60%+ of the webs logic runs on PHP. It may be way less necessary to build massive new systems with any language, be it PHP or anything else. But as a runtime PHP is as popular and required as ever. The top ten of the webs systems run almost exclusively on PHP, all other technologies are dwarfs in comparison.
I consider Theo-Fascism the worst type of fascism, because it abandons reason even way earlier than regular fascism. Both have a quasi-religious perversion of government, but at least with regular fascism religion is more of a sideshow. In Theo-Fascist regimes its front and center which turns it evil way faster and harder. On top of that, because its religion at the center, reason has been abandoned at the onset of fascism and not as a final result, making it much harder for a society to turn around or find "justifiable" ways to make life work.
Religious fanatics are the worst and these days its the Islam variants are the most ridiculous, are causing the most damage and are the most dangerous. Somebody needs to off the troika leading that country.
Early April, close to 30ÂC here in Germany. This isn't normal. I'm in western Germany where April weather lasts months. This year it was like a few days, maybe 2 weeks if you're generous. We had weeks of 35ÂC+ last year and the year before I was driving back from Portugal through the Toulouse Area and it was 37Â+ even as the sun was about to set behind the Pyranees. The Mediterranean last year was so warm the tourists stayed away. And we're taking about water temperature. The _water_ was so warm the tourists stayed away. This year's skiing season didn't happen in Germany.
We are screwed. The chance to avoid that has passed. How hard we are screwed however is still up to us.
Which bug annoys you most in WebKit?
The fact that notifications through the Push API do not cause the device to play sound, do not cause the device to vibrate, and appear at the bottom of the list on the lock screen.
Part 1 was made without part 2 being greenlit (they wanted to wait for the boxoffie numbers) and apparently part 2 was made more or less the same way. This is a tad annoying to say the least. Are movies going to be like video-games where I wait 18+ months for the fixed, debugged bargain deal gold edition to come out? Or will movies be crowdfunded in the future? Probably a mix of both. We see larger streaming serials becoming flaky and unreliable that way, now movies seem to go there too.
All that aside, Villeneuves Dune is _really_ good. I really liked part 1 and part 2 doubles down on the quality. Villeneuve didn't screw this one up and Dune is easy to screw up. He's proven once again that he can take a premium setting, _not_ botch it _and_ take it to a new level, as with Bladerunner 2049. His eerie brutalist visual style and "Lyonel Feininger Lighting" that he's know for hit the nail on the head when it comes to capturing the vibe of the Dune novel and the cast is top-of-the-line with good to very good performances all the way through. I also like the way he picks up and even quotes some elements and inspirations from the 1984 David Lynch version of the movie. There are obvious visual style-quotes from Gigers awesome set design present in the new Dune and some other details are clearly closer to the Lynch-Dune than the book. And all of it in a very good, awesome way. Hans Zimmers soundtrack is almost as iconic as Totos Dune theme from 1984 and is yet another grand masterpiece in movie scores.
Bottom line: I highly recommend the new Dune movie interpretation. Definitely a premium SF movie experience.
Improving quality of jpegs by improving its compression is a good thing. I still use jpegs a lot and I prefer them over PNG because PNG files usually are notably larger for the work I do. I hope GIMP ads this algorithm to their codebase ASAP.
That's a _lot_ of galaxies. Shame we have limited lifespans and no FTL-travel. Would love to hop on to an Elite Dangerous style spacecraft and explore the universe.
Sure sounds like it.
... my IDEs and GUI tools on a Chromebook with no extra hassle. That would be soooo cool and likely push ChromeOS forward by a large margin. Let's see what they're up to.
... if they offer you a severance package to join the first ones out. Mc Kinsey on premises is a red alert, no matter what they say they're doing.
Red Hat is getting ready for its final clean out.
... building and expanding nuclear fission plants? And no reason to worry about radiation? Great. I see absolutely no apocalyptic science fiction scenario coming out of this. One thing *is* certain though: That real-estate sure will hot, in more ways that one.
Read "A Fire upon the Deep" and "A Deepness in the Sky" by him. Awesome SF reads. He's widely regarded for some of the most imaginative aliens and alien cultures. If SF is your thing, definitely check those out.

How does the publisher of a newly launched website go about seeking advertisers to advertise on that website without going through a network or exchange?
... of Peak Digital. Which wouldn't be too surprising give the overall situation with IT and the digital space.
I've been using Motorola for my Smartphones since the G2, something like 10 years ago. I've alwas liked the fair budget options and the clean initial setup that was close to stock Android and only came with some really good and useful Moto stuff like the radio, Moto Actions and a quite neat camera app.
That Motorola comes up with a model that has shovelware on it is a first AFAICT. Don't like it. They've been bloating their lineup in recent years, I suspected that was also due to lack of parts and having to go with lots of options, but this shovelware non-sense points in a different direction: Managers milking a good established brand for a cheap throwaway increase in revenue, quality and long-term reputation be damned.
