When the government prints more money, all money loses value.

Show me an electric passenger truck that can pull 20,000 pounds.

>> That, in turn, makes it often possible to just take straight C library example code, copy it into a PHP file, add a $ in front of all variables, and have it magically work.

I know what I'm doing this afternoon!

> How do people debug in PHP?

Mostly xdebug. There is also ZRay on IBM if you use Zend, but I've never used it.

This looks very nice and is something I have been searching for but didn't know existed. Thank you!

ZeroTier kept having random disconnects, long wait times until connection is established/settled, and desktop app weirdness/inconsistencies. Have these problems been fixed? (Last used it years ago).

People keep saying this, but it hasn't been true for me. I've had to reinstall PiVPN a few times, I assume because automatic updates may have broken it somehow. I tried manually configuring wireguard every time but just could not get it to work after hours of trying. PiVPN has always been extremely easy to install and configure.

Gold, ideally. It's the best store of value and has been for centuries.

One of my all time favs/most used is installing Eclipse Marketplace in DBeaver so I can use vrapper in DBeaver.

Congress isn't incentivized to fix inflation. On the contrary, stats are concocted from cherry picked consumer goods to show current inflation at lower levels than what is reflected in reality and the specific goods vary depending on their cost at the time stats are concocted. Assets also tend to accumulate value when inflation rises, and so congresspeople know this and accumulate assets that will do so.

Empathy deals with the emotional systems (I feel you). Sympathy deals with intellectual (I understand what you feel or imagine it must feel like x). Compassion is a transcendent experience in which you try to imagine yourself in the shoes of another.

>> These events cause developers to feel fatigued, frustrated, and angry.

This type of thinking is the biggest assumption in the whole article, and something I often see pronounced as though it were fact by some default. Humans can have a strong degree of control over their emotions, and do not have to react to any events with any particular emotion. The reaction is often associated as 'being caused by' such and such thing, but when a feeling arises within, one can allow the feeling and not become overwhelmed/consumed with the effects of an unchecked emotional reaction. This allowing is the action of acting, rather than reacting. We do not have to behave as we always have, and get the results we have always gotten from our 'usual' states of being. We do not have to place the blame for our internal state on the external world, but benefit greatly by taking the responsibility for our own state.

>> Guns are the leading cause of children.

It's true. I shot my wife up and now I have 2 boys.

With a nihilistic attitude, it doesn't matter at all.

>> The problem is that doing that will very quickly tell you that modern society fucking sucks. Almost nothing works, everyone hates each other, things that are important get ignored because of greed, and most importantly, there's almost nothing you can do about it.

I find modern society to be substantially better than, say, even a couple hundred years ago when electricity and indoor plumbing was barely making the rounds. Our lives are considerably easier than those of our ancestors because of modern conveniences. I think it's incredible that we can communicate instantly with almost anyone on the planet.

If you think everyone hates each other, I'd suggest that you do either live in a big city where people are more prone to be absorbed in 'the busy', or get a lot of your interaction from the net and news, where yes, the algorithms and ad dollars come from negativity. That's just not how most of the world works, however. I can go to my nearest small town and everyone is being civil and I feel free to strike up a conversation with perfect strangers at a restaurant or bar and learn a new perspective or story. Most people don't "vibe high" as it were, and so if you think you do or can, you have the opportunity to spread that to other people through your interactions.

Working towards a practice of gratitude for what IS will expand your capacity to see the world in a favorable light, and will not only help you but help everyone. Nothing outside of you has the capacity to 'depress' you or make you feel anything else for that matter. Your feelings and attitude come from within. Don't let someone tell you otherwise: it's YOUR power and your responsibility.

That said, I live in a small, quiet, sparse town on some acreage with fantastic well water. My wife raises animals and she grows a lot of our food. It was one of the reasons I married her. Doing the farm thing isn't really for me (yet?) because I love tech so much, but it is peaceful out here and we're a short trip to some nearby decent sized cities if we want entertainment and such. I cannot imagine going back to live in the city again, it's just too stressful. The benefits of living closer to the land are hard to verbalize, but intuitively seem to feel good.

If you want to be self-sufficient, that's a whole other matter. It's very difficult to do in the modern age with the giant conglomerates consolidating resources. But I have hope that more and more will see the need and benefits. Start small and watch videos and read things concerning 'regenerative agriculture', 'sustainable agriculture', and 'homesteading'. You'll likely be able to make friends who want the same things as you, even if you're in a sparsely populated place. You might be surprised how many people are giving it a go. It's worth a shot.

Oh, and get a wife/husband if you don't have one already.

'Most people' can call it what they want, but in this context, they're not referring to a RESTful API. Search for 'REST JSON API' and you may discover 'most people' may be a subset of 'some people', and not a majority of people.

Worse, many may end up looking for something to fill the void left by lack of social interaction and not know what it is they're looking for. Others may not know how to socialize if they do know they need it, and may struggle as a result.

You disagree with the guy who created the term REST?

Can you present such a claim and your dispute?

"...REST JSON API..."

Please update.

Well... yes.

Building small projects with the small lessons I've been learning.

Studying design patterns and broader concepts - Gang of Four, Bob Fowler, Casey Muratori, Yegor Bugayenko), programming languages (OCaml, php, Java, C), and frameworks (Laravel, Django, Rails).

It's been a long and glorious slog. But it's like learning a language: the more you speak and write, the more you can speak and write.

It would be beneficial to have an open mind to the possibility of there being an effect. It serves no purpose to say "I know" when in fact, one does not.

No scientist knows how quantum entanglement works, we don't know how light photosynthesizes in plants, but by some magic we're super-familiar with the macroscopic properties of planets enough to say they're dead rocks/gas?

"But it is still bullshit, since celestial bodies does not affect the "fields of possibility" unless you are an astronaut."

I imagined you could back up the claim if you were going to make it.

And your 'proof' is where?

"That the celestial bodies are not always reliable became evident when no astrologer was able to predict that on March 30, 1981, at 2:27 p.m., EST, President Reagan would be shot in the chest during an assassination attempt.", "Unfortunately, her occupations had precluded her from doing this."

Quigley wasn't his astrologer at the time. I believe she was either dismissed from his service, or had left for some other reason. She was called back to his service after the shooting.

"Today, people’s blind belief in the power of astrology to reveal the future strikes us as absurd, because our mental stance is radically different."

Blind belief in anything is absurd.

This guy seems to conflate pop astrologers / grifters with actual astrologers. The grifters will claim to be able to predict the future. Actual astrologers will claim to explain the fields of possibility that will present themselves to people using archetypal languages; this is what astrology 'actually is': a language of archetypes. It has been my experience that 100% of the time it is people who know very little about astrology (like the author of this article) who deride it as 'false'. But that's about as useful as saying chemistry or Swahili is false.

"the astrologer-physician predicted that Hamilton would live happily, but would be in danger of dying from cardiac disease", "he predicted a life of political as well as ecclesiastical power.", "he foretold that the young king was going to live a long life"

This... is not how astrology works at all. Grifter or just woefully uninformed.

We don't go around proclaiming that physics is trash because of Newton.

I liked Trump and voted for him. I donated to his campaign. I also signed up for his email blasts which turned out to be a horrible idea. I "successfully unsubscribed" probably more than 5 times before blocking the address, as well as receiving campaign emails from other obviously associated parties. Never again.

I think op means with you, rather than someone else.

We're using PowerBI for this kind of thing.

It's certainly not open source, but you put in wonky tables, give it a couple/few examples of how you would like it to be, and it uses AI to spit out clean tables for export.

I'm not a fan of proprietary working files, but if that ever becomes a problem, at least we've still got the data.
