We're saying the same thing :) Templating language (for the web) and handle forms (on the web) makes PHP a web-language first and foremost. That's also the impression I get from reading the following section from the Wikipedia page you linked:

> PHP development began in 1994 when Rasmus Lerdorf wrote several Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs in C,[16][17] which he used to maintain his personal homepage. He extended them to work with web forms and to communicate with databases, and called this implementation "Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter" or PHP/FI.

He was working on his homepage (on the web) and wanted to make it easier to handle forms and communication with databases. That's basically everything the early web could do, and PHP aimed to make that easier.
> don't require you to ship a browser with your application

The key feature of Neutralino (as opposed to Electron) is that it does _not_ require you to ship a browser - it provides similar developer UX to Electron, but it uses your system's existing browser so binaries are dramatically smaller (2MB for hello world) and memory overhead is minimal (~3MB for hello world).
Windows desktop refuses to even let the monitors sleep if it detects eg game controllers such as Heusinveld Sprints (pedals).

It's truly notoriously bad. I suppose it's designed that way to ensure a game won't black screen, but how hard would it be to make it a bit smarter? Ie when VSCODE or Terminal has focus, allow sleep.

You can't ask people to use a driving aid and not end up less focused. With advertising, "infotainment" (which is really disguised entertainment), music, oustide environment and passengers it is already hard for a driver to focus on his driving. You can't expect any human being short of people paid for that to keep hands brushing the wheel and feet ready to slam the brakes.

Having said that I am not sure most people are safer for cyclists and pedestrians. FSD is in such a bad state right now that the tesla is driving in the streets at the speed 80y old people do. What I saw in a video is a car that drive at a similar pace to a cyclist, it is even much slower in the crossing sections.
Same here, the latest asp.net is definitely one of the best performing options out there (maybe except rust in this list), and C# is a great general purpose language to code in (despite the legacy that's in there, like the reflection going on in the framework. unfortunately).
iPads are GREAT value. I can still count how many iPads I've had since I got into it:

- around 2011 I had an iPad 2

- resold it half a year later, granted, because I wanted the new RETINA version
... which I used until late 2016 !! It was still usable for anything but browsing, when browsing the the 512 MB RAM wasnt keeping up with the bloated web, and it wasnt holding more than one tab in memory so it was becoming a hassle, otherwise back then all my RSS apps etc worked just fine

- then I bought an iPad AIR 2 early 2017, which I am still using today! I could probably get another couple years out of this one

That's 3 iPads over 10+ years.

Nowaadatys the iPad is also pretty much a PC if you connect a USB hub you can use a keyboard, a mouse ...

This talk is using "feel good about yourself" playbook, that's why it is the most viewed one.

- You cannot succeed unless you try. ( This is misinterpreted by average joe as "if I believe/try enough I will succeed, if not I didn't try enough )

- If you are a failure, it is not your fault. ( This one is the basic blame the system playbook )

Examples of exceptional people chosen specifically, Sharespeare, The Dancer, etc. Everybody thinks they have some undiscovered talent, nobody wants to be the average.

There will be some exceptional people, and with current schooling some exceptional talent will be lost, but it is much better than having less than average educated majority.
Lego has changed since we were kids (2014)
The iPad conquered the premium tablet market and left pretty much no survivors (if we count convertible laptops separately - but even if we don't, I assume they don't really make a big dent in numbers, esp. if we checked how many are actually used in tablet mode. That's just an assumption though - reader beware).

On the low end, I guess it's more of a mixed bag, with hundreds of models from hundreds of brands, some quite ephemeral or existing on Amazon/Aliexpress/eBay only. But indeed the kindle fire stands out for delivering amazing value for money - I have 3 at home (a 10inch, and a 2-for-1 8inch promotion they run periodically) and, while they are very, very clearly no iPad, they work remarkably well once you add the Aurora store to them (admittedly not the most newbie friendly operation, but most people can find a techie friend to bribe with a pizza).

If Amazon ever puts out one with a true USB-C (capable of video out, unlike current ones), I'll try going on a short holiday with only one of these, just to see how it works out.

If they make one which ships with Google Play Store/Services out of the box (or find a legal way to proxy to the Play Store through their own), I expect they'll sell well.

Maybe didn't mean you, but the GP's "I have a hard time to see any relevance in a life without children anymore. This might be complete bs but certainly floats my boat." That sounds like it could make a kid think "So they didn't have me for my sake, just so they could find 'relevance' in their life".

> in practice not having a physical separation between "this is where I work" and "this is where I don't work" makes that mental switch damn near impossible.

A good way to enforce this separation is by hardware. (This has many other benefits as well.)

I have a work laptop which is for work only (provided by employer). I switch it on at 9am and I turn it off when the day is done. My own machines are mine, no work or work-related communication happens on them, ever.

While these machines are only a few feet away from each other, once the work laptop is off, it's off.
Deciding to have children when you are lost and miserable on the off chance that it will solve your problems sounds like a terrible idea.

With this reasoning, you might as well just get as big a mortgage as you can get instead. It will also give you a "meaning in life" - freeing yourself from the debt burden - and keep you busy for the next 30 years. At least you won't be gambling with a newly created life.
Totally agree. This is beyond taste or preference.

Yes you can build a great app in PHP. But so you can in Kotlin or Ruby or ...

Yes some have a career by starting with PHP. But that does not make it a good language for beginners. Same can be said (and to me is verrrry true) fro JavaScript.

Language design matters. It shapes how you think about code. Talk to people who've learned AND USED many languages including some esoteric ones like Haskell, a LISP or OCaml. Then see what they have to say PHP and JS for beginners.

I think it should started a discussion about some excesses of the stock market. Rich people can look for battered companies and severely profit from their accelerated demise which some people wanted to fight against for once. Out of their own motives for profit or just for fun to be able to at least once stick it to speculators looking for easy profit. That trading was halted and "corrected" proved they had an impact.

I don't think the stock market serves a public function with these mechanisms in place and needs further regulation.
Wayland still doesn't handle fractional scaling as well as x11 (at least for my laptop) and the text blurriness with fractional scaling is really a show stopper. X11 just works though. Hopefully they will iron out the last of the bugs and this 10 year project will finally achieve its potential.
How about "there are no sides only progress in different areas"? I'm not saying writing PHP is more "valuable" than designing chips. Besides that, what does that have to do with anything mentioned in this very thread?

Whilst you’re entitled to your opinion, it wasn’t 2 years, it was 6 months of not travelling to the regions in NSW: the rights that were protected were the rights to preservation of life as evidenced by the significantly lower excess mortality in Australia. You obviously value these things differently to me, and it’s hard to have this argument without conflating the other aspects of our federal government that I think we would absolutely agree with, but a once in several generations pandemic is a good reason to do something drastic
The government is the only reason those people can reduce the availability of information - they are already involved.
Some of the classic ThinkPad features just aren't relevant anymore today. For example hot-swappable batteries feel outdated to me in the age of USB-C PD power banks, as those are easier to recharge and not tied to a specific laptop model.

Other features such as user-replaceable RAM and storage, and a great keyboard, are dearly missed and make me feel like we've gone in the wrong direction. I love my M1 MacBook Air, but not _because_ of the thinness and the things that have been sacrificed to achieve it.
The fingerprint changes on every refresh for me. I have uBlock, Privacy Badger and similar extensions enabled if that matters.

I agree, matte display is great. And as I said, I calibrated mine.

Strange, I've seen reports on the Lenovo support forums that Gen 2 laptops are also susceptible to the battery drain in S3. Was it always like this? Or was it fixed with some firmware update?

Yes.

I beg to differ. What comparative options do you have experience with to base your claim on?

If you have an app that has frequent UI updates this could save you a lot to time. Another scenario that I see is possibility to create localized version of screenshot for different languages. I used to maintain docs on a site that was translated to 10 languages, app was localized to even larger number of languages but I've always used screenshots only on source (original) language.

You are correct. I meant something else, see the edit.
I've been using Xplore on Android for ages. It's an amazing file manager.

It might not be stock, but it's easy to get from the app store.
Regarding the micro SD card reader, is that really a micro SD card slot?

I think it's more likely a SIM card slot. Lenovo has included these for quite some time (under the battery in the T460, for instance). That's not something you change every day, so needing a pin to open it makes sense (plus, it prevents against theft somewhat). Also, a lot of modems do not like you removing it while they are powered on, so having the lid prevent its opening sounds like a feature.
If you want to store user data with consensus, in a tamper-proof way that can be universally accessed you need to use blockchains.

>Frankly, the small cost of robustness in contracts should have been factored in from the beginning. It just does not need to be so damn lean and rickety.

It really doesn't seem necessary, more complicated contracts require custom frontends to interact with anyway.
I actually found Ted talks to be good for teaching English. You get great subtitles in real time, along with transcripts, so I teach English my way: students and tutor take turns reading out loud, then we play the Ted speaker. Practices reading, speaking and listening.
It's moving somewhere from "not quite there yet" to "substantial, qualitative improvement" as we speak. I'm following what happens in that space with React/Node based things like Next, and Redwood (soon v1.0), and others. The building blocks are there and the integrations get better and better.

The big win of those will be tighter frontend and development integrations that are just not as feasible with a different language stack (PHP/Laravel, Python/Django, Ruby/Rails).
There's some okay-ish Android tablets (Lenovo's Pxx pads, Nokia's new one seems promising, Samsung's if you somehow can stand their atrocious interface), but it has been less a war, and more the equivalent of the US Invasion of Grenada. Nobody really bothered putting up much of a fight.
I believe I am lost in translation, but I could also have concluded as such I guess.

This is even less meaningful than word clouds in my opinion (final conclusion pending).
What's wrong with FastCGI? PHP provides a CGI-like model regardless of which interface to the web server is actually used.

I've upgraded quite a few PHP systems, and 7.2 was the major stumbling block that I've seen for most projects. Which "changes the semantics of functions between minor versions" are you referring to? In the 7.0 update there was the changing of order that e.g. $foo[bar]->boom[baz] would be evaluated, but obviously that isn't your complaint.
I got one (previous, non-USB-C) for reading magazines and my biggest complaint is that it's very heavy for its size. It feels much heavier than a 10" iPad and it feels very sluggish. The microSD card sometimes stops working (and since some apps were moved to it because built-in storage was running out), they become inaccessible). It's a good value for a quarter of what an iPad costs, but an iPad is a lot more than 4x more usable.
I tried CADQuery in the past, but struggled with the setup. With a very limited python background, it was suprisingly difficult to understand what prerequisites are required.

I already have python installed. Why do I need anaconda? What is anaconda? "A data science toolkit" (from their website) ? Why do I need that?
Why can't I just "pip install cadquery" and expect it to work?

It turns out conda is an alternative package manager for python, and cadquery is only distributed via conda, not pip. I'm surprised this basic bit of information is (still) not explained in the docs.

The issue you created finally explained _why_ to me, so thanks for that :)

The problem is that cadquery depends on OpenCascade Technology (OCCT), a 3D geometry library. A full build is ~1.5GB, and it is the reason why the download for CadQuery is so big.
PyPI is not meant for such large packages, and currently has no mechanism to allow for out of bounds binary downloads.
That's the all selling point of the talk though. System is hiding potential outliers ( like the dancer example ) Although it is conveniently ignoring the failure examples.

You’re describing accelerating creative destruction. It’s painful but good. Prevent it entirely and you cause stagnation.

> Not one bartender in sight would take cash, and put it into the system in 30min when the power was back.

That's actually understandable. If they were able to do that, then they could pocket some of the cash, and so they were almost certainly told by management that if they were ever caught serving a drink without entering the order into the accounting system first, they'd be fired.

> I haven't for example seen many things that can honestly compete with WordPress.

I'm sorry? Compete on what parameters?

Almost all frameworks win, hands down, in developer-friendlyness from WordPress. Many, if not most, modern CMSes can easily compete on security or performance. Many CMSes will win in user-friendlyness - for distinct use-case even more so. Many web-frameworks win easily in versatility: there's no way you can build a solid payment-service-provider in WordPress, build a Bookkeeping app, CRM, project-management, etc in WP. Yet these are fine in Java, .net, Rails, Django or even Rust.

The only place where I consider WordPress king, is for standalone, reasonably simple, blogs. This is a giant niche.

* standalone: not integrated into CRMs, or editorial workflow software. reasonably simple: no complex editorial and publishing workflows. blogs: anything slightly more than simple brochureware, but simpler than an avera CMSes.
You mentioned computers hardware. But computers are not a shim like PHP. It's surprising if not disturbing people think PHP is a progress of any kind. But at least it's improving.

The Bible isn't really the source of any narrative archetype, it's recycling stuff that's been around the Middle East for thousands of years before the Iron Age.
The Old Testament is really to be credited with theological innovation. By the time Rome came around, Jews stood out extremely in the religious landscape.

I won't even get into the New Testament. Jesus brings a lot of radical ideas, but he's starting from ideas of the Pharisees and the Zealots. And that's not accounting for the fact that the interpretative framework that makes our entire understanding and perception of the New Testament is entirely Greek, all the other currents of Early Christianity have disappeared.
I think it makes sense in this particular case. I was actually looking for something like this for a while.

I just want a glorified `autoindex on`. I don't want to manage an extra container just for that.

Interesting theory. It does appear to be incredibly naive at times when taken literally. Although there are some rather matter of fact conversations about the progression of political regimes to the point of tyranny, i.e., the post-democratic degenerate phase... which reads as a prophesy to me personally in these times.

Totally agree with your other statement.
Background as to why Mary Magdalenes account is so important when discussing Jesus and the New Testament. Also shows the tension and resentment some apparently had towards her.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene

Gospel of Mary Magdalene is a book that is believed to be an account of her albeit not directly written by her. Though it should be noted that there are some disagreements about whether other books from the New Testament were actually written by their respective disciples either.

https://www.compellingtruth.org/gospel-of-Mary-Magdalene.htm...

This last link helps illustrate how the Bible is collated by man to fit a narrative defined by man. What isn’t explained in that article though is how religion was used to control a populous, often even used as a legal system. Which should cast scepticism about the motives behind the various rewrites and decisions behind what gets included and what doesn’t.
