There's a dangerous line of thinking around "my business isn't producing revenue because I'm not full-time focused on it." I've fallen into this trap and learned the hard way that full-time focus was not the issue.

You have a team for in-house mobile apps, but you don't have any revenue. Why is that? How will you fix it?
At this point wouldn’t it be easier to artificially select for traits that make the chicken mind more tolerant of poor conditions? Like if we can have consciousless chicken then it wouldn’t matter the condition they grow under?
All of those variables are global, there's no way to establish an interface between the caller and the callee without using functions. You could certainly have a shared understanding of what variables have been injected into a global, but this is awkward, and requires you to do cleanup after each template instantiation to avoid leaking values between templates, which can cause subtle bugs.

> Remember include() literally just included the code right there, inline, so you could include in functions and gain the function's scope:

I've talked about this approach elsewhere in thread, it is not nestable without building a way to "call" templates on top of require/include, and when you do that you'll need to undefined the render function to do it as well, which creates additional complexity. At that point, the original premise of just using raw PHP isn't very true, because you are now building a framework or templating system around it.

Also, you have to contend with the magic "render" function not being globally defined by something. It's messy.

I agree with the author completley. And Spotify is just one of the practically all mainstream black pattern conglomerates ruining a nice idea and the entertainment with pushy and greedy selfish rhetorics, useless for me, driving me away. When you have little chance finding content you care about, when there is severly limited navigation with no reliable structure but secretive algorithms push mostly garbage or hype into your face and the 'improvement' of the UI is more like serving the companies need, sacrifying usability for you, then I better get back to the stone age of content access (end of '90, beginning of '00, others call it golden years actually), put in the effort building my own entertainment for the sake of own enjoyment rather than swallowing what they cook for me with secret ingredients, satisfying only those arrogant folks cooking it.

I built a home music server and a good HiFi system using Raspberry's and files (actually the immediate reson leaving Spotify was their stubborn unwillingness introducing HiFi quality after years and years of empty promises but degrading UI meanwhile, putting effort into that and other never missed rotted deliveries). With fairly basic player with its own annoyances, but at least those are unpolished incompleteness not intentionally forced through destruction of good old functionality along stupid self serving hollow sounding strategy, appearances instead of essence. Now there are no disappearing favourite songs anymore, re-learning behaviour of the software at each update annoyed out of me, no more feeling that I am for the software and not the software for me. I am more satisfied now.

Movie/TV streaming, watch on 'demand' (HAHH! more like watch on shoving it down your throat!) TV apps, music streaming, but I could count here all social media with their opaque and orderless presentation of not finding those I need but getting what other push at me kind of operation that repelled me enough not to get involved with them in the first place (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube after a while, and a lot more newer that is not considered stone age stuff by modern folks riding the trend like Texans ride bulls), most news sites or simply manufacturer web too that is not for informing you but to shove their whatever down your throat with force. I do not need that, thank you, try the others. It is a much better feeling to settle myself into a quiet but cosy corner of the Internet (HN included) than consuming what is poured at us.
I'm always a little skeptical of general purpose search solutions. The hard part about search is ranking and relevance. BM25 and ANN similarity are great algorithms for sourcing documents, but without a ranking step the user is left to scroll through a lot of potentially relevant results that aren't sorted very well.

> So one thing you could say is, well, every generation says that there were less strikeouts in third day. But there's actually data on this and..... it's true! Almost every decade, from the 1800s through every decade of the 1900s through now, strikeouts really have been going up year to year. And so that intergenerational commentary, well, it's describing a real thing that really is happening.

I agree with the factual observations in your post, but there's an additional bit here, and that there's qualitative value being assigned to what The Youths don't mind and The Olds protest. In baseball, the guys who strike out a lot but hit a ton of home runs create more runs, and therefore create more wins, than most base-hit machines (obvious outliers exist, but you get the idea). On my computer, VS Code does more things that benefit me than vim does (and the outlier here, I guess, would be "a lovingly crafted vim monstrosity that uses all the LSPs etc. designed for VS Code et al in the first place"--doable but not the happy path, etc.).

There's also (and IMO this is more in code than baseball) some kind of bizarre moral valence assigned, and that I don't even pretend to understand, but that's a different story.
The fact that seemingly smart people think consciousness is a special human phenomenon and act condescending around people who don't share their viewpoint is sad.

yep, I know that, and originally had an entirely separate repo on GitHub for the Japanese version, but I tried to consolidate to just one for simplicity.

A cheap USB drive sells for under $10 and you can seal a book in plastic so I'd imagine it'd be feasible to just add the $5-$10 to the price of the book. People who buy books, especially programming books, generally aren't very price sensitive anyway.

In my render() example, isn't that "reaching the end of the function"? (Edit: Wait, you're only talking about the superglobals, right?)
>To combat this, grocery retailers in Europe, such as Aldi, Tesco and Lidl, have coin locks

Where I lived, decades ago one store tried this. They ended up folding because no one wanted to deal with inserting coins, why:

1. What if you had no coins ? Most people in the US dump all coins in a big jar when the get home. I would guess back then, about 30% of the people never carried coins, so the chain instantly lost some market share. Now it is more like 90%.

2. These days, just about everyone under 35 do not carry cash, never mind coins. Back then, this was not too much an issue.

3. At the time, homeless people would cruse the parking log, breaking the device to get the coin. The store would have to replace the devices often.

FWIW, where I buy food, I would sat only 10% or less carriages have issues. Years ago it was much higher but I guess the chain does something different that other chains.

> it was a special behavior only implemented for Linux, it was not consistent with Firefox on other OSes, and with other browsers on Linux itself.

So GTK text fields behave a certain way on the entire platform (Linux). Other browsers choose to implement a behavior that is totally inconsistent with the rest of the platform. As far as I am concerned, Firefox was the only browser that implemented this correctly. Do you truly personally believe the right move here was to match the beahvior of other browsers, who themselves are incorrect by not respecting platform conventions?

Don't fix something that isn't broken.

I can hardly see how "having more code means it makes it harder for me to maintain" is a legitimate argument. This argument makes no sense. Delete the entire URL bar then. The URL bar requires lots of code and is hard to write unit tests for. (/s) 1. Mozilla engineers are literally paid to maintain the browser, 2. not wanting to update unit tests to deal with a pref is pure laziness, no excuse.

> I take issue with this because it's kind of neither here nor there.

So people here are complaining about how Spotify does not pay the people who create music enough.

And there exists a zero friction option to pay the people who create music.

But people don’t want to use the zero friction option to pay the people who create music because it would cost $1 or $2 per song.

So yeah. My opinion? People are just really cheap, and what they want is to spend as little as possible on music, but at the same time feel good about it by blaming someone else for not paying the music creators more.

You want the people who create your music to be paid more? Go to their website, and buy it. Life does not get much easier.
Math textbooks are fairly static objects, their experience is probably very simple, probably similar to what it feels like to be a corpse. A GPU computing a LLM is very dynamic, it probably has a much more rich internal experience.

> I would argue that pain, like any interpretation of sensory input, are believes. "experience of a feeling" is equal to interpreting sensory input in a certain way.

In other words: "Pain isn't real"? Are you serious?

Again, is there any reliable source for that other than a whole book that probably doesn't even talk about what you claim? If it is in the book, can you give a detailed reference where to find it? And if so, does the book provide references to research underpinning those claims?

Or did you just come up with that on your own? It sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. Any attempt to "model" the experience is prone to fail by lack of evidence because pain is, by definition, subjective.

If you just search for the definitions of belief, emotion and pain, you will quickly find that their meanings are distinct. Claiming that pain is a belief is absurd.

Yes and no.

Western Europe's economic, tax, regulatory, and social welfare systems are a positive and negative, depending on who you ask.

Compared to the US, only a small segment of the population is either very poor or very rich. Everyone is basically lower- to upper-middle class.

But there's a price to that large safety net. The above policies create a disincentive to innovate and build wealth - the reason behind the stagnant you mentioned.

America: the sky is the limit.
Western Europe: lower-middle class is the ground floor.

When I worked at Malta 5y ago, that parking lot was too small. If you didn't get in at an early hour, you were parking in the gravel lots that are off this picture to the right.

Combine that with the actual size of the Fab, hella lot of walking :)

As for solar panels, the Fab operates 24/7/364 (usually 1 downtime day a year). Which means even with the large amounts of snow that will build-up in the winter, there are always cars in the lot - clearing that is a big job and not sure how to do it with solar panels.
It doesn't seem to me to be about fairness or unfairness; it's teaching. Students didn't have to prepare a second draft, illuminated by the teacher's comprehensive remarks; but it would have been stupid not to seize that opportunity to learn.

He's marking the first drafts down to emphasize the importance of paying close attention to his remarks. And "paying close attention" to the teacher's remarks on an essay really means rewriting it.

These students aren't being bullied; quite the opposite, they are receiving individual care and attention from a dedicated teacher. If only all teachers handled essays in this way.
Sugar is the hardest addiction and one of the most frustrating of my life. It is upsetting to walk through grocery stores, knowing what I'll find on the labels of 80% of the goods inside, brightly labeled, at eye height. It's triggering.

It ruins my skin, spikes my insulin, and has more of a tag-on compounding effect than cannabis, nitrous, alcohol, caffeine or nicotine. If I over indulge sugar two days in a row, it's over. I will have spikes and intense hunger pains, and it will take days of re-regulating to get back to not needing regular spikes of insulin to keep sane. Maybe this is partially related to having previously been overweight, not sure.

It's a drug, and my world has changed as I've changed my relationship with food as a result of religiously reading labels. Also, it's just a war. It's a handful of processed food producers who direct benefit from addicted unhealthy consumers, who have normalized garbage in our diets. I'm tired of being their rube.

The core idea of your post is "moral hazard"[0], which describes a state where you are divorced from the consequence of your decision. Your idea also uses the intuition that the risk of moral hazard grows quickly with the scale of human endeavor, and reaches ~1 at a certain size. Moral hazard encompasses both the harm you do to others directly, as with missing or malicious support, and the indirect harm you do, as with externalities like pollution or depressing a local economy.

I personally think your intuition is obviously correct.

Moral hazard disconnects the social corrective circuitry present in small human groups like families or villages, but it also enables the creation and accumulation of vast wealth. This problem is known in philosophical circles as "The Problem of Dirty Hands"[1].

The people on the right at that time (UK 1966) didn't hang as they were of an effectively protected capitalist caste with no regulation to hold them to account.

If you scroll down the wiki link you can see that the changes to the Mines and Quarries Act ultimately lead to things such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act (1974) which provided some teeth with which to bite the owners that cut corners, paid off inspectors, etc.

Swings and roundabouts though, a little while later came the Miners' Strike of 1984-1985 which was easily one of the most bitter industrial disputes Britain has ever seen.

a turning point in British history. Miners left their pits to fight the attempt of the Thatcher government to close the collieries, break the miners’ union and the labour movement in general, and open the way to a free market economy in which deregulated financial capitalism would be set free by the Big Bang of 1986. The full force of the police, the courts and the media were mobilised to defeat the miners, culminating with the battle of Orgreave on 18 June 1984. Thousands of miners were arrested, fined, imprisoned or sacked, some never to work again.
