My top surprise? It's not uncommon to see people using MySQL with ISAM tables as a serious data store, and then half-implementing ACID properties in the application's GUI layer. ("Why would you want to put data constraints in the database?

Does XMPP allow you to follow a person and see all their public messages as they're posted? Does it allow you to see historic posts for a user? Can you search the network for all messages with a given tag, and get a live stream of updates?

I wonder how hard it would be to add a stalking function to an IRC server, so you can follow someone and see all their public messages; and then log messages so recent chat can be viewed by looking at a channel... are there any other reason

To me, every PHP version being vastly better than the previous version says something: the current version is shit too, it's just going to take another few versions until you admit it :P Compared to something like python, where version 3 ha

Does PHP have a function to generate a new URL that is the current URL with one of the GET parameters changed yet? After working with PHP for years, I've taken a look at rails and a few python frameworks, and looking back to PHP it makes me

The difference it makes is that with PHP being so popular, it gets a lot of support from cheap web hosts (often being the /only/ language supported), and thus if you write software to be deployed, PHP is the only option, thus it gains popul

I've seen a lot of these new SQL databases, and they all seem to compare themselves to MySQL. That seems like a particularly easy target, since MySQL's main strength is speed, and it's a fundamentally old-school (ie slow) design which has s
