Yes, and it shows how US[1] interpretations of the constitution and general lawmaking hasn't really evolved. It's one thing to say, "you're in public, deal with it" when (say) taking a photo of me and publishing it is likely to be time-consuming and local and scope; it is another to be able to follow me all day, publish globally, and for essentially zero cost.

The rich Gulf sheikdoms are a place where the citizens do not really need to work and do not define their worth by their work.

They still struggle with various social pathologies - alcohol, drugs, domestic violence, religious extremism.

I think some people cannot handle a life that is too easy. Arguably, even modern Westerners from richer backgrounds tend to plunge into surrogate struggles or take up very distant causes.
Sounds very cool and inspiring, but we’re talking about rich people.

Rich people historically have been able to just stay rich whatever happens. Sometimes a little less rich, sometimes much richer. A few notable exceptions, but then again… raising kids to aim for “epoch changing discoveries” is just a silly overblown expectation.

I'm vaccinated and I'm German. Your suggestion ignores that vaccinated people are part of the transmission chain exactly as the non-vaccinated. We believed that vaccinated wouldn't transmit it, but they do. Kids too. If you are vaccinated and visit your grandma, you are putting her in risk. Testing everyone and quarantining the positives still our best bet to avoid social conflict while trying to fight this pandemic.

CVE-2021-41379 Affects All Currently Supported Windows Versions
As an outsider, dealing with Apple as a vendor strikes me as dealing with the mafia: once they've set their sights on you, they'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

Should you accept, they'll give you a shot of capital in the arm and you'll grow faster than you ever could have to meet their schedules. Soon, your engineers are tied up in daily afternoon stand-ups to go over the latest data with Apple's engineers, and they're dictating your R&D schedule. Your company is effectively dependent upon Apple because investors expect revenue growth. Inevitably, however, they'll discard you when a cheaper competitor comes along, or they decide to take the work in-house.

Should you refuse, they'll poach away your employees, or enable your competitors to do the same.

I haven't thought of a scenario where a vendor can actually rebuff Apple and stay intact.
I'm a big SELinux fan and user.

Enabling it won't in itself secure your company's applications, as the default policies in Fedora only apply to installed services (e.g ssh) that have a policy written for them.

This is probably right on the boundary of the shared-security-model, but I think it would be great if they also offered easier ways for application developers to leverage the advertised feature.

Since moving to the EU, I can count the number of times someone has actually cared what I do for a living. It took a few years for me not to care too. I think one of my friends works in a machine shop and another at a bike shop, but I really have no idea. We hang out, play games together, complain about people at our jobs, and all the normal stuff. Yet, not once have we actually talked about what we do for a living.

In the US, the question of what I did for a living was one of the first questions in any conversation, as if my answer was who I was and defined my worth in their eyes. I don’t miss it.

What's your estimate for PHP's long-term viability?

I'm asking, because it was the hobbyists and kids who got started in PHP mucking around in their everyday white-label cPanel/Plesk-based web-hosting accounts in the very early 2000s that really gave PHP the mindshare of enthusiastic users and thus its staying power. But it's 2021 now: all the kids are getting started with NodeJS for server-side web-applications, not PHP.

With the decline of traditional web-hosting as something that people have and might experiment with (replaced at the low-end by Wix and Squarespace, and major "Cloud" providers at the high-end), what opportunities does PHP have to attract new eyeballs?

Years ago self-hosted WordPress and phpBB installs would have been been a good gateway, but both of those are going out of fashion owing to the substantial maintenance burden that comes with self-hosting. Everyone I know that used to self-host WordPress (former clients, friends, local small businesses, etc) have all given-up and switched to WordPress.com's managed-hosting model or gone with the aforementioned Wix and Squarespace.

Ultimately PHP as-we-know-it will last as long as Zend (UPDATE: it's now owned by Perforce?!? wow...) can secure sales/support funding, which is predicated on their continued penetration of major enterprise customers - or indirectly through the continued popularity of WordPress and the like, even if it's hardly ever self-hosted anymore.

Personally, my money's on maybe 5-10 years' continued credibility, and then another 15 years of slow decline into irrelevance.
The West's propaganda is just as clumsy, civil servants everywhere are far removed from real people (the stuff the US used in Iraq/Afghanistan is comic, I believe they are used leaflets drops in Syria too...you could also include public health campaigns and "nudges" in this, lots of comic nonsense).

The difference is that the West has the media which puts its own propaganda, people on the internet putting their own propaganda, etc. There is a market. In China, that market is limited.

I've used PHP recently to work on Phabricator, and the whole "yes it sucked but now it's good" narrative did not match my experience at all. Sure it might have added modern features but the core is still rotten.

The alternative would have to be TCL levels of bad to make me choose PHP.

Yeah, I didn't think about it at all - I didn't realize that what I'm saying is basically demanding people to work for free (and on things that won't be useful to anyone in 99% of cases), and that's on top of already huge effort that is writing the paper in the first place. Honestly, I was behaving like people who open tickets in an open source project just to demand that someone implements a particular feature, just for them, and right now. I dislike such behavior, and realizing that I'm doing the same hit me hard :)

I haven’t heard of HotGlue! I did a pretty exhaustive search and I don’t think it turned up in my contenders list. For our use case, your product hits the nail on the head, however the pricing structure is a tad prohibitive upfront - especially when this is more of a side project right now. Your $5 or so per seat, which comes down to $1 per seat once we hit 1000 users makes sense to us based on our own pricing models and projections. It’s just the initial $499 upfront that we’d need to be spending while building out our product that’s the real turnoff. However I’m assuming you might have a higher barrier of entry to curb abuse / tyre kickers. If you’ve got any flexible options, and are open to it - feel free to reach out at kurtis [at] tensq.com.au - I’d love to run you through what we’re building and see if we can work something out.
"Didn't know context of joke here"

Why are people referring to it as a joke? He may have said it in a jocular tone-of-voice, but I don't think it was a joke at all: it's a reasoned statement to make and furthermore it's a statement I agree with: given US blue-chip companies' propensity to entrench themselves and the CCP's reversion back to authoritarianism (which history has made abundantly clear: rarely ends-well for authoritarians) means that absent anything unexpected happening, the CCP may very-well no-longer exist within a generation or two from now - or at least the CCP won't exist as-we-know-it.

You should just develop your apps in/with/for containers. The container contains all the dependencies for your app. This way you never have to think about the host OS ever again; your app "just works" (once you hook up the networking, environment, secrets, storage, logging, etc for whatever is running your container). That sounds like a lot of extra work, but actually it's just standardizing the things you should already be dealing with even if you didn't use containers. The end result is your app works more reliably and you can run it anywhere.
Fedora is the upstream for RHEL, and was the upstream for CentOS. While many folks use Fedora as a desktop OS alternative to Ubuntu, Fedora was not designed with desktops in mind.

You are correct saying it is designed for EC2 instances, as it is the de facto default image for EC2 instances, despite many folks choosing an Ubuntu image instead.
That is pretty cool! Paul Stamets is worth mentioning here. One can find a ton of media presence, books and projects from him. Very interesting stuff!
I'm not that old (30's) but we were forced into learning how to touch-type throughout grade-school. Pretty much any white-collar work requires it. Getting through university basically requires it (even humanities courses; good luck writing long essays without it). It's shocking that anyone who went through school in a developed country can't touch-type.

Or at least a bunch of examples in the RFC itself. Don't you just love reading a long description of a convoluted data format with literally zero examples of how the full thing looks and what it is supposed to mean? Sadly, leaving the validation undocumented is pretty common across formats/protocol descriptions, and RFCs actually seem to generally be on the "more specific" end of scale, thanks to the ubiquitous use of MUST/SHOULD language. But I've recently wrote a toy ELF parser and it's amazing how many things in its spec are left implicit: e.g. you probably should check that calculating a segment's end (base+size) doesn't overflow and wrap over zero... should you? Maybe you're supposed to support segments that span over the MAX_MEMORY_ADDRESS into the lower memory, who knows? The spec does not say.

Get-Help is pretty good, but I don't like several things about it:

1. You have to go out of your way to fetch the full help pages on a given PowerShell installation (they're not stored locally by default).

2. Even after you fetch the full help, not all of it is actually included in the Get-Help output (IIRC examples), so you often need to use `Get-Help -Online`, which opens a separate application (browser) and that sucks

3. Inside the terminal, there's little to no special formatting or syntax highlighting, unlike what you get with a good `man` pager

4. Get-Help output (unlike `man` output as configured on most distros) is not paged by default.

`man` could be better, and I don't really vibe with `info`, but Get-Help isn't that great imo. The actual content of the help is quite good, and it's nice that it includes examples, but the same is true of most man pages.
Why: what to learn is a lot clearer.

Also, social skills are an oppositional race to some degree: you want to get better at getting people to trust you at the same time people are learning how to not trust anyone in this environment of being grifted by ads/shitty jobs/pundits 24/7.

My advice: Be kind but ruthlessly performative. Think of yourself as putting on a show for other people. But tap into your innate compassion and love for humankind and ask yourself how they could benefit from the show.

Buying an old one and restoring it would probably be a better idea.

All my white goods are several decades old and still work well with occasional periodic maintenance. That's the other thing: back then, they were designed to last with maintenance; now, they're designed to be "maintenance-free" until they break completely and in a very cost-prohibitive-to-repair way.
Considering just WordPress powers something like 40% of the whole www, I'd say quite a few people!
80% of the web is powered by PHP and 40% of that is WordPress which has continued to grow. 64% of CMS websites are WordPress. There’s what gets upvotes, and then there’s what is widely used, supported, easy to hire devs for and practical as hell. PHP, unlike Perl which I used to contribute to, is here to stay.

> If you don't mind using bleeding edge versions, there is a branch called "PGTK" that allows the GTK interface to run natively on Wayland!

The two biggest Linux distros (Ubuntu and Fedora) are Wayland by default now. And the 'standard' Emacs distribution you install through the Software 'store' in both is GTK (which of course works). Wayland support isn't really a big deal anymore. I haven't come across any apps that don't work on Wayland.
Phabricator, much like WordPress, kind of lives in its own world and hasn't adopted most aspects of modern PHP. Even as someone who works with PHP and enjoys it, I wouldn't want to use Phabricator.

Helmut Kohl, the ex-Chancellor, understood very well that German might is better used sparingly and almost gently. Germany pushing anything is likely to revive many historical resentments.

Aside from the resentments, what really bothers me is the construction of the eurozone. At present, it is a club whose largest members - aside from Germany itself - are deeply in debt, with no prospect for debt reduction. There is already talk about relaxing the Maastricht stability criteria, because not even Belgium is capable to keep its public debt under control.

Does it mean that the future of the EU is an "Umverteilungsunion", redistributive union which takes from the relatively few members with balanced sheets and gives to the other ones? (That ISN'T what the Germans agreed to when the euro was created.) Or is the debt can going to be kicked down the road by keeping the basic interest rates at 0 forever, so that the indebted countries do not go bankrupt trying servicing their debt, and hoping that this won't lead to runaway inflation?
I used PHP about two years ago and I was not impressed at all with the improvements. Yes, some of the issues had been fixed, but many of them remained. I cannot see any reason for using it over JS, Python or Ruby.
