PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it’s \r\n on Windows.
I don’t really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible, 5.x was mainly getting slowly rid of nonsense and with 7.x PHP started its slow path of redemption and entered its modern era.
While Lerdorf’s vision was great at that time for its intended use case, I wouldn’t want to build anything serious in it.
In PHP it exists as well. I try to use PHP_EOL but when I’m lazy I simply do “\n”.
PHP: 0.3*
* with default precision
Stick to the training, your brain will figure out the rest. Unless you’re missing self-preservation instinct, your brain will do its best to survive and avoid psychological trauma.
That includes trauma from killing others, you will dull in time naturally.
Important note: you will get psychological trauma, there’s no way to avoid that. Your brain will put up some defenses (the kind of the defenses is highly individual) to prevent the trauma fucking up your life in the short term, but it will fuck you up in the long term. Only therapy can help there, though it’s very unlikely to be cured entirely at all.
If you go to war and get traumatized, find a therapist as fast as you can. The longer the trauma is untreated, the deeper it becomes part of your personality. And by that I mean really as fast as you can. If you get a chance to speak to a therapist 20 minutes after you go through something traumatic, do it, even if you feel like you’re managing. If you can’t access one that quickly (which is likely during an armed conflict), do it as soon as you’re able to.
I think there’s an implicit “chicken” before the egg: what was first, a chicken or a [chicken] egg?
Funny you mention colours, you can very easily determine the point where it’s more green than red.
I would call a 19th century book old. Like, no one I know has been alive in 19th century. That’s pretty old by my standards.
Really depends on your age, I guess. For me, anything made in 1990 and later is new(ish) and everything before that is old. I imagine if you were born in the 2010s, even 90s movies feel very old.
That guy is great. But nothing beats his JS developer interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo3cL4nrGOk
why they would want to pass trauma onto me
It’s not like it’s intentional, usually. Everyone has a different way of coping with trauma and sadly, one of the brain’s most usual defenses is repeating the same behaviour, because that makes what happened normal - if I do it too, how could it be something bad?
People who do that need a therapy to stop repeating the abusive behaviour, but as with alcoholism, the first step is to admit you have been abused. You would be surprised how many people don’t get past the first step. And that’s how abusive behaviour in people who are not necessarily psychopaths occurs.
As an aside, being a psychopath (not a sociopath, that term doesn’t exist in psychology) is also a defense mechanism, although one on the extreme side of things and it’s generally incurable past a certain age.
Good luck! I did the same recently. I wrote my own blog system, though. I can share it with you, but I’m not sure it’s the best for anyone else, there were some shortcuts taken given I did not intend to share it.
You can check out my blog and let me know whether you want to try it: https://chrastecky.dev/ (or federated: !programming@chrastecky.dev, !3d-printing@chrastecky.dev, !gaming@chrastecky.dev).
You can never truly confirm any scientific theory
All of physics would like a word.
It’s just an algorithm, all it takes is someone deciding they want to do it.
It’s equally easy to do on federated social media, it’s just that no one found the incentive (yet?).
Well, that you think about it easily places you in a different group then the average joes. Most people don’t think about anything that’s not relevant to their survival.
We haven’t really evolved that much in the last few millennia where our civilization started, millennia is a really small scale for evolution.
And for people like that (the majority), social media are a bane, because they abuse what we know about human mind to be es engageable as possible, even if it’s not beneficial to the human.
Social media as a concept is not the problem, the execution is.
Most people simply don’t care about abstract issues like social media and similar.
Well, if you’re into that, I’m not one to kinkshame.
It’s also great if you have a general knowledge of something but don’t know the details. Like today I needed to do some database introspection using queries in Snowflake, I knew exactly what I needed but not where the database schema is located etc., so I let GPT write the query instead.
Or some time ago I needed to get all instances of classes implementing a specific generic interface in .NET, the code eventually dabbled into the very specifics of the runtime, it would’ve taken me much longer to find out with documentation.
All in all, it’s my opinion that AI is great if two conditions are met:
Ah, thanks I wasn’t aware of the book, nor of that particular detail of murder.
Stupid term people use for “writing” code without the knowledge of programming by using AI.
Kinda the next level of running random code from the internet without understanding what it does.
That game’s really great, definitely better than at launch. Still many bugs, but it’s been fun playing with my partner on our local server.
