Worthstream

America is a weird place, Europe is more balanced in general. Back in 2000 we had more of a 60%-40% split in computer science.

Yep, any non empty string is truthy.

Are those... rings? Toys?

I fail to see any difference between the second and third outcome, but otherwise this is a nice way to explain what's happening. I'll have to remember this trick of asking for an eli5 version of something.

Most of the hate for php was born back in version 3 or 4, when it was a mess. Also a lot of people who where in college in those years learned php as a first language.

Combine a language that does not enforce good coding practices and a lot of people making their first website, and you get some pretty horrible codebases.

As part of my job is to maintain legacy php websites, I've seen lovercraftian nightmares. I love modern php, but I get where all this hate is coming from.

Modernizing that project would be a nightmare. It's maybe the code base with the most plug-ins, and they should be supported while deprecating and gradually phasibg them out.

I'm working with a client that's built more code in custom plug-ins than Wordpress itself, I'm ambivalent on them not using a more modern code. On one hand it's hard to work with what Wordpress is right now, on the other rewriting all of those plug-ins is a monumental task.

But yeah, at least use git.

Wonderful! Do you plan on sharing or selling the stl?

Well... this is a few orders of magnitude smaller than any big tech social network, and will probably be that way for a long time if not forever. But still, a smaller, more caring community is better than a gigantic crowd of strangers, isn't it?

The museum is absolutely the best mod for Skyrim, at least for those like me that love a collecthaton. I'll neve finish it, i know. The longest i tried was for three months straight, with Skirim vr. It was not even close to completion, but it was enjoyable all the time.
