Javadoc I find is excellent, but its firmly in the "Reference"[0] quadrant of documentation. I find it very readable and useful when you know what you're looking for (finding subclasses of Collection, for example). However, Stack Overflow is excellent when you don't know where to start.

OTOH, I'd say language changes/improvements, PSR, the tooling of course (Composer/Packagist, tons of CLI tools), the frameworks (Laravel or Symfony, with CakePHP & CodeIgniter still rocking, also micro-frameworks like Slim/Lumen), the libraries (Symfony components, FriendsOfPHP, thephpleague.com), debugging (PHPStan, Phan, Psalm, PHP Insights), refactoring (PHP CS Fixer, PHP_CodeSniffer, Rector), async/event driven (Open Swoole, ReactPHP).

On Linux, production multi-PHP deployment is dead-simple thanks to the excellent DEB.SURY.ORG (for DEB based distros) and REMI (for RPM based distros) repos. It's also more common to deploy PHP via PHP-FPM and Nginx nowadays. Homebrew does a decent job on macOS too, multi-PHP deployment is also easy when coupled with Nginx/PHP-FPM. For Windows I have no idea but as long as you got XAMPP and MAMP, well :) Lots of Docker based solutions too like LocalWP (not just for WP), Lando, Laragon, DDEV to name a few.

There's also excellent support in editors/IDEs, either by default (in JetBrain's PHPStorm, Nova, KDevelop or Kate Editor) or via plugins for VSCode, Sublime Text, Atom and others.
The difference with this technology are the unlimited possibilities to generate any type of video content with low knowledge barrier and relatively low investment required. The ethical issue is not about how this technology could disrupt the video job market, but how powerful content it can create literally on the fly. I mean, you can tell it's computer generated ... for now.
Of course, but UA had the balls and skills to use the tools effectively was what was very underestimated
> It's a democratizing force.

I'm wondering why the open source community doesn't get this. So many voices were raised against Codex. Now artists against Diffusion models. But the model itself is a distillation of everything we created, it can compactly encode it and recreate it in any shape and form we desire. That means everyone gets to benefit, all skills are available for everyone, all tailored to our needs.
Thank you. I meant to address relevant vs irrelevant tasks (soldering =/= roofing, organic synthesis =/= medical diagnosis or performing procedures), but yours is a good point.

(edit: typo) To bring this back to organic chem as a questionably relevant prereq to med school, there are obviously specialties where chem is more or less relevant. I care very much if my pharmacist and anesthesiologist understand chemistry, and less so if my orthopedic surgeons do. To the extent that performance on an unnecessary task is sufficient to hire, the USMLE is a better gate into practicing than an individual med school course grade, and the MCAT is a better gate into med school than organic chemistry. I'm clearly lost in the sauce, both those gates occur after and include concepts from/building on organic chemistry.

That said, organic chemistry is uniquely known as a gatekeeper to med school, more than biology, physics, math, anatomy, and other prereqs. Why concentrate difficulty and training on that component in particular?
Not sure what you mean. All the current data is painting the picture of companies and factories fleeing China, and moving to US (reshoring, close parity in cost to China in certain states, clean energy act), Mexico (friendshoring, close to consumer), Vietnam (fastest growing, most relocations), India (alternative to Vietnam, huge labor force), Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Eastern Europe...the list goes on and on.
As if prices are going to come down. If the companies who have been making record profits refuse to accept making a little less profit and won't lower prices how long will you have to wait to buy something cheaper.
You are actually very civil. I know people that consider punching everyone in the face after a meeting :)

Even if this were true, do you really think it takes 7,500 employees?! Because apparently thats how many employees they have over there.
They could have data support, I've never actually checked. The wires are pretty thin so I only trust them for charging the lights they came with. I have a bundle of similar looking A to mini or micro B cables of which I know many are charge-only. As long as they're super short I only rely on them being useful for charging.

>The authors expose the firm’s unsavory work with fossil fuel companies, cigarette-makers, opioid distributors, regulatory agencies and autocratic regimes.

So the author "exposes" what McKinsey themselves openly advertise? Who do they think the world's largest companies and governments are!?

As well as that they were hypothetical. Like everyone and every large organization.

This is just a huge nothing.
It just sounds like you agree with my full comment if you read the whole thing? I do know what Observables are. I personally do think they are a useful primitive even without the downstream pipeline libraries (though a good pipeline library is indispensable for getting good work done).

My impression has been that TC-39 has had a harder time being convinced they are a primitive that should be codified at the language level, because they are today mostly wrapped in large user space libraries just fine and don't need direct syntax (such as the relationships between Iterables and Generators and Iterables and for/of; or the relationship between Promises and async/await). Even the DOM disconnect here where I personally would love to see the Primitive more actively used is not entirely TC-39's fault because DOM APIs are on "the other side of the fence" from TC-39 in the WHATWG and W3C working groups.

I'd love to see the Observable proposal move further along. I realize it hasn't because my impression is that it isn't a priority from TC-39's perspective.

Again, I personally disagree with that impression. It's just the impression I'm getting when I read through issues and comments on the proposal.

"By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s."
When people consume less, prices drop. Again, it's the Law of Supply & Demand.

In physics, when momentum is not conserved, I don't have to work through the math to show it is wrong. I know it is wrong. When conservation of energy is denied, I know it is wrong. When someone claims a perpetual motion machine, I know it is wrong.

Analogously, when a theory requires denial of the Law of Supply & Demand, I know it's wrong.

This thread is chock full of weird economic theories of every description. The LoS&D is a wonderful tool to easily diagnose false economic theories.

I suspect that as you approach being entirely dependent on on supplier it goes from being a nice lever for each side to being a noose for one. China doesn't want to lose Apple's business. Apple can't lose China. Extrapolate across many industries.

There's a difference between having a partner and being entirely dependent.

I mean. I was definitely unfamiliar with their "Code of Ethics" [0] until I read it and I cannot say that I'm a tremendous fan. But also, it's the absolute last thing mentioned in the readme, so unless you have additional information that I don't, I don't know why you think that's the main reason they forked, especially when they tell you all the reasons they forked and that isn't really one of them.

One end of the cable changed but I think the point was that the other end, the part that was built into your laptop, didn't.

I still have a stash of USB-B, mini-USB, and micro-USB cables with the USB-A because I've got a printer, a camera, and devices (Kindle, older battery) that use those ports. I have a USB-C -> USB-A hub. In 5-10 years from now, I might have gone all USB-C.
I would say the opposite is true - UML started off as a diagramming tool and then people realized the value wasn't in the diagrams but in the models. Most of the tooling however view UML as a set of standardized diagrams - which is just about worthless.

Anyway, for about the past 15 to 20 years the majority of UML changes have been to the model. As I said, the only tool I know of that's in alignment with modern UML modeling is Enterprise Architect.

OP probably does more than it seems by interpreting what their client is asking for. Clients ask for some weird shit sometimes, and being able to parse the nonsense and get to the meat is where a lot of skill comes into play.

I think Cleo Abrams on YT recently tackled this exact question. She tried to generate art using DALL-E along with a professional artist, and after letting the public vote blindly, the pro artist clearly 'made' better content, even though they were both just typing into a text prompt.

Bit of an apples/oranges comparison to tech that will (eventually) generate endless supply of content with less effort than writing a Tweet.

The era of inventing layers of abstraction and indirection that simplify computer use down to structured data entry is coming to an end. A whole lot of IT jobs are not safe either. Ops is a lot of sending parameters over the wire to APIs for others to compute. Why hire them when “production EKS cluster” can output a TF template?
The scenario the GP outlines is one where Google is the sole licensor of Chromium. They could then build proprietary (or whatever!) versions of that however they liked, since they'd have copyright to the whole thing.

I do think like you, but working in many places at the same time would not be possible in many countries, just because of tax declaration.

But yes, I think it cannot be coincidence all those articles pushing the back to the office, when (at least what I have seen) the productivity has undoubtedly raised.
> Or it's a very good thing for keeping tensions under control with both countries benefiting drastically from keeping the relationship functional.

IMHO, that's a free market myth made "true" through constant repetition. It breaks down if one or more parties stops prioritizing things like a free marketer.

And "keeping tensions under control" could translate to "appease the CCP and give in to its demands." It controls the real (physical) assets, as well as most of the human capital. Its adversaries are democracies, which means they're often far too focused on the people's parochial, short-term whims (e.g. failing to take strategic action because they're afraid of losing votes if those actions make iPhones more expensive).

The CCP has also has the benefit of learning from several of Russia's mistakes. They'll probably force their demands more slowly and persistently, so as to not galvanize their opponents.
Just curious, how do you handle accounts that require medallion verification to open. Do you stamp it yourself? That could be a nice benefit for people that don't have a brick and mortar bank nearby
"We want to avoid structural damage: Lost jobs, bankrupt businesses, lost mortgages, and so on."

I disagree - I think what we need is a constant, low, background level of structural damage - which includes lost jobs and especially bankrupt businesses.

I grow increasingly fond of the forest fire / controlled burns analogy:

We have come to realize that preventing, or extinguishing, every wildland fire causes a dangerous level of fuels to slowly build up, eventually erupting in an unstoppable conflagration that destroys much more than the sum of the fuel overload.

Preventing recessions and keeping business firms afloat that would otherwise fail without easy loan rollover - that's the financial equivalent of refusing to maintain fuel loads with controlled burns.

Eventually the dead fuels (zombie business firms) will overwhelm all firefighting efforts (QE ? Negative interest rates ?) and will take down a much larger portion of the economy than otherwise would have failed along the way ...
That is a very complicated question, but in short:

Russia’s economy is supported by oil. Oil is pretty much the one thing that they’ve still been consistently able to export.

China’s economy is based on exporting lots and lots and lots of manufactured goods. Many of them are essential, but many of them could be banned tomorrow.

At some point I had this idea that this could be stopped by simply charging for phone calls. This concept isn't fully worked out in my mind; in rough strokes, it goes something like this:

Everyone charges $1 to receive a call. You can setup a system whereby anyone in your address book isn't charged or receives a credit immediately.

For those not in your address book, receiving a call-back balances out the transaction. In other words, if your plumber leaves you a message and you call them back, nobody incurs a cost. It is my guess that, on average, for legitimate players, this per-call charge would be minimal. For others it might end-up being a reasonable cost of doing business.

Another method: On a smart phone it would be very easy to display a screen once you hang up with the question "Charge for this call?" and two buttons "Yes" and "No". Simple.

The idea is that garbage calls from marketing operations or scammers who today can make millions of calls for virtually nothing, would now incur real and significant costs.

Like I said, not fully hashed-out. I just think that without a non-trivial cost associated with making millions of calls, they will continue to happen.
Could you sign up for a plan with the carrier it was on and request that number?
The description of this is kind of confusing but I think the easiest way to understand it is that it is a data processing pipeline of sorts. Take unstructured data and apply transformation and computation. A similar project to this is Towhee (https://github.com/towhee-io/towhee). This project tries to simplify unstructured data processing and provides pretrained models and pipelines from their hub.
Agreed; I consider it an elaboration on what personally works for me, not disagreement.
Honestly I don't think you'll get good faith considerations on whether we're heading into a recession. Anecdotally, I'm trying to buy a house in Portland. I stopped being so aggressive as I watched prices start falling by tens of thousands. I got a call from Rocket Mortgage the other day where they tried to convince me that market prices won't change and I should buy now at a rate of 6.5%. This is an incredible departure from reality and similar to what I hear from real estate agents.

This is a company that I know previously to be quite ethical, yet here they are doing dirty tricks. Market falls can be a threat to companies, but by engaging with propaganda trolls can influence the market and make money. Read any mortgage or real estate propaganda and you'll see they're all using the same words, false comparisons, etc. Maybe the true signal of a recession is the defiance of admitting there is a recession.
That kind of divide ultimately falls apart. Over time, things built in dev mode rely more and more on its insecurity and production systems get pushed that way.

This is why development systems need to be as production-like as possible. Otherwise people ship boring webapps that inexplicable rely on running as root in privileged containers and expect prod to enable this.
It depends where you are in the industry.

If you're on the creative, storyboard, come up with ideas and marketing side, you will be fine.

If you're in actual production, booking sets, unfolding stairs to tape infinite background, picking up the best looking fruits in the grocery store... yeah, not looking good.

Go up in the value chain and learn marketing, how to tell stories, etc... you don't want to be approached by clients telling you what you should be doing, you want to be approached and being asked what the clients should be doing.
> The real question is it going to be in time to save us?

From what? Global warming? No, it won't.

If somebody creates commercially viable fusion today, it will still take some 3 to 5 decades until it is common enough to impact our energy generation. And if it is based on breeding Tritium, those 3 to 5 decades are dictated by physics. (But just the ramp-up on constructing those power plants is enough of an issue, no fundamental physics needed.)
