To make it worse: it's not millions of chickens, that live in appaling conditions and die horrible deaths. We kill around 50 billion chickens every year. That is 137 million chickens every day. Chickens that are used for eating are a

Laravel and Symfony is interesting, because Laravel sits on top of Symfony and releases of Laravel sometimes wait for releases of Symfony components.

But this works as intended? The code isn't cluttered with documentation, that doesn't necessarily makes sense when reading the code, but by reading the commit, one can understand why the code was written like that.

That polyfill is 46 Megabytes in size. This would suck so much to have this suddenly in the build.

> The file is a mere 512 bytes, and unpacks to a 26kb file, which again unpacks to 3Mb. My brain hurts when thinking about that. How could 512 bytes be enough to store ~3 million bytes? I know that compression is basically about finding

Man, I got carpal tunnel syndrome just from looking at the edge of that fibreboard. I couldn't work at that "desk" for 20 minutes.

My take is, that a performant backend gets you so much runway, that you can reduce a lot of complexity in the frontend. And yes, sometimes that means to have globally distributed databases. But the industry is going the other way. Building

This is not the point, or other numbers matter more, then yours. In 2005 we wrote entire games for browsers without any frontend framework (jQuery wasn't invented yet) and managed to generate responses in under 80 ms in PHP. Most users

I honestly don't understand this. The syntax is one of the most boring parts of a programming language. It is solved by the IDE (and now LLMs). I don't care about syntax, I care about what I can build. Since the beginning of time

I believe you but this only shows how hard it is to tell ai generated text apart.

I'm honestly shocked how hard it is to prove that the site is ai generated. There is a very strong ai-vibe, but to find proof in the pictures is hard on most of them (not the pizza one, that one looks awful).

While I don't know if the paper is "stupid", or not, I think nobody in the last two decades has ever seen an uncut interview. So I don't see how this light would help or proof anything.

Have you used proxmox? It makes stuff easy, that was really complicated before proxmox entered the stage.

The partition table gets mostly written only once in the lifetime of a filesystem/disk. So it almost never corrupts during an os crash. There are a lot of RAIDs and configurations. Some of them may do what you describe, but most don&#x

What the hell are you talking about? Any filesystem on any OS I've seen the last 3 decades had some kind of recovery path after any crash. Some of them lose more data, some of them less. But being unable to mount, is a bug that makes a

I don't know how absolute terrible the database must be, that you are talking about, but I think that managing 10k entries of whatever shouldn't be any problem at all for anything with a CPU and like 640KB of RAM.

PHP watched the absolute disaster of python 2 to 3 version upgrade and rightfully decided that it will be as much backwards compatible as possible. PHP 10 with a clean slate is a cute idea that would wreak havoc. Perl, or whatever it is cal

There is no legal grey zone. Just read the law. In Germany it's the BFSG (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz) and it is much more pleasant than this monster of a word let's you assume. It mainly boils down to: write ARIA tags and ad

This is also FUD. Please stop it. The law is for disabled people who need to use important tools online. It is not about some guy who tries to sell his music.
