Biggest flaw of php to me is getting paid well and the number of jobs.

From the stack overflow dev survey, php devs get paid much less than others.

Laravel and php is a beast, super easy to use. All that annoying shit is setup for you. But, how many ppl hire Laravel devs? Job boards are stacked with react, vue etc. Personal use is great though.
35 points and nobody commented on whether this is useful? I'm unable to judge but would love to know.
I think this hits the nail right on the head, and it's the same criticism I have of and article itself: the framing is that you split up a database or use small vms or containers for performance reasons, but that's not the primary reason these things are useful; they are useful for people scaling first and foremost, and for technical scaling only secondarily.

The tragedy of the commons with one big shared database is real and paralyzing. Teams not having the flexibility to evolve their own schemas because they have no idea who depends on them in the giant shared schema is paralyzing. Defining service boundaries and APIs with clarity around backwards compatibility is a good solution. Sometimes this is taken too far, into services that are too small, but the service boundaries and explicit APIs are nonetheless good, mostly for people scaling.
GitHub made a huge fuss in a blog post about their compliance with the ePrivacy directive not more than 2 years ago. I personally found their approach and interpretation interesting and unique, so this change seems noteworthy for that reason alone

* Drift between terresterial and sidereal time,

* Drift between terresterial ground level (1G gravity mean 'surface') and orbiting satellite (eg: GPS time)

* Differing frames of time reference best suited for different tasks.

Common computer time server synced time is based on the nominal notion of "mean noontime" UTC .. or the rotation time of the earth to move from Greenwich "pointing at the sun" to again "point at the sun" (perhaps surprising to some NOT a full "360 degree" rotation as the earth has moved forward on its orbit).

Myths about time that programmers should know is a good read .. eventually drift between systems must be addressed ( GPS sats use "epoch time" (local atomic clock ticks) lapsed "per week" and GPS recievers reconcile relativistic drift using broadcast corrections ).

Any significant scientific data collection program (geophysics, astronomy) required the use of some form of "epoch time" with accurate local clocks not synced to UT | GMT | Zulu time servers.

Your apparent desire to not deal with adjustments on the order of a second during your lifetime is simply pushing the problem down the road until it's a case of reconciling hours .. or even 11 days (as has already happened in history).
I guess but that brings to next point, varying approaches to this problem in the wild, and since all are valid, codebases seem to have all of them.
The nuisance is an intentional choice by the bad actors in marketing to make you mad about the banner instead of their business practices of tracking you everywhere.

as a bodybuilder for 20 years, i completely agree with you. working out at home has never had the same appeal to me or anyone else i knew who worked out as going to a gym. i got a peloton during covid isolation and it simply wasn't the same. i went to the gym the first day it opened and so did every other regular. i knew peloton wasn't going to continue thriving, however i do have to say they have very quality equipment so they'll probably continue to do okay.
Yes. At most they should have levied a tax on them in relation to their (alleged) impact. Outright bans are seldom as economically efficient as an appropriate tax.

Or just make it part of a general carbon tax.

I need gas to drive to work. Therefore, the ultimate ceiling on the value of a tank of gas is about as much as I make at work in a week. I can't just go to a different gas station; they all set their prices within a nickel or two per gallon. This isn't a free market by any means, people must pay for gas or immediately go broke.

> I think the current ML world will have an overfitting reckoning.

It seems like current ML (at least large-language models and transformers) will actually run out of publicly-accessible data to train on - the current models have scraped the majority of the useful text and image data on the public Internet, and it's not clear that we'll gain access to orders of magnitude more data, which according to the Chinchilla paper is the bottleneck on transformer performance: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32321522

The dirty little secret is that the country's GDP depends on expensive healthcare. Imagine if something overnight dramatically cut spending and the knock-on effects for drug companies, healthcare providers, etc. losing massive amounts of profit, having down quarters, and their stocks tanking (which also tank all the mutual funds and retirement accounts that see them as dependable and good investments). It's an insane house of cards we have built up and expensive healthcare is a sick 'feature' not a bug of America today.

All of this was kind of laid out with the push for Obamacare and refusal to consider Medicare for all. It was a clear decision by Congress that the status quo of the healthcare industry being a huge part of the American economy would be solidified in law. Anything that tries to rock the boat or change that is going to be facing extreme resistance at all levels from the political and financial elite.

> I cite and highlight the sentence from that page: "Proceeding from the right of a nation to self-determination in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other international legal documents, and Implementing the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic solemnly declares [...]"
When the document says "implementing the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine", it references all chapters from that document (July 1990), with no exception, including the Chapter IX that mentions non-nuclear and non-military bloc principles. Simply put, the document declares the official beginning of implementation of the chapters under a new sovereign state.

Can you link to the document that you claim states this?. It’s annoying to have to chase your references to things you claim exist.

> The US hearings on the event of 6th January 2021 call the thing "a coup" and "attack on the Capitol" [1]. By the same standard of the allied country, the events in Ukraine in 2014 should be identified as a coup too. And it was armed, violent, and successful too. One doesn't need to be a Pro Russian troll to discern patterns of the two similar events and the level of double-standards at play.

The difference is not double standards it’s the meaning of the word. In Ukraine power changed hands because of a vote in parliament, in the USA the people trying to coup the government where looking to subvert the government with violence and install their own leader.

> against the will of which people? How exactly do people of Eastern Ukraine fit into your narrative of the will of the people being heard during the coup, if citizens of Mariupol lost their right to representation by their elected president that didn't break the law and wasn't impeached in the first place? The chosen means to "get people heard" do not look particularly democratic to my taste. Due Process was invented for a reason, and it seems that the modern Ukrainian political tradition is not aware of it.

Ukraine wanted to join the EU this was already decided; Putin decided this would make Russia weaker so got his puppet to subvert that choice, which lead to him being over thrown.

If that's not the case, then stop offending people you disagree with.

Do you think ads have gotten better or worse over time?

I think it's unequivocally worse now than it was then. There's a point where you're fed up with seeing the same ads for products you don't want or need.

I was thinking the same. The way you motivate the private sector to hurry up and fix the energy crisis is to tell them there's bumper profits to be made. This money goes to renewables providers too, and in the long run, high fossil fuel prices may be the best thing to happen for energy on the continent.

An autopsy carried out after he died found he had a distended inner ear, which developed lesions over time.

One ear. So, probably part of the story, but total loss would suggest he needed both, or some other underlying problem which autopsy of the time could not recognize. Unless I over-read that it was one, it could be the neutral statement to both auditory processes.

By the time he went catastrophically deaf, he probably had a rich interior model of the soundscape he was seeking but the comment about the pitch dropping over the life of his compositions suggests the vibration thing (pencil in teeth, or on jaw or other headbones) was dominating how he explored the music he was writing.
Civil timekeeping accepts error vs solar time of up to half an hour as table stakes, and routinely raises that by an hour or more. Leap seconds account for half a minute over half a century.

You can get a legislature to change your time zone faster than the problem leap seconds purport to solve can become relevant.
Same problem occurs for consulting companies as well. You may get a big company, but they would exhaust all your time and attention, demanding changes that only benefit them.

Keep in mind that in Haskell all operators can be defined in user-level code.

They can also be shadowed by your own code.

If you don't like `<>`, you can also easily make your own function and use that instead:

my_function a b = a <*> b

I agree that (infix) operator syntax can make some code hard to read, but it can also make some code easier to read. I do feel strongly that allowing people to make up new operators is preferable to undisciplined overloading of existing operators:

Eg in Haskell when you see `<>` at least you know that something unusual might be going on. In C++, when you see `>>` (or even `+`) you have no clue whether it's just plain old bit-shifting, or whether someone overloaded it to do IO or perhaps launch the missiles.

Community sentiment means almost as much as technical facts. PHP might be just as capable as Ruby, but the vast majority of devs, especially experienced ones, do not like it, will not suggest it, and will not apply for companies which use it.

You can’t impose penalties for free and open source projects though. Well, you can, but that results in much fewer open source projects being ever developed.

Hack does have a lot of great features (some of which have already been ported to PHP, others are kinda impossible for technical reasons), but at this point, it's diverged so hard from PHP that they're separate languages.

If you choose Hack, you lose the entire PHP ecosystem (composer) that could back you up and save you time. The only ones really using it are Facebook/Meta, so it would be a mistake to choose it for a new project, IMO. It doesn't really have a future.
Slippery slope. First it's cookies for marketing, then it's selling your data, then it's "sponsored" repositories showing up in search. Next thing you know, recruiters are cold-calling you with your private email address and you can't even get to your own README without scrolling past banner ads and autoplay videos. After all, that's pretty much how the rest of the web works.

Do I really think that's going to happen? No. If GitHub were to introduce ads or invasive marketing everyone would move to GitLab in a second. A decent amount of people are already moving to GitLab and GitHub hasn't even done anything! Things like marketing cookies for analytics on marketing pages are genuinely not an issue.

But people take it as a sign, because of all the shit that goes on the rest of the web, and how GitHub explicitly said they were not going to do this. The fact they made a "commitment" not to do this is particularly important because it shows that GitHub's promises don't mean anything.

But migrating your repo is easy. Personally I'm going to wait until things actually get bad before moving.

Some roles at my current gig for sure does, but most do not. Tons of space for people with general experience in a very broad set of software skills - machine learning, general “backend dev”, apps devs, embedded devs.

There’s a lot of pairing people with general “here’s how you ship software” background and people with “here’s how the grid works” experience, doing skills transfer.

Part of the effort here ends up being training a whole cadre of people on how the grid works.

My email is in my profile if you want help trying to find gigs in US or EU in this space.
> Meat can be considered a byproduct of an immensely useful material that lasts indefinitely, has been harnessed by possibly every culture to exist and has uses that every person requires.

Meat is the flesh of sentient living beings with feelings and their own rich internal lives. Their bodies do not belong to us to strip for parts as we see fit. Though people throughout history have often eaten meat, there have also been many cultures that do not (about half of India is vegetarian for example). In the developed world, our factory farms have become brutal inhumane places of horrors with no connection to the indigenous uses of animals you reference.

> has uses that every person requires.

In the developed world it is false to say that every person requires animal products, as we surely don't. Most people can thrive on a plant based diet, no need to destroy the lives of thinking beings for their meals or shoes.
There are no laws in Australia requiring cookie banners, and yet I get hit with them constantly. So the law is clearly not the reason for these annoying banners.

> Because that's the point of classification - we want to distinguish between case A and case B.

Right — but why?

What is useful about that classification if the two types of particles emerge the same way, as holes within a substrate?

What do we gain in “composite” vs “quasi”?

> No, there is no cold aether, and protons are not holes in anything.

There is — we can measure vacuum energy as existing. We can also measure spacetime as existing, directly. We know there’s an aether.

> Proton mass comes from the confinement of its constituent parts. […] Flux tubes are just shapes of magnetic fields.

Flux tubes are the region where the connection between quarks suppresses the fuzz from vacuum energy. That’s where the non-quark mass comes from. (As you call it, confinement.)
