React isn't a language, it's an elegant pattern layered on top of (Java|Type)script which are languages. Not sure what versioning conflicts there are with Python but there are a lot of community solutions in the form of pyenv, vir

Kinda, you have to make sure all the extensions you need are installed, then fix php.ini so it's not doing anything wrong, and then it usually works if you haven't missed anything, until something becomes deprecated.

Yeah I do agree it was a stepping-stone in many ways.

I used to work way back in the day on PHP too, but even though I'm sure this will be downvoted, it's really sad people still take it seriously as a language in 2023. There's nothing remotely elegant about it. It's not ex

Always safer to first curl url > file, then read through file, then only if all looks good, run the file (under an appropriate user and with permissions as limited as possible, etc.)

Modals are a tool. Like any tool, they may or may not be the right tool for any particular situation, and it is possible to over- or underuse. Pretty easy, really.

PSA that there are always other countries, other opportunities, and other people with wider views out there. Nobody should limit themselves to this stuff.

Exactly. And this really continues the whole idea that when you have thousands of "researchers" (people) who are judged solely upon quantity/acceptance hierarchy of published papers -- and what's at risk is their livelih

PSA that the (severely underreported) inflation is ~8%, so both these yields are meaningless in real terms.

Guessing this will be an unpopular opinion, but anyone troubled by this war on web standards and web developers? Like, if we're just going to take stuff that should work, and decide unilaterally now it won't work because <X>

It's actually a fascinating experience being in the presence of a narcissist for a while. It truly is a different kernel/OS that their mind is running. But exactly -- everyone in such a situation does and will reach this conclusio

That's a social media motivated definition. It's actually a lot more than that.

Yeah, the problem w/ this theory is that they're still narcissists. You can do all the above and perhaps you'll succeed in convincing yourself you're having a "rewarding & meaningful interaction" ... but th

Looks great and super smart to have the instant demo. More SAAS tools should offer that. Jira / Atlassian / etc. does my head in every time I even have to login, let alone use it. Hope this tool / ones like it will take off!

I think you're likely to be underestimating how psychopathic / purely driven by their research to the exclusion of all other factors these people are likely to be. You're probably assuming they have a normal / social &#x

It's actually even worse. It's like, "we don't care how the oil spill started, or even if there are oil spills, or even if 'oil' and 'spill' actually have any business being used together, because wha

What a sadly modern philosophy... Sure, why should we learn anything from the past? Let's just adjust the past to be whatever's most convenient for today. If it's not convenient at this immediate moment right now, let's

Yep, let's do that. Then on the other end we can write opinion pieces like this: https://carnegieendowment.org/2012/03/06/why-fukushima-was-p... The great thing about opinion pieces is everyone's al
