European here. You're spot on with your question. Europe is an extremely hostile place to start a business compared to USA. USA embraced capitalism and is geared towards proving concepts FAST and enabling networking. I love that about

Looks like Elon was too busy farming in Path of Exile and now Tesla's customers have to wait until he asserts he's the god's gift to gaming first.

It's obvious you have no idea what ZTS build of PHP does and you're just spewing nonsense at this point. Creating a few thousand "new object" takes less than 5 msec. Test it. I have. FrankenPHP uses a Go-based balancer t

It doesn't even depend. The underlying engine that executes opcodes is the same. Minimal speedup from not having to execute several "new objectname" commands isn't even a drop in the sea when it comes to what servers do.

There are claims this is faster. It's not. I used it, together with other "alternative" runtimes which are just PHP command line interface long running scripts with some sort of task distribution balancer in front. Just like

Function has 3 arguments. It's documented. Use cases are documented. You are trained. You ask for.. even more protection? From what? There's a limit to laziness, it takes more time to do this word-warrioring on HN than to learn ho

Check this - if it's something important.. don't forget it and implement something called "function" that would pass the third parameter by default? Anyone who is not capable of taking care of what you called footgun in

No, it's not a function that causes it. It's the dev who is sloppy and causes issues. Would you blame the scalpel or brain surgeon for mishap while cutting important bits in the brain? What kind of logic is this, to blame the tool

by zmxz 2y ago
So not knowing how to use a function in programming language is equivalent to a car exploding? Man, your logic is broken in ways that actually hurt.

The problem is that you're trying to use PHP as if it's a different language. If I have to deal with files, I'll create a class and I'll combine functions file_exists, is_file, is_writable, file_get_contents, file_put_co

But I didn't forget the third strict parameter, because I'm diligent in reading documentation and at my job. Was that everything? You basically state there's a problem because you didn't use the function correctly and la

Can you share precisely what "mishmash with a bunch of hidden landmines" is? It's hard to trust a stranger from internet claiming something, but we are in IT so it should be relatively trivial to prove your claims, right?

So it wasn't the language, it was you? But it was the language?

I was job hunting this year, I'm a long-time PHP developer (since '99). It wasn't the language, it's everything around it. It's knowing frontend and how it works, it's knowing about cloud/operating systems

Why would the elements HAVE to be loaded for different roles? You're talking as if every single client-side app approaches authorization and authentication the same way and that's just not true. There's no attack surface here

SSR has nothing to do with roles being sent and what a user can see. It's as related as Jupiter is to a brick.

Laravel is prime example of a bad framework trying to reinvent the language, educating young developers to use it and its ecosystem and to never get out of the stranglehold. I'm not sure what made you think it's an "appropria
