You're pointing a finger at the wrong villain. Laravel's your culprit not core PHP. I have no idea what mind-altering substances that crowd got into when they decided to objectify everything all the time, but it isn't a hallmark of either the language or good coding practices and the result is so hard to debug it requires it's own toolchain. Fun Fact: Drupal's core team threw a big chunk of it's community developers overboard switching to this bullshit. Net result: they bricked the project's credibility listening to the wrong people and lost a bunch of market share and mindspace because of it. A shame too, the project could have credibly challenged Wordpress if they'd gone another way.
> Great opportunity for someone ballsy to write a book about kubernetes internals for the general engineering population.

What would be the interest of it? Think about it:

- kubernetes is an interface and not a specific implementation,

- the bulk of the industry standardized on managed services, which means you actually have no idea what are the actual internals driving your services,

- so you read up on the exact function call that handles a specific aspect of pod auto scaling. That was a nice read. How does that make you a better engineer than those who didn't?

It didn't let you socialize because you needed to keep an exact angle. There's no restriction with VR since you can portray an avatar or person. So thars mitigated.

It's more a matter that VR is expensive and still not small enough to he accessible.
You need to provide the firmware, because they aren't free to distribute. There's an open source one, but it doesn't boot to BASIC and can only be used to run cartridges.

My question is: why we have to be stuck in nostalgia?

Why isn’t there today a computer with modern processors and GPU which can boot to a REPL, where you can easily interface with all the HW, for example audio and video?

I wanted to do something like that for the RP400. But is more difficult that it seems…
Honest question: in which way does productivity improve? Is that measurable? Or is that just a well-being feeling for meeting colleagues IRL?

End of life is so massively badly handled sometimes. One Parent in Law had major anxiety meds withdrawn at end stage, which must have been catastrophically cruel. (Weren't in a formulation to hand which would work in the pump, could not be given orally, consulting psych unavailable). She had expressed repeatedly how scared of death, dying she was. The other had a hand written advanced health directive which the surgeon refused to recognise and so he indulged himself in heroic attempts at recovery after a failed stent op caused a brain event. He totally disintegrated as a person, dissociated in front of our eyes over 4 days. The hand note was clear it was dignity of person which mattered to him most.

Get a proper advanced health directive, get it legally done with doctors and witnesses, and check your med dependencies before hitting the hospice.

Secretary of Treasury works for President.

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title31/sub...

This law does not mandate continuous minting. So I think you are wrong that the Secretary of Treasury does not have the ability to say how much of a coin is produced day to day.

Legal scholars, such as Laurence H. Tribe, have noted that U.S. law grants the Treasury Secretary the authority to determine the quantities of coinage necessary to meet the needs of the United States. Therefore, if the Secretary decides that the required amount for a particular coin is zero, they are within their legal rights to stop its production.
The origin story of the sofa is exactly this: furniture items in the St. John's College got trapped upstairs, and if you assume all other things being equal, they couldn't get there in the first place.

The reason was that the furniture was brought upstairs for the staircase remodeling, and the new staircase made it impossible to move it back.
Mind boggling that you need a tool to start using a tool.
This way of stating things leaves out the central position that React has in any setup.

If you can stomach Australians, which isn't too hard for most people, it's actually a good balance for Americans. It's culturally not too far from the US, it has English and a sensible politics (relatively). The weather is really good, and diverse, and people are very relaxed (compared to the US).

If you don't have a sense of humor, especially about yourself, you may find it difficult there though.

Have you tried? I honestly don't know how good it would be. On one hand it seems to be pretty good at breaking down and explaining things at a very basic level; the other day I noticed a thinking model write almost a full page of analysis in its chain of thought on how to greet me ('hi' vs 'hello' vs 'how can I help you?' etc.). But on the other hand, the kind of coaching you're hoping for might be not be very present in the training data.

"ChatGPT" can mean many things... If you meant the free 4o-mini model, then yes, this outcome is not surprising, since it is bad at basically anything related to code.

If you meant the more powerful o1 or o3-mini models (great naming, openai...), then that outcome would be surprising.
Vite is a direct replacement for CRA but corporate speak makes it sound you need a framework and that corporate speak is funded/influenced by Vercel.

No you do not need NextJS or any other server side JS for most of the projects. Let's not pretend SPA is dead. Most of you do not need server side rendering and all the complexity it brings.

Just use Vite. You can decide whether to add Tailwind etc later. React should be left bare bones, and it can recommend frameworks, not make them sound default.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
Anthropomorphization is another problem. As soon as people give things names, they start to treat them like they're individual people even if they're anything but. How many times have you heard someone say "China will..." or "The US thinks..." or "Europe's opinion..."

Now these are all potentially useful, context-dependent shorthands...but they're absolutely ripe for misunderstanding. Something I find myself doing a lot these days is asking people to explain what exactly they think is happening on an individual, human level when they declare anything greater then that is "doing" something...because of course, no large organization ever does anything - they're all composed of individuals taking action, potentially under direction but still as individuals.
> its still relevant

Relevant in what way? Relevant as in they are factual or relevant to the day to day of a real PHP developer, because I can tell you the latter didn't hold up even when this was written.

> even a decade has passed

We got more optional typing and better error handling, and I'm still able to run the awful code I have written a decade ago.

Java is an almost 30 year old language and I can still do this:

String foo = null;
System.out.println("hello" + foo.length());

> Make you wonder what the hell php devs are really doing?

Incrementally improving the language without breaking too much.

> 60% true still. Most of the issues are in "wontfix" mode.

Most of those are quirks that you can safely ignore, and "fixing" them would result in breaking a lot of the existing code, which is not worth it.
I hope you are right, but there are also growing right wing movements and countries with pro-russian governments. I dislike those governments and all that, but they will make it harder for the good parts of Europe to remain good.

The other issue is that if US supports Russia, the Europe has no chance. And Trump will be actively working on destroying Europe too - both economically and politically. Not because of Russia, but because that is wining for him and because he was successful at that his whole life.
Your opinions here are the core of my gripe with React: everybody has their own favorite package for some functionality that comes in standard frameworks. You’re mentioning libraries I didnt know existed.

US citizen who relocated to Finland ~4 years ago here!

>[D]o you think the current economic difficulties are structural or just a temporary consequence of war?

Definitely structural, but I am far from an expert, caveat emptor. The high unemployment rate even for highly educated workers in a country with such excellent English proficiency (== access to worldwide capital markets) is my main indicator. I really do think the heavy taxation structures at most levels of society here is driving out entrepreneurship in droves. This isn't the conclusion I was most hoping to reach before moving here; there's a world in which a robust safety net, paid for by such taxes, actually incentivizes entrepreneurship by cushioning the fall - but I just don't see the evidence for us living in that world, at least not here.

The good news is that that means Finland's current problems are largely self-imposed. Lightening up this tax regime for a few decades will probably lead to an economic miracle for the country. Finland has many other factors in its favor and I'd love to see that happen. (I probably won't stick around for it, simply because I'm starting to get sick of working 50,000€ jobs that currently pay >$150,000 in the US. But a few decades of above average economic growth can work wonders, if the country decides to go in that direction, and I may well end up coming back for my twilight years.)

>Are you concerned by the geopolitical situation, with an aggressive neighbor possibly escalating sometime in the mid term?

Not at the moment, but that's very much because of NATO. The war actually broke out just a few months after I moved here, and the period between then and the NATO acceptance was probably the most terrified I have ever been in my life.

War hits different when the aggressor actually shares a border with you. I don't think I realized quite how lucky the US was in that regard geographically until it actually happened. I had nightmares quite regularly during that time and it became a daily topic of conversation in my house with my then-fiancee, now-wife as to whether we should cut our losses now and move to the US, instead of waiting an unknown amount of time for my Irish passport to be granted to me.

If NATO dissolves we are packing our bags and getting on the next flight to Boston, or at least Oslo or Dublin or something. That's not really "Finland's fault", of course, if anything Finnish-Russian diplomacy has been the eighth wonder of the modern world for the past 70 years or so.
Yes, I totally agree. What I meant is that sometimes enterprise comes first, sometimes desktop comes first, sometimes they meet in the middle.

I find frustrating that this type of product (like the MSX VR some years ago), don't specify clearly what are they selling. Is it an ARM SoC? Does it have a Z80? Is it implemented with a FPGA?

Yes, it says "OneChipMSX" https://www.msx.org/wiki/1chipMS but IMHO it could be clearer.

If you go to http://www.8086cpu.com/MSX/103.html there's more information, but it definitely puts me off when considering one of these devices.

Last time I worked retail was 1996-1997 and we meticulously had to count the register. If it was off then it was on us. This was pre touch screens and auto calculating registers. The same still applies in the latest modern world. You are off then you pay.
It is a gigantic regression to the mean. Everybody thinks (s)he's "normal", but in fact only spans a small part of knowledge. Getting answers from a different location in knowledge space can feel like speaking to an expert but it's just some "other normal". My personal mental model of hallucinations is that knowledge and truth live on a manifold and not a continuous space and learning that manifold statistically is (too) hard. You discover answers from the "non-manifold" in your area but not so easily in other domains.

while it is true that there is a gap between what most LLMs "know" and current time that gap is getting smaller not larger with time, it is also possible to teach a model pass the knowledge cut-off with tools and an LLM might be encouraged to be aware of the gap and reach out for the latest information when it might have changed (pi is still pi but the country with the most people might have changed)
I know this is highly controversial, but I don't understand all this sentiment against js frameworks. You can still write vanilla html + js if you don't need hashed assets, css isolation, routers, linting, types, complex state, etc. It won't scale much, but maybe you don't need to scale, you just need to show some simple content with a login page and a "back to top" button. You can absolutely do that without frameworks, and you're better off without.

Here comes the controversial part: I feel all this sentiment against "frontend complexity" is essentially non-frontend developers wanting cool, highly interactive web apps for their backend and getting bummed when they discover it's hard, specialized work. It is, the browser is a beast, all the layers are backwards compatible and web apps are essentially i/o heavy programs responding to a huge number of async events, trying to render a complex state in response on millions of slightly incompatible platforms. There's no silver bullet for that: it's complex, and the complexity shows in the tooling. But if you don't need that complexity because you just need the browser's lower-interactivity presentation layer, nobody in the world forces you to write an SPA. The problems normally start when you want to "just add a comment section" to your content but then you don't want to reload the page and you discover that it becomes complex soon and writing SPAs comes at a cost.

Sorry for the rant.
Thanks.

My word choice and vocabulary was pretty poor, I also don't think humanity will die.

But more than the gradual climate degradation, I fear we'll have an increasing number unforseen failure modes that will make it pretty hellish to survive (e.g. whole swaths of land/water accidentally poisoned, non human viruses we can't properly deal with, environment adapts in ways that is a lot more unfavorable to us than we assume). As you point out, I'd bet on uncharted system dynamics leading to cascading failures.

If life continues while slowly getting worse I'd see it as a win, the worse scenario being a lot bleaker with people barely maintaining a viable number of human to keep society going.

It's not fate and I'm part of the generation that truely didn't give a damn about climate for most of it's life...which is perhaps why I feel I'm not in a position to just assume everything will be shitty but somewhat fine and the next generation will just be slightly worse.
> Because you're taking other people's money by threat of lethal force

The government is doing that, not the dancer. If you consider general taxation immoral, fair enough, but then you're going to have to explain how a country can function without it.

Boy, have I got bad news for you about a lot of students on what you'd consider more worthwhile courses.

Fixed that for you.
Maybe I am just way deeper in this space that any well-adjusted person should be, but the line of 'did you know LLMs are bad with niche factual information tasks in non-verifiable domains?' has become extremely boring to me. It feels very hard to find something actually new to say on the topic. I find it amazing people still feel the need to talk about it. But then again, I guess most people don't know the difference between a 4o and an R1.
> Why is your starting point not the default for most reasonable people - that the government is literally people from that society trying to manage their own affairs and to help each other when possible?

Because the government (at both state and federal levels) has been not this for several decades now. Legislative capture is wild stuff.

As the article mentions, LLM is often wrong, particularly on niche topics. But if you have some other way of verifying the answer, it's still useful.

Hmm. But it is not an oracle. I wonder if you prompted it as an expert in palaeontology it may perform better.

My friend is a leading research chemist and he, and one other person in china, are working on this one particular field - individually - so there would be little information out there. I asked ChatGPT 4o to give an overview of what he was doing based on the little information I knew. He was astounded. It got it spot on. I asked it to elaborate and to come up with some new direction for research and the ideas it spat out were those he had considered and more.
While you can run React without a compiler (at least last time I checked), it's really no fun without TSX/JSX, so you need a compiler. There's a bunch of choices in that category, and a bunch of loaders/plugins you can pile on top of that. Compilers and bundlers are not so fun to maintain.
