PHP has a lot of warts, and I mean a lot, but one thing I really like about PHP that virtually no other Web languages offer is that I can just drop code in my Web server's document root, go to that path in my browser, and it runs, without needing to deal with frameworks, boilerplate, compiling, etc.
Isn't it much more efficient to use pwm than resistors to adjust energy in that fashion?
That only works if the use of that time towards a more productive activity actually pays off in that short duration; sometimes comparing shops and making sure you're getting the best is the most fun part, so there's some utility derived from there as well. At least for myself, I only really deal-hunt during Black Friday and anytime else I get what I need when I need them.
why the apostrophes?
I agree that 98% is too high, but 90% is not unreasonable. There is no country in the world off the top of my head where the quality of life has improved more than in China.

Additionally the Chinese government has a very skillful tactic where they make the local government much more accountable via the central government but charges it of all the unpopular things. That way it gets credit for the good while the local government is blamed for the bad. It's quite smart actually.

His data probably comes from this research : https://ash.harvard.edu/publications/understanding-ccp-resil...

The data comes from in-person interviews. One may think that they were scared of saying bad things but plenty of negative feedback was received, they just reported that most issues were solved and were happy with the progress.

I the conclusion of dishonesty was much too quick.
Every sequence is distinct almost certainly. It just matters if the important parts of a sequence are changed or duplicated.

So two versions which are sequenced as a certain variant may actually have many differences in practice.

I will also add that there are many variants that just havent hit the news cycle. Iirc there was a gamma variant with higher lethality but was much less transmissible.
My best friend growing up lived in a multigenerational home with hardcore Italian grandparents who took care of everything. I’d venture to guess that most objects in their home were nicer than the day they were purchased. The couches were covered in vinyl, floors waxed weekly, etc. The basement of that house was like a museum to tools and laundry.

Even his grandparents didn’t clean the stove after each use. They lined the burner area with foil instead.
1000 products could mean 1000 images to show and 1000 templates to render and that may kill your browser (definitely true on a phone), and significant slowdown even on a desktop/laptop. The solution is simply to load more data as you scroll. This should be fast enough for you not to even notice it.

Is fish usable for a web/nodejs developer working with the usual libs in the JS ecosystem such as React/Webpack as well as usual github projects?

By that I mean any scripts included in these projects. I have seen only a few scripts though.
Absolutely. Thanks for this. It's telling to me how dismissive/judgemental are about nihilism, and that's been a good signal for me in other areas that it's getting a lot closer to a basic truth and people are threatened with it and want to push it away. Which is what we shouldn't be doing.

Optimistic Nihilism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBRqu0YOH14) or Absurdism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQOfbObFOCw) are maybe more accessible takes if nihilism seems too "scary".
It all depends on what you think Canada's military is there to do:

If you think Canada is a nation of peace-keepers (which it really hasn't done all that much of), it doesn't need fighters at all.

If you think Canada needs to defend North American aerospace, the F-15EX (or maybe Eurofighter Typhoon) looks quite good.

If you think Canada needs to be able to support her NATO allies in an armed conflict overseas against a peer adversary, the F-35 is the best fit.

Yes, absolutely, I want to say this also. Hacker News / Ycombinator is very fine and excellent. Thanx for running this site. It is unique, the format is genius simple, and I learn and discover things here I would otherwise have no knowledge of. We are in rural location in Canada, coming in via Starlink now. The internet is critical for us. It is our economic, social and scientific link to the world. Sites of the quality of Hacker News are rare now. If we ever manage to get to and live on Mars, I hope we can have satellite relay link to HN. Happy Thanxgiving to everyone. And best of luck for everyone's future projects!

You’re repeatedly posting and appealing to old discredited claims that have been evaluated as /false/ by the medical community.

It’s really sad that you are expending this much effort pushing and promoting fringe medical ideas that have no consensus.

“Natural immunity” is the rallying cry of the anti-vax movement, and it’s been wholly discredited.

Lack of cheap, well-trained, and educated STEM people who could bear extremely bad work-life-balance and promised profit for more than ten years to cover the cost of scaling up.
I used Symfony and it was fine but there are some challenges:

1. The combination associative array/array data type is weird and I feel like the performance is not predictable unless you devote time to learning specifically about it

2. You're still stuck with all the weird legacy stuff, even if you don't use it, because someone else might bring it in

3. The OO stuff is basically like an old version of Java and a bit tedious to write. An IDE is definitely required

4. Many PHP developers formed their ideas about coding in the bad old days and will resist efforts to make code more testable or whatever because it's "too complicated."

Of course they could be, they could hop out and check, but of course that task was intentionally and purposefully delegated away. You might be right about a visual inspection being the pilots responsibility, I am not privy to their actual checklist. But it isn't unthinkanle to have tasks delegated in high pressure high risk environments, and not all responsiblities fall onto the pilot.
Since when is cost effectiveness an "arbitrary" requirement? The plane was years late and massively over budget.

It has nothing to do with Anti-Americanism. I have no idea where you got that from.
I had a split keyboard and pretty quickly moved on.

The reason should have been rather intuitive, had I considered it. Splitting the keyboard allows a more natural position, but it still needs to be relatively static. Unfortunately, at half the weight, each side had less resistance to moving, especially with the inner stands kicked up at an angle. That meant more frequent fiddling to readjust the positioning, and lots of time wasted trying to decide if it was in the wrong spot, or if I hadnt yet adjusted properly.
No, you'd need to handle the search. Which is something I see more and more sites doing.
The CF-18s were also deployed in Yougoslavia and Serbia IIRC.

For the very basic and extremely infrequent strike missions that they are used for, the CF-18s and the F-18s we got from Australia will realistically be enough.

There is zero chance that a land dispute between the US and Canada will ever have anything to do with which fighter jets either side has available.
I took a 50% pay cut to go quasi-entrepreneurial in an area that interests me and allows me freedom to explore and pursue my interests.

I had a wonderful grade 12 calc teacher in high school who taught everything from first principles. I would leave his class feeling like I had gone to the gym from my brain. Despite his incredible teaching, I only pulled off a low 70s grade in the class.

So I retook the course the next year. Taught by a new teacher fresh from teachers college, theoretically with a specialty in math since they were teaching an upper level math course.

I don't think the new teacher even knew how to do derivatives from first principles. Just rote memorization of the different types of differentiation.

I got an A in that class the second time, having learned nothing.
I think this stuff is very silly / trivial, but this - "why does anyone give a shit about it enough to put it on the blockchain" - suggests that blockchains are somehow only for serious things (things people "give a shit" about) and I don't at all see why that would be the case.

Where I work, you get "badges" - little icons - that show up on your corporate profile for various things you do, writing some number of lines of some language, attending some training, joining some mailing list, etc. Anyone can make a badge and give it to anyone. It's just a big public (inside the company) database. It's all very silly and trivial and nobody "gives a shit" about these badges. And yet they still exist and people still create new ones.

I don't see any reason throwing this same kind of thing on a public blockchain is any more silly than this.

But maybe the criticism is that (as is often the case in the crypto world) this is being presented / talked about / sold as some kind of next huge serious thing. If that's the criticism, then I'm right there with you. But if the criticism is just "this is pretty silly", well, lots of stuff is, so what.
What's interesting is that in the weeks leading up to the agenda, the Chaos Communication Club put up their own demands written like a digital agenda, essentially prewritten rules. And it turns out that the new agenda includes many of these rules! See https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=9f60b12e

Things like companies being legally responsible for security holes in their products, a right to encryption, open standards in government bodies, no 'hackbacks' from German security agencies, software updates and replacement parts need to be available for the lifetime of a product, all these things in the new government's agenda seem to come from the CCC.

Lobbbying works!

The controllers fail all of the time. Many of them don’t fare well around high heat, and sometimes the capacitive panels delaminate or otherwise fail. Replacement is usually expensive. The failure point of analog controls was usually the trivially replaceable knob.

Appliance makers do a ton of reliability engineering to deliver predictable failure rates. Barring atypical screwups and bad design, major appliances tend to fall off a cliff about a year after the expiry of their extended warranty (usually 4-6 years)
Lots of people have difficult neighbours and mostly we just have to put up with them. Usually the friendliest approaches have the best chance of success. Forcing issues usually makes them worse. IMO the police are not the proper resource in this case. I'd try an air-conditioning mechanic.
The link also hosts the last (obsolete now?) SamyGo. So there is something at least, from where one could start, instead of reinventing the wheel from scratch.

Don't know if it could be applied to current models at all. Not following that stuff, since not using TVs since 1996.

Your own link [2] shows RSA being 10-50x slower than the EC algo they used, which itself is many factors slower than state of the art. Are you reading the table right?
I agree with everything you're saying except for your usage of purpose. To me, life is not about doing meaningful and purposeful things. It's about satisfying yourself. With the right incentives, we can satisfy ourselves in ways that are meaningful and purposeful. Finding the right work with the right people is extremely satisfying. If you don't enjoy your work, it's likely you are not working on the right things or you have some mental health issues which are lingering beneath the surface.
Agreed. If any of this stuff is gonna be interesting at all, it's going to be by turning things that previously required a company into an open protocol instead.
The problem with the Australian ones is that they're old and worn out, so they're very expensive and unreliable to operate. Those planes are approaching their fatigue limits, and they're not going to become more reliable.

> In the times I’ve finally “decided” to improve my life, I honestly have no explanation for why I did that, versus continue to spiral downwards.

It's interesting how much these kinds of choices are affected by people around you. E.g. when I had classmates depending on me to finish a part of a project, or a partner needing a good night sleep, I am much less likely to goof off into the wee hours of the night playing video games or such.

Makes me wish I could have recognized this way earlier and set up periodic "check-ins" with a group of friends. I've seen some people accomplish this via "life coaches." Some people have really involved parents. Explains why people with poorer backgrounds may do worse - less of this kind of involvement. Conversely I wonder if church/temple participation helps the other way.

Name a non-speculative usecase
Boeing went dirty against Canada’s bombardier big time with the c-series regional jet which they did everything possible to block them out until they ran our of cash and basically gave the complete project to airbus in exchange to save the jobs (this is an oversimplification but the general idea). Going with boeing wouldn’t have fared very well with a lot of canadians.
The Chinese stock market has way too much insider trading for it to be considered a reliable source of investment, unless you have inside information. Your only option to wealth building is to start a company or buy a house.
From The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/trump-r...), attributing comments to the WHO:

*But critics from WHO and elsewhere have said the bans are unnecessary and could generate a racist backlash against Chinese people.*

*Before long, Trump was running for president on an anti-immigrant platform. One message he pushed was that immigrants carry contagion. In 2015, he put out a statement warning that “tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border,” a claim unsupported by fact.* [ha! That hasn't aged well: https://news.yahoo.com/dhs-dropped-40-000-covid-190800213.html ]

From Huffington Post: https://www.huffpost.com/archive/in/entry/china-donald-trump...:

*Just a month after praising China for its handing of the COVID-19 outbreak, U.S. President Donald Trump has sent out a racist tweet terming the coronavirus as “Chinese Virus”.*

From Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-using-racism-against-c...

*President Donald Trump and his Republican allies are using racism to try to distract from his disastrous preparations for and response to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of taking responsibility for and addressing early failures, they're blaming the crisis on China.*

Statistically PHP software has the most vulnerabilities. They are also quite different when compared to other languages. Language has many features which might be used unintentionally by programmer, leading for serious bugs. Not a good language to start with.
Yes Barcelona has a big problem with pickpockets indeed. This is more of a legal issue: any theft of 400 euro or less is punishable by a fine only even if it's the 4000th time.

Because of this there's gangs of professional pickpockets. But they're trained to avoid conflict. Because any violence will incur serious charges. I've grabbed one once and pushed him against a wall when I felt him reaching for my phone and he literally was passive and relaxed. Just dropped the phone and strolled off. No way someone behaves like that unless they have trained it.

So yes they're an absolute plague but the risk of violence is low. And the cause does not have much to do with public transport (it happens on the street too) but with ignorant lawmakers :)
I suppose it depends on your definition of touch typing. Back in the early 70s, before many people had heard of personal computers, I was planning a career in journalism. I had to learn my way around a keyboard, so I took a quarter of high school typing. It didn’t teach me to “touch type” in the sense of achieving 100 word per minute or whatever, but it was the solid foundation I needed for typing in college, in my (too brief) journalism career, in office work and systems admin work. I’m reasonably fast, and I don’t always look at the keyboard, and no one has ever complained about it.
I think Bly fits with 'general intellectual curiosity'. Bly was the father of a movement that is still going on. Although not politically fashionable, there is a strong desire among young men for discussion about manhood.
My impression is that the market for PHP development is almost a separate ecosystem from other languages.

If you trigger a memory response why would it matter if it was recalling a different similar protein? Wouldnt your immune system also remember and respond to a real pathogen, suggesting that the orginal vaccine was sufficient? In what world do you identify a pathogen but the fail to respond to it?

It's no longer USA culture. Used to be a few decades ago when Nike and Coke was exported.

Today, it is a giant global corporate-driven monoculture. US has influx of many other cultures too (Sushi restaurants were hardly a thing in the 90's and Yoga).

To be honest, the world has gotten worse with globalisation and I don't mean that in the slightest political sense. Purely from cutural standpoint, the internet has sort of ruined isolated pockets of culture that thrive independently. In 2050, it will just be a giant same-everywhere Earth culture that will suck, even more so than today.
A smart home can be reliable, useful and environmentally friendly (if we consider potential energy savings). You just won't get there with consumer-grade solutions. Pretty much every consumer-grade tech nowadays is designed to generate "engagement" and collect data; the actual "useful" work it does is only the bare-minimum needed to convince you to buy the product and "engage" with it.

If you look beyond the consumer-grade trash, you can get somewhere nice with $500 if you go the DIY route with modules/relays supporting open protocols and Home Assistant, or if you have several thousands to spare check out higher-end solutions such as Crestron.

Any good system will be completely self-contained, not rely on the internet, and provided the hardware is maintained should last essentially forever.
