It's like that with every framework: Laravel, Rails, Django, you name it.

If you build a class of thing which the framework creators had in mind, and do not have a need to deviate from the prescribed ways, it's a force multiplier.

Once you try to build something that does not fit the confines of the framework, it's of course possible, but the framework stops helping you, and after some time becomes more of an impediment instead.

Hmm, that assumption or expectation can be very disappointing. Perhaps that is a part of why you feel so negatively about Librem? I would assume that most companies of that size have some sort of financial concerns, challenges or problems in the near to mid future.

Do they publish financial statements to their investors or prospective investors? Perhaps it would be useful to ask for those and see for yourself. If they mislead investors through not providing statements or playing games with the numbers, then you have evidence (!) — something that would strengthen your article a lot.
Your response here feels unkind and combative
"Because it works now" is a perfectly good reason, I was more talking about a hypothetical "wave a wand and change all devices overnight" scenario.

I think an IPv8(Apparently we skip odd numbers) could be a real practical thing one day though, because a lot of things really do with quite work that well. The classic "it's always DNS" meme seems to be very real, tying TLS to domains instead of IPs impedes anything on LAN, IPv6 has too much inconsistency in how many bits are allocated to customers, and would be much saner with a more structured ISP/Region/Subnet/DeviceChosenIDThatIsTheSameEvenIfYouChangeISPs scheme so every ISP got the same number of bits.

Insecure DNS doesn't need to exist outside of MDNS, and even MDNS could at least have pairing prompts, if all records are signed and everything is secured at the IP level(Embedding key hashes in the IP), then certificate authorities don't need to exist either.

MACs don't really need to be a thing either outside industrial niche stuff, if we mostly just do IP traffic, that extra framing and the lookup/translation layer can go away.

Some level of onion routing could probably just be built right into IP itself, there's not much reason an ISP or even the local wifi router needs to know the destination I'm sending a packet to, if there's a fixed heirarchal structure, it just needs to know the recipients ISP, and the rest could potentially be encrypted at the cost of some negotiation setup complexity.

We were talking about predicting IQ. Now you're talking about predicting 'success' (which you assumed equates to wealth/education - funny, that).

It's not surprising that wealth/education predicts wealth/education, but that's not what we're talking about.

Also it may be intelligence predicting education even better than wealth:

Developer advocacy is such a weird thing, do it right and people will line up for you to mentor them and pay you for it, do it wrong and you will people scratching their heads asking "so you can do with this thing what you could do with Perl + CGI 15-20 years ago and still not get more performance out of it?".

Sadly this article is the latter.

I'm working on both sides of the fence -- dynamic strongly typed language (Elixir) and static strongly typed languages (Golang, Rust) -- so I am already sold on the advantages of dynamic languages. That page is doing a poor job selling PHP to me though, f.ex. it's not clear when you do `$request->user->orders`, does that automatically go to the DB? Does it first fetch the user and then all their orders, or does it do it in one go? Is the whole thing prone to N+1 queries like Rails is (was? no clue about it nowadays)?

Posting cute little coding snippets is skipping 99% of the story. The code must remain small and simple and understandable and easy to dissect / troubleshoot, long-term, and allow for adding metrics / telemetry, analytics and such.

So OK, we get it, you're so hyped about PHP that you made a website about it. Alright. Now do a cookbook. Next show us a 5-year old project and tell us how long does it take to add a feature or fix a bug exactly. Tell us of the issue that took you the longest to troubleshoot -- and why did it take so long.

Before that this is basically a surface-level marketing page that says almost nothing and is not even accentuating the strong sides of your loved technology because what I am seeing here I can clearly remember 5 other languages I've done it successfully with: JS, Golang, Elixir, Rust and Ruby.
They are far overdue for issuing a statement.
Agreed, if genetics didn’t have a factor then it’s like saying you can’t prove a human is smarter than a dog (the difference of course between species stems from genetics - similarly as between humans).

Firstly comparing yourself to a top 1.43e-8% successful person is pointless.

But more importantly, IQ isn't everything, nowhere near, success is somewhat random, but also influence by so very much more - location, environment, economic background, personality, confidence, family, friends, a random person you meet or interaction you have...

You make success by making opportunities for these things to happen.
Very true, but we likely couldn't have that amount of farmland for what we currently just pull out of earth with millions of years of sequestring.. not sure if getting rid of most of the livestock needs would free enough ("Livestock takes up nearly 80% of global agricultural land, yet produces less than 20% of the world's supply of calories").. are there any calculations how many tree farms we'd need besides a huge solar/wind/geothermal mix?

I'm there with ya, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm trying to minimize my JavaScript exposure by using streaming, and it's going well enough with a minimal JavaScript "runtime". However, I still find myself with thorny edge cases like "I need a better date/time picker", "color picker", or a drag and drop calendar planner.

I find myself frustrated with the ecosystem, and I'm debating how large the set of exceptions are to my ideology.

>When is this nonsensical tribalism going to end? Where are all the non-tribal people who are evaluating this stuff on facts and information alone? Why do we hear from the self-disqualifying tribalists?

Remember when anthropogenic global warming denial was mainstream? For MANY MANY years after the scientific evidence was completely undeniable.

Appeals to moderation were everywhere. The media would routinely play deniers with the scientific credentials of a ferret against actual scientists to maintain the appearance of balance and neutrality and claim it was an even debate.

Believers in global warming got filed into a tribe (still are, in many ways) hence they got "instant disqualification" from appeal-to-moderates like yourself who craved the fake balance the media served up.

Those people were almost as bad as the denialists. They werent at all interested in the truth - just some kind of social "balance" or harmony.
Yeah, I was getting 500s for about three minutes before they posted the status update. I guess it's good that they at least update the status page in a timely fashion, but the third day in a row of downtime is not exactly good service.

To work ethic without intelligence: yes I agree. The way I look at it is: Your intelligence puts a ceiling on what types of success you can have, your work ethic determines how far you will go with your chosen path.

Probably not everything, but I believe it could be correlated with testosterone. I'm sure that has a genetic, diet, and environmental component to it. So right away I can say: yes.

We do a lot of work with large datasets. PHP 7&8 are so much better than 5 in terms of memory usage for large datasets.

Its not magic though, and I'm not surprised a compiled executable is many times faster, especially for math heavy stuff. Slow is often "good enough" though and deploying is quite straight forward.

> We are already using less non-renewables each year.

While the UK may be using less non-renewables, they are paying more in total every year for fossil fuels.

Articles like this one (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/09/fossil-f...) shows a rather dark trend.

Some key quotes:
From 2020 to 2021 they (fossil fuels) received an extra £1bn support from the government compared with 2020, a 10.7% increase

In 2021, support for fossil fuel extraction rose by 20% to nearly £2bn.

Using fossil fuels as reserve energy is only getting more and more expensive.

The moyen age had plenty of writing, it's just that most of it was religious writing: hymns and saints' and martyrs' lives, and treatises on the soul and so on. You have most likely seen the beautiful illustrated manuscripts produced by the monks in monasteries all over Europe.

The other thing that I have noticed is that a great deal of the art from the time is wonky and out of proportion. I was recently at the Musée Cluny in Paris and it was really striking how much of the art in there is pretty badly made, as if by very inept creators. La Dame à la licorne stands out in part because it's not that badly made (though mainly because it's an epic multi-piece tapestry that you'll never see the like of anywhere else). I also remember a statue of a saint whose creator was named (I don't remember the name but it was something like "Le maitre de St. Joseph" or perhaps he had the name of a city) and that was obviously head and shoulders above everything else around it in terms of craftsmanship, which had an almost modern quality.

Then I went to the Louvre and I noticed again how the art before and after the middle ages very clearly lacks this shoddy and haphazard quality of European middle ages art. The Greeks in particular practically worshipped proportion, and the Italian masters would not be caught dead painting an unbalanced figure, by the looks of it. But also Egyptians and Assyro-Babylonians, and all the earlier cultures seemed to take well-crafted art pretty seriously (the bad artists were probably flayed alive early on ... brrr).

So something definitely happened in the middle ages that did not do good to art and culture. Whether it had any impact in everyday life, the ability of people to produce food, build houses, etc, I don't know. There's certainly plenty of architecture that's survived from that time, so clearly not everything deteriorated.

Btw, I think it was the same in the Eastern middle ages too. You can see slap-dash ecclesiastical icons in Byzantine churches of the time. And when you visit Ravenna, and see the mosaics in St Vitale (which are from the very early middle ages), it is clear that something was lost in the ensuing years.

Perhaps we're about to sink into a new "dark age" (regardless of how "dark" was the original "dark ages"). Maybe we'll get lucky this time too, and the light will not be forever extinguished.

Huh. Those are my gripes about python, and it would also die without the ecosystem.

Except that python also lies about it.

"You don't need curly braces, indents are enough"

"what do you do when your code is more than 80 chars long?"

"Oh, that's simple. Because Python is simple. You wrap it in a curly brace."

If you have a blank line between two parts of a function, why does this fail when you paste it into the interpreter? Solutions? Oh, that's simple. Just put four spaces on the blank line. Unless your linter doesn't like that, because it means you have a line with trailing spaces.

And I'm not even touching advanced crazyness, such as package management and versions.

Thanks for listening to me complain. I'm going through a difficult transition right now.
What ruined PHP's reputation is people believing the language itself was a sufficient framework and unsafe SQL and escaping practices being the norm, due to naive developers (which PHP has plenty of) thinking the simplest solution (eg concatenating strings and variables into SQL queries vs prepared statements) is always the most correct.

I mean, with PHP you either use a framework or you necessarily end up writing your own ad-hoc, informally specified, bug ridden implementation of one. At least frameworks like Laravel are battle-tested and should at minimum cover the most obvious issues.
This is a bold statement. Can you provide references?

At no point did they say anything remotely related to race. You choose to make it about that.

If you take two people of the same race and one of them happens to have better genetics that lead to them being smarter, they are more likely to grasp the information provided to them and succeed in life.

I’m not going to pretend that there aren’t racist people in the world who believe what you were saying. I won’t pretend that there aren’t massive systematic issues in the western world that lead to non-white people having a harder lot in life.
