Thanks, but probably not.

You are probably also taking it out of context. You have no idea what has happened in that neighborhood in the last year or decade. You have no idea what those perps and officers have experienced. Right?

You have an extra word there.

aganame | 5 years ago | on: Why I Use Suckless Tools

I am, and so are you, I would think. That's how I understand "paradigm" :)

aganame | 5 years ago | on: Why I Use Suckless Tools

We're using 50 year old UX paradigms. Nothing has significantly improved after Engelbart.

aganame | 5 years ago | on: Why does OpenBSD still include Perl in its base installation?

What specifically do you think makes PHP especially great for that?

aganame | 5 years ago | on: Why does OpenBSD still include Perl in its base installation?

No, it's not interesting at all. PHP is fairly good at web things, but that's it.

Also hugsql for clojure and pugsql for python.

Agreed. There should be one for every user.

On the Epic store? Too expensive.

Don't use Kubernetes unless you Know you need it.

Would you hire you?

Yeah, you’re right. I was exaggerating for some reason I don’t recall anymore, a bad day perhaps, too much or too little coffee or something. Who knows.

Of course I don’t discriminate at hiring time against people who disagree with me on such a trivial technical detail. Or hunt for them so I can maintain secret lists of undesirables. That would be unethical, probably illegal, and definitely stupid.

Some (perhaps even most) problems don't need top tier coders, so hiring them for such problems is a waste of resources.

That's not hot reload, and pretty much every language has frameworks that are capable of that.

Actix-web is a web framework, but a rather lightweight one. It doesn't really compare to django/rails/laravel.

And what is the equivalent of "===" for ">" and "<"?

aganame | 5 years ago | on: A look at modern PHP

Because it's fairly popular (#6ish or something) as a language, it is more probable that people are forced to use it at the threat of unemployment.

Nobody is forced to write Haskell or Rust, you have to actively look for such positions.

Then again, this doesn't explain why the number #1 language (Python) is so liked...

Many employers use php because it allows keeping salaries down, though. So your advice would not work for those.

Learning new tricks gets harder when we get older. Is that the software’s fault?
