The reason why people now care about PHP is that, decades ago they thought PHP would the right way to develop projects, now they are stuck, because they cannot get rid of PHP any more. If you look at any well grounded projects, they try to avoid PHP at all cost. Only handful amount people are responsible for core development. Decision are made based on "copying" other languages like Java, plus you always end up using lots of tools just to make your code safer.

There are tons of tools to get things done, PHP is one of the worst ones.
> I'm only partly sarcastic. If you think you're entitled to anything provided as a free service then the problem starts there. Do I miss the days when ISPs provided email as part of your subscription? Then made you pay for anything over 100 Mb? Then held your email address hostage if you wanted to switch providers? Hell no. But I also don't think government should force anyone to provide services to me for free.

I'm gonna argue that government shouldn't force anyone to provide services for free, but they should mandate that if you provide a service, you also take responsibility for the customer's property in context of that service, whether that service is free or not.

If I take my car to be serviced and they accept it, they can't just tow it to a junkyard and tell me to bugger off when I come back for it. Why can Google effectively put my private correspondence through the shredder and tell me to bugger off?

Likewise, offering to hold your grocery bag for a minute for free while you go to the restroom doesn't entitle me to destroy everything in the bag and throw it away.
That's pretty much what I wrote. You are disagreeing with a strawman.

> corporate decision making is purely an optimization game between profits over various horizons. If they think this maximizes their payoff, they'll do it.

Keyword being "various horizons". Sometimes it's a long term strategy, often it will be just maximizing the next bonus..
I agree, but for a different reason: There's a vast body of knowledge and literature pertaining to managing people -- assuming that and the associated social skills can be substituted by reading a list of semi-structure generalized anecdotes is lightheaded.

Also some of the points are very superficial/wrong, e.g.: It's hard to get people to own a problem space fully / But this is the goal / If they are the wrong person, you can still fire them

I don't agree with that train of thought at all.
A huge amount of language in the western world is based around biblical stories, and you need to know dozens of them to understand common idioms and metaphors. From the snake in the garden of Eden to being the David to someone's Goliath, to being a good Samaritan, to camels going through the eye of a needle (and here's dozens more https://city.org.nz/blog/eo-bible-20181101).

Beyond that, especially in English, the King James bible's phrasing of dozens if not hundreds of biblical passages are now common turns of phrase - where not knowing their origin reveals you as a uncultured.

Same as Aesop's or La Fontaine's fables, really -- you know it's fiction, you don't have to think it is a good story, you don't even have to agree with the morale -- but since everyone literate in the last two centuries is familiar with it, you will look out of place not knowing it.
I have all three, and the iPad serves its own functions. In particular I use it for making music, and vastly prefer that workflow to making music on the MBP. There's an incredible music app ecosystem on the iPad.
I can say from experience that teaching / tutoring is extremely rewarding, even when you do it for free. Harkens back to those days when we were starting out and getting super frustrated. Try and be the teacher you wish you'd had back then and watch the lights go on when they finally grok a concept :)
As someone who had to learn a bit of PHP recently, I really don't see why would anyone pick it up these days other than vendor/business lock in. Laravel is great but there are hundreds of equally as great frameworks on dozens of more moderns and better though out languages: go, python, nim, ruby etc. A bunch of useful functions expanded into the default namespace is no longer that special.
In what sense do you not trust face unlock?

>Are the legacies of dead white men the only possible way to organize all knowledge?

The evil dead white men. If only anything prevented non-white living (wo)men to make something of their own without impacting the legacy of these "dead white men".

No surprise the article mentions lots of white women, who can't go a day about trying to change what white men built without coming up with something demonstrably better.

I am sure in those "scientific sexism" section they mention, there are a couple of books on how the affluent white female liberal is the vehicle of societal decay.
IMO, the iPad is really the best option — and other than that, I'm not in the Apple ecosystem at all, so I feel fairly unbiased. But in terms of build quality, responsiveness, and overall tablet-optimized app library, nothing else really comes close.

The Surface Pro line of hybrid laptop/tablets is pretty interesting as a lightweight laptop replacement with pen support, but I suspect that's not what you're looking for in a "tablet for the house" — the OS is definitely not touch-first.

I love my x270.
If you like t420 try the t420s. Same laptop but slimmer and makes it much more transportable. Still has ultra bay, great keyboard, and easy access to everything. I have 3 around the house for various family members and it works great :)
I actually prefer auto-loading, which lets you iterate through a package manager much easier/faster - PHP iterated through PSR-0[0] before landing on PSR-4[1], and you can always build your own (which is what most frameworks pre-composer were doing).

With Rails 7 and Zeitwerk, the Ruby community has landed on a very similar auto-loading system as PHP now[2] with constants translating to paths by convention.

OSC is cool, but I'd say MIDI is often better if networks aren't being used, simply because the routing and connections can be centrally managed with JACK or PipeWire or the like.

If networks are being used, MQTT is my method of choice. It is so much easier to develop and debug when everything is in one place and you have a broker.

Even if there's no network needed, I'd much rather see something embed an MQTT broker than a plain OSC socket, because reliability is often desirable, you often want to know if you are disconnected, etc. MQTT gives you a lot of that stuff for free.

Plus, it gives you retained messages and last will and testament support.

None of these are really perfect for all use cases though. I wish we had something like MQTT but for streaming media.

Again you're predominantly talking products, Orkut was killed off in favour of Google+ which failed for its own reasons. Your example of Noop is weak, at its peak (which you couldn't even really point to) it had a minute fraction of the adoption of what Dart and Flutter has today. It was an experiment with absolutely minor resources put into it as a mostly 20% project, and basically wanted to be what Kotlin already was which had all the resources that came with Jetbrains full backing.

You ignore the points about Google's long term aims of control of a programming language that runs on all platforms. This gives them overall control of multiple ecosystems. Dart is the language that they are using to push Flutter as the framework for controlling whole ecosystems. Fuschia is the project they're going to push for to take over Android.

The webpage doesn't really add weight, because context matters and you are seemingly ignoring the entire context of the a) open-source nature b) business goals c) current adoption d) it's not a product, all to try a push a flippant opinion that doesn't really work when you understand the thought and ideas behind Dart/Flutter.

But you do you, enjoy and all the best.
You should not trust either in terms of serious security. Consider fingerprint or face as identifier or username, instead of the password.

These studies are pretty much worthless. Of course it "works" if you remove your political opposition. At least in the short term. Why do a study if you could have just asked any other dictator?

This is an often overlooked book. Definitely worth the read.
Safety really is a systems level concern. Aircraft software should implement the requirements the systems level put on it and nothing else. If the specification is somehow insufficient this is fed back to the systems level for evaluation and requirements have to be added/changed. This is the entire point of DO-178C.
I will run Wayland when it is built into Linux Mint. When they have fixed screenshots and color pickers and network transparency and any other hidden things I don't know about.
> That has always been the goal of PHP, to be a web framework in itself

This is untrue. PHP was a templating language and form-handler first and foremost[1]. It took a long time for it to move out of that (I'd argue up to 5.6) and become an actual programming language rather than a template language on steroids. Edit: we still have to move out of template mode in every file by adding a <?php at the top of our files - and don't ever add a whitespace char before that, or else.

So, essentially, we now have web-frameworks built in a templating language. With, ironically, template languages written in that templating language.
Nice, if you like recursion though.

[1] Early PHP was not intended to be a new programming language, and grew organically, with Lerdorf noting in retrospect: "I don't know how to stop it, there was never any intent to write a programming language - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Early_history
The ability to send money to any American, instantly, with zero or minimal fees, without having to load my money into a private network like Venmo. Gee, whiz.
Nope. I don't use these frameworks. But thanks for trying to assume how php is on 2022 and how all php devs work.
> How and why is that illegal? I am stumped that market participants would not be allowed to correct the capital misallocations of others.

I don't think (but someone correct me as I'm no professional) the occurrence of short squeezes are illegal, unless there is a knowing collusion behind it (check previous cases from courts regarding collusion to trigger short squeezes). What is illegal is naked shorting (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/regsho.asp) which could be a trigger/condition to future squeezes..
You should take the time to read the SEC Report

"In seeking to answer this question, staff observed that during some discrete periods, GME had sharp price increases concurrently with known major short sellers covering their short positions after incurring significant losses. During these times, short sellers covering their positions likely contributed to increases in GME’s price. For example, staff observed that particularly during the earlier rise from January 22 to 27 the price of GME rose as the short interest decreased. Staff also observed discrete periods of sharp price increases during which accounts held by firms known to the staff to be covering short interest in GME were actively buying large volumes of GME shares, in some cases accounting for very significant portions of the net buying pressure during a period. Figure 6 shows that buy volume in GME, including buy volume from participants identified as having large short positions, increased significantly beginning around January 22 and remained high for several days, corresponding to the beginning of the most dramatic phase of the run-up in GME’s price."

Meaning shorts covering causing a small increase in price and then retail FOMOd in.

See also the graph on the next page that show short interest dropping from over 100% to around 20%.
Here in New York Andrew Cuomo spent the last decade closing hospitals and reducing hospital capacity at the behest of HMOs, for-profit hospitals, health insurance companies and associated banks and Wall Street investors. It is expensive to maintain hospitals and have enough spare hospital capacity in case of a crisis, and officials at the state and federal level chose profits over capacity.

For the last 2 years, these same officials have telling us that we have no choice but to give up our freedoms, civil liberties and bodily autonomy because there aren't enough hospital beds. This was a manufactured crisis (even beyond the likely manufacturing of the virus in a CDC-funded Wuhan lab).

1975:
U.S. population: 219 million
Hospital beds: 1,465,828
Ratio: 1 bed per 149 people

2019:
U.S. population: 334 million
Hospital beds: 919,559

Well, you are right that conservatives are hypocritical about it, but why should that excuse the behavior of their opposition which has much more grasp on large tech companies that provide platforms for content.
I have showdead on so i can see those posts :)

If you want to be not rate limited, you'll have to contact HN. They will fix it for you, but not if you continue past behavior.

Since that's probably what got you rate limited in the first place.

Obviously complaining about moderation while doing unwanted behavior ( and eg. using other accounts to circumvent) and trying to post here and blame it as a community concern will not help you.
I have yet to find a better monitor than the Dell U3011, which is essentially the same unit as my previous 3008WFP (which itself there was a 3007wfp before it), which means it's a design that's been available approaching 15 years.

I run the numbers on all the Ultrawide, 4K, whatever hotness and I end up knowing I'll fit less vertical lines on the screen.
What do you mean "have everything in a single container"? Many users want to view or manage some files in a folder, and then delete the app shortly after. It doesn't get easier than dropping a single file, and then deleting it afterwards.
I know this is irrelevant for most people on here I pick Viktor Frankl's 'Man's Search for Meaning'. I started having thoughts of ending myself for the past two, three years and this book really helps my brain get out of that mental state. It's a very short book than can be read in an afternoon.

Very one-sided and superficial, for sure.

> Only when the democratic process of discussion and negotiation fails does a person have to step in and make a decision. ...or at least force the discussion onto the relevant subjects.

One important tool to help the team come to the "right" decision for a project is to provide a vision and associated goals that can be used as a yardstick to evaluate the benefits of each alternative. The "debate" should flow into the same direction.
After quickly looking this up, it looks like this automatically sent the money to a supplied credit card. There is no part here that actually needs a blockchain or smart contracts, it's just automated evaluation of the insurance claims. The "smart contract" can't force AXA to pay money to your credit card, so it's entirely superfluous here. You could implement the same thing witout a blockchain or a smart contract.

I'd toss in St Augustine as well, at least Confessions. You can't properly understand western thought without understanding the catholic church, and you can't understand the church from the bible alone.

Maybe Cicero too, like De Officiis at least (although De Natura Deorum is a more enjoyable read imo). Cicero was a second rate philosopher and incredibly full of himself, but he was extremely influential for a very long time.
Thank you for this post, it strongly resonates with me. I recently went through the breaking point you were talking about.

I think experiencing both disillusionment in being someone special, and realisation of the freedom to choose what I want to do myself while recognising and deliberately taking responsibilities that define my boundaries were a big step forward in my life.

What helped you to pass through this change? Any books, teachings, meditation, etc?
How do you feel about php7+ ? There were some serious changes.

Because most of them are driving.
It suggests a system design philosophy problem. A system that continuously goes into a erroneous state instead of a safe state (turn off automatically and rely on manual trim) is designed badly. It couldn't be designed better, because cooperate added the requirement to remain within the flight model of the 737 at all cost.

Nobody is blaming the engineers for this.
But it is, by design, a bad system, that can by attrition defeat human decisions.

Exactly, its not like there is a fundamental problem with iOS that makes it difficult to implement, they use that feature for schools too.

That is not exactly true, you can tweak composer to put dependencies anywhere you want them. What I feel is that there is a minor inconvenience, as many other languages have, and you try to build a case to bring down a whole ecosystem.

Once you have copyright there no longer is a free market economy. In a true free market economy, anyone who has a copy would be free to distribute those missing episodes and could do so easily since the price of making additional copies is effectively zero. In a reality with copyright your argument needs to take into account the purpose of why there is copyright in the first place. In the US the original purpose of copyright was to incentivize the creation of content and locking up content goes against that.

Because at every price point other than $100 throw away/kids tablets they are the best option.

Even the cheapest iPad runs like and feels like a premium product.

You get years of software support, apps do just work and battery life is great.

The last Android tablet I had was a 2015 or 14 Samsung Note 10.1 it was awesome for the time but it only received updates for like a year and despite the pen and the rest it never felt more than a large and within 6 months laggy phone.

I don’t know if Android is better now but back then they had no fucking idea what to do with tablets.

You could download an app and you would have no idea if and how it would run, this is something I’ve never experienced with an iPad.
You should also have a look to api-platform (https://api-platform.com/), it's based on Symfony and you can create Rest or GraphQL APIs with ease.

That's why using package sets (or whatever you want to call them) is a necessity with such packages like crates. The set of 'most important' (whatever that means ;) packages in versions that are _tested_ to work together. So that you do not end with broken dependencies like needing package A in a version <d and >d at the same time. Haskell 'does' this with their LTS and nightly package sets:

https://www.stackage.org/snapshots

Without such a curated set of packages I've eventually run into unresolvable dependencies with ever package manager and language used by me.
