I was a kid living in Botswana when Halley passed earth. We watched it every night through binoculars. Marvelous clean air - humidity around 0%, just some dust. No light pollution (there wasn't an electricity grid in some 100km around,

My point was that "PHP is thriving" cannot be deduced from the pull stats from docker. As the TLA does. You now add an anecdotal evidence to underpin the "PHP is thriving". Which also is not a good argument. That is not

How does this compare to other comparable containers? Because that relative usage would show us if "it is thriving" is acually true. ``` for repo in node python php ruby golang; do echo "${repo}: $(curl "https:/

I keep repeating this. We already have XML. Stop trying to make JSON another XML. I'm now knee-deep in a gig that uses all sorts of w3c standards, which enforce json-ld, json-schema, json-whatnots and so on. It's a terrible mess o
