> but upgrading private code to conform to PHP 7 and 8 looks a lot like make-work. I wish it shipped with good upgrade tools.

I'm doing this quite often as I maintain some code-bases that have backward compat down to PHP 5.3 as the baseline. So if you're looking for forward compatibility of your PHP 5.6 codebase to 7.x and 8.x (incl. 8.2), its not so much of work.

If you need an upgrade tool, have different PHP versions at hand and load each file on the CLI and PHP will show you the deprecation warnings. It then depends a bit on the code (each()/next()/reset() family undergone some changes if not removals in 8? so you have to replace with some different syntax) but most of the rest is only deprecation warnings that can be overcome with #attributes "annotations" that are just comments prior php 8.

tooling could be better especially if you're running from low versions, thought. but using php on the cli directly brings you quite far and on speed already for most things in my personal experience. git, find and xargs are your friends.

I must have missed it at the time, otherwise I would remember this gem:

Because the point at which this happens depends on the people rather than the topic, it's a mistake to conclude that because a question tends to provoke religious wars, it must have no answer.

Not sure if it depends on people or interests, probably a combination of both, but there's so many of those problems with obvious solutions that are discussed endlessly.
Is massively collaborative mathematics possible? (2009)
I'm a non native, difference of "it's" and "its" is easy. Commas (and other characters like ; : ) are far more difficult.
Not sure how it used to be, but the only braindead implementation like that I’ve seen was AWS.
It actually works like a charm. The lack of adoption certainly isn't due to the 'everything is a file' abstraction layer, more because by the time it had been released to the masses the momentum in Unix / Linux was absolutely massive and super hard to overcome. And they in turn were under fire from Windows and Mac on the desktop, which left only an extremely small niche, one that was too small to be viable.

But if you've ever worked with it then you will be longing for exactly those features forever and wondering why we did not manage to take more of its deep insights forward.

A lot of really good ideas have been slaughtered on the altars of commerce and perceived performance improvements. As a result we are still developing software roughly the same way that we did 50 years ago, a model that wasn't ideal but that was good enough.

Depending on the size and shape of this seal(gasket), you can go one of two paths; (1) use a gasket compound, it comes out liquidish and then sets into a rubber. (2) buy sheet gasket material similar to your gasket, and trace and cut the gasket out. Depending on size the sheet cost could very between a few dollars to like $10-15.
Depends on what you mean by "PC" and "on-chip"; the M1 & M2 from Apple both have CPU / GPU / memory in a single package, though the memory chips are separate dies connected via an interposer.

The downside is obvious: there's no "upgrading" such a thing without replacing the entire CPU.

There are a lot of upsides, though:

* the memory interface can be wiiiiide like on a GPU; anywhere from 128-bits to 512-bits so far

* the memory interface needs less power, because it's only driving signals a couple millimeters instead of across a PCB to DIMMs.

> Most men die before they even reach 80.

Surprisingly, this isn’t true. It is true in the US that male life expectancy at birth is less than 80 years, but that doesn’t actually mean that more than 50% of men die before 80. The reason is because the death age is being averaged, it’s a mean not a median, and it falls off faster above 80 than below, so when you average them it’s below 80. Think about it this way: for the average age of death to be 80, you could have as many people dying at 1 year old as dying at 159 years old (80*2-1). Then the average is 80. But since nobody makes it to 159, the actual average is 1. Repeat for every pair of ages that sum to 160; only ages ~50-80 even have a counterpart between 80 and ~110, so all death under age ~50 skews the average down (and babies skew the average much faster than middle-age people). If 45% of people died at age 20 and 55% of people died at age 90, then life expectancy for someone at birth is 58.5 years, even though most people make it to age 90.

For proof of this, see the Social Security actuarial table: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

Look at the “Number of lives” column, and scroll to the 80 year olds. Notice that more than half are still alive.

On top of all this, remember that life expectancy changes as you get older. Note how the men who make it to age 50 are expected to live to age 80. Men who make it to 80 are expected to live to 88 1/2.

One big point which hasn't been resolved by scrum in many companies. Manual testing - until it's tested by the QA tested you shouldn't mark it done. However, it is very seldom to finish testing and implementing in one take in exactly 2 weeks. Also business analysts, together with QA testers there is virtually no control in most companies what they do and how they do. All the blame is shifted always on developers because they are at the bottom of SDLC chain but business analysts and QA testers take never responsibility for all inaccuracies and omissions of their work.

internal-autonation.com is available right now for $10. autonation.inc is also available. I could generate 100 more like this that would fool most of the American population. Tech workers might be smart enough to avoid them, but the average person wouldn't think twice about these.

For example imagine getting an email from recruiting@internal-autonation.com. Again, I know a tech worker who actually is likely to have purchased a domain might know what is happening here, but most Americans would think this is legit.
Yes, I understand the theory. But you've assumed the very thing I'm questioning: "when the killer product does arrive".

Killer products for particular hyped tech visions frequently don't arrive, at least in the necessary window for a given wave of investment. We don't have jetpacks. There were people who invested in flying cars throughout the 20th century; Are they now "become to dominate leader"? Or look at Motorola's Iridium. Zepplins, wireless power transmission, vacations to the moon. All commonplace in sci-fi, and all things people have invested in. The killer product never arrived.

Facebook is doing this because Mark Zuckerberg wants to remain rich and relevant. But just because his ego can't conceive of his company becoming irrelevant doesn't mean we have to play along.

Well there once was such an idea. That what would have become PHP 6. But then there was the decision to not do that, keep strings binary only and never release PHP 6. Instead we had seen a couple more PHP 5.x releases and the yearly release cycle was introduced (with 5.6 having extended community support [plus one more year]).
I would prefer to have 32 Gb of cheap "slow" 3200 MT/s RAM rather than 4 or 8 Gb of soldered 4300 MT/s LPDDR4 RAM. The increase in speed isn't worth decrease in size.

Also, in cheap laptops soldered RAM often has lower speeds, same as replaceable one.

And if RAM has to be soldered, then the board with CPU, GPU and RAM could be made replaceable so that you can upgrade it later without buying a new device. Obviously, manufacturers don't want that.
The point of PG is that to properly reason about X you have to look at it "from outside".

A mental conditioning fogs judgement. "Identifications" are mental conditionings that make you lose intellectual freedom.

An example from other authors:

> For instance, modern education often does much damage when young students are taught dubious political notions and then enthusiastically push these notions on the rest of us. The pushing seldom convinces others. But as students pound into their mental habits what they are pushing out, the students are often permanently damaged. Educational institutions that create a climate where much of this goes on are, I think, irresponsible. It is important not to thus put one’s brain in chains before one has come anywhere near his full potentiality as a rational person

~~~ Charlie Munger

Edit:

just like the mental process described by PG has a strong taste of Popper's judgement on "Marx Hegel and Freud" - a consolidated cultural idea -, the warning against "identifications" has had quite strong proponents. One of them (indirectly but encompassing) is over 2500 years old and "quite preponderant".

I remember a Norwegian hotel at the airport that had led lights in the window casings and thin curtains that didn't fill the whole window.

Paul Graham predicted the religious wars that produce talking about React and React Native. This includes people that develop using Electron.

You cannot possibly fathom to have a productive conversation with them about less resource-hungry, better-performant alternatives.

It all basically boils down to: "Who are you to tell me I'm wrong if React is what puts food on my table?" which is fine in principle, but blinds them on ways to make their job easier and better in so many ways.

EDIT: Conciseness and style.
When these types of conversations come up, I prefer the phrase “optimize for the receiver” - thinking on how to best be understood versus what is easiest/most convenient for the sender (in the hello case: requiring someone’s attention).

The real life story is pretty sickening: an ~8 hour ordeal starting with the CDP saying "we think you have drugs" and forcibly sending an 18 year old girl to the hospital for an x-ray, in handcuffs, where she is instead invasively strip searched (with the CDP and hospital staff in audience). Nothing is found so they eventually let her go.

The court basically ruled that:

- The CDP did its job "correctly". They just need to think you did something wrong to detain you and force you to accept medical interventions.
- This was the wrong way to sue: the plaintiff must seek state-law tort action against the doctor for malpractice.

Most disturbing to me is considering just is how many people were party to whole affair, and how easily a routine, but ill-fated encounter with authority can go so wrong.

I can only hope that additional legal remediation brought some kind of justice and relief. Maybe this is yet another example of how contorted US law practice can be.

The meals still exist. They're just not free. So they still dont need to spend time thinking about food. And the company is reimbursed for it.

Separation of powers sounds like a joke when all modern liberal democracies are run by parties, not individual persons. It’s, for example, common for senators to become presidents in the US. Yeah, a judge can rule against a politician that appointed them, but (1) did they rule against their party? (2) is it such a high bar that shows an expected level of separation of powers?
This seems to stress a lot of people out. But doesn't stress me out at all. After a bit of thought, I think it's because I turn off notifications for all slack/email type stuff at work. Instead I just habitually check them. If someone really urgently needs me, I'm sure they'll call.
Well I mean, if you can talk to the CEO of the company directly it’s probably a small one and you know to put it bluntly the CEO doesn’t give a shit about your actual title. They only care about what you do and how much you cost. So from their point of view unless you got a substantial raise they got you to stay for free.

Titles are good for your ego and can help you somehow on the job market but further than that they are entirely meaningless. Strive for actual responsibility and money.

If you're in a position where you're swapping out recently used memory then you have specific computing needs (like running VM's) where you should have purchased more memory.

For keeping things open in the background that aren't being actively used, swapping is extremely effective.

I don't see any good reason why background applications should get swapped out by the OS, but background tabs should be handled by a different mechanism.

(And I have no idea what sequential write has to do with anything...? If you're talking about coming back to an old tab, loading it from swap will nearly always be faster than reloading over the internet, no?)
One thing that might help is sparkling water. I grew up with an an unhealthy daily soda habit and eventually kicked it but would still crave a Coke after and couple of weeks.

Actually, Super Mario Bros does have a tutorial - it's baked right into the level design. The opening map was specifically designed to ease the player into the world and expose gameplay elements and mechanics gradually, giving them a chance to learn at their own place. It's not explicitly called as a tutorial - there's not even any text - but it still functions as one.

There is the situation underlying the ‘replication crisis’, that is, you can get away with fraud.

There is also the increasing difficulty of scientific problems driven by the easy problems being already solved which is most acute in physics. Recently there were observations of a quasar that seemed to confirm a theory about how black holes make jets that was proposed in 1980. If you have to wait 40 years to get confirmation of a theory, survival in physics is not a matter of understanding the universe it is a matter of pleasing people.

There is also a general ‘dog eat dog’ culture which I think is most clear in the biomedical world where one hears all kinds of stories like ‘A gave a talk about B, person C in the audience rushed to his office and wrote a paper about topic B to get priority’. Someone who does get established in science is like a musical chairs champion or the winner of Survivor and they are really good at the game of survival, to the point that frames such as ‘merit’ and ‘fairness’ don’t really apply.

I’m certain that many of the survivors are not morally compromised but some of them crack under the pressure.
So we multiplied the price of the ticket to corrupt the whole parliament. But you know what, actually this parliament is made in such a way that there is no need to bribe the majority of the parties. It is enough to have a small blocking or active percentage.

On the other hand, at the European commission, where the real power is, we don't have 14 presidents and there have been corruptions, serious corruptions.

The truth is that there is 14 positions because it was necessary to give empty chairs to all the political parties of the member countries. In Europe, no politician, no matter how many times he or she has been defeated or scandalized, has difficulty finding a job.
