  • Wow, something positive about Linux package managers?

    I’ve been hearing nothing but bitching and moaning for the past 10 years for no reason, to the point where I’m suspecting that this is Microsoft sponsoring a bunch of assholes to keep posting negative things about Linux.

    Package managers are awesome and always have been afaiac.





  • Yeah no, Putin is a different story

    He doesn’t give a shit about dead soldiers in body bags. Almost noone in Russia sees that, or if they do they’ll be told som lie about it. Its much simpler than in the US

    You know what’s not simpler? Demographics. As I recently read somewhere, demographics is like a freight train, slow, but all of the sudden you hear this horn bare and you’re splattered under it.

    Putin lost now about a million men of working age. That is a huge gash that will come back to haunt Russia. Not Putin, mind you, he’ll be dead and gone within a few years. Russia, though, is thoroughly fucked for the next decades. It already has low population issues before, and their demographics chart at this point is a fucking rollercoaster. Their population is already relatively old, and with the loss of about a million men, in a country largely dependent on mineral extraction and sale, it will be ugly.

    it’s not really a proper language

    Why, oh true Scotsman?

    It’s slower than compiled languages

    Probably, but it requires a whole lot less work to get something done. One developer pays for 20 big ass servers, so if I have to spin up one or two extra servers over requiring way less developers, that is a no-brainer

    The go syntax is cleaner than PHP

    Go kinda looks/feels like JavaScript to me whereas PHP feels more like C. I find modern PHP syntax to be cleaner than go, but that is a personal opinion. Either way, maintainability has more to do with your developers and coding guidelines than with the language itself.

    With very specific food alternatives, maybe, sure. If you want to go without, I applaud you. Once factory meat comes out, I’ll switch right away. Away with the mistreatment of animals.

    But please don’t be one of those “we’re not omnivores, it was all a conspiracy by the meat industry!” types. Yes, we humans are omnivorous and you’d be begging for a scrap of meat only a hundred or so years ago. Be happy wr live in an age where you actually get to make the decision to finally skip meat and pray we don’t return to those times (not guaranteed with trump now)

    • PHP doesn’t have a built in web server because it doesn’t need one, makes development a whole lot easier as each page is it’s independent process. No worries about memory loss, state corruption, or other issues. IMHO it adds to its security and ease of handling

    • It’s super fast and easy to setup and get going

    • Web sockets work just fine, I use them daily on dozens of servers doing hundreds of requests / sec all day every day

    • They did an audit and found issues? Great, I applaud people searching and finding issues. Shall we do the same for Rust, go, or chuckle JavaScript?

    • You’re unfamiliar.with the language. <<< Yeah, that is the standard reason for hating PHP, it’s not <insert my personal favorite language>
