A very sound observation, and for the most part, you're right. Let's break this down into a common denominator: everyone wants to use their free will to decide for themselves what's right and wrong. Such thinking only causes people to feel they must dominate others for their own benefit. Now, I know not everyone agrees with such beliefs, but I do believe that this is the result of mankind trying to live independently of a God; yes, you may not believe in God and that's fine, not trying to enforce beliefs like the religious nut jobs out here on the internet, but after careful consideration of Bible principles, these are the things that people are just not doing: they don't show love for others, they don't have unity of mind (especially in a spiritual sense), and they don't limit their lifestyle according to a strict set of physical, moral, and spiritual standards, preferring to push such boundaries to fit their own selfish desires. So what we are seeing is two extremes developing as a result of not doing those things: either people are extremely conservative, forcing others to follow their rules and traditions, or people are extremely liberal, allowing permission of any and all lifestyles or choices even if in the long run, such choices are not beneficial at all. My point in the end is that for there to be peace and harmony, there has to be unity, not just physically but mentally. Yes life is meant to be enjoyed according to the way you see fit but there are some choices that are simply not beneficial at all. Absolute freedom is not good for mankind, it must be limited. But at the same time, we do have free will, and that must be respected regardless of whether people do things you don't like.

@animalntelligence3170 Agreed on the notion of changes. Let me tell you something, as a 29 year old working a tech job from home, even we are starting to feel a little threatened with Artifical Intelligence now getting closer to automating our programming jobs, so really, no job is ever secure. The real problem from my perspective is that people are not becoming adaptable, but many would rather instead blame their misfortunes on others (saying the government is not providing enough jobs, companies outsourcing, blaming it on foreigners). In other parts of the world, when things get though, people will work any job to get by; I've seen old men walk around selling ice cream and popsicles out of a mobile ice chest; it doesn't get them much but it's enough for food and electricity back at the house. The point is, if we are to survive, we need to become industrious and not become overly reliant on others to handle our problems for us. True, we can't avoid all economic problems and sometimes we do have to get closer to cities to find work, but that's part of being adaptable and providing for our families. It's all a balance: know when to be adaptable but also know when to seek help when things are dire.

@ERTChimpanzee En contraire, the very existence of all things, especially humans, proves that there is a God because all creation reveals very specific designs and thoughtfulness. If God didn't exist, all matter would just be disorganized an mere chunks of elements floating without purpose, but instead, when we observe things such as plants, animals and humans, we see organization, intelligent design and harmony of coexistence of living beings and elemental systems, which means someone is behind all of this (Romans 1: 20). Just like a house is built by someone, so too are all other creations built by a God. No house has ever been created from nothingness so these planets and its living beings weren't also just appearing from nothing.

DemolitionRanch, this is by far one of your most well made demonstrations you have done. It's fairly well documented in my opinion. I think some of us would have not been surprised about the results for one particular reason. See, when using a small firearm in combat, and you're (hypothetically speaking) shooting at people that are running at you in a straight line, you won't kill them all with one bullet, you would mostly just kill one, and maaaaybe injure the second one behind him. So why would that be similar to the water jugs? Because, if we remember from a basic anatomy class in school, our bodies are 90% water, which means that firing bullets at water jugs would be roughly similar to that of shooting at an enemy person. Anyways, nice vid!

You think that was the only bad thing about Apple? There's so much more to it than that:
1. Apple no longer makes user repairable computers. You're either forced to pay for the repair program they have, which is expensive, or you have to buy a whole new computer. You can't swap out RAM, hard drives, or just about anything else on it (maybe the battery?). They do the same thing for iPhones.
2. Not only can you not publish apps outside of their app store, but you can't build iPhone or Mac OS apps unless they are built right on a Macbook Pro or Mac computer. This is because their software development app (X Code) is directly integrated to their operating system and thus cannot work on Windows or Linux computers. I find this absolutely irritating because Android has done a far better job providing a cross-platform app development program (Android Studio) that works well across Windows, Mac, and Linux, thanks to JetBrains. This means that if you want to build apps for Apple, you have pay $99 a year to register as a developer, pay for one of their outrageously overpriced machines (or pay an online subscription from a company that provides a Mac server where you can just quickly build the app in question), which is pricey too, and on top of that they still have the audacity to ask that 30% cut for app sales/in-app purchases.
3. For Apple's computers, if you're not a software developer, you may not be aware that Apple now builds their own CPUs (called M1, M2, etc.) instead of using Intel or AMD processors. While they are in their right to do this, this has broken a lot of software across the industry and left everyone scrambling to update their apps to support these new processors. Even though this is almost fixed everywhere, who isn't to say they will do it again, creating a much more powerful processor while breaking compatibility?
4. In iPhones, you can't even swap components such as the cameras when trying to repair. A recent video shows that swapping cameras between two identical, brand new iPhones causes the camera app to now work correctly at all.
All of these things have led me to take a stand against Apple and not support any of their products at all. I no longer build apps for Apple, nor do I use their computers. I now use the highly praised Framework laptop which is a fully repairable laptop, with Ubuntu (linux) as the operating system. You will not confine me to your ecosystem!

You and me both! The only way I can win the battles is by forcing Class components where possible, using a sensible state management system (no Contexts, I don't want giant component trees looking like bird wings), separating concerns as much as possible, keeping components small, and organizing code in functional components so that variables are the top, followed by closure functions (functions that don't need the outer scope get tossed out of the component or in another file), then effects, then any logic for data transformation, and finally the render. People need to learn standards, for god's sakes!

@jondoe6608 PHP definitely still a valid choice. I personally am trying to move on from interpreted languages to compiled ones for the sake of making higher performance apps by default while looking into more cross-platform development and covering more use cases. For that matter, my current stack is looking like this: TypeScript (Svelte, Vue) for front end, Go for back end, and Dart/Flutter for mobile, with a bit Kotlin for native android apps and Python for extra use cases (data science, utilities, libraries not found in go, etc.), and I'm hoping to replace Python and Kotlin with C# but that will entirely depend on how MAUI performs... but anyways, for anyone strictly working on web development, it's an exciting time to get into PHP. Version 8 has had a vast number of improvements and it has the potential to break out of web use cases into other things now.

JS Kiddies, buckle up, I'm gonna tell you my honest opinion about PHP and why I like it:
- PHP > Python and JS: Its syntax is just easier to read. Yes people hate the $ but honestly it points out variables more quickly
- PHP is arguably the fastest of all the interpreted languages. According to TechEmpower benchmarks, raw PHP is almost as fast as C++
- I like that PHP is multiparadigm but it leans in favor of OOP, especially from 7.4 onwards. You can pass around functions (defined as Closures) and you can pass in higher scoped variables into said Closures, but the syntax is not as convenient as JS, which is fine because it's a lot easier to define static functions for a class and pass those around or call them instead; I think this leads to cleaner, more readable, organized code. Namespacing is a big thing part of that.
- PHP now has Fibers, the equivalent of Python threads and JS workers, so I don't see any reason these two have any advantage over PHP here.
- There is no reason to use the templating syntax that PHP comes with out of the box. You can just use Twig, which is a common template language in other ecosystems.

My thoughts on this video:
The refutal against the flat earth notion that the Earth has edges because Job 38:14 specifies it is that Isaiah 40:22 describes the Earth as a circle and Job 26: 7 specifies that the Earth is suspended upon nothing (floating in space). Mind you that these verses were written thousands of years before Galileo and others even proposed the idea of a round earth but when you look at these scriptures and compare it to the scientific evidence, the Earth was being described as a globe this whole time. So what this means for Job 38: 14 is that the Earth "took shape like" a clay in the sense that it was transformed into what it is now, not that it literally was formed to have edges nor did it come to be as if someone was using pottery tools. This was merely a figure of speech; Job was likely looking at the Earth spinning the way clay/pottery spins in a pottery wheel.
As for refuting the notion that the Bible is not a book of science, it's true that the Bible doesn't focus much on science but what little scriptures it has on that subject remain accurate to our understanding of the Earth and its spherical shape. This gives us reason to trust the Bible if one is to follow its principles.
The lady that said she converted to flat-earth movement, to be honest, I think that because she lost her husband and has been looking for ways to grieve, it's possible that this woman uses the flat-earth movement as a way to hold on to "a piece of him". When we lose loved ones, it's always a shock and a tragedy to us because it destroys our reality and our physical mind has to rewire our neurons to deal with this sudden change in reality, so when trying to grieve, she must have sought comfort by trying to believe in Flat Earth as if in a way it would help her feel connected to her late husband.
I feel like I'm always the only one sitting between both groups because both groups in my opinion, are not looking at things correctly.

@SuperSilverJay Preparing lesson materials for the week.... now, I'm no expert, but can't some of that stuff be automated? In the tech industry, when building software, we don't build it entirely from scratch, we build it using what's called frameworks, not to mention third party packages of code that we can put together to build things quickly. In that same line of thought, what if teachers had a framework for lesson plans, where they could go online, find specific coursework for whatever lessons they're teaching, and only customize the parts they need rather than them figuring it out on their own. As for the manual stuff, like printing worksheets or somethings of that nature, I'd say have the kids copy the problems down from the board using their own paper.

I stand with Spotify. For over 30 years, the will of the people has been to share music without the burden of having to break the bank to buy music. That's not to say that the artist doesn't deserve their rightful compensation, but that we as a society must achieve an equilibrium where the artists do get paid properly while the consumer can enjoy their music with little to no cost in the first place. Remember, music is an art, and art is meant to be enjoyed, not monetized. Spotify now gives us that platform to connect to artists more freely than ever before, and Spotify also deserves to be compensated fairly for the gargantuan sized platform that they built. The real villains here are Apple, Sony, Universal, and Warner, the greedy buffoons who are destroying music as an art while siphoning as much money as possible. Destroy them all!

@Luke-wh9pw Many religious teachers think that it is enough to just "talk to god" and that's it, but that is a very superficial answer. According to John 17:3, you have to "come to know God". What does that mean? It means learning about Him, what he likes, dislikes, what he expects of us and then living according to his standards by applying Bible principles. It's like a friend: you first get to know his name, then figure out what the person likes and dislikes, and how you can continue to develop that relationship with them. Yes, prayer is necessary, but so is reading the Bible, but with purpose. Examine historical accounts, why God did this or did that and understand the lessons that are being taught. Then apply those lessons in your life and pass on what you learn to others, so that they too can have everlasting life on Earth as the scripture points out

15:57 - Absolute trash, soy, L take
On another note, I'm really glad we are talking about this, just based on the content and the Twitch comments I saw. I feel like this is something that all of us as developers need to balance out well, the choice of what language to use based on what we like vs what gets the job done.
For example, I don't like using Java. I don't hate Java itself (it's really come a long way and paired with Kotlin it's nice), but I just don't like the ecosystem around it (using XML for configs, hard to read docs for so many things, Spring/Hibernate is a nightmare). That said, the devs that have been in that side of the web dev field don't care about your petty feelings and they will continue to use Java because it's efficient for them and it works well for their use cases. I still won't use Java but if that ever has to be a project requirement, if I have leverage, I could at least advocate for a stack that works well for what I want, like: JOOQ query builder, Koin dependency injection, Javalin framework, and use Kotlin where I can.
Rather than choosing stacks because we like them or because they're popular, we should be choosing stacks that make us feel productive. Go is such a language for that. That's why my default stack now is Go (back end), TS/Svelte (front end), and Dart/Flutter (mobile, desktop, cross-platform), maybe Python if machine learning is involved.

Well to be honest, music, in an ideal world, shouldn't be something you sell. It's almost like selling air to someone: it's a rip off. But talented individuals deserve support for their hard work in this system of things. What's dumb is that they take it too far and try to get rich off of this way of making money. If I were a musician, I want to make money through music to support myself and my family , not to have a luxurious life.
Also, music seems to focus more on the person singing it rather than the message. It's something that many singers have long forgotten. Many are focused on presenting themselves, trying to be famous, trying to sing music that grabs attention for all the wrong reasons. As a singer, I would rather sing to make a statement, to inspire, to motivate, and even to denounce. The message in music should be emphasized more. That is why I prefer rock over all other forms of music, because I feel that is where the true talent really lies.

On the "making life" conversation, agreed. I know a lot of us don't wanna go down that rabbit hole because we're not religious, and indeed this is a conversation that on some level requires talking about religion, but as a person that IS religious, we do have to look at the fact that we simply can't create life, we can only reproduce life from pre-existing life in accordance to current laws of science. For the ones that make the argument that we have already created life with synthetic cells, all that proved is that the complexity it took to create such cells required intervention by another person. This is in line with the fact that our biological substances, such as DNA, proteins, and enzymes, can't exist without each other, pointing to the fact that something had to have put them together to be able to coordinate and create new cells. For me at least, that points to the requirement of someone intervening to make life possible.

I've tried a few of them. Directus shines when you have an existing database with a custom schema that you don't want the CMS to alter, but you can always start from scratch too. The admin panel can be extended with custom plugins/pages made with Vue components. Strapi works primarily with data models but has an opinionated way of creating the database tables; I would say it's the best one for people who want to replace Wordpress. It also has a plugin system, but this one is based on React. Both Directus and Strapi support Markdown editors. Then there's Wagtail if you prefer a Python backend. That one is decent and can be customized with Django configurations, but the admin interface can be confusing on your first try; took me a while to figure out how to actually set up the API routes for my SSG, which are not available out of the box. Finally, if you must use PHP, there's SilverStripe, which is neat because it actually can be coded like a normal OOP back end framework, or you can just use the admin panel instead. Strapi also has the ability for you to code your data models instead of using the admin panel. SilverStripe, Strapi, and Directus also allow you to define custom API controllers like you would use in a normal web framework.

Wishlist for Fleet:
- God tier support for TypeScript, Dart/Flutter, Golang, Python, and C#
- At least some basic support for Swift (come on, I want to write great swift apps without being tied to Apple)
- Better indexing and autocompletion of Python modules, as compared to VS Code.
- Vue/Svelte support out of the box
- Vite/PostCSS (Tailwind) integrations when starting a new web application project
- Support for common databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis) out of the box (Clickhouse a plus)
- TODO outlines
- advanced project management
- API client for testing

Agreed. To a small extent this is already happening. Take a look at Fortnite. This is a videogame where you battle against 99 other people and there's a bunch of little kids playing there (why their parents allow them, idk), not to mention you can voice chat with others here, but now it's slowly expanding to become a social hub for crossover events (concerts, trailers, etc.). Kids seeing the metaverse may take a liking to it because it's similar to Fortnite or other similar platforms. Now, this isn't to say you need to take a conservative mindset and tell them to avoid it all together. It just means that, like the real worlds, we must not introduce them to things they should see at a young age, then as they get older, educate them on how to use the metavers properly, just as they would need to know how to take care of themselves in the real world.

There's a few problems that cause this in the first place:
- Everyone needs to stop making the umpteenth JS framework; Just rally behind one, but for sure it should not be React as it doesn't help polish the fundamentals of web development
- We need to focus on programming languages that cover as many use cases as possible so we are not jumping around ecosystems. JS may be one but JS is also a terrible language. Great alternatives are C#, Kotlin, Dart, and possibly Go (although UI development is not good with this one). By just focusing on one or two languages that cover most cases, there's lest cognitive overload
- We need to stop making so many libraries and use stdlibs or creating our own code for utilities wherever possible where it's not too time consuming.
- Companies need to stop hiring by framework and hire instead by field (are you a front end dev, back end, full stack, mobile, data analyst, game dev.... well ok game dev is a bit more extreme as the whole job revolves around the game engine chosen). The point is, just because a guy knows one framework doesn't mean he can't work with another one.

Miracles only seem like miracles because you can't explain what just happened or it seems impossible to us. You should know divine miracles do not happen anymore. According to 1 Corinthians 13: 8, it is stated that "if there is knowledge, it will be done away with" along with prophesying and other abilities. People who claim that they perform miracles or other supernatural things, or even witness them are not seeing something being performed by God because such things do not happen anymore. This is because we have the Bible to read about everything there is to know about God for our time; we have complete knowledge available to us, so there is no need for miracles, only faith that in the future, this world will be rid of pain and suffering. Honestly, who knows what this officer experienced. When people experience these "miracles" nowadays, it's usually something related to our minds being affected by environmental factors, drugs, or wicked spirits.

@ThePrimeTime there's a few problems with implementing this take. To be competitive with job hunting, you need to know more than one language. Most of the jobs are in JS, Python, Java, C++ and so forth. From there, some of these languages I don't really like working with, I much prefer Dart, Go, and Kotlin, but the opportunities to work with these languages (or just one's preferred ones) can be so low that you're forced to follow the industry, even if you try advocating for using newer languages. So the point is, in this industry, unless you adhere to JS, Python, Java, or C++, you can't become a master on the language you want to work with. It always ends up about being adaptible to what the jobs give you vs being allowed to work with what you want.
Also, this is a good take, but the writer can be a real scumbag. He's the type of person who insults people for using TS instead of JS for no good reason even though TS has clearly become the better approach to writing code faster and with less bugs.

Wishlist for next year's survey:
1. Stop using React
2. Seriously, STOP USING REACT
3. Push up more Flutter, Go, and Svelte adoption
4. If you must work with JS, at least use TS, so let's push that above JS
5. Give more love to PHP, but destroy Wordpress in the process
6. Let's see if Python devs can try out other languages that are just as suitable for their needs (Elixir, Julia, Go)
7. Convert more Java devs to Kotlin devs, or at least simplify the Java ecosystem (no more XML-config based programming)
8. Tie more languages to Web Assembly
9. Less Kubernetes, more simplified deployment tools
10. Keep VS Code on top, but hopefully Microsoft starts using Tauri instead of Electron. Otherwise, looking at JB Fleet.

Regarding the apple prerogative, in an ideal world, everyone uses the same "system" and develops for the same hardware and it's all efficient (unless you need a specialized computer for a very specific use case). That said, I have vehemently opposed apple's walled-garden approach for many reasons that go beyond development:
- They overprice their products, which means if they ever get 100% control of the market, lower-income families have less access to tech resources.
- The way they build their computers is without the ability for us to repair them ourselves.
- To build apps for their system, we are forced to buy their hardware. Not unlike Windows were they have first-class frameworks (Win UI 3, WPF, etc.) but we can build with Python and friends, download directly and install without having to go through a store.
- Most importantly, because of this prestige that they portray through their marketing, they are promoting a cultist attitude where if you don't own apple products, you are inferior.
For these reasons, I oppose apple, and it would be better to force them to change their walled-garden policy.

Ok so my take on Ad Blockers is that, although I understand the importance of ads to help pay content creators, I still have to use it because ads cause two major issues: horrible user experience, and lag! So many ads are distributed in disruptive ways, such as pop ups, large banners, or overlays that take over the entire page. One horrible example is how there was one ad that, if you scroll to a part of the page, the ad zooms out the page and shows a huge frame around the page with tickets for a show or something simlar. It was disgusting, especially when it messes with my scrolling. Videos are even worse! YouTube and Facebook no longer care for UX; they allow random placement of ads in the middle of videos, disrupting my viewing experience. I get extremely annoyed every time this happens! I no longer use the YouTube mobile app because of this. Then with performance, there are some ads, whether, static, animated, or video type, that somehow manage to consume so much memory and ram, it once crashed the page I was watching. On an older laptop, a video ad was hogging so much memory, it crashed my entire computer!
I'm sorry, I want to really support content creators that deserve to be compensated, but I will indiscriminately block all ads no matter where it comes from, as a statement that internet ad platforms and websites that show ads need to change their user experience and stop disrupting what I watch. The only ad platform that does well in this is Carbon Ads, which usually displays ads about tech related tools and are very minimal; they don't get in your way. If only Carbon Ads displayed ads for all websites.
