Can you clarify who you are accusing of raping a child?

According to eyewitnesses he turned down the advances...

Interesting. Which version? Did you use an IDE (and an editor with good PHP bindings)? Was it a legacy project? Does the project use composer? What didn't you like?

Maybe we should all stop digging around in social media to find things people said and quote them out of context...

It might be part of the technical spec but almost certainly not part of the product spec.

The end user does not care about the programming language.

1914-1918 was worse.

Harsh conditions?

He is kept away from other prisoners because they would kill him. The state even pays people to keep him company.

Yes it looks like his sentence will be extended indefinitely - but that is up to him last I heard he still wants a race war.

The UK (England and Wales at least) have a concept called joint enterprise which is similar.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Men Are Waiting to Share Some Feelings (2018)
> i'm afraid life is a bit more complicated than that, dear.

I had vouched this comment until I read this sentence.

The OP is being offensive but being patronizing strengthens their prejudices.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Men Are Waiting to Share Some Feelings (2018)
Using the word patriarchy to describe modern western society is always going to derail any conversation about men's issues into a flame war.

EDIT added 'modern'.

I guess I'm coming from the perspective of having worked on terrible JS (serverside) code bases and then moved to modern PHP... I'm not calling JS a hot mess though. I'm sure there are great JS projects out there. It is really nice to use a framework again though rather than a loose collection of libraries..

> there's a lot more useful things to learn than another language & framework just for its sake.

Agreed.

This highlights something most devs don't understand. Product development is about developing a product not about writing code. All the choices we make should facilitate making a good product, writing good code is a side effect.

In this metaphor the colour of the wall is equivalent to the product. The code is equivalent to whether the painters used brushes, pads or rollers or whether they used ladders or scaffolding - the customers do not care.

By asking why choose php you are asking why use rollers to paint.

> think PHP is a hot mess.

Have you used PHP in the last 5 years?

He and she (and apparently now they) are subject pronouns as are han/hon... What is hen if not a subject pronoun?

Interesting what percentages are we talking? Something like 30% is enough to ruin the garment for me. Maybe I am just very smelly!

Any sentence under threshold will become spent. Some crimes will still show on DBS checks.

The same place you linked to.

I know I use wool for cross country skiing and cycling in cooler months. These clothes last several uses. When I try the same with plastic blends they need washing after one use.

EDIT. Several uses closely spaced and the items are aired out between use. If you sweat all over some wool then leave it in ball for a week it will probably rot.

Has he been convicted of something now?

This is pure libel.

You are repeating defamatory rumours without a shred of evidence.

hdfbdtbcdg··on Delicate wash cycles release more microfibres
Blends need to be washed way more often. If you don't overwash your pure wool it will last well.

Source my clothes.

People are never fired from such positions they are asked to resign. Trying to repaint this as him willingly stepping down is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.

> majority of the community can agree

I am unaware we voted on this topic.

Also Linux won on the server because it is free as in beer.

I said explicitly that the minister in question remained in government, that the teenager in question was 17 and that there was no suggestion of coercion. There was no need to even name names these facts stand on their own.
