This has existed for so long though, through `__get`, `__set` and other methods, the ArrayAccess interface, the `__call` and `__callStatic` methods.

This way, at least, it's much more explicit. And this should probably only be used inside frameworks anyway, and not in "user-land" code.

In France, matrices are taught in an optional mathematics class for students that want to go further.

You should look at `func_get_args()` usage in the wild. This is sometimes used for (mostly outdated) good-enough reasons and doing this might break it?

Quantum cryptography, not post-quantum cryptography, would allow schemes in which the store now, decrypt later attack is impossible.

> Cats are about 2 feet that means six times there height would be about 12 feet. That would be a very terrifying cat

Yes it would. There's something wonderful about the paths that a mind that hasn't been fully toned the way society wants it to explores.

Well done.

It's a great product, but I don't need it from them. I bought a protonmail subscription, not a Proton subscription.

(Paying customer) I wish they would focus more on their existing product(s). There's a huge synergy between Calendar and Mail, but Drive, Pass, VPN, are useless (but the VPN is well-done). There's still no Caldav support or scheduling, and a lot of things are annoying in Mail, of course some of these are hard to solve with E2E, but at this point, their E2E claim is also half-baked and mostly for marketing, why not fix all of things?

What's the rationale behind releasing yet another half-baked product?

His latest project (https://pioneer.app/) recently (this year I think) got shutdown. I guess he's pivoting.

It's a really nasty feeling to live in a society influenced by politicians in power with ideas so far away from my own, while also having little influence over their decisions, unless I give up what I like doing and go into lobbying (or politics, which seems to me like the poor man's lobbying)

I've sent an e-mail to the permanent representative in the country I live in, but I feel particularly blindsided knowing about such a decision on the same day it is voted. And angry for all the people, especially journalist friends, that are out there and unaware of what's going on.

I'm not sure this is what democracy is supposed to feel like, but if it is, it feels like shit.

It took me 5 minutes to realize that this isn't PyPi the package manager but PyPy, an interpreter for python.

This was very confusing, especially because they mentionned pipx, which seems related to PyPi, so it was plausible this was about PyPi.

There are a lot of arguments of authority and _0_ empirical evidence, apart from "I've spent 30 years of my life on it"... There are no sources!?

And then, there are things that jump out to me as false, that could be true, but because the author cites ZERO sources, it's unclear if he's ignorant after 30?! years of research or has an interesting insight.

It's so unscientific, and it's sloppy useless writing like that that makes some people say that the social sciences aren't sciences.
