PHP has matured greatly since version 5, especially in terms of performance, and Drupal 8 is a top choice for creating enterprise-level APIs. Neither is dead and Drupal is only "terrible" for beginners. By most measurements, PHP i

This isn't just for giggles. It's evidence that when there's a high perceived risk, "normal" people don't sign up for trials and it skews the results.

That whole system is really a mess, and I speak from experience as a modder. All the changes between MC releases makes updating an enormous pain in the butt, so there's still mods stuck at version 1.6.4 and every version in between. I

Supposedly, you just install this and you're good to go: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ I just tried updating to 5 on a test copy, as far as I can tell it didn't break anything.

So what was the first blockchain? I think you're just rebelling against the common definition of a blockchain as a distributed ledger, though I don't understand what's to be gained from that. Seems the community is rather spl

I'm well aware of how git works, and the consensus mechanism you just pointed out is one of the fundamental differences between git and what's normally referred to as a blockchain. I think the confusion is people are equating merk

Yes, and that's part of the beauty of git, everyone can go fork it and create their own version of a data store. In the case of something like a cryptocurrency, letting everyone create their own version of a ledger and get to decide wh

The owner of a node on a blockchain doesn't own the data store, the owner of a git repo does. The owner of a git repo can even rewrite the whole history of a repo. To equate the two doesn't make much sense to me. Seems this is an

Who's saying anything like that? My thoughts are, if a markets in a steady decline with no signs of improving, is it a good investment?

Git isn't decentralized, each data store has an owner.

It mentions decentralization, but in a rather smart-ass way: "Are the entities with write access having a hard time deciding who should be in control of the data store."

I think the days of "mad investor money" just because you added blockchain to something may be over. The hysteria over blockchain went hand-in-hand with last year's cryptocurrency bubble, I wouldn't be surprised if smar
