  • Yeah no, Putin is a different story

    He doesn’t give a shit about dead soldiers in body bags. Almost noone in Russia sees that, or if they do they’ll be told som lie about it. Its much simpler than in the US

    You know what’s not simpler? Demographics. As I recently read somewhere, demographics is like a freight train, slow, but all of the sudden you hear this horn bare and you’re splattered under it.

    Putin lost now about a million men of working age. That is a huge gash that will come back to haunt Russia. Not Putin, mind you, he’ll be dead and gone within a few years. Russia, though, is thoroughly fucked for the next decades. It already has low population issues before, and their demographics chart at this point is a fucking rollercoaster. Their population is already relatively old, and with the loss of about a million men, in a country largely dependent on mineral extraction and sale, it will be ugly.


  • Do I really need to explain this? I guess I do

    I’m sure there are classes in school now that require a phone. There better be, kids need to learn how to properly and responsibly use them. Having said that, 90% of other classes never required and still do not require a phone.

    Phones are an extreme distraction to the learning process and coupled with social media, harmful to the development of the brain. This is not news, this has been known for a while.

    This is not fascism, this is not me trying to be a dick this is simply kids needing to be away from their phone for a few hours per day and everyone is losing their minds because OMG, how are we going to make it without phones? Such opinions alone are reason enough to ban phones in schools. Learn ti be a human being first.


  • it’s not really a proper language

    Why, oh true Scotsman?

    It’s slower than compiled languages

    Probably, but it requires a whole lot less work to get something done. One developer pays for 20 big ass servers, so if I have to spin up one or two extra servers over requiring way less developers, that is a no-brainer

    The go syntax is cleaner than PHP

    Go kinda looks/feels like JavaScript to me whereas PHP feels more like C. I find modern PHP syntax to be cleaner than go, but that is a personal opinion. Either way, maintainability has more to do with your developers and coding guidelines than with the language itself.

    With very specific food alternatives, maybe, sure. If you want to go without, I applaud you. Once factory meat comes out, I’ll switch right away. Away with the mistreatment of animals.

    But please don’t be one of those “we’re not omnivores, it was all a conspiracy by the meat industry!” types. Yes, we humans are omnivorous and you’d be begging for a scrap of meat only a hundred or so years ago. Be happy wr live in an age where you actually get to make the decision to finally skip meat and pray we don’t return to those times (not guaranteed with trump now)


  • Yeah again: I don’t care if trump will fall twenty years or even a single day after I die because I’ll be dead.

    Also, while you’re in the mood of trying to make the world not look that bad: global warming as it was will not destroy the world, we’re a thing sliver, bacteria if you will, in the surface of this world. Earth doesn’t give a shit. What will die though, in a long and painful struggle to the end, is Humanity and you and I will still be there to witness that.

    And just to make it clear, this is how it was about 5 years ago. Things have progressively gotten worse ever since. Instead of less CO2, we’ve produced more CO2 than ever because fuck humanity, I want my stocks to soar!

    It has already started and warming is just going much faster than expected. Expect more droughts, less water, more food scarcity, soon the wars over the last few resources and livable patches of land will start and soon enough we’ll all be fucked because nobody could be bothered to actually work on a real solution

    So yeah, be it through trump and WWIII or climate change, we’re all fucked.



    • PHP doesn’t have a built in web server because it doesn’t need one, makes development a whole lot easier as each page is it’s independent process. No worries about memory loss, state corruption, or other issues. IMHO it adds to its security and ease of handling

    • It’s super fast and easy to setup and get going

    • Web sockets work just fine, I use them daily on dozens of servers doing hundreds of requests / sec all day every day

    • They did an audit and found issues? Great, I applaud people searching and finding issues. Shall we do the same for Rust, go, or chuckle JavaScript?

    • You’re unfamiliar.with the language. <<< Yeah, that is the standard reason for hating PHP, it’s not <insert my personal favorite language>











  • They can for red hat but canonical is (or at least I think it is) South African

    Either way, it doesn’t matter, it’s open source software so we’ll happily download it somewhere else. loads of distress to choose from

    Trying to force other countries to comply? Well the US could do that 2 years ago but since Trump utterly obliterated all of its soft power it has no way of enforcing that beyond threatening with tarrics (and we all know how well that has worked) or a full on invasion which will be bad for said country but as soon as the inevitable body bags come crashing back into the country, it would kill this administration
