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

Weekend at Feinstein’s

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.

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.

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.

… okay, but at what point do you take some personal responsibility??? Blindly saying “it was the armor’s job description” is fantastically silly.

Dealership sells me the car in working and safe condition, I take said car and drive it into a crowd of people. Dealer is guilty?

I’m not absolving the armorer at all. She has a PILE of cupability here. But to absolve the actor of all responsibility and fault is ridiciulously misguided.

Because you are being obtuse on purpose.

Are you saying that when someone puts a deadly weapon in your hands, you are instantly absolved of all responsibility for it because it’s someone else’s responsibility? Oh, they didn’t TELL me the knife was sharp.

That’s deliberately and painfully obtuse.

How’s that genocide of a million and change First Nations people treating you?

except, in a conversation about moralism, it’s a bit like Mao, Stalin, and Hitler all sitting at a table and Mao and Stalin ganging up on Hitler and judging his actions as reprehensible

How does less of a subscriber base lead to way more expensive price? Unless the dev is greedy and wanting to suck the souls of all the early adopters.

Ultimately if they aren’t completely “yes people”, then they are long gone.

He’s below his height of wealth, but he’s still #1 and has 250 billion

While I’m the same and agree, I’m certainly loving the drama and downfall of that toolbag.

Just like anywhere else, it’s know your audience.

People like to pretend they are hyper privacy/anti-Google focused, but then give over their entire life and capture what they had for dinner on FB and instagram

To each their own.

Every couple of years I try firefox, and it doesn’t take me long to be disappointed. Usually just some random incoherent firefox incompatibility with a major feature like logging in on a site or something.

Not since the last time they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar,

So if my information is out of date, whoops. But they are still scumbags, particularly with that CEO
