I don't think he was, he was pointing out the engineering prowess of Facebook. Essentially, if they can write something as complex as HipHop, they surely could figure out how to properly delete photos.
- getsat 15y agoThis. HipHop is a pretty amazing feat.
- j_col 15y agoWell I guess it's up to the OP to clarify.
- getsat 15y agoI did below. PHP is a joke of a language/platform (and I say this as someone who has six years of professional PHP experience), but that wasn't my point. The point was: PHP is dog slow, Facebook solved that particular problem with a gargantuan engineering feat, deleting photos is trivial by comparison, therefore they either do not give a crap or it's somehow beneficial to them to keep them around forever.
- j_col 15y ago> I did below. PHP is a joke of a language/platform... Then I guess I stand by my comment of "please don't make this about PHP", I agree with your main point though.
