Yes but _How to win friends and influence people_ started that genre, and is an extreme example of the style. All those anecdotes...
> I don't think there's a good reason to design a language specifically for web projects. If that's how PHP works these days (I haven't used PHP in a decade or so), I'd suggest that might be a bad thing. It's very rigid, and if the language gets anything wrong that compromises the design of every project that uses it. Languages should provide simple primitives that frameworks and libraries build on.

That has always been the goal of PHP, to be a web framework in itself (and now we have frameworks on top of that framework). It's trivial to read POST data as understanding POST requests are built-in into the language. With Rust or JavaScript you either will pull down a external library to handle that for you, or write a ton of code to make it easier for yourself. With PHP, it's literally one-line of code.

It is not as rigid as you might believe, as we have frameworks on top of the native PHP framework already. That's not to say PHP is without compromises, it's not suitable for a bunch of different projects (you wouldn't write mobile/desktop apps with it for example). But if you have a simple CRUD application that just needs to output some HTML data and persist stuff to a MariaDB/MySQL database without wanting to pull down a bunch of 3rd-party dependencies, PHP will make that effortless compared to basically any other language.

I think the popularity of PHP for web development speaks for itself, it basically conquered that segment of development when it first appeared, and is still more-or-less king, even with its warts.

As a last word, I like that languages specializes in different things, not every language has to be a general-use language, and I hope we see more of that in the future. Darklang specializes in building backend APIs for example, others specializes in being for UIs and so on. As every language more or less looks like C today, there is plenty of room for innovation in programming language design (and no, not talking about TypeScript which is basically just C# that compiles to JavaScript, but more different languages).
You may criticize TED, but here we are, having a debate on one of the most popular talk.

Isn't it the point ?
I like Semver. Not because it guarantees that a minor bump won't break anything, but that the maintainers expect it shouldn't.

If I need to bump a version with Semver, I can estimate how long it will take. Going from log4j 1.2.17 to 2.17.1 will be bigger than going from 2.16.0 to 2.17.0. And 2.17.0 to 2.17.1 should be easy.

I completely agree with your last paragraph, though. I'll take a collection of utilities from a well known organisation over many tiny dependencies any day.
Aside from the upfront cost, how much do you think a query would cost? I know it's a bit hand-wavy as it depends on the infrastructure itself, but maybe you already have an order of magnitude of the projected cost? I wonder just how much margin google/bing is actually making with the API.

I guess kagi is currently running at a loss?
Awe, thank you. I really appreciate that.

Happy birthday to you too. I have a 1 in 365.2502 chance of being right.

Was there even a tablet war? Was anyone even close to iPad? I've had several Android based tablets and each one had its own quirks. With iPad you exactly know what you are getting into.
You post as if the only argument I made was about the gender of the authors but that’s not the case. I had also made points about why it’s also not a good book from a literacy standpoint too.

My point was it doesn’t work either as a factual piece, as a piece of literacy nor even as a set of moral principles. It’s just not a good set of texts by any modern standards.
As long as you have decent test coverage, this is a brilliant idea. It's a terrible idea if you don't.
If you are on US most likely, outside US or countries with similar economies, hybrid laptops with detachable keyboards/touch screens running Windows have kept their kingdom, as Android tablets are mostly running phone apps on a bigger screeen and not everyone has disposable income for iPads.
This reminds me of Paul Graham's famous quote that ideas are free but execution is everything. The same applies to Ted talks. Sure, there are safe high-capacity batteries that would change everything from mobile phones in the developing world to high tech in the developed world but there are millions of miles from A to B which are not usually brought up in the talks.

I think we miss this fact because we often listen to people who might already be successful so we treat their ideas as unique or special but they are just as cheap. Bill Gates might have a special interest in pandemics but the truth is there are probably a million people who have the same fears as him but who wouldn't be on a Ted talk because they wouldn't be impressive.

There is one thing that I think is great though about Ted talks (some of them) and that is they can encourage and inspire in general. William Kamkwamba's talk about building windmills from scrap in Malawi inspires people that you can have so little but with passion, you can change the world.
It's a collection elaborated over thirteen centuries. I think having in mind the shifting context of writing and the various forces bearing on it make it a far more compelling text. Otherwise a lot of it just reads like out of date mythology and antiquated propaganda. You can see the evolution of Canaanite polytheism to Jewish monolatry and monotheism over time, the political conflicts between the groups of the region following the Bronze Age collapse, the conflicts between Canaanite polities, the retcons to invent a unified Kingdom of Israel, the creation of a literate orthodoxy with the Babylonian exile etc. And that's just the Jewish stuff. The dynamics of Late Second Temple Judaism and Early Christianity are also fascinating.
I have used PHP as a replacement for even shell scripts, like perl and python, a lot in the past. The best thing is the very strong standard lib. Everything's built-in. I like node as well, but having to install so many packages just for that one file script is a major annoyance.
Going to the gym and progressing in any sport made a huge difference for me.
Right, I would also add that being fine-tuned to manipulate the younger generations is also a big minus.
Laptops like the Surface.
Found this after a quick google search: https://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/977426#:~:text=Open%20you.... no clue if it will work
It had a role because PHP is the most used web technology in the world.
They claim that "You don't flip from being extrovert to introvert just because [...]", so their definition implies that people's ability to switch from one to the other is limited. I don't think that's a reasonable thing to claim without evidence.
I think reaction is more about fear of prospect future than actual signs of effective weakness.

People in the stock market are in a race to who's going to anticipate the future better and faster than others. What these people are projecting is that Facebook may not be dying now, but will start dying soon.
> more mature infrastructure and better language

What does this mean?
I disagree Gates' talk didn't have an impact. Prior to COVID, the US and others conducted multiple novel coronavirus "war games" such as Clade X. The results of these events helped inform the European and American vaccine development efforts (an absolute success) and their disease mitigation efforts (granted, a much more mixed result). I think this is about the best impact one could hope for from a pop science speech series.
Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing that AI has generated?
I guess it's up to the person.

I use my iPad for gaming, reading technical books and docs, and watching movies and TV on the train. The phone is pretty shitty for those in my opinion, and I don't want a tablet-like phone in my pocket. I don't think the tablet fad is over, because I'll be in the market for another tablet when this one is end of life.
IEEE's publications, while usually not cheap, are great. I'd also add "Computer" and "Software" to the mix.

And, since I am a retrocomputing enthusiast, "IEEE Annals of the History of Computing" is endless fun.
This is the best execution I've seen so far. And I'm glad it's open since I'm learning Golang and the code is pretty neat.
I'm in the market for a new tablet as well. I have a pretty old iPad that I'm happy with, but I really dislike the Apple ecosystem except for the Macbooks. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 should be releasing soon and that's probably the closest competitor. Other than that, yes, the iPad seems to have won.
>Be careful with criminal prosecutions. I understand the desire for revenge, but criminal liability will cause everyone involved to be silent about issues, cover them up, be uncooperative, and not fix them. (Because to fix them means to admit criminal liability.) To make systems safe requires a "no fault" culture.

It's not about revenge but deterrance.
Top level executives never face any consequences of their actions, except they might receive only a container-load of money instead of a boat-load.
So why shouldn't they take risks with society and other peoples lives, they know they'll be well of if it goes good or bad.

Also, would you apply the same logic to someone who conspired to burgle your home or assault your kids?
He says exactly what he would do. I am under no illusions of what these people are like (my step brother is affiliated with such groups). That does not mean his analysis of the free speech debate is incorrect

If you are alluding to restricting people's speech of views that are unpopular. Those powers will be used against the general population when it becomes politically expedient or will be abused by the authorities.

This week a man was found guilty in Scotland of "grossly offensive" tweet. What is and what isn't grossly offensive has no objective standard.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-convicted-posting-...

Potential sentencing could mean that he could be jail for 6 months. Being in jail for 6 months for posting something that is inflammatory (and has no call to violence) is ridiculous.

This is the result of not protecting free speech rights for people that have abhorrent views. Fairly normal people that say stupid things are criminalised.
AXA trialed a blockchain insurance product called fizzy. The concept was that you bought the insurance, and an oracle published flight information, and if your flight was delayed, the payout was automatic.

They haven't continued with it, so it may have had problems, and I don't know if it required proof that you actually had a ticket (not doing so could create various problems), but actually I think the blockchain is a great option for this.

The reason is that many people do not trust insurance companies. There is a feeling that they will find any excuse to avoid paying out. To have a blockchain solution where payout is according to a smart contract that is transparent and public is a way to build trust with your customers.
I guess this is disputable, but my point would be that the whole model should be taken down, not just its main representative.
Comparing PHP to using wood and nails feels misguided. PHP is a web framework, which makes it easy to handle writing web applications. It's more like using Python for web stuff is wood and nails, while using PHP is using wood and a nailgun when you need to stitch planks together (or something like that). PHP is made for the web, and you can tell by the specialization of the API interface it offers, which ships with most things you need for doing web stuff, while most languages does not. Getting the body from a POST request is trivial in PHP, while in most language you'll use a library for that, or write a bunch of code.
How and why is that illegal? I am stumped that market participants would not be allowed to correct the capital misallocations of others.

Is there any law or ruling you can point out to?
The Rwanda civil war was partially the outcome of colonialism by Germany and later Belgian administration, creating a class society where the rich minority group of Tutsi ruled supreme over the more poor Hutu. Belgium introduced identity cards classifying each individual as Tutsi, Hutu, Twa or Naturalised.

Pretty obviously, such state of affairs wasn't stable. After world war 2 there were several riots and violence, and the Belgium administration attempted to switch side and promote Hutu over Tutsi. A Hutu government emerged and declared themselves independent, and started to purge the Tutsi population. After a few years of wars with nearby countries, instability, and displacement of Tutsi, the Tutsi population formed a armed military force and a civil war broke out. After a couple of years of guerilla wars and temporarily peaces, with neither side winning, the Hutu army/administration decided on the idea of genocide as a final solution to the conflict.

Where in this process did free speech cause the genocide?
Using hyperlinks is a security risk for the receiver. That is probably one answer for the question ”why”.

Often it is recommended to not use hyperlinks, so receiver can see where they are going.

Hyperlinks are the most used tool for scammers. Of course, limitation in Mail app does not help too much.
I never read his book, but I have taken a course by him via email. But yes, I believe they are the same thing. I think BJ Fogg has a more academic bent to it while this is a book from someone telling a story about what worked for them. I tend to like personal stories backed up with scientific evidence(I don't know if tiny habit is like that since I never read it). But, I like the practical implementation steps given in a personal story. What this book has over the stuff I was doing via email is that it is less complicated.
Do these dependencies actually matter when you deploy or are they just used for the actual compiling?
Very true, people with demands of content removal are the real problem. Still, the best way to deal with this would have been to not ever give in to demands of removals. Otherwise you made yourself a slave towards everyone that asks for more. And it will never subside again as the critics have other problems and will never be happy.
I was looking for one and I didn't find it. I ended up with Logitech G213. This is not a mechanical keyboard, but it is not a thin one like you have on laptops.

I wanted a keyboard that has a palm rest. Most of the mechanical keyboards that were available to me didn't have it. It seems to me that keyboards are created for gamers only. Maybe I was looking at wrong places.
A language that changes the semantics of functions between minor versions has no "right way".
"count()"less examples of crap. I have currently two weeks of code migration behind me because code running correctly on 7.0 fails on 7.3 -- while I see the reason for change was necessary I also see the hopelessness of rebuilding a flawed house with a fundament build on a pile of manure.

And the good news given to me by a colleague is that they pulled the same stunt going from 7.3 to 7.4. It's like depending on stumbling alcoholics instead of language designers.

Not much has changed since core devs tried to mitigate an overflow by testing for "$variable < MAXINT".
For now, yes. Just a couple of weeks back, I was looking for a tablet with decent specs and a headphone jack and a fingerprint sensor (I don’t trust face unlock). And there were zero android tablet matching that criteria. While budget iPad line has fulfilled those requirements for a couple of years.

Now, There have been many android tablets released in recent years. And if you don’t have “peculiar” needs, you might find something worthwhile.

I do not like Apple’s ecosystem. And would prefer android ecosystem. But Apple has best hardware and offers twice the longevity of an android. So, I have chosen to use iPad
I read the news on a government funded news website a few times a week. They're great, as both "sides" of politics argue they're a biased source for the other side, so they're probably fairly neutral.
For younger kids, the Amazon Fire 10 kids edition tablets are nice (nearly indestructible, cheap, parent controls and a lot of content if you subscribe to Kids+). If you have several kids, you can get 3 Amazon Fires for the price of an iPad. They are useful as long as kids don't need to use a browser, because Amazon's Silk is horrible. And you should probably avoid the Fire 7/8, because they are too slow... (haven't use the latest 7/8 models, but they still have slower CPUs than the 10 inch models)

But for adults, I don't think Android tablets are worth the trouble. iPads just work, while Android apps do not always work that well on tablets. Also, iPads are really fast. And while they are more expensive, they have a much higher resale value.
You might want to consider switching to decaffeinated coffee.
If you want to see how the virus correlates with death you ought to look at rates of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, not wealth.
The question is not can you use something else, it's are they nicer/better tools to work with. I haven't for example seen many things that can honestly compete with WordPress. When it comes to eCommerce, not many systems can compete with Magento/Spryker/Sylius. The list goes on. PHP is a top player in web development while being one of the most hated languages for a reason.

I've spent a lot of time using PHP professionally and then coding all my personal stuff in Python/Go/Scala/Kotlin/etc. I know the downsides of PHP and I know the upsides and I often prefer coding in other languages but PHP really does have it's place.
I've been involved in things originally called "AI" for most of my "career", such as it was. I've worked in a lot of, as they were called at the time, Artificial Intelligence projects. Of course, once they moved into the implementation phase they were no longer AI. For example, I worked on natural language understanding, robots, machine vision, neural networks, expert systems, speech recognition, touch sensing, self-reproducing systems, path planning, assembly planning, malware detection, computer algebra, knowledge representation, and human-robot interaction.

Russell states:
"I want to be clear that we are a long way from achieving general purpose AI".

I want to be clear that anyone who talks about "general purpose AI" is failing to define their terms clearly. In fact, I suspect that any definition would exclude most, if not all, humans.

Rod Brooks is probably closest when he discusses the idea of learning at the 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, etc. levels of self-learning.

When you hear the phrases "Artificial General Intelligence" or "General Purpose AI" you should insist on a clear, exact definition. Otherwise the discussion is about nothing, basically pop-philosophy.
Not at all. We actually use it from F# with Falco. I am not sure which features you are interested in particular but the ones we like are the basic HTTP handling (requests, responses, etc.), a high performance HTTP server (Kestrel) and we use Falco's html engine as well. On the top of that there is a decent authentication and authorization solution.
Not only that, I can almost guarantee that computers were involved in all of those failing projects as well, yet are not receiving any blame for it. Neither does the chairs. Damn chairs always avoiding blame.
My X220 is like the grandpa’s axe. Over the decade that I have owned it, I have replaced everything. What I like the most about that design is that it’s easy to disassemble it to bits and reassemble it back non-destructively.
Google searches.
The Republic is arguably more of a metaphor for the well-ordered mind, an analogy for his notion of a tripartite soul, much more than an earnest attempt at constructing a schematic for a utopian society.

I do agree more people should read a few early Platonic dialogues because he teaches you to question things. I think, beyond anything else, that is what he wanted to teach. A lot of people call themselves skeptics today, but they seem primarily interested in debunking ideas and attitudes other people have that they don't share, but don't see that there is a lot of things they themselves take for granted.
Continuing on Rails: It's suprising how little Rails does with the web. Rack is the layer handling the HTTP stuff. Which then sends its requests to ActionDispatch, which calls the correct ActionRouter.

IMHO this is still too much HTTP, as I'd prefer to keep the entire HTTP out of my app, but after your routers, there's nothing "Web": it could all be "domain specific".

Ruby, the language, is, indeed, hardly "Web" at all. Ruby stdlib has some HTTP stuff but that is both lacking and optional.
I was curious how they did the typesetting of the computer generated graphics back then. Printers weren't really a thing.
Yup. This. I WFH like most of us these days and although I have a desk with separate monitor, I sometimes prefer to work at the desk in my bedroom or dining table. Just for a change of scenery

iPad separate display and Universal Control is magical https://www.cultofmac.com/765506/universal-control-is-magica...

iPad is also nice for sitting down and reviewing a PR, reading an arch doc etc
Oh, yeah... Those were the nice ones I must admit.
In switzerland there was no strict confinment, rather a strong recomendation to stay at home. The most that was imposed was closure of bars and non-essential shops, and restriction of private gatherings to 5 people. Work for home was mendatory unless you could not work from home.

Never mind the financing, my point is that Japan/Tokyo had the political will to significantly improve their railways in 1965, at a time where most administrations in the western world had a 100% car-centric strategy. For example, if you look at what became of the equally ambitious expansion plans of the New York subway from the 1960s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_for_Action), it's a sad story indeed...
fully agree... and those (Lazarus/wxWidgets/Qt) generate native code and don't require you to ship a browser with your application...
Yes, anything that sits between a human and the inner-workings of a computer is a user-interface. That power-button on the panel of the server hardware? That's a user-interface.

I don’t know why is this being downvoted my partner is an architect and pretty much her entire industry as far as residential interior design and architecture goes runs on Instagram…

This is the primary channel for her work as an independent architect and for all the companies she works with.

Instagram is a big part of small businesses today even if you might not like the lifestyle/influencer business model you can’t ignore reality.

Restaurants, hairdressers and beauty saloons, joiners and contractors and many other sectors heavily rely on it to promote their business and get exposure to potential clients.
> but the truth is a disturbing minority of this country believes Trump

I believe this is just you looking for excuses to close yourself to other arguments and perspectives. I think there is quite an easy explanation for the success of Trump and that is that people were fed up with politics. Especially good weather topics like representation that are interesting for well-situated students that believe they don't get enough attention.

I don't condemn people that are against Trump, on the contrary. But I do condemn those that cannot explain his success and lack reflection on how that could have happened.
