Interested in something similar. Would love to keep a log of locations, especially when travelling, but don’t want Google to be tracking this. A local solution would be awesome.
Symfony? Or is this a case where Laravel has actually built out their own packages for support in these two instances?
You could ask the same questions about that yes, but whataboutism does not answer the questions here.

For Ethiopia it's flagged as humanitarian aid, and likely for Jordan as a result of the neighbouring Syria war.

None of that is arms though, and critically more than the aid, why the legislation?

What justifies making it illegal to stop investing in a country despite it's actions? Surely that's a commercial decision rather than a legislative one?

The Great Conjunction
Israel was expected, under international law, to unconditionally allow aid for the civilians. Israel used it as a bargaining chip, effectively holding civilians hostage.
> For R&D and quick tests it is a very useful language feature to have IMO

Right, but unless you have an ftp server or quick ssh access and PHP isn’t doing any code caching that feature isn’t an advantage, how many developers are in that situation? Is this something you do?

If you’re running locally PHP spawns its own server which other runtimes have. If you’re running this on a server you’re most likely going to have app/code caching (apc Or opcache) switched on so you’ll need to restart the server anyway, in which case it’s not more advantageous than uploading a js file and restarting node.

> For context, this is only possible because the state of Palestine pushed hard and persisted for years to become an ICC member and thus give the ICC jurisdiction over crimes committed on Palestinian territory, whether by Israel or by Palestinian factions. The USA is still mad at them for doing it.

That sounds biased.

Why -shouldn't- Palestine be able to be a member of the ICC? Your verbiage makes it sounds like they basically bullied the ICC into membership.

And frankly, so what if the US is still mad at them for it? The US won't join organizations like this because it'd rather protect people like Kissinger who openly committed war crimes (and wants the freedom to be able to do whatever it wants, wherever, without consequence).
It might have been wise if Netanyahu hadn't propped up Hamas in the interests of keeping the Palestinian Authority from managing Gaza as well as the West Bank.

It might also have been wise for Israel to abandon the policy of settling the West Bank by force.

As you say, it takes two parties with a real interest in peace to achieve a two-state solution. Right now I'm not sure we even have one.
Microsoft accused of Malware-like Bing Wallpaper app
I believe you're right, even though I don't have any evidence except for my own experience.

This issue becomes very clear when you see how many ways there are to express a simple concept like linear regression. I've had the chance to see that for myself in university when I pursued a bunch of classes from different domains.

The fact that introductory statistics (y = a + bx), econometrics (Y = beta_0 + beta_1 * X) and machine learning (theta = epsilon * x, incl. matrix notation) talk about the same formula with quite different notation can definitely be confusing. All of them have their historical or logical reasons for formulating it that way, but I believe it's an unnecessary source of friction.

If we go back to basic maths, I believe it's the same issue. Early in my elementary school, the pedagogical approach was this:
0. only work with numbers until some level
1. introduce the first few letters of the alphabet as variables (a, b, c) - despite no one ever explaining why "variable" and "constant" are nouns all of a sudden
2. abruptly switch to the last letters of the alphabet (x, y, z), two of which don't exist in my native language
3. reintroduce (a,b,c) as sometimes free variables, and sometimes very specific things (e.g., discriminant of a quadratic equation)
4. and so on for greek letters, etc.

It's not something that's too difficult to grasp after some time, but I think it's a waste to introduce this friction to kids when they're also dealing with completely unrelated courses, social problems, biological differences, etc. If you're confused by "why" variables are useful, why does the notation change all the time, and why it sometimes doesn't - and who gets to decide - this never gets resolved.

Not to mention how arbitrarily things are presented, no explanation of how things came to be or why we learn them, and every other problem that schools haven't tackled since my grandparents were kids.
Didn’t read it, just went for the memes. The kinder surprise one is absolute genius!
Ironically, the ones who don't do well at school (inc maths) are the ones who then become trades like builders/plumbers etc or run small businesses like a shop. And so are regularly working with numbers via estimates and billing.
The thing is, a lot of that math by hand is probably not long division, it's Greek style compass and straightedge stuff. There's an absolute ton of things you can do just tracing things out with a stick, and at adequate precision at that.
Pg_karnak: Transactional schema migration across tenant databases
There is a saying that regulations are written in blood. Regulations get written when somebody has been harmed. It takes a long time, because they have to balance a lot of different perspectives. They tend to keep the focus narrow.

Funeral homes had a particular deceptive practice. It harmed enough people that the FTC got involved.

Deceptive subscription practices are also harming people, and the regulation is being developed. But it's no surprise that the FTC didn't just invent it on its own, because that's not how they work.

So we get one and not the other because regulations are developed piecemeal. It would be great if regulators had more freedom to rewrite regulations to remove "code smells", but that's not how it works.

It's why regulators get antsy when people complain about "regulation" as a general ill. The regulations aren't always well designed, and even when they are, things change. But people get the idea that every inconvenience is some kind of conspiracy against them, without even trying to consider why the regulation came about and who still might be harmed by removing it.
I've talked to some people who use Riak as an S3 and reported that their reasoning for sticking to it is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude faster than S3. This blew my mind, but then they showed me 20ms response times from their Riak cluster and 2-second response times from S3. Now, I think these aren't standard, and in my experience, I'd say Riak is more like a single order of magnitude faster.
Shade shouldn't be a problem. In fact, a cover is good because it helps you control the sunlight and rain.

If the pile isn't heating up it's usually either bone dry or there's not enough volume. Aim for at least one cubic meter (or 3x3x3 feet).

If you have fresh grass clippings, add them - they will help a lot. A heap of grass clippings with nothing else will heat up on its own (but don't do it because it will smell).

You can really tell when somebody just repeats motorist propaganda and has never actually looked at the finical structure behind infrastructure.

Your attitude is also deeply sad and cyclical. People wanting to improve the communities they live in is a bad thing. How about the 1000s of people dying every year is not an important topic.

Imagine if there were 1 major commuter trains going into london crashing and killing everybody in the train, and this happened multiple times a year? Would you consider that an important problem?

> there are IMO better causes to champion

Like what?

Transportation, and cycling as part of that has a major influence on climate change, energy consumption, public health, accessibility, retail shopping, community building and much more.

Have ever engaged with that research?
It seems like the profit-driven attitude put us in the ecological situation and maybe it's time to put the environmental impact first.
Not bad! I'm an avid bike camper and I just tried creating a route through Sweden and it does a pretty good job. We are a bit spoilt for choice here with bicycle routes.

The only feature I'd want is to be able to print the route on paper maps. I wonder if print CSS could be used to create pages of the whole route.

I don't disagree with a single thing you wrote... I am still though sticking with my original comment that it is a big misconception that you are better off financially in US vs. EU (I won't mention non-financial things as that would be unfair and not-even-remotely-fair contest between EU and US) working in the US than EU. I think we focus on gross pay (in US people even talk salary BEFORE taxes which is absolute insanity, like "I make $300k - no you don't you make about 1/2 that depending on where you live, in EU when someone tells you then make $200k they mean that is how much money is deposited into their bank that year...) and not in terms of "real earnings" - very few people that make US > EU claims actually do some math...

I agree. I think for largely cultural and timing reasons, and also its success, there are a lot more long-lived php codebases for this to play out in compared to most languages.

I also think possibly node is our generation's php, with it being so fast-changing and there not being a community consensus about framework. So every complex node project is, like pre-laravel php, essentially a totally unique ad-hoc framework composed of a mix of libraries. Ruby and python aren't better languages than php or node, and rails and django aren't perfect, but to a large extent those languages avoid this problem just because everyone is using the same solutions.

Your statement is not backed up by data and simply wishing it should happen isn’t a strong argument.

You probably have a narrow definition of “most people” (probably some motivated high school or undergraduate student) and too loose with what it means to “understand mathematical concepts abstractly”.

Take an analogy: imagine professional musicians saying that most people should be able to take a piece of music and understand its harmonic structure, then apply it to a new setting to generate a new piece. Most people will reject this idea as absurd.
Entities, shrentities - it's all just data.

First Ever Recorded Use of ICBM in War
From what I can remember, the overseeing bodies (whatever they are) are not convinced that requiring helmets would reduce serious incident rates, and in fact convinced that this would decrease overall bike ridership.

I'd speculate that the metric of "injuries per kilometer cycled" wouldn't budge because of a helmets requirement.

Can't find a good summary of this now, but some bits of this are googleable.
> The article mentions how we come into contact with wild animals especially birds more often than we might think. I wish they expanded on that

On a large enough scale, it might be a different type of contact most people haven't thought of, maybe there's a good reason not to expand on that ;)

Its amazing, its almost as if driving is better when a huge amount of trips are instead done with transportation systems that require far less space and are far better for the environment.

Its as if drivers benefit just as much from good driving alternatives as non-drivers. But somehow this is consistently ignored by the 'pro-driving' crowd.

You are literally improving the overall efficiency of the whole system at minimal cost.

It routes around damage just fine. It doesn’t magically create extra capacity to handle cuts unless the capacity was built out already. Just in time capacity thinking has its downsides.

People complain about government employees, and continually insist that private industry can do it better.

It would almost certainly be cheaper and more effective to do it in house. But instead, in-house capabilities are continually decreasing. The actual government agencies are reduced to supervisory roles.

Stories like this usually result in even more hatred for government employees and more outsourcing.

Euler's formula is a specific case of the exponential map from Lie theory. This means e^x can be used with all sorts of interesting x types, and it often has surprisingly intuitive behavior! When x is a real number you get continuous growth. When x is a purely imaginary number you get continuous rotation. When x is complex you get continuous growth and rotation. When x is a matrix you get a continuous linear transformation (growth, rotation, and shear). What's the similarity here? Euler's formula treats it's argument as a transformation which gets continuously applied in infinitesimal amounts. This also explains the formula for calculating the value of e:

e = lim (1 + 1 / n) ^ n where (x -> infinity)

They didn't have them when they implemented this code.

Back then, error was a glorified string. Then it started having more smart errors, mostly due to a popular third party packages, and then the logic of those popular packages was more or less* put back to go.

* except for stacktraces in native errors. I understand that they are not there for speed reasons but dang it would be nice to have them sometimes
Honestly, I would so like someone to test that!
No, not with any useful degree of granularity. The electrical contacts aren't directly driven by the mechanical switch, they mostly rely on their own spring tension to make the connection. The mechanical part simply separates them.

By measuring contact bounce, you can probably detect the difference between fast and slow presses, but not much more. Maybe three or four levels total

Always great to see a successful “Single Rack of Failure” project out in the wild. And I don’t mean this as a negative. By being able to contain and control all the business into a single rack, you can more easily set up redundancy than trying to replicate your AWS environment between availability zones or worst, try recreating it in Azure or Google with all the different services, footguns, and so on. Just get another rack in a different datacenter and you’re set.

Congratulations to your team on keeping costs low and running a successful business out of a single rack.
You're describing it backwards.

Obesity tends to cause heart enlargement (https://radiopaedia.org/articles/obesity-cardiomyopathy), larger muscles (as you're doing essentially built-in weight training just walking around), and organs don't tend to shink; cross-sections show a pretty similar body cavity (https://www.cultofweird.com/medical/human-body-slices/) - the fat largely goes on top of it.

Sounds really cool.

It reminds me of programming, that moment when new code starts to really sync up and code goes from being a bunch of text to more intuitive structures. When really in the zone it feels like each function has its own shape and vibe. Like a clean little box function or a big ugly angry urchin function or a useless little circle that doesn't do anything and you make a note to get rid of. I can kinda see the whole graph connected by the data that flows through them.

I agree, however there is something to be said for the distance between the subject and the representation. If the 'underlying cow' is already somewhat square, then the representation in painting or photo is going to be close to that nebulous reality.

While it might be possible to take a photo of a cow that turns out looking spherical (due to the lighting or angle), it is surely going to be harder?
