Nonsense. People stick with telnet because of ignorance. That is why you remove telnetd, and force them to update. There is no difficulty in switching, and thus no valid reason not to switch.

As much as I think the zend framework is terrible, you can pick and choose whatever bits of it you like and ignore the rest. There's no working around assumptions or anything, it is just a normal way of using the framework.
Huh? The article in question demonstrates otherwise, note they just now fixed one of the problems with anon functions, a relatively new feature. PHP continues along the path of adding "features" randomly and without even understanding the purpose behind the feature, and so you get half-features that kinda work and don't really solve any problem in the context of PHP, but were just added so they could check off "some feature we don't understand" on the feature list.
>Other than that, I rarely see any relevant criticism, let alone constructive criticism.
In the context of PHP, I think "you should use a better language" is as constructive as you can really get. There's nothing wrong with warning new web developers that PHP is worse than every other language that lives at the same sort of level (perl, python, ruby, pike, etc).
No, you choose to label someone else's opinion as "hate" because it lets you dismiss it and throw out baseless insults at those people with less risk of getting taken to task for it. You told other people (theoretical people at that) what they think, and then told them there is something wrong with them and they lead sheltered lives. How incredibly arrogant.
Yeah, he says the same thing at the bottom:
>Poul-Henning
I guess it would be nice if he warned you up front, but at least he does include the warning.
You can already do that. You want a list of IPs running websites? So scan port 80? Your port 80 scan will be finding hosts and adding them to the list faster than the vuln scanning can grab them off the list.
I am genuinely sad that such a statement would ever be uttered. "Even when"? Why would you choose to use a database that isn't reliable?
>Consistency check should be replicated in your application layer, atleast for mission critical data.
Maybe if there were some way to do that, but there isn't. It doesn't get replicated, it gets re-implemented, which is quite different. And it results in application code in app X that says data is bad while the DB says it is ok, and then application Y also says it is ok and inserts it fine, and then app X pukes getting it back out later, etc. Leave the DB in charge of the rules and when it gives you an error, you can go ahead and relay that error to the user (in a nicer format one would assume).
What is with all the random nonsense comments here lately? I am not suggesting a single source of truth, the person I replied to was. I simply pointed out that if you are trying to have such a source, the database is where to put it, not a shared library that all the codebases maybe use sometimes.
Clearly that is not a situation I can remedy for you. I suggested you read the thread, as that would resolve the confusion for anyone with basic reading comprehension skills. If that is not sufficient for you, then you'll need to ask an adult to explain the words you don't understand.
That's called a database. That entire post could be summarized as "look, some dumbass didn't put a foreign key constraint on the currency column".
The only valid point you have is that java is slightly more verbose. But of course, it also prevents a number of bugs that slip into PHP code bases, which I find balances it out. And keep in mind, this is coming from someone who finds java offensive, and refuses to use it any more. You're not dealing with someone who is in love with java, but rather someone who thinks java is a terrible language that should never have been made. It is simply not as bad as PHP.
Oh look, PHP is still 30 times slower than java. A 60% improvement to that still won't get it within an order of magnitude. And PHP is not significantly faster or easier to develop in than java, so you are losing execution speed to gain nothing.
You can get a web app up and running quickly in good languages too, and then you also don't have ongoing maintenance nightmares and the massively increased hardware and hosting costs that come with PHP.
Everyone is supposed to do self-exams. There is no consensus on preventative mammograms, some doctors still say to get them, but at different ages. Others say not to do it at all as the risks outweigh the benefits, and mammograms are most useful to diagnose lumps found through normal exams.
I also have the choice to ignore all the methodology snake oil salesmen and actually write software. Every "methodology" is bullshit. The new ones are not any less bullshit than the old ones. The fact that your response assumes I must love the old version of "follow our stupid manager nonsense" is really pretty sad. You honestly can't even imagine a world where I might think all of the bullshit is equally worthless? I have to be an adherent to one of these religions?
Not everyone drank the agile koolaid.
