because even the template part is 'just Javascript' with semantic sugar for tags, you can statically analyze it in a way that you can't with separate HTML and script content.
I don’t hate PHP either. I just want to be able to get another job doing something interesting after I spend 18 months at your company.

Otherwise I’ll be stuck in the public sector maintaining broken Deloitte unemployment portals, making 1/3rd of what junior coding academy developers make.

Easy calculus.
That 70% is an early estimate of heard immunity while doing nothing differently than pre-covid.

The hope is that its more like 20% gets you herd immunity while practicing moderate social distancing. It's not too unreasonable. Japan has been able to avoid lockdowns and mass testing by mostly just using masks and avoiding very close conversations.
It makes sense. The only reason to live in an urban area is for the social benefits and activities. A small apartment quickly feels like a prison cell when you can't go anywhere or do anything.
And when influenza hits (starting usually September 1st) it is going to get even worse - that will place a lot of load on the system as well.

We will be lucky to end up with less than 750k dead and/or end up locked in our houses for 8-12 weeks straight.
i did not but i do not pay youtube premium. Mostly because all that money will go to RIAA and other DMCA backers, not content creators. Specially not the ones everyone here watches.

Nobody uses youtube because they love it. Everyone uses youtube because google effectively killed all the competition by sliding billions of investor money to DMCA backers. And well, this one time it worked out nice for them, i guess. But it is not a business practice I will support. Fortunately, i'm technical enough to play their cat and mouse game to consume creators who are hostage to their monopoly on discovery.
Whatever irritations I may have with current PHP-the-language (my biggest one is it's too easy to make string handling mistakes) are dwarfed by my irritations with that decrepit but incredibly popular PHP behemoth, WordPress.

The spirit of early-days security-ignorant PHP lives on in WordPress, where proper security is basically impossible. You'll never be confident that you've found all the back doors after an incident.

I'd love to be corrected with primary source but as far as I can ingest from all the recent article's I'm reading, Bloomberg is also the only source that started the whole China is falsifying its covid numbers narrative based on what "the U.S. intelligence community concluded in a classified report to the White House, according to three U.S. officials.

The officials asked not to be identified because the report is secret, and they declined to detail its contents."

This was then parroted in all the other major publications.

For a moment I thought it was Gromit.
I second The Information. A Mind at Play was interesting but a lot of it was about Shannon as a person, and while that was interesting, The Information went a lot deeper into the history of 'information'. I also feel it was much better written.
I guarantee you're better off not spending 20K on a MacBook. These lastest generations are total crap. I've been a MacBook owner/user since 1997 (before they were called MacBook). I never thought I would say that, but the buttefly keyboard debacle has lowered my opinion of Apple hardware to the point I'd consider a non-Apple device for the next one.
In my experience, not quite as fast for fully-tuned code, but the difference is small - and given the same project deadline, the PyTorch version will probably be faster.
And even if you had the solar power, what would you do with it? There is very little industry or value-add in Arabia outside of oil. It would be easier for Europe to just build solar power in the south of Spain, Italy or Greece.
Old cars will remain in use. Electric car sales, even after the big companies start making them, will only represent, say, 50% of all sales.

The world will be majority electric in probably 30 years... If we're lucky.
Sure, but right now, we've got the Georgia governor suing Atlanta to forbid a "proper" lockdown and masking, and an anti-masking political movement.

"It doesn't spread in European schools" doesn't really help us very much in evaluating what'll happen in America right now.
NewPipe just scrapes the website. It uses no official APIs, and it does not try to fool the Google infrastructure into thinking it was the official YouTube app or something.

Google should, at least in theory, treat users of NewPipe same way it treats browser users with adblock.
One of the most useful links. thank you!
I agree. It's fairly common for experienced front end devs who have been bitten by browser incompatibilities in the past to wait several years to adopt the latest CSS techniques. The "old techniques" often work very well.

Most likely if you had asked me "why flexbox and not CSS grid" I would have said "because flexbox is able to perfectly well support this use case, and I'd rather not introduce a dependency on a less well supported CSS feature unless I need to".

I personally tend to prefer using the oldest (within reason) CSS feature that lets me accomplish a task. Or I'll pick the one that best conceptually maps to the task I'm trying to accomplish, if there's a significant difference.

I’m skeptical of the data presentation. It is not surprising that asymptomatic patients have a minimal or low long term IgG antibody count if they didn’t need it to fend off the virus in the first place.

As entitled as it may be, I will assert my right to limit the data I send to Google.

It is a mistake to assume that everyone blocks ads because they do not want to watch ads. In my case, it is playing a game of damage control with a major corporation that has the ability to connect my activities across much of the web. Other people legitimately point to the cost of bandwidth. I am sure that other reasons exist.

It is also to the benefit if creators if they diversify their revenue streams. At the moment, they are far too dependent upon decisions made by Google. Some have realized this by requesting donations from users, merchandising, baking in ads from sponsors, and promoting alternate distribution mechanisms. While seeking out other sources of revenues creates problems for people who are just starting out, it is pretty much a necessity for people who are seeking to earn money from their work.
It's not this simple when managements explicitly asks you not to do this, and takes it as sabotage if you still do it.
This is an underrated comment.

What's intriguing to me is the idea that not only might the killer have been (consciously or unconsciously) role-playing a "professional", but that the police were engaging in the same fantasy.

There were under 200 homicides in NYC in 2020 (to date). Undoubtedly the slimmest minority (if any) were, in the way one imagines, "professional". So it seems safe to assume the homicide detectives might not have significant firsthand experience with which to say, "this seems like a professional job."

I'm reminded a little bit of the Bellagio "Biker Bandit" (https://lasvegassun.com/news/2011/aug/23/bellagio-bandit-get... whole thing seemed super professional (full-face motorcycle helmet, full body-suit, in-and-out in minutes)...but it turned out to be a dude with a gambling problem and an Oxy habit.
NewPipe doesn't use the API, it scrapes everything from the website. And it includes its own youtube-dl-like library.
It will unfortunately get worse with all the people and money pulling out of downtown if this continues.
I still prefer using PHP than Java or something else when it comes to write proof of concepts.

Nothing can beat features like hot reloading, fast debugging, get things done in a matter of few hours.
I'm assuming your second scenario is what went down: gain access to target accounts, export DMs, then execute the public bitcoin scam as proof of work.
Does this mean that there are a boatload of jobs that are suddenly okay with working remotely out of state? From my SV engineering circle, none of their companies have updated their policies to allow moving out of state.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I mean, not only did deleting the FB iOS app years ago actually mess up my phone and necessitate a full system restore (super sketchy IMO), I'm pretty suspicious of how hard some sites pressure you into installing their mobile app (Reddit is a definite offender here). Considering, no, actually just looking at this one search result on a page in the browser I'm already in is _definitely easier and more convenient_, it is not "best in the app!!111"
I was involved in e-commerce when The Grommet came about and they have a lot to be proud of. That said, the reason for things ending with the founders losing control is that they took a lot of money and then didn't live up to expectations.

Put more directly, they never held their own against Kickstarter, IndieGogo, or Etsy.

Their investor/owners went from Rakuten (the Amazon of Japan) to Ace Hardware. The latter probably thinks of The Grommet as a way to use quirky products to get people into physical stores. At that point the founders probably want out more than they are letting on.

Teaching isn't just about presenting the information to the student.

That's basically all you've done. Here, student, read these complex topics and at the end of it all you will have learned machine learning!

The art of being a teacher is much more nuanced. You (apparently) fail to present the material in a way that is accessible, relatable, and not overwhelming.

For example, the first thing you say to do is go read a college textbook front to back, and do all the exercises. And you're surprised that nobody has followed your steps?
Why do you say it's technically unfeasible? The articles I saw "debunking" Bloomberg are pretty weak on their arguments. Even if Bloomberg got some things wrong, a tiny chip that subverts motherboard firmware to phone home for instructions is possible in something rice sized, for a sophisticated state actor. Network stacks already exist in firmware. You'd need to inject maybe 4KB of instructions somewhere, but I can't imagine it'd be many orders of magnitude more than that to bootstrap such a process.

The suspicious silent non-retraction raises a red flag for me, that there may have been some kind of intervention to stop their reporting on the topic.
Sorry, you are correct. Drop the final parenthetical, then, but I stand by the rest.
The issue is without some form of radio ID it's pretty tough to catch bad actors that don't strike in one place multiple times. Right now to find someone they either have to be stumbled upon while doing it or with the device, be dumb and brag about it, crash and have it traced back to them via video on the quad, or get caught with radio direction finding equipment.

To apply that to your classroom example instead of being easily identifiable the kids are anonymous, very fast, and appear and disappear quickly. In that case is it that weird to try to make a way to differentiate everyone?

Quads/drones/UASs are in a pretty tough to regulate sphere because they fly and can do a lot of damage it's not that wild for governments to try to get a handle on them.

I'm astounded by the number of attempts at persuasion in this thread. Around claims that deserve hard evidence. Just wait for the evidence and say "I don't know" in the meantime. I see nonsense like "because other Sars viruses act like this we can assume blah blah blah". No we can't. Nature is full of bizarre surprises and scientific consensus changes often enough thanks to research and hard evidence. If you have meta studies on Coronavirus, please cite them. Otherwise stop with the "educated" guesses. You're better than this HN.

Ok, so according to Wikipedia, "Googles' ADT was the official IDE for Android until 2015 but was replaced by Eclipse's Andmore and the official Android Studio."

So I was slightly incorrect in that there seems to have been a name change at the same time (as I say, I'm not an Android dev, so I didn't know that).

I was definitely seeing IntelliJ in use, and hearing a lot of praise for it circa 2011 - 2013, so it does look to me like the love for it precedes the Android dev environment switch.
