   As a talk idea, "Everything you know about PHP is wrong" has no direct hits as a phrase search on google, and, judging by the comments that PHP generates on hn, might have some mileage. You'd need someone with unimpeachable d

   IMO, the lasting stability of a UI is a far greater factor in long-term user acceptance, satisfaction and facility than almost any breaking "improvements" that are imposed by developers - c.f. Firefox for a negative example. So, i

    Proving a negative is not always possible, but the irreducible randomness in quantum measurement or "wave function collapse" is essentially defined as uncomputable. You can of course simulate quantum randomness using an RNG or som
