That solved a lot of headache geee thanks.


Welcome


okay another interesting answer thanks a lot ! appreciate this . So basically is like WAMP? OR MAMP? When I had a macbook pro I used MAMP and loved it .

but when I downloaded MAMP for windows it said to download a bunch of other Redistributables which took a while and headache lol


wow this is very interesting have you tried it before?

I use to be for big on Ubuntu I used it for a long time is it similar? I'll look into it thanks a lot.


Yes it's awesome, you can install Ubuntu and everything just works. You get access to both file systems from each OS.


thank you.


so is PHP worth learning right now? and what is the job prospect looking like? if I study the language for the next few months what is the lickely scenario I will find a career in it.. I actually enjoy and like PHP unlike other people idk what it is about the languauge it looks fun and enjoyable to play with . Plus it's simple and easy opens doors to more complex languages later on down the road


There will be work for PHP developers for many years to come. It will not be the sexiest work, but you'll get paid to write code, and any day being paid to write code is better than any day not being paid, or a day being paid to do something you don't enjoy.

I stopped coding it professionally almost 20 years ago (!), but it was a great foundation to a ton of stuff, and going back through the release notes and modern frameworks I'm actually thinking I might use it for a few side projects.

Don't let anybody put you off, I say if it appeals to you that you should go and learn it and get some work with it.


> what is the job prospect looking like?

I hope you like working on legacy projects full of spaghetti code.


In that case it really doesn't matter where you work.


I do :) is interesting fixing stuff and turning into something better and more beautiful is rewarding.


If I was looking for a job as a developer, I probably would not go with PHP. But if I had a new saas that I wanted to build and turn I to a business, I would seriously consider using php to get to a rapid mvp.


wow amazing thanks


I don't understand why people eat monkey or bats? if they have all these virus or diseases in them. It's 2020 we have more food in the world than we did years ago no need to eat a bat just grab an apple.


We're talking about a place where this is common practice.

Supposedly the Chinese government is paying for the output from this sewage/gutter oil process (for combustion in power plants) in order to prevent it from ending up in the food supply chain as cooking oil. Attempts at being resourceful can have some unintended consequences/second order effects.

Some people eat crocodiles, horse meat, etc. Eating cows or pigs themselves is pretty weird on itself, especially if you see how they kill and process the animal. The fact that we are used to se things is all that counts.

That being said, viruses were not transmitted by people eating bats. It was a species of cats that got infected by bats. As for cat consumption, well it is very easy to dupe somebody to eat cat meat thinking it is rabbit. That is why in a lot of developing countries when you buy rabbit meat they keep the furry head of the animal attached to the body on the bag so that you can see it is the real thing.


Good points.

In Australia, they also pride themselves on eating kangaroo meat. Can you imagine people eating a little baby Joey kangaroo?

But nobody bats an eye at this, or claim the Australians are backwards for propagating such a practice.


"Little baby Joey kangaroo" I take it you're not from Australia.


I’d rather catch a coronavirus than something like mad cow disease, anthrax, or tuberculosis, which all come from animals westerners eat.


The same reason people eat rabbits or deer and elk, despite the risk of diseases from them. It's 2020, we have more food in the world than we did years ago no need to eat a rabbit just grab an apple.

~ An Epidemiologist Who Really Hates This Bit of Othering That Always Shows Up In Outbreaks


Food is still a large share of many people's incomes. It is not surprising to me that some people may want to eat free or cheaper food, still in 2020. Some of us may have plenty of food - heck many of us have way too much. But if you travel around the world really at all you would quickly understand why some may eat non-commercially produced food.

Also, still in the US people eat animals like squirrels, raccoons or feral pork.


Or cattle and poultry. So you’d probably indeed need to become vegan

any reason why rasberries and strawberries have the words berries in them then?


The word "berry" goes back to proto-Germanic. Outside the context of botany, it means "small fruit". (And even in the 9th century, it meant "small fruit", though at the time it was more strongly associated with grapes than it is now.)

Carl Linnaeus lived in the 18th century. The botanical sense of "berry" developed from the ordinary sense -- almost certainly because someone was investigating "what do all these berries have in common?", and picked a trait that identified the largest number of small fruit.

You can see the same thing happening with "fish". Starfish and jellyfish are not "fish" in a taxonomic sense, but they are things that live in the water. In Chinese, octopuses and crocodiles are also "fish". (章鱼 and 鳄鱼, where 鱼 by itself is "fish".)


In Dutch, whales ("walvis") are fish. But jellyfish and starfish aren't. Squids ("inktvis") are.


Both are red, small, sweet, and grow in bushes and shrubs. It’s fair to assume they’re related. Before science came along.


The world "berry" and "fruit" have both a technical botanist definition, and a culinary definition. Like okra is a fruit from a botany perspective but not a culinary one. If you asked for a fruit smoothie and received an okra smoothie on I imagine you wouldn't be happy.


My gosh - Okra smoothie is actually a thing! That must taste... interesting.

For the same reason Stonehenge have henge in it's name


For reference, the "henge" in Stonehenge means a gallows, and is thought to be a reference to the shape of the structures.

(What do you do on a gallows? You hang.)


Another theory is that it refers to the way the top stone "hinges" on the bottom two. Nobody is certain about the etymology.


interesting you mention filesystems earlier my pc was saying /dev/sda2 contains a file system with errors.

I googled and did fsck I think and some other code fixed the problem but don't actually know what happened just google helped me fix it.


thank you
