It missed another category of USA-centrics behaviour that infused in PHP: the dates. For instance, `mktime(hour, minute, second, month, day, year)`. I've never seen a country outside of North-America that puts the month first, though m

It's a strange read, because the article forgets to mention how crypto companies have influenced the politics in the USA with their money. The former FTX CEO claims he gave more than 1 b$ to Democrats, and the same amount to the Republ

First of all, some context about this article. Vladimir Arnold was a great mathematician, but his opinions were often extreme, and expressed in a way that drew many antagonisms. In other words: he was respected for his technical works, but

I've used both libgen and z-library to search for books over the last year. Maybe a hundred of books, mostly old fiction works (translated) in English and French (authors like Joseph Roth or Aleksandr Kouprin). Z-lib had much more resu

I doubt Go is really a better offer than Java to serve HTML pages. Go promoters are clearly focused on the backend (web APIs). For instance, my experience with HTML templating in Go using the standard library is that it's really slow.

The problem is that Israel is seen as a "friend state" and Israel claims to be a democracy. So we expect higher standards of ethics than most other countries. The other reason is that we (western countries) could have a strong inf

This looks like an fun project, but I fail to see where it could be useful outside of a proof of concept. The focus is on the performance, yet "kawipiko is at least on-par with NGinx". NGinx does require file open-read-close, but

IMO, this article is too vague to be useful. The focus isn't clearly defined, and the examples are few. Like most philosophical texts, it's not neither right not wrong, and its impact depends on the reader's state of mind. Th

Your statement is wrong in the general case. It probably depends on the DB engine and several parameters, but, at least with MariaDB/MySQL, allowing NULL increases the disk usage. See https://stackoverflow.com/questio

In my experience, Xdebug is not suited to the task. It has a big impact on the executed process, so profiling is slow and biased. The results need some extra processing to get interpreted, which is a pain when experimenting with code change
