I nearly purchased one last week, then I saw the 12 week lead time. Nope sorry not happening, fix the supply chain, bad management and or labor shortage problem and I may think about it.
1 and or 20 million records is absolute child's play. I recently banged out a php project on codeigniter hitting a db with 20 billion rows. This while having sub second response on the web front end. It is all about designing a system to handle those requirements not the language. I could have just as easily used python, ruby, java, perl and the results would have been the same.
I built a site a few months back using Drupal. I honestly cannot understand the momentum behind it. It was by far the most horrific framework I have ever dealt with.
Oh knock that chip off your shoulder. Granted the OP was just trolling. Just because he writes PHP code does not make him any less of a developer. I have seen trash written in PHP and also very elegant and maintainable code. The same goes for any language, I have just as much if not more wasted time debugging crap C++ and Java code.
Feel free to send me your reject coders I am sure I can pull a few gems out of those. When looking for a programmer I look only for genetic disposition, creativity and the ability to find answers. Most of my interview consists of a coding problem. I sit the person down give them a laptop or they can use theirs. I give them a actual problem to solve in the language of their choice.
1. They have full use of the internet and can use literally anything they wish to come to a solution. Copy and paste, install libraries etc I really could care less as long as they give me a solution.
2. Whiteboard coding is taboo, no programmer I know writes code on paper or a whiteboard. Why on earth would I ask someone to do that.
3. Algorithmic programming? Don't care most of these are well known patterns and a 30 sec google search can come up with a answer. I do not need a cowboy that is going to try to refactor well known patterns or existing libraries just for the sake of doing it.
Women or men really makes no difference either you have what it takes or you don't. I have code to ship and a deadline, how you get to the solution makes no difference to me, the fact that you can and quickly and cleanly is what I care about.
I do not need a statement I "know" exactly what the overhead is. It really becomes a significant issue in high transaction environments. The issue of course has nothing to do with the technical aspects of it but the cost involved with the additional overhead.
I am not even including costs such as the additional maint, configuration requirements, limitations, cert costs etc etc.
Reminds me of a fresh out of college student I interviewed recently. Me, what do you like to do? I like web programming in dreamweaver. Me, like java script, php etc? I like making web pages with dreamweaver. Me, do you program? Sure html and that kind of thing. Me, what is usually the first tag in a basic html document? Blank Stare

sounds like bad wire, I have dug up some horrible looking phone wire in my day and fixed them. Funny the problem just goes away then.

"Republicans have more than 1/3 of the representatives and won't vote to fund anything"
Perhaps they wish to run things like I do in my household, when I am broke I don't spend money I don't have....what a interesting concept.
No, some are fat dumb & lazy I am on a 16th hour today and no I am not complaining.

I have been to just about any and every country you can name. I don't really consider the US to be land of the free, in fact quite the opposite.
They are irrelevant already in my life, job etc as long as it stays that way I am a happy man.

"Besides, Java can leak memory"
Shhhh, java jocks, call them resource leaks.
Yea because that is what is hurting IOS so badly?
Android will always play second string to IOS simply because on a mobile device native code execution is where it is at.
His money is much safer on a Caribbean island than in the hands of the GSA
No they are just the part of the government which is supposed to be the poster child for responsible spending.
Don't worry I cannot think of a single person that is really shocked by any of it.
The GSA is a prime example of why raising taxes on anyone I don't care what class is beyond stupid.
Those VC's are nothing but correct ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is what matters.

I agree what they should have done is remove java entirely.
Increase our budget so that we may study this more.

SSL connections are a great thing however with that comes a great deal of cost and overhead for the server operator.
Simply because python is so damn cool it should be in the title of all articles no matter what the content is.
Excel hatred comes from the poor bastards that have to mop up the mess when a massive system run as excel macros goes to hell.
Excel is a fine tool as long as it is used within it's practical limits.

Or better yet not have to deal with any of that shit and use a language that does not require it.
