Thread: Snake = Sun's heat. Dragon = Old Snake = destructive Sun's heat of the late summer early autumn, which causes drought...

But not in China...Chinese dragon is a rain deity that fosters harmony...Why? Because of Chinese climate...

Dragons appeared in China for the first time during Neolithic...
The Xinglongwa culture (6200–5400BC) https://t.co/d5DuI3BJGu

These guys made first jade dragon rings...
The Hongshan_culture (4700-2900BC) https://t.co/t8tiq3VBsX succeeded Xinglongwa culture.

And they loved dragon rings...So much they became obsessed with them and made pile and pile and pile of them...
Looks familiar? This is the earliest example of Ouroboros: Serpent biting its tail. Remember Dragon (Destructive sun's heat of the late summer) = Old Serpent (Sun's heat). https://t.co/nPGfTBQLs8
Before I saw these Neolithic Chinese Ouroboroses I thought that they appeared for the first time in Ancient Egypt. Did you know that the 4th century AD Latin commentator Servius says the Egyptian use of the Ouroboros symbol to represent the cyclical nature of the year...
So if dragon is the symbol of the destructive heat of the late summer, why is the Chinese dragon "a rain deity that fosters harmony"?

Because this is what the climatic year looks like in North Eastern China: The maximum heat corresponds to maximum precipitation...
The dragon (the hottest sun of the late summer early autumn) really does bring rain...Shit loads of it actually...

Yin (water, down, rain) and Yang (fire, up, sun) in balance and harmony... https://t.co/CXAXhWSDQe
By the way, did I mention that the dragon mad Hongshan culture guys belonged to the paternal haplogroup N-M231??? It is estimated that this was the predominant haplogroup in the region in the Neolithic period at 89%, its share gradually declining over time!!!
Today this haplogroup is most common in Finland, the Baltic states and among northern Siberian ethnicities, such as the Yakuts.

Any Fins here today? What the fuck were you guys doing in China 7000 years ago and what's the story with the "dragon thingy"? 🙂
Well the story is all about the beginning of agriculture and the domestication of millet...But more about it in another thread soon....
Distribution of the N haplogroup today

Maybe now we can assume that November 3 message meant "FUD" nor "FUN". Putting the word in capital letters seems to indicate the aspect the word fud has in our space, FUD. 2/*

Lately there have been various rumours in the media about myself and Jumbo in relation to Williams. To clarify things, Jumbo is not and will not invest any money in my career. 1/2

Of course we’re collectively looking at career opportunities, however this is certainly not our philosophy and strategy. I hope to announce my future plans soon, be patient 😉 2/2

🎉🎉 PHP 7.3 is here!

Here are the things I'm excited about.

🚂 Trailing commas in function/method calls!

This will certainly be a required styling choice for me. Same delightful benefits of trailing comma in multi-line PHP arrays, and JavaScript objects.


🧵 Less disgusting heredoc syntax!

Inlining heredoc strings in any way right now is grrrosssss. Now we get sensible capabilities. Everything that was wrong with it is now fixed!

(Ignore the bad syntax highlighting)


☠️ Finally, not-so-silent json_decode error detection!

This really sucked before, now it just sucks a bit less (who wants to pass a 4th param and pass 2 default params first? (helper function anybody?)


📜 Not horrible functions for getting the first and last item (or key) from an array!

Before you either strung a bunch of functions together or messed with internal array pointers. This is a much-needed improvement.
