As someone that used PHP professionally for literal decades, the PHP hate is so meme-y.

Its biggest problem is that it allows you to do some truly cursed things. The same can be said about other languages, but PHP really doesn’t do much to set you up for success, especially as a new-intermediate coder.

With opcache, it became fast enough for basically most web backends, and as a language overall it does seem to be evolving and shedding off some of the crap that used to make it truly horrible in the hands of a new person. At least the type-juggling stupiderrors

Now I mainly use go and python (only because I have to on this one), and I would put Python and PHP on a similar level of “fuck this language” moments

Only people supporting legacy regret.

Ruby was never good. It just got memed enough to make it way into some medium business

The SOB knew he was dying long before the public found out and still voted 100% with Trump, like a real piece of shit.

Except not true

I’m not saying he gets a pass, but he was closer to the Democrat’s “vote with Trump” number than most of the rest of the republicans.

Weekend at Feinstein’s

Great. Just let me know when all those homosexuals the Church is so accepting of are allowed to receive any sacraments.

“I greet the pilgrims from Slovakia and, through them, I wish to express my appreciation to the entire Slovak Church, encouraging everyone to continue their efforts in defense of the family, the vital cell of society,”

Seems pretty straightforward…

This is a patently absurd comparision

I don’t even like Apple, but when you talk about their mobile ecosystem (mainly looking at phones/watches) here, Android is laughably behind at this point.

• Apple devices last stupid long.
• First one here counts for both batteries and vendor support. This is for the worst reason, the walled garden, but it works. There have been a few times I realized my magsafe charger was unplugged… for three days in a row. But my battery was rolled into about 5% at the end of the third day and dozens of hours of SoT.
• The 2021 OS release supported 2015 phones. Current OS is to 2017 phones. Point out any major Android vendor still supporting their 2017 phones until at least mid 2024.
• I was a devout Android worshipper. I twrp’d, greenified, rooted, removed any social media apps, etc and everything else. And then I realized I hated having to do that to make it with a device that would have over 50% battery by lunch.
• I grew up. I went from loving to tweak with my phone all the time, to just wanting it to reliably work.
• One of my most important pieces of tech is my watch. I use it for payments, travel, access, and everything else. And the Apple watch versus ANY OTHER ANDROID offering is the reason I will never use Android again. Shit just works. Mindlessly. And never has downtime.

I use linux on my desktop and laptop, but iPhone is the only phone that matters.

Have you been listening???

In Slovakia, gay adoption AND marriage was on a referendum, and weirdly enough, Francis threw his support because against it. To “preserve the family”

1. “Let’s think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings. Let’s think also of genetic manipulation, of the manipulation of life, or of the gender theory, that does not recognize the order of creation.”

So “kill a few million people with nukes” is the same as “gender theory”

2. “The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life.”

God loves you but you ain’t equal. Homosexuality is a sin, but not a crime. You are welcome in the Church, but you are also immoral and going to hell.

Sheesh, I was worrying a bit there. At least I’m not violating the laws of man.

except he did this as a reaction to Catholics leaving in a manner that is basically HEMORRHAGING numbers.

This is adapt or die reaction, not adapt because it’s the right thing to do. Let them die.

And you think someone with the Olympic-level of narcissism that Trump has put their real weight on there? That’s really the point

Yes

This is REALLY not the case everywhere.

Toss in like 3 streaming services, which is pretty typical coverage for what most people want to watch, you are at cable costs.

And I dunno if you’ve been in an Uber lately in a larger city in the US, but literally in the last year we’ve gone from people driving nice clean modern cars, to people driving late 90s/early 00s hoopties that are dirty, stained, and don’t have AC, smell like whatever thing was in there before, etc.

and you told the truth?

feels like a bit of a strawman.

arguing that you can’t use the client without the license for the server… on the same machine, is silly. There’s tons of utility with the client even if you don’t have the server license locally, especially if you ever use the Remote Desktop Client remotely.

So what would you like from them?

At this point it’s a mea culpa. Even with the expected goofy angle. That’s at least 1000 times better than what basically any other multi-multi million dollar corporation would say or do.

Or is your only concern having a target for outrage?

I’m not saying they are forgiven, but it’s more than basically anybody else. And should the pressure stop? Also no.

This is an interesting take considering vendors regularly do sell addons related to sms, blocking, etc

He’s never gonna leave. He’s like a bedbug

As someone that fits this bill perfectly, and considered tossing my hat in the ring, I kind of agree with this person.

While I may not agree with the phrasing and hostility, the point still stand that they are effectively looking for Senior Level + DevOps.

And 5 hours a week will turn into 30+ as the person or persons takes over ownership of the required pieces.

My main holdup is just having enough time personally.

I notice you didn’t actually respond, just pulled out some classic logical fallacy.

I’m not absolving the armorer here.

You don’t like the cars vs guns analogy, fine. I was just making it relatable to righties.

If you put something in my hands that is capable of killing a person, I’m going to be 100% sure of how not to kill a person with this thing.

Maybe it’s a firework. The armorer has told me that when I light it, I have exactly 5 seconds to ditch it so I don’t hurt anybody. The armorer is fully culpable here when the firework goes off in 1 second and blows off my hand. I am culpable when I take said firework, and throw it into the unsuspecting crowd. We are both culpable when the firework goes off early AND is tossed into the unsuspecting crowd.
