> But the success of PHP comes from the people who like PHP the way it was

I'm sure that was the case for many years, but I believe the successful resurgence of modern PHP is coming from the people who want to see PHP actively improving. Not those who like PHP the way it was!

PHP got a nasty reputation thanks to things like the "Fractal of Bad Design" site. Modern PHP has resolved (effectively) all of those early critiques.

The ongoing success of PHP comes from it continually improving :)
Her ethnicity ? If you don't mind
I only see 19 questions. I guess one could add an "Introduce yourself".
Where did you get your education? Serious question.

Borders have nothing to do with colonialism. There is no human right to move and settle where you please, especially in this day and age where that entitles you to many social services paid for by taxes.

A nation that does not control its borders is no longer a nation. No country on earth behaves that way. Not now, nor in the past.

It's true, Chrome puts your privacy in that sandbox.

Yes, and...

Then ships it to the curious:

The Topics API from Chrome is here, which will share a list of user interests with advertisers when they ask, so advertisers can show relevant ads. The new Android FLEDGE API tracks users' behavior inside an app and throws them into groups for "custom audience targeting."
Welcome to the world, where people who are from the US need to feed their families, and have just as much a right to do so as immigrants do.

See the issue? Just because we accept immigrants and they benefit the economy doesn't mean everyone is magically happy. Do you think the US should support every poor person in the world? Can it?
Why? Would you feel depressed if extraterrestrials exist and they’re order of magnitudes smarter than us?
I asked because as HN doesn't notify users about responses to their comments (right?) it would be more likely that someone else would read my comment and explain it to me, than the original commenter. I was also referencing an old 4chan meme but yeah, in hindsight it's kind of phrased weirdly.
Liberty is an illusion, there is no "paradoxical relationship" between liberty and society.

Every society revolves around the satifaction of basic needs. Food, shelter, goods, medical care, social appriciation. A society that does not provide these basic needs wont be a society for much longer.

We humans _have to engage_ with society! Our cultural evolution made us raise totally inept babies for a couple of years. No other species has this handycap. We have externalized much of our digestion into kitchens/cooking.

If you want to liberate yourself from society, fine, go in the woods and die of tooth decay if you dont mind. If you still feel enslaved, try liberating yourself from oxygen. You cannot escape the physical constrains that shaped everything around -- and including you!

The crypto victims followed this "free yourself" illusion but all they got was a shift into a totally unregulated market with powerful agents acting against them. Which is basically, what they tried to overcome in the first place.

This whole article tries to tackle the question of liberty or sovereignity but does not touch on its hard border. I think crypto libertarians have too many stakes in play to realize their futile attempt.
It’s one of those things you really have no control over. You just argue as persuasively as you can, but end of the day, your boss gets the final decision, and gets to judge your performance. When their brilliant plan fails, they are going to blame you—-not necessarily out of any malice, but just because they are in no epistemic position to realize what just happened.

I actually have a lot of sympathy for management. If I make a mistake as a programmer, it’s just a bug fix and a new unit test. If they make a mistake, someone’s whole life is plunged into crisis. The stakes are way higher AND it’s way harder to make the right call.
Another thing not touched on here - horse cavalry was still a concern before the war! A round being large enough to kill a horse quickly is part of the reason they were so big to begin with.

That is called an investor, since they purchased an investment.
Well, without specific numbers and statistics, it's hard to know if demand for housing are being met.

I'd argue the trend since industrialization has been to standardize on social conventions. In the last decade, I'd further argue this trend is reversing.
That would actually be a hilarious, though totally unethical, journalist "gotcha" to make Dara seem out-of-touch.
This just isn't true. Julia lets you write intrinsics (either LLVM intrinsics or native assembly code) just the same as C. For example, https://github.com/eschnett/SIMD.jl/blob/master/src/LLVM_int....

Most people want to put down roots somewhere; that might be you as well one day. And those people will not want to rent forever, because that puts them at the risk of reno-viction. Imagine having to move every few years, not for a better job, but because your landlord jacked up the rent massively and there aren't any laws preventing them from doing that.
Correct. From the documentation:

These internet connected cars will eventually turn into Westinghouse Radiohubs. [1]

For most people, even those who don't subscribe to the internet requiring service, there is no way to disable it. Especially when the radio device is inaccessible.

On a separate note, I recently got a CPAP machine. It comes with a copy of the terms and conditions that i had to sign and return to the doctor. Before you connect it, you must attach an external radio device.

Luckily, they botched the delivery and the device was 4 months late. Then when they finally sent it, it went to the wrong address. I called and said i never received it, before the neighbors brought my package. That's when i learned that the $1000 device i got was actually a subscription for $50 a month after the insurance contribution. I never plugged the radio device and the machine works just fine.

I paid $1000 for a fan with a tube, but at least I'm not paying for the subscription and never connected the spying component.

A border is much more real and tangible than an electron with its charge. Don't believe me? Try crossing one.
Right, they're saying those wouldn't be counted under the article's methodology.
Yup. My ADHD means I'm never sure just how much battery things have
“The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) report on the welfare and well-being of Australians launched yesterday found that prior to the pandemic, 13% of people aged 18 and over with a job reported working from home most days, according to the ABS Household Impacts of COVID-19 Survey.

By April 2022, 46% of people had worked from home at least once per week in the previous four weeks.”

I hate when articles do things like this. Do not say a temporally relevant data point and follow it up with a “by [future time]” if you’re not going to use the same piece of data. It’s clearly meant to trick unaware readers.

The rest of the article is funny to some degree. It claims that the laws need to be updated to embrace remote work because <bad things happen> if not but then provides a bunch of statistics that could just as easily correlate the opposite way. For example, life satisfaction is down from 2019 (apparently back when employees weren’t working from home). Is this due to remote work? Who knows! Certainly the author of the article doesn’t.
I would usually just upvote you. But I love the term “irrationally benevolent”.

Unlike Amazon that is “irrationally malevolent”. But I knew that going in. I made my money. Learned what I could. Put it on my resume and let it open some doors.

I don’t mean to come off bitter. It was a completely transactional decision to go to AWS and it served its purpose.

IRS Form 1040-EZ was eliminated years ago, but even when it was in existence it was never suitable for the majority of filers. (There is now a more limited "simple" form 1040-SR for "seniors"). Nonetheless this seems to have helped feed the myth that having the IRS auto-prepare a return is simple and will work for many if not most filers -- it turns out that lots of info required by the tax law is not already available to the IRS each year.

Anyway, with tax preparation software and electronic filing, the concept of "tax return pages" isn't very relevant any more.
depends, i find the building part the most fun. once a model is built, it's less interesting. which is partly frustrating. i want to do more than just build a model and put it on a shelf.
Seems overengineered, i agree the list in its current state is a bit awkward to scroll through but I'd just turn it into a 2xN grid sorted alphabetically.
Yeah, you clearly have no idea.
Local laws vary a lot in how much protection they give to renters. Here in the UK I absolutely wouldn't want to be renting, you have very little security and can be (legally) kicked out with a couple of months' notice in most cases. Whereas in Germany it's my understanding that renters essentially can never be kicked out unless they do something egregious, and it's usual for people to choose to rent for life.
It's practically possible to throw the Earth into the sun.

I doubt that there's any economic theory that spends any thought on this "practically possible scenario".

But it's good that questions are raised. Raising questions is always good.

I do wonder what country, besides Japan, will be the first one to 'break' and realize that, when you restrict supply in the face of rising demand, prices rise. The current situation is sustainable for as long as voters keep voting in NIMBY politicians. Something may give, but something may not.

I was in the business for 30 years and I very much agree. Tax prep is a lucrative service because people refuse to read the manual. It is not hard if you can read and follow directions. If you are lucky enough to be more than a wage slave you need a strategy that is being executed all year...that strategy is based on tax code and you will likely have an advisor plotting this all out anyway until you get it down pat.
"If we throw out arbitrary sets of social conventions and call them fake we effectively operate in our own non-shared reality."

No, we all operate in the same reality no matter what. That is kind of what "reality" is - the set of physical facts which obtain regardless of our particular state of mind or coordinate system, local velocity, etc. The idea that we should elevate some subjective opinions to the level of reality that we expect everyone to share is actually really damaging to the idea of truth and objective reality.

No doubt accidentally, you're advocating for a subjective notion of what is real, not an objective one.
I've only just learned of his existence. I have no idea why he would publish something like that.

Perhaps it's part of his process for sorting out what works.

I'm disinclined to draw any conclusion one way or another at this point in time about his work. I lack sufficient information and I'm confident quickly scanning his Twitter feed won't adequately fill in the gaps in my knowledge.
If you read the article, there are already restrictions on purchases. This 30% pertains to people that have taken out a mortgage on a property, when they already have an existing property mortgage. What case is there for restricting that?
That's a false dichotomy. Language models will always confidently give you answers, right or wrong. Most humans will know if they know the answer or not, they can do research to find correct information, and they can go find someone else with more expertise when they are lacking.

And this is my biggest issue with the AI mania right now -- the models don't actually understand the difference between correct or incorrect. They don't actually have a conceptual model of the world in which we live, just a model of word patterns. They're auto complete on steroids which will happily spit out endless amounts of garbage. Once we let these monsters lose with full trust in their output, we're going to start seeing some really catastrophic results. Imagine your insurance company replaces thier claims adjuster with this, or chain stores put them in charge of hiring and firing. We're driving a speeding train right towards a cliff and so many of us are chanting "go faster!"

Another anecdote:

I learn new languages all the time. I make it a personal goal to never let not knowing a language get in the way of what I do.

Rust was one of the easiest I've ever picked up. There is a ton of good information, examples, books, and tooling out there that helps me.

On the other hand I've had to pick up Go several times in the past. It's never stuck. Basically every project I have seen written in it is convoluted and just messed up to read and interact with.

People ALWAYS overstate the effort that Rust takes. There are a lot of spots that you can get messed up on. But not all of us are out here writing code that hits these things. People act like the existence of lifetimes means you have to write them everywhere and think about it. That's not the case for almost any of us.
>I don't think React ever pitched view as a function of state actually. Many in the community latched onto that, and some React-inspired projects tried to make that a thing, but I'm positive that was never the pitch from the core team, in fact very certain of this.

I think the problem is that people have a vote. Most people would like things to stay as it is around where they live. I feel in my country there is not so much tools for NIMBYism as people are not listened to so much. I can support better infrastructure on a city level but can’t really do much if it is decided that the train needs to run over my house.
My last couple of jobs(non tech) almost everyone I talked to on a daily basis was ESL. It was great as an introvert because they could talk around me and about me while I kept to myself. Now Im in tech with all English speakers there's no escape from the slights. Id love to be only a team of ESL people, because now it's like highshcool. The only time they talk to me now is for baiting too cute by half questions and comments.

Yes, I’ve never used Uber. The point is that this is completely separate from whatever agreement you have with whoever’s car you board.
Google has no obligation to be politically neutral. Even if they wanted political neutrality, it’s often an impossible goal to achieve in practice.
There is no "pragmatic" limit. As more people arrive, more jobs are needed to support them, more jobs are made available as a larger pool of workers able to do a wider variety of tasks for wages that allow for corporations to turn a profit. It's a self sustaining cycle.

The general rule here is that unless there's an obvious reason to deny equal people something you've given other people, you shouldn't deny it in the first place.
no you are wrong - there are declared areas of dispute, and then those are also disputed. The world is a big place.

Nothing the OP said made it seem like they were fine pooping in the street. If anything it’s pretty clear they don’t think it’s acceptable. They just don’t think it’s a medical issue. You’re insisting that it is, but you’re not their friend and you’re not a doctor and you don’t have medical training in identifying what is normal and abnormal bowel behavior. That’s being a weirdo because you’re crossing a social line here. Even if you personally think it is, you’re not in a social position where your insistence isn’t incredibly rude.

Several people are telling you to chill out/back off not because it’s acceptable to shit on the street, but because it’s not acceptable to insist on the health status of someone without first establishing either rapport or appropriate relevant knowledge that justifies breaking a social boundary. You have no justification, so your suggest was a little nosey, and your insistence is flagrantly rude.
How did the server side prevent infinite loops?
No, it's meant to determine which people have agreed to the social contract. Citizenship is not some sacred thing you must earn; simply agreeing to give up some freedom is all it takes to benefit from the social programs offered by a government.

The bureaucratic concept of "citizenship" is just a way for people to construct barriers of hate around the benefits offered by a nation while still forcing people to accept the sacrifices.
I think you're wrong: what should Google have done here? Which country should Google take the side of? Arguably it's not ethically better to choose one country's self defined borders over another. Would Google be in the right to decide for themselves what the borders are?

Frankly I think it's very not-evil to show people what they expect to see. If my country adopts a time zone, I expect the times that I see to be in that timezone and not the one some company decided for me. If I look at a map, I want to see boundaries that are relevant. What if Google suggested I go to a place that was actually outside of my country's recognized borders and I couldn't reenter because I didn't bring appropriate documentation?

I guess what I'm saying is there's implicit evil in making a choice of which country to believe because nobody here is inherently right. And even if they did, showing citizens of X things which the people of X do not agree is correct is definitely not serving your users.

Yes, many German and French multi-national companies have English as the official language.

If there is at least one non-local participant in a meeting, or on an email list, then the discourse has to be popped up to English.

This often happens when none of them are native English speakers, e.g. German & Spanish.

There are specific English proficiency tests bound to levels of management - bad English, no promotion.
Agreed, but server frameworks shouldn't easily enable a foot gun that allows bots to have disk access to your host. Instead, only explicitly defined routes or resource files should be available.

If I had to guess, this person committed their .env file in some repo and pushed that up, and that become available because the server was misconfigured.

For other servers (such as, say, Jetty), config files like that won't get exposed like that unless you're very obviously placing your config files in a public resource folder.
This is creating an artificial Tulip bulb crisis where people could live instead of these rent-seeking vampires either letting them idle or renting them on Airbnb.

Doesn't cPanel supported several langauge including NodeJS runtime? I think most projects use composer or PHP packages.

Thanks to cPanel (written in Perl) this make life easier for developers to set up websites and skipped the ceremony but why is cPanel written in Perl instead of PHP?

But Go language has it own security implementations which are more secure and easier to deploy as a static binary. I did tried to write entire Go app using only built-in or some dev use Chi for routing. I didn't have to install Go runtime on VPS that you need for PHP.

Go built-in HTML template is quite secure, rare seen some fix to html/template make it easier to deploy new app, but our website has evolved with Astro web framework that require NodeJS since none of the server side language can solve client-side issues.

The problems with most company-customer interaction, for me, boil down to empowerment and integration.

To use the canonical example of "internet service support call," most issues are because the rep either can't do what you're asking (e.g. process a disconnect without asking for a reason) or because they have no visibility into the thing you're asking about (e.g. technician rolls).

I honestly think we'd be in a better place if companies freed up funding (from contact center worker salary) to work on those problems (enhancing empowerment and systems integration).
