There is a not a really good alt yet, but I personally have it blocked due to other issues

Perspective can definitely change when one experiences needless suffering or death, or watches a loved one go through that

I spent a lot of time using msdn Microsoft docs for windows and activex c++ back in the day. Faintly envious there are videos in the c# docs.

I changed tech stacks, but comments and examples are awesome to use inside docs. Usually in the php, it’s the comments in the docs that are the best help, and example code and work around can be found there.

But most php depends on the tens of thousands of projects and libraries made others: so the docs one needs is scattered in the dependencies. Some who have good docs (laravel) and some that have no docs , in which case a debugger is best way to learn.

A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.

This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.

Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.

The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly

Huge boost for working people. People were able to negotiate for better pay, and travel to another employer if the pay was too low.

It was a social revolution for the survivors.

But it was more like a 50 to 60% reduction in supply. That Black Death did not mess around

There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.

Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.

Flies and moths sometimes got behind panels and caused issues. Hence computer bugs entered our lexicon.

It’s easier to imagine the insects entering with this picture,

I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.

The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow

When I was learning to program in the 1990s, at university, it was easy to get good advice and learning from the printed word: both in books and on websites. I think if I had to start learning all over again, and not be in a good school, it would be very hard for me to do as well.

Today there is too much advice, too many influencers who recently learned whatever they are peddling, too much AI, too many fields of tech.

I think the best way to learn now is how many of us learned decades earlier; use a list of books that are vetted by many ( can find lists here and there, saw one in GitHub last year). And while reading the books read the documentation even if they are gaps in one’s knowledge and the docs are badly written.

I don’t think one needs recent books for many concepts and basics. The wheel has been reinvented many times in the hundreds of tech stacks in use today. And the same concepts will be easy enough to learn in newer docs once a technology and programming set of tools is invested into by the learner.

As for new software engineering ideas and architecture concepts: usually these are reiterated from earlier ideas and often marketed for profit. So older architecture books, refined by several editions, are still best.

Most of these are downloaded for pipeline tests and auto builds. And because most of the web does run on php, and more sites will be transitioning to modern tooling: this number will probably double and triple soonish ( few months or years).

That said, php sucks. At this point though it’s more like a critical technology rather than the poster child of bad life choices

There are many cool terms and phrases just waiting to be spoken and written again. But yes

Also apparently this particular op phrase lives on in some areas, going by that uk comment

Yea, I see it as a world wide trend in many languages: the dialects are going away

I grew up near the Appalachian segment of the USA southeast. This was an oft repeated phrase then.

I did not even think about it while I read the comic. But methinks it’s going away in style. Everyone speaks high English here.

All posts are filtered, organized and sometimes made by AI, or non AI programs, which will decide which users get shown which posts?

Interesting

That much ?

Watched this, it was a silly but nice movie. It’s meant to be a comedy but I understand a lot of the stuff, other than the journalist’s story, really happened.

Which makes it more fun.

Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something

I’m not familiar with the site, but perhaps this issue could have been solved by only allowing friends to book other friends.

Then friend lists are built by mutual consent only?
