> PHP isn't the outdated, clunky language you may think it is. Proceeds to give a long list of outdated and clunky examples that look like a joke next to any modern framework.

In the picture, it looks like they are on opposite sides, at least. Still not perfect, though.

I've been using Mint for many years, and I've never really experienced any of those (at least not more than Ubuntu or even Windows).

It's not typically laminated, usually the cop is supposed to take it and call the person who handed it out (or tear it up). This is very real, though.

One reason I procrastinate is because a decent % of my tasks just go away on their own, so if I did everything as soon as I was supposed to, I'd be wasting time.

I do something similar with guitar. I can teach chords and notes, but I can't teach you how to hold the strings down properly in the first place. "Go play with this until you make the notes every time without a buzzing sound"

Hard to imagine a floating ice cube having an effect on a sphere with mountains , though.

This isn't intuitive to me either, given that the ice sheet is less dense than the surrounding water. I mean, it floats . Never mind the effect of the surrounding landmass, which is WAY more dense. I'm not ready to call his the

Given both my experience and prior research, I don't believe you that Oracle is ever better than have the stuff on the above list, and I think it's worse than Postgres on every metric. Every time I need to work with an Oracle DB i

We switched from Amazon's SQS to RabbitMQ, because SQS was killing our performance, and wasn't nearly as powerful overall. RabbitMQ gave us such a performance increase that we killed our database. We ended up having to rate limit

I disagree, Windows is very painful for me to use at a basic level compared to Linux. I would be very unlikely to take a job that forced me to develop under Windows.

Yeah, I thought of that when I wrote that. I wrote it anyway, since in reality it's that's what we all do.

As someone who has been on Linux a long time, but still has to support family members using Windows, here's my perspective: 1) Linux is usually easier in the "happy case", where everything works as it should, and it supports

The Sega CD2 was actually vastly better, in my recollection. I explicitly got that one and attached it to my full size genesis back in the day.

I feel like this situation calls for making you a partner. If you are SO valuable the company can't even survive without you, then you ARE the company and should be treated as such.

All 4 presidents had violent conflicts in the middle east, and Iraq in particular. In fact, the "WMD" stuff started with Clinton (though not nukes). I'm no where near a Trump supporter, and I'm very disappointed with the

I've definitely bought floor models before, and for the guitar it was fine. I was worried about what abuse the floor model amp may have been through, though, and neither item would come with all of the extra stuff (manuals, tools, etc)
