My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can’t open any port. Then my isp’s router’s local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.
… but if even if they were to earn minimum wage, they can just, you know, take bribes? Just don’t tell anyone about it. Or pass laws that benefit them.
I think that would allow a “better” democracy in paper, but not much would change. Using my country as an example:
One person, one vote, voting is mandatory, if you don’t vote you have to pay penalties and lose access to many government services. Businesses are required to give time off for voting. Elections are so fragmented that in the last one a person with 15% of the total votes won. People voted for they in second round only because they were the lesser of two evils.
Candidats are still shit, evil persons that only care about using the government to enrich themselves (and have a history of doing so), most of the population are so bad educated that they only need to hear a few promises to vote for them.
Not implemented. Would be specially nice for the fragmentation.
We only have congress. Still corrupt, still holds most of the power, uses it to gain money through laws that benefit them and their businesses. It is very fragmented, but it doesn’t matter, because they join when they need to pass a law that benefits them. Leaders of the political parties decide which laws to pass, and tell the congresspeople how to vote. If someone does’t vote as they are told, they are removed from congress.
And to get to congress you have to bribe a lot of money to a lot of people, so no one would self destruct after getting in debt before realizing some earnings.
Supreme court justices are not permanent, last only 5 years, no reelections, appointed by congress. So what? Just do the things that need to be done during your 5 years. After that the new congress will place new puppets. If a major scandal is revealed, you’ll be protected by congress, allowed to leave the country with all your money, and forgotten in a few years.
Bribes are illegal, lobbying is illegal. We did it Patrick! Bribery is no more!
You can just get money off the table.
However, here the opposite is argued. Congresspeople and the president should have the highest salaries, so that they wouldn’t have incentives to take bribes (they earn so much, why risk it to get more). But even if they were
Libretube with my own Piped instance, almost flamless. One line setup with docker, Runs perfectly on a 5$ VPS. I haven’t entered youtube in months, there is no reason other that to import suscriptions, channels, etc.
Only problem is for some reason some not-so-popular videos are slow to load on 720p, but load fine in 480p or 1080p. Really weird.
How about “php enables me to code like a moron”, or even better, "php breaks common conventions and forces me to think about every little detail and special edge case, slowing me down if I don’t want to accidentally ‘code like a moron’ "
Nested ternary operators emerge because of the lack of if/switch expressions (which is C fault), so they are “useful” (they shouldn’t be). However, PHP is the only language that treats it as left associative. This has 2 problems:
You are forced to use parenthesis. Some (insane) people might do:
(cond1) ? “A” :
(cond2) ? “B”
: “C”
And it makes sense. Its ugly af, but it makes sense. But PHP now forces you to use more parethesis. It’s making you work more.
It breaks convention. If you come from any other language and use ternary operators, you will get unexpected results. After hours of banging your head against the wall, you realize the problem. And now you have to learn a new edge case in the language, and what to do to actually use the language.
“But you shouldn’t use ternary operators anyway! Use if/switch/polymorphic dispatch/goto/anything else”
True, but still, the feature is there, and its bad. The fact that there are other alternatives doesn’t make the PHP ternary operator worse than other languages’ ternary operator.
PHP works against you. That’s the problem. The ternary operator is not a good example, since there are alternatives. But look at something so simple, so mundane like strpos.
If strpos doesn’t find returns false. Every other language returns -1. And if you then use this value elsewhere, PHP will cast it to 0 for you. Boom, your program is broken, and you have to stare at the screen for hours, looking for the error.
“BuT yOU sHoUlD AlwAyS cHEcK tHe rETurN eRRor!”
And even if that’s true, if we all must check the return value, does PHP force you to do so? Like checked exceptions in Java? Or all the Option & Result in Rust? throws, throws, throws… unwrap, unwrap, unwrap… (Many) people hate those features
