That's focusing too much on pure definition of words and terminologies. China, CCP, East Germany, USSR -- all were communist from the conventional meaning of the word as we use it. There exists no "pure communism". Doesn&#x27

My biggest take from this : > When you declare a class that’s a kind of item, it locks you into that structure much more tightly than if you just have member elements. It’s nice to be able to use virtual functions and that kind of thing,

Every genius in all ages held some weird view all their lifetime, even by modern standards. But history forgets those, and remembers their contributions for the good.

That's fall out from the 90s. People hunted for keygen.exe for their sharewares. And some rouge sites will collect many keygens, attach backdoor program with those and then distribute from their site or over bit-torrent. Anti-virus the

But, you need to write the hard thing once. In a 10 line wrapper function and then call that function from everywhere. sql_query($db,$sql,$params); Problem solved. I guess every PHP developer writes a bunch of these wrapper functions for co

Rather the last few bugs are 100x more expensive to find and fix. That will be this much costly even if you try to find those in pre-production.

PGE is more concerned about the billion dollar law suites. This solution makes economic sense to them. But doesn't help the fire. As long the dry woods are piling up, which it eventually will, something else will trigger the fire. And
