Probably the package/ framework ecosystem. There is also a self reinforcing quality, there are a lot of devs which in turn encourage people to do projects in PHP to access those devs.

And it being dynamic. If just want to dump some JSON or a CSV into an array to do something with it it is probably going to be much quicker than in Java.

Yeah this is how I once deleted my production database. One thing I did to mitigate this was colour code the prompts for local/staging/production.

by robryan 6y ago
One solution to this is to make sure only the production servers can connect to the production database.

I think the midfield racing has actually gotten better this season. If they could just do something about Mercedes being so dominant the sport wouldn’t be in a bad place.

Maybe they could get away with slightly slower. They already have a bit of a problem where the aerodynamics have gotten so good that a lot of the tracks have corners that are just taken flat out now. Lap records are still being broken with

What you really need is some level of exclusivity, if you can drop ship someones stuff into a different market or bring a new customer base to it. If 50 other people are doing the same thing it probably won’t work. A decent portion of our b

The Russian case numbers seem a bit unusual to me. How they have been between 5 and 10k cases for so long without either driving it down further or having it get out of control.

Bigger numbers don't help much either, rating systems out of 10 tend towards anything under an 8 or maybe a 7 being average.

These companies certainly can try and great for them if they can make it work. If it was easy though it would have already happened to a greater extent.

Selling on Google has gone through a lot of iterations for them now as nothing seems to end up working out how they want. They are unsure whether they should just advertise products, or if they are selling whether they should handle shippin

Cathay has been doing this: https://youtu.be/PCJ5ikpIEOs If I recall it is only profitable on shorter routes. Certainly into and out of Australia at the moment we are seeing significant surcharges from DHL.

That just seems like poor design, although admittedly in this case it could be that the lots essentially go to the road. Ideally you would have a grass strip between the road and the path that people can put bins on, park on and so that the

I think what Amazon is saying here is if it is just about slapping a logo on something Amazon can do it better and cheaper than all of these 3rd parties. In some of these categories it is basically heaps of 3rd parties slapping logos on the

Most newspapers have never really been much different, same with the nightly news on TV. Everything is presented in such a way to give a very brief surface level look at a lot of stories without really giving a level of deep understanding o

Government has to subsidise them to be ready in the event there is a surge in cases. If people are being laid off there was no point to cancelling elective surgeries.

I don’t see our squares with our Australian numbers. How have we been able to bring the case numbers right down if there are as many asymptomatic cases and as high an R0 as these studies suggest. Our overall testing of people with symptoms

by robryan 6y ago
In Australia we are testing people with symptoms (recently expanded in most places to hae no additional criteria). Some counties with a bigger outbreak/ lesser lockdowns are going to have more people with symptoms to test. 1.7% positiv

Depends when it really took off in each country, the time from transmission to requiring hospitalisation can be fairly long, 2-3 weeks. It seems a country can probably avoid testing for a decent period of time until the wave of hospitalisat

Hopefully after this settles down a bit there will be a boom in remote work positions as so many companies will now be both setup for it and seen that it is effective.

And how are you meant to know what your manager actually thought? And even so is it all that relevant? Maybe you are leaving due to a poor relationship with your manager, maybe internal politics. Plenty of reasons why a great candidate woul

They operate in so many markets though, many competitors in many markets. For example in Australia Ola is generally cheaper (especially so when there is Uber surge pricing). It probably isn't sustainable for Ola either, but at the same

I liked the OA but it doesn’t surprise me at all that they had a hard time finding a large enough audience. While not strictly a Netflix show (international distribution only I think) it is unfortunate that Travelers got canceled which I th

So for a lot of shares that people can only afford fractional ownership of some kind of fund would still have to own them?

The big customers are probably so big that it makes the whole thing worth it.

by robryan 7y ago
How long to hold it for though? If say 90% of customers that haven’t paid for 5 weeks end up never paying that is resources they will never recover the cost for. What they could do is work out some high restore cost which makes the numbers

If this is a negative it is probably fairly specific to tech. In most industries a long tenure at a single company would been seen as positive.

I think it works both ways, we have some much choice now that you can easily seek out both ends of the spectrum. There is no shortage of mindless TV for people to watch if that is what they are after.

That is fair. When a test fails you would also expect them to repeat the test before putting humans on, we will see if that happens.
