If you recall the cartoon of programming languages as weapons, PHP was a sword without a hilt, which was quite fitting. Despite the low barrier to entry, there were "features" that were / are distinctly dangerous, and should not have been exposed to beginners (the comments section in the official documentation os a perfect example of this).
I use vim out of the box with no plugins and on windows. Not sure if that makes a difference. I’m also typically not editing the file but searching logs.
You can do whatever you want with your phone already. As I said you don’t own iOS. Install your own OS.
You literally just used the word “endured” to describe the relationship between customers and Microsoft. That’s hardly a glowing endorsement or a strong argument that Apple should follow Microsoft’s lead!

In relation to the thinness, it's the other way around, I guess? Last time I checked most women's clothes don't even have pockets (someone should start a movement for that, the right to have pockets in your pants). My wife's got a massively oversized phone with a big battery pack on the back, while I don't even tolerate a case because it's bulky in my pocket.

I assumed your labelling it a dupe and giving a link meant there was a more interesting discussion on that page. Nope. So I left my comment to warn others not to make the same mistake I did. You didn't seem to understand, so someone tried explaining, then you left another obtuse, mean-spirited comment.
That's a good approach. What would be even more interesting is to evaluate how reliable parts are. Spinning hard drives were often the first thing to fail for instance, due to the mechanical stress. Same thing for ports.

Soldered-on RAM and flash, while almost impossible to upgrade, is way more reliable. No vibrations means way less mechanical stress.
I spend seven hours a week cleaning up litter, watching for dumpers, and reporting garbage; that is the limit of the time and effort I can give.

I have no more time but I do have money.

Supporting my neighbors and neighborhood is exactly what I want to do - assuming they also want clean streets - so your criticism is really a stretch.
Depends on where you live and what you do. I would agree, based on population density in most of the world, that this is probably true.

But in an area like New Mexico, there are lots of people doing jobs where they will drive 150+ miles per day without even thinking about.
One aspect is that there's at least partial causality the opposite way. While earnings are correlated with IQ, they are even more correlated with your family earnings/socioeconomic status (SES); and there are many aspects of how low SES screws up childhood development and education (on average, not necessarily for all individuals) that would result, among other things, in lower IQ test results. I.e. it's a reasonable hypothesis that the correlation implies that low intelligence makes it hard to be rich just as much as being poor prevents one from developing and applying their intelligence.
Yes, in my mind it has exactly the same meaning as “how do you like them apples?”

I've lived in Greece for the last 40 years and even I think in English (when I think in language).
Someone from my dads office gave my some printed pages about ASP from MS. Until that time I was doing all my web dev in Perl (it was basically either that or c) with print "<HTML><BLINK>hello... et. After reading about ASP, I concocted my own miserable php-like thing in perl where you could put perl code in between <% %> to add logic. I tried to find the code (I have it somewhere in dropbox, I'm sure), but I remember I failed at doing it reliably with regexes, so I made a while(1) loop finding all open <% and close %>, escaping the html before and after, printing it and adding the code in between. It was only a handful of lines and worked really well; I wrote a lot of cgi for my clients with it.

But it was slow (even after adding cache) and it need quite a bit of setup and libraries (CPAN with my own layers to make it easier to use), so I was very happy when I discovered PHP 3 (I did not know it existed before that).

Good memories; deploying a site cheaply by scp/rsync the files.

Definitely. I started with PHP when I was only 12 or 13 years old. Adding some logic inside your .html files (mostly includes, that were like magic back then[1]), renaming to .php and upload them to the server using FTP was so simple. A few years later, when I had to set up a lot of things to run Django I was surprised at how hard it was.

PHP was simple to use, and to understand its logic, because it was embeded into HTML itself if you want to. No need to write views, controllers, templates, anything. And most of the shared hosting (paid and free) supported it.

[1]Includes were like magic back then because if you had a heavy content website with a lot of inner pages (fansites), updating the navigation sidebar was a pain in the ass. Originally they were made with framesets, later iframes (with no borders, but if the content changed, a scrollbar appeared). When I (and my friends) started to use PHP and be able to use includes, it was awesome.

It's different because they are recognizing that the issue isn't binary. It' not "bad for the environment" vs "good for the environment". It's recognizing there is a gradient of solutions ranging from "slowly increasing car efficiencies over time to allow for change" and "outright banning fossil fuels starting tomorrow". It's recognizing that "repairability" isn't the only thing to be optimized for.

If the videos online are any indicator, police do a lot more than simply enforce the law: they regularly harass and intimidate anyone behaving in ways that are nonstandard (including simply existing while being a minority or poor) even if no laws are being broken, and suffer no consequences whatsoever for such illegal and often violent conduct.

This is presumably what some people want, but in general the police as protectors of the status quo is, in my view, a bad thing. The status quo sucks and changing it isn't illegal—yet the cops in the US will treat you as it it were.

It's a bad and fiercely unamerican system.
Electric cables can be shared by different companies because they still have the differentiator of how they get the electricity they sell you. Either they make it, or buy it and negotiate prices, etc. The electricity is the product, not how they get it to your house.

What would be a differentiator for ISPs if the infrastructure was completely shared? The internet would be the same.
I can understand GPA being a factor for new grads with little to no industry experience. But someone with many years of proven work under their belt?

By that token, the fact that I went to a prestigious and selective university (where I bombed with the 2.3 GPA) vs. someone having gotten a higher GPA at an easier/less selective school would seem like it ought to carry some weight, but I don't think it ever has - and I think it shouldn't.
Around this time, I tried to create stuff with the old Java J2EE. I found it too slow to compile and the language was too inflexible.

This is the opposite of what is usually said about EVs - that most people will charge them at home, overnight.
I have a proposal: if the company sells some urepairable, unrecycleable and toxic piece of shit, then the customer/landfill/the government will post the e-waste to their head office and they are responsible for storing it untill the end of time.

That will get incentives in the right place.

Very interesting to hear your experience.

Hopefully increasing satellite density fixes the speed reliability.

And I guess I understand why your IP would shift and break connections but they really need at least an option to not do that even if it adds a few more milliseconds of latency.
This is right when I started using it and it launched my career in software dev. You could build anything. Combine that with being 21-22 and the associated naivité and nothing was impossible.

Prior to PHP as part of a LAMP stack, I had indeed been cobbling Perl scripts and GDBM key/pair databases to do web apps for various projects and customers. The ability to just print to the browser with PHP without explicitly having to send HTTP headers was wonderful.

Same here! Made the journey from QEdit to Vim to UltraEdit to Notepad++. These days I'm dabbling in Emacs and Notepad++.

Visual Code is OK. Not exciting though lots of respect for it.

UtlraEdit's smoothness, speed and polish are highly commendable. Just don't have the need to spend on the annual licensing for it.

I think it would have helped with re–entering a normal work environment, I don't think it would have interfered with the results.

Honestly (and this is ~20+ years in the past now) getting some sort of therapy after spending five years in the dot com craziness would helped as well. Sometimes it's difficult to realize you’re in a toxic environment until you’re well removed from that environment.

You open up 'general', you go to 'subscriptions', and select that. Any subscription on the iPhone can be canceled right there. As this is done through Apple's payment processing, Apple/iPhone knows about every subscription and can cancel it easily.

However, if the subscription is processed through a third party, then you may have more difficulty with canceling it... but it wasn't bought through the app on the phone.

Additionally, by default, renewal receipts are sent for each subscription and are visible under the purchase history.

If Epic wins and you've got subscriptions set up using payment processors other than Apple, this will make it harder to manage these subscriptions.
Great. Regulation and reduction of plastic production is long overdue.

There are some places where it makes sense to use plastic, but we're far, far overproducing the stuff because it's convenient.

It's fantastically difficult to recycle in practice, burning it produces toxic smoke and carbon emissions, and putting it into the waste stream results in a bunch of it getting dropped on the sides of roadways.
The ideas in the paper were novel, perhaps (didn't check) but there was far more to learn from looking at reviews where bugs did slip by than doing their experiment. You could probably calculate the bug acceptance rate by category of bug, making a few random data points does not help science here
This reads much like the musings of some of the religious fundamentalists I grew up around in my town. They purport that their way is the mainstream or "coming/silent majority", then shame anyone who falls outside their sexist and dehumanizing beliefs. They seek to make those people feel small and outcasted, thereby fulfilling their false beliefs in their own eyes. It's sad that someone could write something as sexist as she has, and not have even a shred of self-awareness about the irony of it.
> Except they offer you a channel for distribution, discoverability, promotion, rating and monetization of your app.

Only because they don't allow you to do any of that yourself or allow for any alternatives.
Having sat in on meetings where mechanical engineers reported the results of working massive overtime to shave each fraction of a millimeter off, I am confident in saying that the relationship tends to resemble an abusive one. (FWIW this was wearables, not phones)

To be fair, as a customer, thin and light weight is nice, and given the choice between a phone with a replaceable battery and one that is more mainstream, well, my One Plus doesn't have a replaceable battery.

Motorola tried making cashing in on pent up demand for Android phones with batteries that could be swapped out. It didn't work out too well for them.
Plastic packaging makes hygienic food more accessible as an effective and cheap barrier to pathogens, incoming and outgoing. Such public health interests should be balanced against their toxicity. It's easier for wealthier people to substitute with restaurants, servants and higher quality materials. So a general plastic ban would amount to a regressive tax on sanitary food.
Does that mean that Geniuses would be terrible software engineers, since removing complexity is seldom the right thing to do business-decision wise?

> You drop a file in your public web server folder and you’re done.

The implications of what this meant for security were very important too, but in a negative way. Instead of an application with a single or few small entry points (like CGI), you could just design your PHP app with a bunch of files spread across the exposed public directory structure, and for a long time this was the reigning paradigm for PHP.

This, combined with the extension controlling whether it was processed as a PHP script or a plain text file meant that anyone making a quick and dirty backup of a file they were changing that didn't consider this would often end up exposing files to the public they didn't intend (mv config.php config.php.bak).

Additionally, since most people were running on shared hosting platforms and PHP was usually run as the webserver user, and many applications were designed to be dropped entirely into a public web structure, any capability for writing locally (like allowing file uploads) often consisted of setting a directory world writable to drop files in. Even ignoring how often people screwed up setting permissions and set everything of theirs world writable, even when done correct this usually ended up being security through not-so-obscurity, since common apps had default locations they used more often than not (customizing that required more user interaction and knowledge to set up, which was against the ethos of "drop in and use" PHP heavily leaned on initially).

PHP's ease of use was the ease of use of Windows 95 compared to Windows NT or Windows 2000. Sure, things are easier when you don't have to care about users and permissions and security. But you need to bootstrap any success you have into fixing those problems ASAP.

PHP was always a victim of it's own success in this regard. The thing that made it easy to use for people was that it did away with a lot of the security concerns that were (barely) in place at that time, and the effects of that are what made it a nightmare for those managing it, and often at one point or another those using it as they were bitten by these problems.

I'm glad we've all moved on from that. PHP did a lot to make it easier for people to do stuff online, and that in itself is a good thing and a laudable achievement. I'm unsure if it was a net gain though. It's too complex for me to easily say it was one, nor that it was definitively a net loss.
I'd rather move to a safer place.

If there are restrictions, I hope they target major microplastic sources like tires and textiles, rather than easily scapegoated but very minor sources, like plastic bags and drinking straws. Based on precedent, I am not holding my breath, but I hope so.
That seems like a smart and pragmatic strategy. Thanks for sharing that idea!

> YC-stage startups who got sued into oblivion over accessibility

No, because real people with problems (not lawsuit trolls) don't want your money, they want you to fix your product. Most will reach out before bringing a suit. If a suit is brought, they almost always settle if the company A) fixes the problem and commits to keeping the product accessible and B) pays the costs of the suit.

It's cheaper to fix the problems than to fight the suit, especially for a new business that doesn't have a lot of technical debt or a large corpus of inaccessible content.

> Imagine if you couldn't Show HN without thinking about accessibility and actually taking on serious legal risk.

U.S. accessibility requirements for private entities (vs. government ones) apply to "places of public accommodation." Lawsuit results have been mixed about whether an online operation, especially if it has no corresponding physical operation, count as a "place" (I think they do). Personal sites, projects will not require meeting accessibility requirements any more than your house will be legally required to have a ramp for wheelchair users.

If you're going to worry about legal risks for Show HN projects, worry more about creating privacy and security problems for users.

It's such a pleasant surprise to me how effectively and quickly people have become concerned about this issue. The recent WWF report came out less than 2 years ago [1]. Microplastics were obviously known for a long time, but that's when conversations about microplastics re-ignited. And now we can see an entire country declaring plastics toxic and restricting them. If you'd asked me an hour ago, I'd have predicted it'd take at least another decade before concern about this would spread widely enough to prompt a national policy shift. Great to see that raising public awareness can actually do something!

I understand that some companies might want to do this, but it’s explicitly not giving clear salary ranges for certain positions. It’s basically saying “we will pay you whatever, based on what we determine you are worth,” which is precisely the status quo that transparent salary advocates want to change.
It's pretty fascinating to see the conversation here. No talk of the product at all (not surprising, twitter is about a decade behind in product innovation) but it really feel's like this is the perfect product to attack Google and Apple. It takes the most sympathetic group of people - individual content creators, it gives them a tool at a pretty tight margin - 16% and then slams the hammer down on you "30% goes to Apple" so that they can continue to sell thousand dollar phones.

But... why on earth is Twitter picking this fight. Have they done it accidentally? They're not at a scale for this to pay off for them, and other companies are already doing the heavy lifting. This is a fight Twitter doesn't need.
