PHP started as a scripting language and had/has many other issues and fundamentals that had/has to get right first. Don't blame PHP or Javascript for things they were not initially built and meant for, when there are other la

"It has no async/multi-threading either, so probably JavaScript is less-bad." Screwdrivers are really that bad, you can't even use them to pound a nail properly...

Because they are being ridiculous already. It’s one thing to help developers and try to bring up their stories and issues with the App Store, it’s another thing to come up with ridiculous examples (Tesla, banking apps, AirBnB and so on, tha

So nice for the people of Basecamp to be fighting the good fight for everyone and the small developers. It’s not like they were perfectly fine with the system as long as it didn’t affect them, being one of the “famous” companies out there,

They closed down a ridiculously big area and were stopping people. I had no issue with that, but there were also other people not planning to go to the demo that were quite upset and were arguing with the police. Thing is that in the end th

The one where police stopped us from going grocery shopping was exactly one week before, so it's not that far back. It's still not allowed to have mass protests, no matter the cause.

This is not just the US, I just realised that in Germany, Munich, there were some "rednecks" and weird people protesting the Corona measures. So they closed down a 100 acres area where Oktoberfest takes place for a 1000 person pro

This also depends on the company and in the same time it depends on the people applying for the job. I wouldn't feel any motivation if I would just go to company X because of their great technology, but the business is something that s

The last part of the message that I replied to literally goes "but if the fashion industry went away and never returned, society wouldn't suffer." Coming from the other side, yes, society would suffer, same goes with tourism

Wow, what's going on lately with hackernews. I see these extreme opinions on everything, it's like we're trying to take out the entire fun and diversity from life so that we can all live forever in our apartments, work from t

Wow, thanks for this. I thought that I might have a hardware problem, as a couple of times as I wake the laptop, it looks like it restarted, but did not have the time to check it as I mostly use my work laptop currently.

Everyone is different and the whole thing depends on so many things, that there is no one solution fits all. I started my career or a good part of it as a freelancer and then with my own company that was fully remote in a time where home of

I think, just like some comments below mention, it's hard to grasp this when you are not affected by this. Most of the people here have savings or work in fields that are still ok, but there is more to the world than this. I work in a

well, it's Bloomberg citing one person only, it's not a scientific paper. I do find it quite worrying that when news gets hold of all kind of edge cases or special cases, with barely any scientific data to back it up (from COVID c

I also have a 13" from 2018. No issues with it, keyboard works fine and used daily, having a shitty no name 40 Euro 9 USB port dongle, no errors, maybe 3 reboots in all this time. Love it for the portability and somehow like the keyboa

Companies ignore quality all the time to save costs. We're on the Office 365 bandwagon. We used Skype before company wide and Slack in IT. They made a group of seeing which tool is better. Slack ended up better, but Teams is free in ou

Up until someone decides that food is also not essential for the majority of the population and we will just need to drink some sort of universal soy and lentil based smoothie. :)

There are more hospitals and health workers doing nothing now globally (and no, I am not ignoring the outliers here, like Lombardy, Madrid, London, New York, I’m talking about the rest of the world), waiting for a wave that never came, even

Sad to see that everything that tries to bring some positivity to this crisis or a different point of view gets downvoted into oblivion here, including studies and opinions on how we’re doing more harm with certain measures.

Do you have a source for that? Asking as a person living in Germany, I never heard something like that.

Epidemiology is not putting numbers in excel and running a formula to generate a chart. Which seems like what half the world is doing now. US has already the same number of cases that Italy had one week ago when it had 4000 deaths (only 500

That’s just anecdotal data. Two weeks ago, Munich, test on Sunday for a 4 person family, results came back Tuesday. They were not allowed to leave their home until results came back.

I'm afraid that on the long term, the social unrest and the economic consequences will far outweigh the damage done by the virus. There is no plan on how long you can shut down whole countries. Europe, for example is not like China, yo

Didn't want to make it sound like you are promoting a conspiracy, sorry, it's just that everyone treats the numbers as somehow manipulated. My point is that the current numbers are all that we have - we are mostly technical people

I do have one question and I'm asking this seriously, not to start an argument or to attack someone. I also saw this here in a lot of the posts about covid-19. We have numbers, but every time people tend to ignore them or say we should

I think you are underestimating the cost of your setup. There is no way in my opinion that you can build a decent PC with 1/4 price of a MacBook Pro. European prices might be higher, 2699 official price for base 16" (you can actua

I find it so bad compared to Slack. We used Slack internally in all the IT for a couple of years years (the company was using Skype for Business and whatever it was called before). It was decided that we will go with Teams because it's
