One way to avoid this kind of mistakes is to use Yoda conditions [0]: ASSERTS(1 == apples); If you forget one `=`, it doesn't compile. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda_conditions

If any government invented bitcoins, it seems unlikely that the motivation was to reduce their costs. Given the transparent nature of bitcoin transactions, it could however be used to track, cartography underground transactions.

PHP doesn't have annotations. The framework you are using may be emulating them, though. By parsing docblocks. Hence why it feels like that.

From the README, it also looks like that he didn't use the optimised (default) versions at all: "Pux tries not to consume computation time to build all routes dynamically (like Symfony/Routing). Instead, Pux compiles your rou

The README says that the c extension is only 1.5x-2x faster than the pure PHP Pux. So this doesn't explain 50x faster.

Great slides. Very interesting because implementing immutable data structures is not obvious. I'm having a hard time figuring out a use case for some of these purely functional structures. For instance, the queue: if you dequeue concur

While I totaly agree, this is in no way specific to PHP. Ruby on Rails has such ugliness too, a view helper called "escape_once": http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TagHel... What

Usually the script would be remote (script src="..."), and the same origin policy would prevent you from getting its source in a similar way.

This is likely to consume more memory, because of copy on write pages (or lack of thereof). Implementing the prefork model by spawning unrelated processes (by opposition to forking from a common parent process) is likely to consume more mem

This casts only $sum to int. If $i is a float, the result is a float. With 32 bits, $sum will be a float bigger than PHP_INT_MAX at some point, and the cast will truncate it, which is unlikely to give the right answer. With 64 bits, which I

This issue happens on 32 bits builds of PHP and nodejs : The language switches to a floating point representation when the result of some operation exceeds INT_MAX. In 64 bits PHP builds, the computation is done right.
