Short answer - it's complicated.

Long answer - quite a significant number of people are resistant to vaccines, particularly to mrna-based ones. Government offered voluntary vaccination and managed to vaccinate around 50%, after that different coercion and segregation measures (mandating without actually mandating) were used to raise the number to 94% (among eligible population).

Disappointment is starting to grow lately because despite total vaccination there is no removal of restrictions. While being reasonably open with data, government still plays with it - once vaccinated ppl become constituting majority of cases among fatalities they just stopped reporting how many vacc/unvaxx were among fatalities. This leaves people frustrated and disappointed in govt approach to tackle covid, particularly in this "vaccinate everyone" idea.

A lot of resistance spotted in people 60+, younger generation mostly just goes for shots.
On the odd chance that someone needs a JS library to detect whether a webpage exposes a DOI that identifies it (eg for a browser extension for academics), I wrote one that might be useful: https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-dois
I wonder if it would help if the final generated configuration was also easy to read.

Essentially you'll generate the config from the code, but you can always view the raw output side by side.
> You could say that we are humans and those are non-human animals, therefore it's okay. I'm not a fan of this line of thinking because that is how caste systems work in societies that exploit different groups of people. They're of a lower caste so it's okay to treat them like dirt. They're of a different skin color so it's okay to treat them bad. It's okay to kill them.

I don't find this a super compelling reason not to eat meat because humans being a separate class than other animals is essentially a precondition to arguing that eating meat is immoral since plenty of other animals also eat meat. Applying a higher moral standard to humans compared to other animals is only reasonable if there is some sort of intrinsic intellectual capacity that we have but they lack. Once you open that door, there are still arguments to be made that eating meat is immoral, but the issue is much less clear cut, and I don't think it requires cognitive dissonance to come down on the other side.
Everything you listed is useless. Slow, hard to use and limited in functionality.

Hey if you don't like PHP please don't use it. I 'd hate to bring the culture of tiny packages, fake compilers, transpilers and weekly trends to PHP. Personally I use php because it works well and fast and still supports my 10 year old websites, not because it's cool.

The contributions of communities in the growth of programming languages is huge. If no-code/low-code is looking at a similar trajectory, open-source frameworks might prove to be the best options.

> Now, if (1) you have the correct equipment and (2) you’re confident in your micro-soldering skills, you can solder wires directly on these pins to attach the probes, but the space between each pin is only 0.65 millimeters (for our metrically impaired readers, this is 0.4 millionths of a mile). We did not meet several of these two requirements.

LOL.
Other currencies have addressed the issues of anonymity and environmental impact, and the block size can be scaled dynamically. If the block size increases too much, there is an argument for sharding/pruning- this is an open question, and probably not the one which will crypto-currencies.
Of course. But that doesn't mean it exists.
The most defensible / widespread use-case of getting money out of an oppressive regime strikes hollow to me as a lefty. Most people in an oppressive regime don't have the problem of moving large amounts of money around. And it only helps you with "temporarily store it somewhere with a wildly deviating value", how does that help when you need to get it BACK into your hands and actually spend it?

The real exploitation for 99% of the population isn't someone currency-manipulating your fortunes, it's being a de facto wage slave because we live in a system that decides at birth that you're a slave and 1% of people aren't. Crypto doesn't help you with that, ironically it makes it worse because it helps the kleptocracy move their money. That's who has a use for anonymous money, and they're normally robbing the locals. See: the Panama Papers, Russia
On the contrary, there is no option that says “Stop bugging the user with ads for Mozilla.” They keep coming back with another form of showing up (button in the top bar, label on the new tab experience, new tab experience itself, Mozilla login…) and you have to disable it again. It’s like spam when they use several Mailchimp accounts, reupload your email and tell you “but it’s easy to unsubscribe!”
The best part of PHP is the development model. You copy some files to a server, and load the page. That's it. It is really hard to beat how easy it is to iterate, even if the language is truly terrible.
That brings it to the point quite well from my experience.
This is super interesting, because it actually makes the case for 'old money' taking better care of the rest of the world, not for the benefit of the rest of the world but for their downstream.
IDK what is a good salary in US/Canada, I live in European Union. My salary as WordPress developer is more than 4,5k USD/month and I see job offers with 8k USD as well (still for WP developers, this is my specialization and I know this field the most; I expect for better recognized PHP fields like modern frameworks like Laravel it could be more)

And yes, 4,5k USD/month is massively good salary for Europe.

On the other hand, I see many job offers with salaries being just a joke (idk if they find any good developers for such money)
I'd imagine that religion/politics are kinda fundamental to most people's meaning in life, and mostly always has been.
I heard that Php is unsecure by default. Wonder what's the state of that?
git-branchless doesn't (yet) aim to integrate with hosted Git providers in any particular way. You just use remotes and push as normal.

I think the CLI is mostly at parity in terms of features. git-branchless has `git undo` while gt has `git repo sync`. (Tracking issue for git-branchless's sync: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/issues/174)

git-branchless integrates more directly with Git, so you don't need to learn any new commands if you don't want to. If you ruin your stack by amending an old commit, a warning will appear telling you to run `git restack`, which will fix it.

Besides that, git-branchless does rebase operations in-memory, which makes it faster.
That's not how it works, energy usage does not scale with the number of transactions.
For me, I'm tired of really discussing it. I stated a powerful usecase before, but it seems a lot of HNers don't really want a use case, they just want something to bash on.

So if you want use cases, you can look it up on the net. And if you want something to bash on, you won't get it from me.
These are 1-2k LUT devices. Even the smallest Spartan - XC7S6 - is 6K LUTs. It's not enough to even mildly inconvenience the leaders.
So another spin on what you're saying is that middle/upper-class westerners have no use for blockchain, which certainly is in line with my experience that the only people who really need to rely on cryptocurrencies are ransomware people.
A minimum threshold of dogmatic people does not a good idea make. Crypto’s value basis versus its fervor is a mirror image of any bubble we’ve ever seen. The smart ones will figure out how the bubble pops. My guess is power outages.
I did look into Nim, but, given Python's maturity/popularity, I decided to stick with it as host language for the DSL.
Unlike many here, I don’t mind FF giving their browser more mass-appeal (here in Germany it’s still a major browser), so adding that color feature is fine. I just don’t need intrusive advertisement about it. It’s even worse for me, because I use FF on multiple machines and with several profiles, so I saw the ad over 10 times in total.
So what you're pointing out is that the accounting associated with online advertising is itself a form of fraud?
1) This indifferent attitude is what enables censorship to occur in the first place.

2) Not all currencies have the privacy implications of Bitcoin.

3) Not all currencies have the inherent environmental cost that 'proof of work' currencies like Bitcoin do. Is preventing the hoarding of wealth really a goal here?
He may have been simply told what to say. The man strikes me as having integrity and trying to do the right thing even in impossible situations, such as being part of the Trump administrations' misdirection engine and refusing to buckle. That's the main reason the right wing of the United States hates his guts, he didn't sign the oath of loyalty. And was promptly replaced.
Vimium-FF was among the first Vim extensions for Firefox post-XUL, and is by far the most popular. It's from the same author (and has the same codebase / github repository) as the Vimium extension originally released on Chrome.

Vimium C was forked off of that in 2014 and seems to be targeted towards Chinese users, with added support for the Chinese language. The Github readme does hint towards performance improvements, but doesn't provide much more detail. It also seems to have a new tab override feature, and a vimium-compatible fork of the Firefox PDF viewer, and a few other miscellaneous features.
What, are you saying it's impossible to compile a MacOS application where the menu is not "consistent" with Apple standards?
Wow, I didn't realize they still relied on a golden-key style root of trust... I assumed they were trust on first use. That seems pretty bad!
Spain is a funny one.

The Community of Madrid is the succession tax haven of the country, so loads of people go live there their last years so their families aren't taxed on the inherited wealth.

Combine with the regional government short of condemning to death the elderly in nursing homes by refusing to hospitalize them[0], but I guess it's fine since they forgave themselves [1].

Add to the mix that the healthcare access hasn't kept up to handle what Madrid brought to itself, and then you obtain these numbers [2].

TL;DR: during the first wave, while most regions had peak excess deaths of 10-50%, Madrid had 200%, at the same time as being one of the most populous. In the rest of the periods, Madrid has been usually at the lead as well.

With Madrid removed the numbers are in line with Germany and Sweden.

That's a very suspicious way of framing it. The "holes" seem to be mostly the people who don't want to get the vaccine at all. These are the ones responsible for most of the spread and for most of the consequences.

>One of the reasons the suicide rate is so high in the US is because of how easy it is to access firearms.

Is this actually true? I know it's said quite often, but there are countries with much much higher suicide rates where firearms aren't nearly as ubiquitous. Eg Lithuania.

I was just about to say that sounds very adhd like (I’m diagnosed as well). Have you tried adhd medication? Not sure if that was inferred by your comment on drugs.
Also if you have to create new databases for each test (because, say, the data model will not allow reusing it, or you want to run tests concurrently and not all the tests are transactional) creating one as cached template then initialising test-local dbs with `createdb -T <cache>` is extremely effective.

It’s also stupendously easy if you’re using pytest (though the concurrency caching is not there as IIRC xdist can’t reuse session fixtures):

* create a session fixture to initialise and yield the cache db (and clean it up afterwards)
* create a regular test fixture which copies (using `createdb`) the template to a new database, and hands that off to the test

Then tests which need the db just have to request the second fixture.
Arduino is one of those projects that I think makes for an excellent place to start, but then you should move on from there once you understand how Arduino works. Arduino introduced uncountable amounts of people to microcontroller programming, but then so many people are just left with the understanding that Arduino is all there is to embedded programming, never moving on from it.

I mean it's the easiest thing to recommend for someone to start learning something about microcontrollers, but at the same time I cringe every time someone suggests using an Arduino as a part of some actual device in production.
Programming is just like Algebra to me, and many.

The issue is how the education system and teachers don't know the principles behind programming. They teach Algebra but they can't apply that knowledge to programming.
As far as I know new vaccines may be in the pipeline, but the current vaccines work so well against the delta variant that it's not worth switching.

It will take a lot of time to gather enough data to confirm any new vaccine as actually being better and safer than Comirnaty against Delta... Just saying "This vaccines was especially designed for this" isn't enough.
The very last few lines of that page seem to say that it doesn't actually make it faster, or maybe makes it only a little faster. Anyway, not twice as fast, as promoted.

There's a really cool and feature-filled app on Windows called VidCoder that uses Handbrake as its engine. It allows you to create picker presets, offers better queuing options, compare different results etc. It's worth checking out.

It seems perfectly readable to me. I appreciate that it is almost all meat and no filler.
Unfortunately at the 'usual therapeutic doses' there is no effect at all, you're looking at a substantial increase. The biggest direct proof for anti-viral effect was an in vitro study at substantially elevated levels.
There are package managers, yes, but probably you won't need one. Because of the mighty standard library. Thats a big advantage, compared to the tiny-package-mess at npm.
No doubt there are people reading this message who speak Japanese who will correct me, but ... 30 years ago I studied Japanese a little bit. One interesting feature of the language was that once a subject was introduced, there was no need to restate the subject if it hadn't changed, resulting in paragraphs like the one which intrigued you.

"I have used PHP for years."
The first sentence establishes the subject is "I".

"Like it." etc
Because this sentence doesn't have an explicit subject, it is implicitly the same one, "I".

As I recall, "wa" and "ga" were the Japanese particles which established new subjects. Say you wanted to talk about Bob's new car, you'd say something akin to "About Bob's new car, is expensive. Arrived last week. Has poor gas economy."
I like PHP and still use it today. But never in my life heard PHP is cool. Am I missing something?

IMO, what should gain more relevancy as a discussion point is why this community has gone fully toxic when discussing Bitcoin or Crypto.

Clearly, both the people for and against present their comments in a way that doesn't fairly represent the other side of the "coin".

I think we'd all be better of relaxing a bit more when it comes to that topic.

The environmental issue is somewhat true of Bitcoin, and certainly not true of a slew of other currencies.
If we want to put it this way, yes.

140TWh out of 170000TWh is about 0.8%. relative impact is bigger than 0.08%. Coal is 36% of the power mix. Under the assumption that most bitcoin mining happens connected to the grid (seems reasonable) and that these grids contain coal powerplants (also reasonable with the exception of Iceland), that 0.08% translates to 0.22% of global coal based emissions. On a global scale, being responsible for 1/500th is a lot (for me at least)

the numbers are more relatable when looking at absolute impact. Assuming a average coal power plant of 600MW (you can find bigger, but this is a representative plant near me[1]). That’s 5TWh/yr per plant. Bitcoin then represents 28 of such coal powerplants running at 100% capacity 24/7. That - to me - seems like a massive amount of CO2 for a niche application.

And if I read your source correctly, that’s just bitcoin

Coal is about 36%
There are a lot of comments on here about crypto only being useful for criminal activity.

The UN estimates that $1.6 TRILLION is laundered each year. The entire market cap of BTC is around $1.1 trillion.

If crypto wasn't around, fraud and scams would still exist. The fact is that significantly more crime involves fist currency than crypto. Cash is far harder to track than crypto, so using crypto in crime is actually more dangerous because of the ability of exchanges to track transactions and blacklist accounts.

Is there now a reliable non-hacky way to do threads or async, to run queries to multiple dbs or backend systems simultaneously in PHP?
This argument of descent towards zero is too focused on the individual. In reality many people in the world pursue money to feed their family and children, as well as provide a wealth foundation that can last generations.

If you were to pass away and you had young children or a partner with no income, the value of money would not descend to zero. In fact, the graph can increase in some cases (eg hospital bills, funeral costs, providing for widow and children).

I find this individual centered thinking more prevalent in certain western cultures.
Current Bitcoin blockchain size is at something like 500 GB. Which is definitely not out of reach for most people in the first world.

Amen to that. Incidentally this is not just a crypto tax avoidance play. It's an asset-rich tax avoidance play. Do you think Bezos sells stock to buy the latest mega-yacht? Of course not. He'd realise a substantial capital gain. Instead he borrows against his stock. No capital gain = no CGT.
