Well, with this deal the Alibaba buyout of Yahoo is obviously off the table.

Yahoo needs many things, but cash isn't one of them. They have no debt and have billions in cash in the bank already that they don't know what to do with. The only reason they are doing this is to appease shareholders. And in that sense I s

It helps if you wrote a good chunk of it. But one way that is easier than diving into the source code is to just dump the opcodes using vld (see pecl.vld). I have a little wrapper shell script /usr/local/bin/vld: #!/bin/sh -e exec php

Technically Hello World in PHP is just: Hello World The one they have with <?php print("Hello World"); ?> is also an opcode longer than using <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> because off the FREE on the return value from the pri

Well, there is a zmq Javascript flash-binding that gives you ZeroMQ semantics all the way to the client: http://www.zeromq.org/bindings:javascript Semantically it is clean, but the flash part is a bit ugly.

It wasn't really clear to me what the advantages of this is over a ZMQ+Socket.io based system. The aim is a fully-baked SAAS I suppose, but it seems we already have all the pieces to roll our own without too much effort.

Well, it wasn't a bug. That was more of a feature request which is now implemented.

Note that anywhere you see array() in that list for PHP 5.4 you can replace it with [ ]'s. So the example that has: $a = array(1,2,array(3,4)); becomes: $a = [1,2,[3,4]]; Also 0b101010 works in 5.4.

Try a traceroute to your neighbour who is likely on the same physical Comcast segment as you. It's not a simple 2-hop route. It goes way out and comes back.

I suppose that scenario could exist somewhere. It definitely doesn't on Comcast in the US.

For a good chunk of people it is still the cable companies that provide the last-mile pipe that something like this requires. And because they control it they can skew the bandwidth allocation towards their own digital TV side. You never hi

I'd look at downtown Sunnyvale as well. Nokia moved in a while ago, and Apple will be moving in later this year. Murphy street has a little bit of life, although not as much as University in PA or Castro in MV. But the rents are lower than

One thing nobody has mentioned is also that most Waterloo students come out of there with more money than they had going in. No crippling student loans to deal with. Co-op terms aren't just great experience they also pay quite well. (Unless

I went to Waterloo as well and absolutely loved the 4-month co-op terms and would have hated being limited to a single 18-month term with a single company. You get to try a little bit of everything. I did big companies (BNR, NT in Toronto),

Note that the feature is under discussion for 5.4 and not rejected. Chances are actually extremely good that it will be in 5.4 in some form.

That's actually not true, and htmlspecialchars() will automatically do the UTF-8 validation for you as long as you have set your charset correctly. But even if you do that, you are still vulnerable. Inside on* handlers and style attributes,
