  • I'm not the one you asked, but what I like isn't really about PHP itself, but the fact that I can get dirt cheap hosting with PHP and MySQL. Every time I want to create a small "app" that makes some manual task easier it's very useful to create something I can access from the internet.

    Python is really useful for stuff like that too, but (in my experience) not as easy and cheap to use as an web app.

    For example I go to dinner with some friends every month and we always forget who's turn it is to choose and book a restaurant. So I just made this PHP page that shows the current and next 2 months with a name. So we always use that to see who's turn it is.

  • Bedankt ik kende de term niet, maar blijkbaar ben ik (in Nederland) in de meerderheid

    In onderzoek van het Centrum voor Leesonderzoek uit 2013 werd "dokteres" herkend door: 42 % van de Nederlanders; 85 % van de Vlamingen.[1]

  • I was thinking this as wel, we have an entire generation that is poorer than the previous one, something that you basically never see in history.

    Also it seems that politics has gone utterly insane. At some point I feel left vs right was about money. Should we help the poor and take more from the rich or should we lower taxes etc.

    Now it's about wokeness, crazy conspiracies, actually supporting Russia (like wtf happened there), etc.

  • No you're not, the post was editted. The original one said it was all because of AI, the entire reason for the API change was to sell to AI companies.

    Edit, now I'm in doubt, because if you edit a post that is shown somehow right?

    Edit2, just to be clear my point is that Reddit content was never free, before and after the API change. It's easier to get the content with a decent API, sure. But it was never free, just like the lawsuit the NY Times started.

  • Don't get me wrong what Israel is doing is absolutely horrible and should be stopped.

    But what I don't really see in the comments is the question (and answer) what should they have done after the horrible attack Hamas did? I don't have the answer myself.

    When something similar happend in the States (911) the response was to invade 2 countries and a 20 year long war.

    Edit to people saying how wrong I am even Biden mentioned it https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/18/joe-biden-urges-israel-not-be-consumed-by-rage-pledges-support-netanyahu-gaza-hamas

  • Is it? Because when you build a bot and just scrape Reddit I don't think you can just use the content to train AI, just like the New York Times. The API change was definitely to sell more ads and get a higher IPO, but I don't think it was because of AI.

  • If you don't have 400 in savings and live paycheck to paycheck how can you borrow 400? Like how can you pay that back? It still seems really weird, and if you can somehow pay it back, why didn't you save a small amount before the car broke down?

  • Does that mean that your credit score is determined by companies? Or is the credit score something the government calculates for people?

    I think in the Netherlands if you want to get a mortgage, the bank looks at your income, other loans you have, etc and they determine on rules the government set how much you ca borrow. There is a register for people that fail to pay bills, but it's not something you get on easily, you really need to fail a lot.

  • Why do you use credit cards in the first place? As a non American I never really understood that. Why doesn't America just have the "normal" (from my perspective) bank cards that just let you use money from your bank account. Why do you need to borrow and pay back? It seems like such a weird system, not just weird also dangerous, where you can end up in debt.
