  1. PHP's ease of use and widespread popularity has certainly allowed for the creation of some very hideous abominations. However, PHP itself doesn't deserve the rapp that was brought on by the "know enough to be dangerous" wannabe programmers.

  2. It's that kind of mentality that has given birth to a plethora of buggy, unmaintainable code that's ridden with security holes.

  3. Re: He sounds like an idiot on Ask Slashdot: Has Your Team Ever Succumbed To Hype Driven Development? (daftcode.pl) · · Score: 2

    Many programmers refuse to open the Pandora's box and they stick to a tool, paradigm or coding style they know even though its not the best thing to solve the problem at hand.

    Precisely the OP's point.

    That's a typical trait of a junior developer, or an experienced developer who has worked solo for most of they're career.

  4. Re: Typical of today's programmer on Spotify Is Writing Massive Amounts of Junk Data To Storage Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    It has very little to do with abstraction layers.

    It's poor implementation, lack of appropriate testing and, in a lot of cases the aforementioned is a result of unrealistic deadlines.

    And yum has nothing to do with taste. And gnome isn't a statue of a dwarf. And gimp isn't a fetish. And bash is a shell, not to be confused with snapping turtles you have to bash to get them to release their ferocious jaws from your writhing hand.

    And "yum" has nothing to do with taste. And gnome isn't a statue of a dwarf. And gimp isn't some weird sex fetish.

  7. Doesn't affect Chrome on Android on Crash Chrome With 16 Characters · · Score: 1

    Chrome v45 for Android is unaffected.

  8. Real World Usage on Ask Slashdot: Switching To a GNU/Linux Distribution For a Webdesign School · · Score: 1

    You should use an OS that can run most modern IDEs, specifically IDEs that are commonly used and (sometimes) mandated in the workplace. Ask some recruiters, I bet they'll have a pretty good idea.

    FWIW, from my experience of 10+ years in the industry, most tech-focused places use OSX as their primary OS.

  9. Re: Under what authority? on Police Shut Down Anti-Violence Fundraiser Over Rapper's Hologram · · Score: 1

    It's a private event, one which you need to purchase a ticket to enter. The rules of *public* free speech do not apply here.

  10. Re: Is semver too simplistic for kernels? on Torvalds Polls Desire for Linux's Next Major Version Bump · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's pretty much the textbook definition of semantic versioning: http://semver.org/

  11. Re: The most insecure OS in the world on Microsoft Fixes Critical Remotely Exploitable Windows Root-Level Design Bug · · Score: 1

    Can't argue with that.

    There was a time when Sun's (now Oracle) Solaris was considered the swiss cheese of operating systems.

  12. Re: Does It Matter? on VirtualBox Development At a Standstill · · Score: 2

    Not many free options for devs on a mac or windows box.

    vmware isn't free. And if you use vagrant, you not only need to pay for a vmware license, but also pay for a license to use the vagrant vmware plugin.

  13. The lesson we can learn is... on An Open Letter To Everyone Tricked Into Fearing AI · · Score: 1

    ...the cake is a lie.

  14. Re: PHP on Over 78% of All PHP Installs Are Insecure · · Score: 2

    Because upgrading PHP breaks shit.

    Like upgrading from Python v2 to v3?

    Unless they plan to change the feature set, offer something node doesn't, they're wasting their time. Another fork "just because I can".

    Wrong. Tor helps to reduce the risks of both simple and sophisticated traffic analysis by distributing your transactions over several places on the Internet, so no single point can link you to your destination. https://www.torproject.org/about/overview

  20. Re: IT security wanna-bees, take note on Programming Languages You'll Need Next Year (and Beyond) · · Score: 0

    PHP has received a lot of grief because inexperienced developers implemented poor and insecure code. It's not a fault of PHP - no more than it would be the fault of C for every buffer overflow exploit.

  25. IDS != Remedy on Heartbleed OpenSSL Vulnerability: A Technical Remediation · · Score: 2

    An IDS provides the means to detect malicious patterns in traffic. It is by no mean a remedy.
