Rust is actually the first serious contender in this domain, given that it has native support for parallel, concurrent and distributed programming and also deals elegantly with the aliasing issue that hampers optimization in C/C++. It's nice to see that LLVM is getting an official Fortran frontend, it will ease interop (including with Rust) and make it easier to compare code generation across projects and languages.
In the Netherlands you have essentially:

Private limited company (BV or besloten vennootschap)

or

Public limited company (NV or naamloze vennootschap)

The BV is like a Ltd in the Anglo Saxon world and the NV is your company with equity defined by shares/stocks.

you can also have:

Cooperative (coöperatie)

Association (vereniging)

Foundation (stichting)

Was there once a battle between Fortran and APL and its derivatives for dominance of that niche?

Haha yes! I did Symfony/Laravel contracting for years and all the companies I worked for started like this.
I doubt they will reduce their cut, alternative stores or not. If they are forced to allow 3rd party stores, I bet they will move immediately to the licensing model - like that used by Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo for their game consoles; i.e. if you want your app to run on the iPhone, you have have it signed by Apple and pay Apple a licensing fee per copy sold.
Modern PHP application development doesn't really use the "deploy PHP scripts to a folder" model any more.

The more likely scenario is that a framework with a front controller is used, which is invoked by php-fpm, proxied by nginx.

It's easy enough to do, though.
He advocated for a first strike attack (bombing Moscow). Though this was before the Soviets had a strong nuclear arsenal and so likely would not have started a war. So yeah you are right, saying he was pushing for a war is stretching it. He did push for nuking a major city though.
Considering the environmental impact of the US economy and its policies is important in its own right, but applying that to the dollar is a stretch in my opinion. Also, the dollar is not the only traditional currency in the world.

It's not really a simple matter of trust, though. To take the example of the 'poka yoke' system that was posted here last week: is it because of a lack of trust that equipment operators are required to visually signal to themselves the action they will perform? Or is it because it's a simple and easy way to avoid basic operator error?

"We trust our engineers to merge code and not break production," is not the same as "we require peer review of changes to production, and/or QA, to mitigate human error."

Or more simply, trust but verify. Not every team will have a CI/CD pipeline that can effectively automate the 'verify' step.

Nobody on my team, for example, is worried about being required to have n approving reviews. If nothing else, it's a relief if it means we're not paged at 3am to fix something we deployed without fully checking.

There is a movie called "Otherlife" available on Prime that explores a bit of this question of using alternate realities in a prison context.

It's clear that legacy has a pretty strong influence, here, with Wordpress and other standard tools inflating PHP's numbers and Shopify doing the same for Ruby.

But, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of new projects being started nowadays in PHP, Ruby, Java, etc, because they're the most effective tool for the job.

It's just that this is not news. News is yet-another-standard-tool-written-in-rust.

This article is completely wrong.

In the early days, anything less than a serious hypermiling hybrid was absolutely murdered in the press and popular culture.

We've ended up with a second socially-accepted hybrid category, which is to use the hybrid for insane power and/or speed.

Anywhere in the middle is just not publicly acceptable, even though they make financial and environmental sense. From 2005-2010, GM sold all their full-size trucks and SUVs with a mild hybrid option that had an outstanding ROI. But the press hated them with a passion, so the next version of those vehicle dropped the hybrid option.

Nearly 100% of the vehicles Audi currently sells in the US are mild hybrids. But there is no badge on the car, the Monroney sticker and the Audi website do not use the word 'hybrid', etc.

That's the world we live in.

Not always true. Is also about the best tool for the job.

Ex. I had to implement a task that would need to check if an image is similar to other image (not related to porn/csam).
I implemented it with just a few line of PHP and no 100+ package dependencies. How? I run a linux CLI app from inside PHP, super easy.

but, but , you can do it with node too,
- yes, but guess int he past in a node project, soem dev instead of calling ffmpeg directly he npm installed some shit package that called ffmpeg. The package was basic and it did not include or options needed , some other dev would have installed other package to get a new ffmpeg feature, /

I removed all those packages and done it directly.

My point is that we need to use the best tool for the job, if there is a CLI app or Java program/library that solves your problem a developer should present teh client the truth "I can solve your problem using this in 1 day or I can rewrite it in CoolLang and CollFramework and CoolPacakgeManager and CoolTranspilter with 100+ shit dependencies in 1 month. I am afraid many developers are choosing the last option to pad their CV and pump their ego.

I would say is also the ecosystem, PHP has a bit ecosystem and it can always use all the Linux applications (once in a project I integrated PHP with node program puppeteer) so there is no limitation, I miss more features in JS then I miss them in PHP.

A pet peeve of mine is calling something using atomic operations lock less. It's very common but once it click that atomic operations are just locks on the instruction level it feels very wrong to call most algorithms lock less. There's still the same concerns to avoid contention when using atomic operations as with regular mutexes. A mutex lock in the uncontended case never enters the kernel and is just an atomic operation... The main strategy regardless of if using locks or atomics directly is to avoid contention.

The only truly lock less algorithm that I'm aware of (for most CPU archs) is RCU in the read case.

kinda disappointing to see this kind of content posted on Fowler's site.

pragmatically, the only case I could see for doing this kind of flow is for a small project internal to a team that has no external entities that rely on it, so when things break it isn't borking shit for anyone else.

even then, its a borderline red flag.

In general unless your parents had tons of money you can just be honest with them, the person is 90 years old on a fixed ss income, the likelihood of you getting a single dollar is 0%. Just stop trying. Also great for advocacy in the hospital when they wanna discharge and you feel they still need to stay longer. They’re not allowed to discharge without consent, they’ll claim that you’re on the hook OOP for anything Medicare won’t cover… but if the patient has no money, who cares. The social worker can yell till she’s blue in the face about fiscal responsibility but at the end of the day, the hospital will have to eat the cost and actually perform the rehab correctly.

I might have been unfair on MSDN, as my experience in the past was really bad. I work with non-MS tech quite a bit, not sure if being deep in the MS-ecosystem helps in grokking the docs.. But I found it uniformly bad across : MS-SQL, Visual Basic, Asp.Net etc.

I think my issue might be more with the English style. But why does SO work right-away for me, while other these other developer portals don't. Part of the flaw maybe lies with me - maybe these portals (like MSDN) need in-depth, patient reading (guilty here). SO on the other hand, is way quicker in helping to solve issues. Over the years though, I've had enough bad experiences ..

Someone should do a compare between SO and non-SO. Take a sample, discrete (if such a thing exists in software issues) issue, and see how both help to solve. The layout of the page, the noise, and finally the curated/voted answer all contribute. And factor in the fact that SO answers are written by a diverse group of people, many of them non-English speaking.

The NORAD testimony I was noting is in fact contradicted by these NORAD tapes. To quote Vanity Fair's piece again:

"In the chronology presented to the 9/11 commission, Colonel Scott put the time NORAD was first notified about United 93 at 9:16 a.m., from which time, he said, commanders tracked the flight closely. (It crashed at 10:03 a.m.) If it had indeed been necessary to "take lives in the air" with United 93, or any incoming flight to Washington, the two armed fighters from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia would have been the ones called upon to carry out the shootdown. In Colonel Scott's account, those jets were given the order to launch at 9:24, within seconds of NEADS's receiving the F.A.A.'s report of the possible hijacking of American 77, the plane that would ultimately hit the Pentagon. This time line suggests the system was starting to work: the F.A.A. reports a hijacking, and the military reacts instantaneously. Launching after the report of American 77 would, in theory, have put the fighters in the air and in position over Washington in plenty of time to react to United 93."

But it didn't happen that way, and the two fighters that were over Washington that would have taken down United 93 were unarmed after recent training missions. If they had taken down the plane, it would not have been a shootdown, but a kamikaze mission: Marc H. Sasseville would take out the cockpit and Heather Penney would take out the tail, on the premise that just taking out an engine could leave them with a functioning glider.

something that's more than just being essential for the body?
You do realize each of those "wounds" put chemicals you're unfamiliar with inside your body? Each time an insect stings you, or a plant pricks you, stuff gets inside? With plants, a lot of the chemicals are there to harm you; plants don't want to be touched or eaten. You do realize viruses change your DNA in ways which are untested and poorly understood? Nature is chemistry too. Many of those wounds are the same level of "unnecessary medical treatment" as the vaccine, only without safety studies, etc.

Now, I totally get how not wearing a mask is a pro-Trump political statement, or how people are fearful of needles, but it's not the same as "child sacrifice."
It's worth noting that Walmart's marketing team makes lots of announcements like this that never go anywhere. This is completely meaningless until it's deployed.
>When the firefighters rush in, they will not wait for the fire scientist to first finish all the measurements

That's because the "science" on firefighting has already been settled. They know exactly what will happen when you do X to a fire and they know how to stop it fast and efficiently. They know what the consequences of spraying water on a fire are and when you won't be able to put one out etc.

It's quite different to run in and say we need to mask, lockdown, close businesses/schools, produce a vaccine and distribute it immediately. Ok why? Are you sure this will save lives? They had no idea, it was just a knee jerk reaction. You can partially justify these things when they didn't know how bad COVID was going to be but then they continued with them for 2 years with very little evidence to back up their decisions. At some point you have to back off and say "hey we don't have a damn clue what the best course of action is". If your fix is worse than the problem you might need to re-evaluate and wait for the actual science on it.

I think people make the assumption that you HAVE to do something immediately when bad things happen, sometimes doing nothing and observing is the better option. There are multiple examples of the choice to do something being worse than doing nothing during this pandemic (e.g. governor sends infected persons into nursing homes) and as time goes on I think we're going to see more fallout from some of these choices.
The new Windows 11 defaults manager is amazingly user hostile. [1] Microsoft decided it's a great idea to make non technical users manually adjust 15 different file and protocol associations in order to change the default browser.

Microsoft's statement on this: we are implementing customer feedback to customize and control defaults at a more granular level, eliminating app categories and elevating all apps to the forefront of the defaults experience.

More granular control is nice and all, but I don't buy for a second that it couldn't be behind some "advanced" button. I think the most probable explanation for removing the app categories is a calculated move to steer people towards Microsoft products which have access to backdoor internal functions to change all of these automatically.

I do remember how bad things were back in Windows XP days when every random toolbar would change all the associations. I don't wish for that experience to come back for non technical users either. Microsoft could perhaps look into allowing digitally signed apps to change the associations automatically (a single summarizing OS confirmation prompt might be wise), and non-signed apps would have to instruct users to manually change things.
