I mean, acronyms are fine but what is HtWFaIP supposed to mean? Article related funny thought: you're bragging about being in enough on a certain study area that you recognize/use foundational texts by acronym even if they're

What money is Facebook pouring into PHP? You think Facebook is deploying their own developers to maintain PHP? It is not so. Facebook doesn't really interact with the PHP community, except for when they published HHVM, and even that wa

If you actually read the Wikipedia link you posted you would see that nicotine's effects are minor in adults. Definitely less dangerous than, for example, breathing car waste everyday by living in a city. This of course regards only ni

Just offering a thought-provoking POV here: Do you work in IT? As far as I could see the hardest problems in technology are not actually technical, but organizational/political/management problems. Politics is just management at a

Considering it's only a problem when updating dependencies and how good and reliable the result is, it's totally worth it. Worst case in extremely big projects you just add some swap and let it run for a while, the time required i

I think the crossover between frontend and backend is less effective than you imagine. Generally a backend dev writes horrible frontend code and viceversa. A very senior backend person will probably know many things about ops and frontend,

All of this is clear to me and pretty obvious. My point was that the following paragraph from GGP is contradictory: > There is no limit to how much money it can spend. Any discussion of budgets at that level in terms of deficits etc. is
