Composer mostly replaces 'drush make'. You can still download zip files (for core, themes and modules). Composer helps if you have to manage complicated modules. For example, CiviCRM is CMS-agnostic and bundles its own versions of

Not to mention articles that use an average instead of median. Millennials can seem rich on average, but poor on median, because of the growing wealth disparity.

Nice way to kill a conversation and any hope of building something better. Romania's institutions are corrupt and dysfunctional, there isn't much more to say than that. It would be nice for the EU to lean in, but it's unlikel

The blog post does also say: "Considering the expected future advantages from using clang (cross-language inlining with Rust, consistency between platforms), it seemed a better deal to switch to clang than to try to address those issue

Except they're targeting vulnerable people. To some extent, it's not very different from spammers who do on purpose to write full of typos, so that most "smart enough" people will just delete their emails, not bother inv

I've seen Infowars regularly mocked in mainstream comedy TV shows. Shining light on Infowars misinformation / ill intent is probably a good thing. Adding barriers to passive consumption, by vulnerable (misinformed) people, is prob

Just curious: what's the ideal population Earth, if all humans consumed as much as the average person in the US/Canada? Random googling suggests that for the US alone, ideal population would be 150 M, with EU-levels of consumption

That's rather pessimistic. The old slogan of "reduce, re-use, recycle" (in that order) still applies. There is no magic bullet.

In many supermarkets/butchers, you can also bring your own resealable plastic containers for meats. Most will usually insist on washing the container for you (because of regulations), so it's usually better to ask off-peak hours.

Oddly, I've had the opposite experience (in Canada): the online price would be the same as on Amazon. I wanted it now, so I went to the store (even though I hate driving to the suburbs/shopping mall), only to see that the item was

It doesn't make much sense from a purely scientific point of view, however, banning straws, much like banning plastic bags, is an efficient way to raise awareness and minimize inconvenience, to encourage people to re-examine their habi

This article is rather cranky and make two assumptions: 1) that plastic is often trashed, not recycled, and it assumes that we will never fix that. 2) exemptions will not be made for people with disabilities. Also, would compostable straws

Cities can be made to be enjoyable. The pedestrians you describe are doing the right thing. That said, I agree, we should devote less space to inefficient cars, more space/lanes to pedestrians/cyclists/etc.
