I think placebo is a very strong effect most people underestimate.

normally breaks are not paid? in the us maybe

Often a mid level engineer salary at least.

I mean truck drivers make much more money than you'd think.

I have the opposite experience. Goes to show the difference between people.

I've always had trouble internalizing the "physics" of physics or chemistry, as if it were all super arbitrary and there was no order to it.

Computation and maths on the other hand just click with me. Philosophy as well btw.

I guess I deal better with handling completely abstract information and processes and when they clash with the real world I have a harder time reconciling.

But if the alternative becomes more real estate investment than we already have won't that be even worse?

Investing in the stock market at least in principle is investing in businesses that use that money to increase productivity. We should discourage investment in vehicles that do not optimize for productivity (real estate, bitcoin, metals and similar).

Likely a lot of medium posts? That's my theory anyway.

And then you get to the reason why everyone complains childcare is expensive.

What if you get a much better service from Uber?

Most local produce initatives fail because they're not actually better than the global/international variants, especially considered from a price/quality pov.

OOP is for problems that require complex modeling, indeed if you require just complex calculation it is useless.

For sure. Cost for example?

Just pointing out the obvious steelman people seem to be missing.

You can go on sidequests but first you need to accumulate sufficient credibility.

You can configure opcache to never stat unless it's reloaded

Funnily enough PHP solved this perfectly with composer, but unfortunately it's not an enterprise-level programming language /s

Whenever I read HN talking about PHP I am reminded of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. The level of discussion on the topic is abysmal, compared to (I guess perceived?) the discussion on other topics.

It's interesting how clearly 80% of the developers in the community clearly have 0 clue about modern PHP. People mention shared hosting, code in html files, CGI and bad security defaults. To be clear these things have been dead in the PHP world for 10+ years, but most developers here have used it once in 2005 and haven't seen how it looks like in the modern ecosystem.

It's as if whenever the topic was Java, the discussion would center only around the devs working with Java 1.8.

Likely, the rest of the discussion on HN is of the same level, but I have a harder time spotting the errors.

The comparison would be towards other languages in its class: Python, Ruby, Javascript.

Besides the shared nothing architecture mentioned by sibling:

- A more mature community and ecosystem for open source packages e.g. basics like following semver

- One single clear option for package management, which is also by far best in class

- Simply better performance except maybe compared to javascript

While the rest of the options may tick one of the above boxes, none of them ticks all 3.

Normally PHP developers are competent in Javascript but try to avoid it due to the clusterfuck that javascript is, especially the ecosystem.

It is not the same issue, due to how opcache works. No one remotely competent runs PHP without opcache in 2025.

> Nothing stops someone from simply enforcing the same division in a single large code base.

I'd say nothing except human nature.

Is it an US thing that on-call shifts are unpaid?

That is not common in Europe. Generous compensation and additional time off is quite typical for engineers handling on-call burdens.

Laravel and React/Angular developers right?

Have you checked out NPM?

I think this is partially why things like discord and in general semi-private circles are very popular. Here on HN discord is often criticized cause it's inherently a closed platform but that also makes it less accessible for content enshittificators.

Can you recommend some models for the gaming wireless headphones? Are you using Kleer?

The thing is, I think ChatGPT can help a lot with this as well, albeit not in its current form/implementation.

It just needs some knowledge repository centralization.

To be clear the government change in Moldova is more like an internal reorg of the current ruling party. The new government continues the same agenda as the previous one, and only a few members have changed.

Describing it as a "collapse" is purposefully misleading.

The countries you mentioned probably have a higher % of uninhabited land.

The irony in that is that it's probably the other way around but I'm too lazy to dig up data on that.

It's not hard, it's just wasteful and not very useful.

Please do impose those unwanted constraints thank you!
