That's not the reason, and we all know it. We live in a capitalist free-market system. Amazon (or any entity) is free to choose with whom they do business (oh the irony!). They are dropping Parler because the the current political clim

You are arguing that religious myths[0] cannot be claimed to be true or false while simultaneously claiming to believe your religious myths to be true and all others false. I was hoping to lead you here without saying it explicitly, but th

My point is not that having faith is wrong or bad, rather, that to believe in the kinds of myths many religions espouse requires faith. It is impossible to believe in the teachings of the Bible without having faith. I'm sure you brin

I am honestly not trying to argue whether one specific myth is true or not. You are missing my point. There are many myths from many cultures that seek describe where we came from or how we ought to live. For example, nearly every culture h

That's exactly right. You can see how well the above compliments misinformation right? Go ahead and read any religious text (I've read many!). Nearly every culture has one or many myths. Do you believe them to be fact? Or do you o

I'm not a PHP developer! And you have therefore made my point repeatedly. You have come to believe something about me in total ignorance. Why don't you provide me with some non-fiction? I've asked repeatedly if you could deli

To suggest that such tools exist, that these tools impact one's ability to effectively(!) think through problems, and that PHP programmers simply don't value these tools does insinuate a belief that PHP programmers are in some w

What does a "tool that allows you to think through problems" look like? This claim is unsubstantiated. You have provided nothing to discredit an assertion that no such tool exists, and certainly haven't provided any criteri

Did I literally post that? You might want to reread my comment. I can say from experience for every language above, save C++ (with which I have never worked), that they will fail to compile if you change a function signature in a backward

Any statically typed language allows for a compiler to detect breaking changes like you describe. That’s the point!

Right. PHP is not the problem. Nor is the bread, or the connectors, or the husband/wife. That is exactly my point - you are leveling a criticism at yourself and your own inability to use a tool. This is wholly unrelated to the qualit

No doubt. I'm not trying disparage other options. My point is that PHP literally only requires a single file to work. No cli commands. No 3rd-party packages. No configuration files. Just PHP.

Because the vast majority of problems are trivial. And a trivial problem demands a trivial solution. PHP offers a development paradigm second to none. Drop a single file into a single directory and hit f5. Problem solved. Next. Which lang

You make the target. I’ll make the bot. Let’s see who wins. In all seriousness, your suggestion is woefully naive in the face of any serious entity.

While not quite as ergonomic as your example, it's rather trivial to extend ArrayIterator to accomplish your goal: foreach ($iter = new IndexingIterator($array) as $k => $v) { echo $iter->index(); }

Most of the frameworks you mention above are 5+ years old. Back when jQuery was the THE THING to know. In any case, my critique is not levied against MVC the pattern , rather, how it is manifest. One can logically follow MVC without the
