Likewise with Hetzner. Great prices with decent support.

Springscript might be a better name for this monstrosity. Those who appreciate Javascript's functional roots will be throwing-up. As if classes and "constructor" were not enough.

Same here. Learned CGI.pm and read the Perl & MySQL book by Dubois as well as most of the O'Reilly Perl collection. Then I was off to the races. Built an app with CGI::Application which ran a client's business for over a decad

In many ways Perl's testing culture was the forerunner of TDD. CPAN Testers earned a lot of respect for making the Perl ecosystem stable.

John Carmack came to the opposite view in the end ( https://web.archive.org/web/20130819160454/http://www.altdev... ), favouring pure functions and immutability above all else.

Me as well but I was already sold on Clojure by then.

Makes me wonder what tricks M$ will get up to once VS Code has taken over the developer world. I warned you all.

The summer solstice around 20th June will always be mid-summer in the northern hemisphere even if it's freezing cold for the 45 days before and after. It's all about daylight and darkness. Nothing else.

So seasons are defined by temperature? In the UK we sometimes have our coldest weather in March. Does that mean the seasons have shifted? And what about countries close to the equator - do they have permanent summer? Seasons have nothing to

Well now you're defining seasons in terms of weather and we all know how reliable that is. Here in London we've had zero snow this winter so far so does that mean we haven't had a winter? There are plenty of countries, especi

Night is clearly defined by the Sun setting over the horizon and the following rising. The Sun's passage over the meridian is the astronomical midnight.

But that's just a convention. You're not explaining the phenomenon which gives rise to seasons or even what a season is. If some other culture decided to define equinoxes and solstices as the middle of a season then that would be

That's exactly the fallacy I'm referring to. Mid-Summer's day ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer ) is a calendrical festival observed in many cultures around 24th June close to the summer solstice.

He omitted a really big one - the beginning of spring. Most people are convinced spring begins at the equinox around 20th March but are also quite happy to talk about Mid-Summer's Day at the summer solstice around 20th June. Sorry, ya

ASP.Net Core runs perfectly well on Linux so cheap VMs are an option now.

As soon as you throw an MVC framework into the mix with an ORM the much-touted speed gains of PHP in recents years vanish into thin air. That's because with heavy frameworks PHP's shared nothing architecture works against you.

I find it hard to imagine how anyone who groks Laravel well enough to get a product shipped could be deficient in understanding PHP. Surely such cases are outliers?

I don't understand why putting Java on your CV was a problem nor why you're considering switching to .Net. Here in London good Java developers earn a premium and along with PHP you will always find jobs with these languages in any

There's nothing in your list which doesn't have an equivalent in the Rails and Django ecosystems. Laravel is just another MVC framework built with a dynamically-typed scripting language. Rails, Django, Laravel - take your pick. Sa

Yes, the Second Coming Of Java that was PHP5 was where PHP lost its DIY magic.
