What often happens to me is my chromecast audio doesn't show up on my desktop chrome but does on my other devices and I have to reconnect my computer's wifi and restart the browser for the chromecast to appear. Really wish they have a simple "refresh" button that lets you try checking for more chromecasts.
Expecting a company to discontinue supporting another entity because you disagree with their policies is not a good mindset.
You have to consider the repercussions of bowing down to this way of thinking. Think about how many people would say Planned Parenthood is doing things worse than ICE. Would you want companies that support Planned Parenthood to stop because they offer a politically controversial service?
Or an SJW stance to not want the government creating fake universities with the purpose of entrapping people legally in the US in order to deport them.
Actually - according to the article, prosecutors allege that they were aware of this fact.
However, from the reporting done by the Detroit Free Press (which is the paper of record in metro Detroit), a defense attorney who represented some of the students involved said that ICE even arrested students who realized it was a fraud and tried to transfer out:
> Reddy said, though, that in some cases, students who transferred out from the University of Farmington after realizing they didn't have classes on-site, were still arrested.
This story is far more complex than you're summing it up to be.
> The eight recruiters allegedly helped create fraudulent records, including transcripts, that students could give to immigration authorities. Authorities said in the original charging documents that they collectively accepted more than $250,000 in kickbacks for their work, not realizing that the payments were actually coming from undercover agents who worked for Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE.
According to the article, seven of the eight have already plead guilty.
By your logic, we should also oppose companies that deliver food to ICE. If the children starve, who cares, at least we have the "moral high ground" since the company isn't working with ICE!
Straw man. It's not ICE policy to sexually abuse anyone. Sexual abusers are hidden everywhere. We might as well ban every large organization from GitHub by that reasoning. Yes the children are temporarily separated from their (alleged) parents. That is arguably the right thing to do, as it deters illegal immigration, and protects those children who are being trafficked as sex slaves.
>Lots of people look at a Macbook and see an overpriced computer that costs a few hundred dollars more than a similarly equipped PC, albeit in a pretty case.
I was shopping for a dev laptop about a year or two ago, and it was more like double the price rather than just a few hundred dollars more.
Definitely. A new MacBook pro with 16GB RAM, a decently speedy 512 GB SSD, the basic display, dedicated graphics, and an 2.3 GHz 8 core i9 costs $2.8K [0].
An XPS 15 with 32GB RAM, a decently speedy 1TB SSD, the basic display, dedicated graphics, and a 5.0 GHz 8 core i9 costs like $2.3K [1].
I couldn't customize the XPS enough to do a direct comparison. But the XPS 15 with the almost the same specs as the MacBook other than having an i7 was about 1.6K.
>a custom build of the open-source search engine Solr, a highly responsive UI engineered on top of React, a high performance distributed brokerage system, and cloud-based hosted services with Kubernetes in Amazon Web Services. The primary programming languages are Python, Java, and JavaScript.
I don't know if there's anything inherently wrong with them.
I'm just saying that I don't see any job listings for them as an interviewee, or see any resumes with them as an interviewer. In contrast to other technologies that HN or Reddit declare to be "dead" or "dying", yet actually seem to run the world with no serious disruption on the horizon yet.
Are you in the US? There are TONS of PHP jobs here in the UK (possibly second to JavaScript, although there are a lot of Java jobs too), and I hear that in general PHP is very popular in Europe, whereas Ruby is more popular in the US (some people use ruby here, but not many).
Laravel is not only fine, but one of the best frameworks I've ever used. It's like rails/django, but less opinionated in all the right ways (while still providing loads out of the box). I think PHP has a very bright future.
Laravel and Symphony, in particular, have the terrible code smell of elongated toolchains, that are specific to the frameworks.
> php artisan serve # laravel
> symphony server:start # symphony
Same poor thinking that NodeJS introduced, albeit less offensively integrated.
If you need additional toolchains, you're not using PHP per se, but another meta-language. There's literally no good reason to do this other than to remove the concept of tradeoffs for a "we know better" or "don't worry about it". These frameworks have never added anything that I couldn't do simpler and faster, nor have they provided me with constructive guidance in the design or maintenance of a project.
I can't speak for symphony, but that's just not the way it works in laravel. The "artisan serve" action is used when you want to make a quick demo (maybe). The actual deployment is in an apache server like everything else.
The rest of the actions that use artisan, for the most part, are for creating boilerplate code like database models or empty controllers quickly. They aren't a requirement to use the framework, but are faster and less error-prone than copy/pasting an old empty class file.
The last class of actions that call artisan are for things like cron jobs which you setup once and forget about. Their use case is pretty obvious once you read the manual.

That's nice to hear, but it's probably not true for the majority of people. The entire point for these projects is to allow programmers to create a rapid prototype for design purposes that can then be iteratively developed into a final product. If they don't make sense to you, maybe it's because you aren't working in that space, and not because the tools themselves are lacking.
I doubt it's request headers since that would require the podcast player to set them. Putting it in the URL itself would make it work with every player on the planet.
