Can you link to what you are talking about? Because if it's what I think it is, this is my neighborhood. It was a parade cancelled to avoid violence, mostly by people who don't live in this neighborhood and don't care about the parade but about politics.
That citation is about putting people in concentration camps, not about free speech.
It is characteristic of the people now banned by Patreon - and their followers - to stylize themselves as martyrs. However, they are just unwelcome, like someone ranting loudly at a bar. There is nothing going on that threatens anyone's life.
Go has much better concurrency, networking, and packaging capabilities. NodeJS can be used for both, front-end and back-end, including iOS / Android. Clojure(Script) provides more than Go and NodeJS combined, but was too new at the time. Even Python would be a much more powerful choice than PHP for anything, that is not a simple LAMP application.
Most of your points are irrelevant (packaging, JS as a compilation target, mobile development) as they do not support your argument that PHP would be inadequate for the task at hand. You seem not to like PHP, which is fine, neither do I, but this is not conclusive.
I have spent many years doing PHP development and still do, but the only technical people I know who pick PHP for new projects are the ones, for whom it's the only programming language they know. Therefore, my trust in their all-around competence is very limited.
I read this thread early this morning when the only comment was "the left is eating itself", got mad, decided HN sucks now, then decided to try understand the point of view of the commenter, I read the rest of their comments, decided my original position was correct.
My new YC application is for an app that detects when dang goes home for the weekend by detecting when cranks start commenting on threads for links to non tech news.
Not sure where you're getting that... Erdogan has been demanding that Gulen be extradited directly to Turkey since at least 2016, and I'm sure earlier.
The only reason Saudi Arabia is bombing their neighbor is MBS decided he needed a successful military victory to highlight and cement his power as the true ruler of Saudi Arabia.
Yemen is the poorest country in that part of the world and poses no threat to SA.
The only reason the US aides SA in bombing and starving Yemen is they asked.
I don't think that's true. You have to screw around with launchctl. The original poster probably has to add the ability for a specific user to ssh to the box in "remote access"
The "Remote Login" checkbox in System Preferences actually does something equivalent to the `systemsetup` command. If you uncheck it, the daemon stops running, and you can then make changes or run it yourself.
