I had some server IP address banned by hotmail by doing that. Because this is what spammers do to check their emails list.

PHP provides escapeshellcmd / escapeshellarg functions for escaping when building commands. Is there any shell on which those functions are unsafe ? I think they assume cmd.exe on windows and sh on others.

These are not magic features. You still have to make your app scale. And once you did it, it works as well on dedicated servers. Dedicated servers come with dedicated disks or SSDs, memory, CPUs, network cards. Decent dedicated hosting prov

Consistency. Since $a[0] is a string, you would expect $a[0][0] to work too.

Closures can now have a `$this` (by default it is the class in which the closure is declared). No more $that = $this hacks :)

There is also a modern php implementation of HAML at https://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHaml I believe it's much faster too.

When you free() a memory region, it's not returned to the OS. It's only made available for later mallocs. When malloc returns memory previously freed by the process, it effectively returns uninitialized memory, without leaking any informati

This is awesome. I guess this is why the 2012 ML class is delayed; I'm wondering if it will still happen :(

I would love to be able to require() jQuery features: require(['jQuery.ajax', 'jQuery.events'], function() { // code using ajax and events here }); Much easier than to manage script tags. (hint: CommonJS / AMD)

CommonJS / AMD anyone ? There are plenty of libraries doing this already.

Disabling parse_ini_file looks like a mistake too ;) (It's just a ini file parser; it has nothing to do with PHP settings.)

An other good example is constructors; say you have a function like this: function MyClass(x){ this.x = x; } In Coffeescript this translates to MyClass = (x) -> @x = x `x` is returned; and if you re

An example. This could be any statement evaluating to false. Coffee script returns the result of the last statement. Javascript don't. So, failing to take this into account produces coffeescript that do not have the same behavior than the o

It fails to return nothing here: e.onclick = function() { false; } // returns nothing Translates to: e.onclick = -> false // returns false

What's sad with this is that most of these modules would work in a browser if only they used asynchronous module definition. That would have been even more awesome.
