> "... if the door is left open to voluntary conversion, so that anyone who wants to can come over to the winning side, the winning side will sooner or later convert almost everyone who is capable of making trouble. (In the language of Vilfredo Pareto, this would probably be termed "capture of the rising elite"; in the language of present-day Marxists, this would be described as "utilization of potential leadership cadres from historically superseded classes"; in the language of practical politics, it means "cut in the smart boys from the opposition, so that they can't set up a racket of their own.")"

followed by an asian postmortem. As the domino theory turns out not to have held water, the lessons Linebarger wished to offer have largely fallen on deaf ears:

> "Sir Henry Gurney, the High Commissioner of the Federation who was murdered in 1952, was a veteran of irregular warfare. He had faced the Zionist terrorists in Jerusalem and was a man without fear. His approach to the problem of confronting Communism was hopelessly sane. The Communists were offering young Chinese the intoxication of craziness, of a mad and heroic righteousness to justify the misspending of their lives. Sir Henry's answer was decency, goodness, security, prosperity, authority, liberty under law. He offered everything except glamor, terror, inspiration, and romance—
Everything except the chance to join the British side.

> What kind of British side?

> A British side which, like the Communist side, would welcome the makers of the future, the builders of the next civilization, the arbiters of history.

> The Communists have presented a high bid against the U.S. and Britain as well as the other Western powers. We have not yet overbid them. The high bid is the opportunity to join, to belong, really to be equal, not just legally equal, and, above everything, to share, to struggle, and to work under conditions of heroism for a common goal."[2]

Note that the Inner Party has internalised these lessons well, operating as a colour-blind meritocracy despite Goldstein having been written several years (in a meta-fiction) earlier than Dr. Linebarger wrote (in non-fiction).

One major expense for a restaurant is rental costs for a dine-in area.

That is what makes a restaurant a restaurant, rather than a takeaway. Restaurants didn't end up with dine-in areas by accident, nor do they offer in-house dining as some kind of loss-leader, they have it by choice because it makes them more money!

(that is, pre-Covid, of course...)
Thanks for pointing it out, didn't know that.

But I think your second point is more to do with the fact `import` by default imports `default` instead of the whole thing.

If you use import * as x from 'x'; then `const {y} = x;` works.

I personally will consider it is `import from` being different from a typical object instead of {x} here being different from typical destructuring assignment (by that I mean they still follow the same pattern; not necessarily say they're the same thing.)

If the organization of files in your repo is your biggest problem, you've obviously got excellent code and no tech debt.

In which case you probably have enough free time to build a tool that just moves files around at runtime. Organize your repo however you want, then run your tool as a wrapper for any other command, and it'll move all files into the places other tools expect them. Now you've solved the problem, which was that humans like aesthetically pleasing things that serve no useful purpose.
Probably not, I lived in rural Florida (40 minutes from a grocery store) and now I live in a major city. One thing you cannot replace about a city is the how reliable EVERYTHING is.

Power? Always working for me, one outage in 3 years. Water? No wells to dry up, also no power required for me to get water (water pump). Sewage? No septic tank maintenance. Internet? Fiber straight to my condo and never have an outage.

Meanwhile in my rural life, I had Verizon wireless internet with a 5gb data cap, one time the cell tower got zapped and no internet for two days. Our well died 3 times in 10 years, which meant no water until we dug a new one. We drove over the septic tank and broke it, so that cost a pretty penny.
Every single electronic in the home had a UPS because our power browned out nearly daily.

Then you have things like living near an AWS warehouse, so I get 1 day shipping on a lot of items.

Cities have a life style that I enjoy more, maybe I'll move to the suburbs but I'll always stay in a major metropolitan area.

Journalists have already been called out for this, so it's likely not a useful metric any more. The accounts they choose to follow are likely carefully calculated since they're aware it's visible and people look at these things.

Anyone can have multiple Twitter accounts, so it'd be trivial to have another account that follows a different set of accounts that one scrolls through normally.

Yes, that's why humans can read it on Github. Many people put even ASCII art into it (and restrain from actual HTML tags despite those are just fine in Markdown). So actually no disagreement from my side on that one, at least for me. Your mileage may vary.

Oh what a reminiscence to back then when exchanging software on floppy disks, and when the !readme.txt not written in your language, you found the "link" to the file in your "docs" folder often at the very top.

Or you just found the docs folder, in case no readme there.

Btw., this works on Github, too. The docs folder is normally directly visible above the fold while the read-me might not, especially when there is a long list of files which OP put on topic.

There's a sort of magic trick involving doing perfect riffle shuffles where the whole deck retains it's order. If my memory is correct if you perform 8 perfect riffle shuffles (split deck 50/50, riffle one for one card correctly) then the order resets itself after 8 shuffles. It's usually only performed as a demonstration of skill by experienced card magicians than as a standalone trick.
>>> K-pop doesn't have the same mass audience as other genres of music.

As a VERY casual consumer of either genre, I find that baffling. My personal assessment is that K-pop is heavier on "sexy" style[1][2][3] vs J-pop's "cute" style[4][5]. Sex sells, and IMO K-pop girl groups sell it better than J-pop. So it's strange that they don't attract the same sort of universal fanbase as other international female entertainers.[6][7]

Commentdämmerung – On GPT-3 Imitations
Huh? Are you saying the restaurant can suck more rent from dinners than the landlord from them?

I think that was true in certain situations, but very hard to pull off in general. We are seeing a shift away from restaurants as a luxury good, and in doing so I think the mythos of white table cloths, domestic labor cos-playing, etc. will go away. That, in turn, was I think a big part how they raised margins, so I think the basic cloud kitchen premise is correct.

It depends on what you're doing obviously, but for the majority of businesses the answer is "Never". A well written PHP/MySQL app will cope with tens of thousands of users easily. There are good reasons to use other languages (security, ease of use, strong typing, maturity, lower developer costs, etc) but choosing PHP certainly isn't going to make your startup any more or less likely to work.

What about removing authorization to drop a database?

Creating and destroying databases happens so sparingly, it can be done by some "root" user that is allowed to create the other users.

Granted that ot won't fix the problem if the next operation is to recreate all tables.

I'd argue the main question is: how is possible the test suite runs on the same db as the application? Even for local development it's a nightmare.

From the very start I've always heard HT being good for memory-bound applications. That's how it was explained and marketed.

Some years ago I worked on such an application, and we got a ~80% speed increase going from 4 threads to 8 threads on a 4-core with HT enabled. I wouldn't expect compute-bound applications to get anywhere near such gains.

Makes me wonder where those with a misconception got it from.

> why such a hazardous site was allowed to be built so near people in the first place.

I don't know about this specific case, but the chronology is usually reversed. Someone gets a permit and builds a hazardous factory somewhere suitably close to a city that it has access to transportation and employees, but far enough to be safe, with adequate safety areas. Then, over time, the city needs more room and since the factory hasn't blown up yet, it seems safe enough to expand right up to it...

Thanks for the response. I'm surprised you can even get too much D with sun exposure. The thing is: I used to take vitamin D supplements fairly regularly, but now I barely take any. I will go weeks without supplementing, but when I do, I get headaches. No increased urination though, which would happen if i had excess calcium, and no nausea/vomiting.

Last time, i tried 5000IU, but this came after weeks of not taking any D supplement, and I've not taken any since. My reasoning is: that would effectively make the average dose < 400 IU, so shouldn't give me any problems, yet it does. Maybe I'm getting more from the sun than i realize :/
Gitlab has been "concentrating on performance" for literally years at this point. Their evangalists always point at open bugs, and show progress every time a new release is made, and yet I can't recommend it.

I wish I could use gitlab more, because I loved their runner-system. Nice and useful, and some of their integrated systems are really nice (such as the container registry). But at the same time so much stuff has been bolted on, seemingly in a hurry, that it's hard to recommend unless you're a masochist.

On the plus side of course Gitlab, and source hut, as well as the other lighter-weight systems do provide pressure to Github - so even if I don't use them again their existance is useful.

well coroutines are a way better option and working way better than promises, unfortunatly promises were introduced since it's easier to convert a callback function to a promise based one
Sure, it's not the only option, just the better option for Javascript. Your example isn't representative of Javascript.

This is an example for something that might come up in Javascript, using async/await:

const a = await fetchA();
const b = await fetchB(a);
const stuff = await fetchStuff(a, b);
const transformedStuff = await Promise.all(stuff.map(someAsyncTransform));

Error handling is just try/catch.

Note that you generally have no control over most of these function being asynchronous. Threads or coroutines do nothing to help you write straightforward code when all your libraries are based on fine-grained callbacks/promises. Writing out that chain of dependencies in CPS would be a nightmare.

> The cost of maintaining a large C++ application (>1MLOC) with a large team over years is very significantly higher than a similar Java application.

I am very skeptical of this, I don't know why it would be the case. My experience is that with modern C++ and avoiding inheritance programs end up much more direct and clear since a type isn't fragmented into multiple classes and base objects don't need to be used for generic programming and data structures.

> C++'s rabbit holes, from undefined behaviour, through partial evaluation with templates and constexprs, to compilation times and sheer language complexity are far deeper.

This seems like what would be said by someone who has just read a few comments on C++ here and there but not actually used it for non-trivial projects. These are rarely issues. I don't know what 'partial evaluation with templates' means and constexprs didn't even exist until recently. Compilation times do seem to be a big problem, mostly because many projects don't do anything with their structure to mitigate them.

>Kinda like Montessori except with code?

There's an education theory called Constructionism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructionism_(learning_theo...) which is all about kids learning through active engagement with the material. Montessori is one constructionist method.

Seymour Papert was a pioneer of constructionist theory and contributed to the Logo programming language as well as writing the book "Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas" which became the namesake of the LEGO robotics line which it inspired.

"Minds in Play: Computer Game Design As A Context for Children's Learning" is another book that uses game design (and Logo) as a platform for constructionist education.

Constructionism has been important to the development of computer interfaces as well since it inspired Alan Kay and his Dynabook concept (which inspired the iPad), which was designed with the intent of making a child-friendly computer.

I'm certain Minecraft is a gateway to developing technical thinking, especially if kids start wanting to mod the game (and maybe even make their own mods, at which point they have to reason about the underlying system).

At one of my previous jobs we scaled a large travel website you have heard of on PHP pretty successfully. The only thing that hurt us badly was using Symfony, it was a HUGE memory hog and exposed really bad issues with PHP APC. We basically need 1gb of ram per CPU core, an insane figure compared to modern PHP.

This basically caused us to not use the framework in specific areas to maximize performance, and use a network layer cache to prevent booting up the framework entirely.

As with most web tech, the main issues revolved around our database scale, we had to switch to multi-master around 2012 and it was a huge pain in the ass, also database migrations causing multi hour replica lag...

Honestly with modern cloud infra, auto scaling groups or serverless, I would have no concerns scaling PHP.

The way I always put it to anyone asking this kind of question: Build an app that scales that large and then hire someone else to deal with it :)
