Lead PHP Developer Quits
Jasper Bryant-Greene writes "Jani Taskinen, one of the lead developers of the Zend Engine (the engine that powers PHP), as well as a lead developer for the thread safety system and other core components of the PHP project, has quit in a relatively cryptic message to the php-internals mailing list. Jani has been involved with PHP for about 6 years and his loss will undoubtedly be a big blow for the PHP project."
That sound he hears behind him is a bridge been thoroughly burnt to a crisp.
PHP is one of several languages that GNU/Linux could do without. Python and Ruby are others. None of them provides capabilities beyond C, C++, Shell, Gawk, Perl, or scheme. Don't be tempted to use them. They simply divert effort that would be better applied elsewhere.
an ill wind that blows no good
I never spent 6 years with the same people, job, hobby, women, whatever...
Sounds like it was more that no one could stand to spend more than 6 years with you.
Thanks for pointing out that Zend is based in Israel.
I shall no longer talk to anyone that uses php.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
Maybe the UN should stop putting their peacekeeprs in such a idiotically dangerous situation. Maybe the UN peacekeepers should stop being such fucking idiots and stop trying to "keep the peace" while an active shooting war is happening. UN! GET THE FUCK OUT! We'll call you when we need a clean up on aisle 10.
But Isreal is targeting civilians even on purpose. For example, destroying the houses where suicide bombers have lived is a collective punishment which is a war crime (as well as many other things Israel does routinely, like forcing palestinians as tying palestinians on the the jeeps and using them as human shields). The persons who suffer because of it, are not just the bomber but his family and neighbours who have had nothing to do with the bombing. And in case of Lebanon, Israel army has said that for each rocket that lands Israel, they are going to destroy 10 Lebanese apartment buildings as an revenge. And don't say that much of the land of palestinians has been returned. That is simply not true. just a tiny part of Gaza has been returned to palestinians, but nothing else. And Israel is still controlling that area with iron grip Israel has returned some destert to Egypt, but that is separate issue. There are still millions of palestinians refugees. And until the ethnical cleansing done by Israel is resolved in a fair way, there won't be peace. Arab countries have offered Israel a peace on the condition of Israel withdrawing behind the borders before 1967 war, but Israel has refused this offer and is constantly and illegally building illegal outposts to the occupied territory and same time preventing palestinians building houses there even though palestinian populations is growing and desperately needs more houses.
That IRC log paster is a really interesting guy indeed. If some guys didn't write background info, you would assume we are dealing with a complete nazi developer here.
I really wonder the "back" of that log. What kind of provocation by some fanatics made him write those.
Also how many spies Israel has on IRC channels, logging and keeping logs for future.
It would be more fair to say that 9/10 of the killed were from Lebanon. The bias of USA media in middle-east affairs amazes me often. (I'm from Finland/Europe)
You must have answered the wrong message there.
A more probable explanation is that you're just some kid in your parent's basement, you've gotten away with anonymous Internet libel before, and you don't have first hand experience with consequences.
The discussion started about a Nazi who quit working for a company because it was owned Jews. Godwin's law has no relevance, except in reverse, because the fact was initially hidden.
