Thanks for the recommendation – I've used PHPStorm when doing large refactors, and it's incredible. Unfortunately, you can't force everyone to use it (especially given its price). That's why a bunch of people have writte

It makes me sad that, as a Mac-based developer, installing & updating HHVM takes half an hour (via Homebrew). I imagine that has taken the wind out of many people's sails, when contemplating migrating/updating codebases to HHV

Right, but you're still investing time in doing that switch. No matter which way you cut it, you're still replacing every single nail. "We'll just update as we go", you say. That's fine, but it means that some

HHVM & Hack solved two big problems that made PHP difficult for Facebook and other large companies with large existing PHP codebases: Speed, and the lack of type checking Now the PHP ecosystem is more mature – PHP 7 eliminated the speed

It's saddling WordPress's massive user base with Facebook's patent clause – something the userbase likely won't realise they're agreeing to when they use WordPress.

Nah, they were pretty patient - updating their resumé so that they weren't lying, yet still giving the recruiter what they thought the recruiter wanted. Presumably they were worried that the resumé wouldn't just be seen by a rec

Don’t judge PHP by a 15-year-old interview with its creator. The internals have been completely rewritten by an incredibly talented team that continues to make improvements. Also, many of the demons from PHP4 (in use in 2002) have been exci

Oh, so stating that women can't handle stress is bad now? Political correctness gone, uh, sane. Edit: I had hoped the sarcasm was obvious

Yes – I think the point of sticking just to open auctions is so that the prices and indexes they have represent what the market thinks of an artist and particular works.

Artnet has been doing the same basic analysis (finding comparable artworks and calculating the worth of a piece of art) for over a decade. They offer theirs as an add-on to their price subscription service: https://www.artnet.com

The point about ratios is that tech is where a lot of the money, and thus a lot of the power, is. If there's a perception that it's more difficult to access that power because of your presented gender, then there will be outrage

I imagine they signed on to work at a well-funded company with a pedigreed CEO in advance of the Businessweek article. Totally logical decision, especially if they have loans to pay off.

People have created secure systems in far worse languages, and people have written laughably insecure code any language you care to name. The “problem” with PHP is its ease of use, allowing people who don’t know about good development pract

Worth reading the HN posts linked in the article. IMO it's a band-aid for a larger problem - a problem that Google is now incentivised not to address through less hegemonic means.
