Never claimed to be an expert, and my statements were language agnostic.
My point was if he's tired of working with other people's code he should write his own, and use that. If that means moving to a new language and using that, so be it.
I've made a living writing custom software, and while I use PHP where it's appropriate, it's not the only language on my tool belt.
Actually, many Christians are for research, however, the problem you find is that the "holy than thou" religious (includes pretty well all faiths and not just Christianity) especially if they are in power and against science unless it agrees with their book of fairy tales.
In my experience, and perhaps it's because they're the majority where I live, Christian's (and Catholics, depending on your views they are the same, I see them as the same) are much more in your face about their religion and their views than any other religion.
I've worked with people with all sorts of religious views (including muslim/islam, hindu, jewish, sikh, etc) and found they are pretty respectful of other people's views. While they will raise their concerns, they are very non-confrontational about it because they understand respect.
I, myself, identify as atheist, if I had to put a label on it. Really I just feel like we're wasting time squabbling over something we can't prove, so why bother? I also subscribe to the "don't be a dick" ideology.
Just my opinion and experiences. Everyone's lives are different. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I remember when Bluray was new, and the PS3 came out, and bought my first few Bluray movies. Sure enough, I couldn't actually watch the movies right away. They forced the PS3 to download and install an update in order to watch.
I've found piracy much more convenient. No updates, no waiting, no forced ads. Now with faster internet and better encoding methods, it's quicker to download 1080p content than it is to even dig the disc out and put it in a player.
I see where you're coming from, but I don't think you understand why it's cheaper in SK.
Telus (as well as Bell) simply leases network capacity from Sasktel within the province of Saskatchewan. They own zero equipment here, and have to do none of the maintenance. I suspect their operating costs are actually lower here.
All of Sasktel's infrastructure has been paid for with tax payer money over the past 60 years.
In exchange, Sasktel users utilize Bell owned towers outside of SK, so I'm sure there's some net metering going on there. I'm not sure if they have any agreement with Telus or not.
Here in SK with Koodo, I'm paying $48/mo for Unlimited Nationwide Calling (and roaming, I can be in BC and call NS for not a penny more!), Unlimited North American SMS/MMS (Canada and US), and 5GB of Data per month.
I've yet to find a better deal anywhere else. I rarely go over 1GB data a month, so I don't have a use for "Unlimited" data.
About $5.5 billion in revenue was lost to piracy globally last year
It's been proven time and time again that people who download "illegally" wouldn't actually pay for it in the first place, so you can't assign a dollar value to it.
I'm curious what kind of algorithm they are using for this.
Traditional hashing will hash the entirety of the image. A simple work around of simply resizing or cropping the image before uploading will get around it.
Unless they mean fingerprinting. Fingerprinting != Hashing.
Perl was my first scripting language, and quickly moved to PHP as it's easier for web based development. This was in the late 90's. Now I've moved on to bigger, better languages, but there is a special place in my heart for Perl.
I love Perl because everyone hates it. Perl is now like 1/10th of my income, as I maintain some legacy applications for a few companies that I didn't build. They don't mind when I charge $100/hr (yes I'm aware I could probably charge more) to make changes or tweaks, because other developers just throw their hands up in the air and claim they need new software, which would cost a lot more. I understand there will come a day they will decide they need new software, but if they are happy with the service I provide, I will be the first place they come to get a quote to replace it.
In fact, a couple Perl projects have moved to new systems, some developed by me, and some off the shelf applications. Remember, best tool for the job and all that jazz.
Again, I love Perl. There are thousands of systems utilizing it, and the more people that hate it and refuse to use it means more money for me.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Glad you found my comment among the mud-throwing fest any article mentioning PHP seems to receive.
Each PHP 7.x release has depreciated and removed a significant amount of the stuff these people are complaining about.
I find it amazing how many "experts" out there that have never actually tried a modern version of PHP dismiss it and resort to mud-flinging.
Each to their own, I guess.
I want to point out you're quoting Eeeve's blog post from 2012. This was published way before PHP 7.

Doesn't matter what language you use, bad developers are universal.
The thing is PHP 7.2 is actually pretty good, and 7.3 is looming.
My advice is start your own projects "the right way" (that's subjective), and start your own firm or agency and win with quality.
I'll be 100% honest, this is what I did. Working self employed over 4 years now. Business is doing well. Even have a couple of staff now.
Only thing I've ever really used chroot for is installing Funtoo linux via SystemRescueCD.
Anyone who thinks it's meant for security needs a smack upside the head.
Thats about what we pay here in Canada.
This actually looks quite good for the price. The only thing I'd upgrade is the SSD to NVMe, 250GB is fine for mobile.
Side note: Why can't I get it with no O/S? I don't want Pop_OS or Ubuntu.
Have you given XFCE a try?
Highly recommend it.
When did Slashdot become Reddit?

For the love of God, won't somebody please think of the CANADIANS?!?
Fixed that for you.
No doubt. Canadian here.
Canada supplies around 71% of the worlds maple syrup. Which contributes around $381,000,000 CAD to our economy just in exports.

Until our Premier sells off our Telco to Bell. :-/

The prices vary greatly depending where you live.

This "study"'s PHP "vulnerability" was that if you pass USER INPUT to a function called "shell_exec", that there's a security flaw there.
Well DUH!

This will depend on monthly bandwidth allotments, and, to a lesser extent, latency.
If you can't pull down 500GB a month at a reasonable cost, there will be no competition. End of story.
I have been using FF Beta on Android since it's been available. No issues here.
I don't think I've ever used Chrome on Android. Google already tracks all the apps I use, I don't need them tracking my web browsing history, too.
I get 3-5 days on a single charge of my phone.
It has a 4500mAh Li-Ion battery. On a light use day, I still have 98% or so battery when I go to bed. On a heavy use day, I'll burn through up to 15%.
Oh, and my phone was only $240, no contract, no financing. It's an LG X Power 2, known as LG X Charge in the US.
Looks fine with uBlock Origin.
I'd say it's a gimmick, if anything.
Truth is there are other/better/easier sources to generate entropy seeds from.
