So you make up a different question to fit the answer you want? Actually that seems about right for PHP.
does that mean the denver broncos football team is then fun, high quality, we trust you to win, but we hate the colors?

thats what i get when i translate the blue and orange team colors against those pie charts.

the translation also works for GE (blue and white)
Don't get me wrong, PHP is a joke of a language, but I don't see Rasmus as the one behaving childishly here, and I also don't think he's in the wrong. APIs are allowed to change in major releases, and the behavior the plaintiff was relying on was so clearly broken it boggles the mind that he would riddle his code with dependencies on it.
> After carefully reviewing this bug report with our board of directors on 4chan, we have come to the conclusion that your "rusty C skills" should be enough to fix the issue.

I am sad I was not invited :(
Banks participated in a three bid system for municipal business. It ended the same way all three bid systems do.
I will note that the remark about quality of life vs. quantity is a quote from a nonagenerian. Easy for them to say. They likely had both to make it that far.
Thanks for your comment, we'll clarify that in the license.

In short, the license covers your use in the software, websites, mobile apps, etc you create. The limitation is to prevent distribution to your software's users. For example, if your product was a CMS, you could embed SS in your app's UI, but you couldn't give it to your users to embed in their own websites without an extended license.
Galaxy S3 Review: Samsung's Latest Gives iPhone 4S Run For Its Money
>It only takes a generation and some common thinking for a family to stick together and get ahead, and ensure their children never need to borrow money from a bank to get an education, or buy a house. You don't have to be rich... but why can't we live, you know, a generation ahead? I know a guy who told me his parents paid for all his stuff, his house, etc, and therefore all his work and all that (good tech guy) was just being saved up for HIS kids, ad-infinitum. They aren't trying to be rich - they just stay a generation ahead.

You are talking about unbelievable sums of wealth that are completely unavailable to the working poor. This is great advice for people who are already unbelievably privileged (probably most of us at HN) but it does jack shit for people who are living pay cheque to pay cheque because their pay cheque is barely enough to sustain any standard of living.
But it's only one change.+

+ Technically true. The scope will be equivalent to 50+ change tickets. And he'll be able to blame someone else for any issues that result.
The best intros to investors came to us from our customers.
> We have this public API that we're not exactly sure how it works version to version, and, oh, we've just changed our parsing code so if it breaks your stuff then tough shit because we're a bunch of amateurs.

Well that's pretty much PHP in a nutshell, no news there.
Just goes to show that the issue had become personal, not technical. The complainer was bent on showing Rasmus that his code was wrong (by implementing the change himself), not on fixing the problem in the easiest way.
Bad code style will eventually get you in trouble in any language or environment, bugs can occasionally turn into features and updates will always require testing, this is not a PHP specific problem at all.
> This behavior can be made consistent across every API so that the documentation has only one place to describe it.

Sounds like that's what 'zend_parse_parameters' does, actually.
Most font licenses get this badly wrong.

It LOOKS like they're trying to prevent WYSIWYG editors from using this font, but it also looks like they'd prevent me from adding it to an app I was shipping, by virtue of only allowing it to be embedded in a DOCUMENT.

Even most free font licenses get this wrong; they seem to WANT me to use it and redistribute it, but the way it's worded I can't. Sigh.

At least most new free fonts are using OFL now [1].

Thanks for this input!

I read an article once, about racism in the workplace, and how it creates a situation where minorities who succeed are harsher on people of the same minority than others are on anyone of that minority. I can't remember the name of the phenomenon, (or honestly the article) but it referenced an study done on successful women in the workplace, who followed that pattern as well. The general phenomenon was attributed to this general set of thoughts:

1. The successful person probably had some struggles getting to success, which were overcome. (No reference to help or not).

2. The successful person is has gained a tenuous foothold for the group, and is believes that they can help others succeed, but also worries that they might be seen as an exceptional outlier to the general stereotypical views the outlier holds to that group.

3. The successful person wants to get other people from the group in, but only knows the one path that worked for them. They also know the mistakes and have hindsight on "easier" ways.

4. Combining the fears about stereotypes, and the bits of wisdom they have, as well as the limited knowledge of successful paths (frequently there aren't a lot of other role models to compare with), they want to mold their successors into their understanding. The limited view, plus consequences of losing the foothold being a potentially big setback for the group, they tend to become very strict disciplinarians, as a way of maintaining the success path to a greater "beachead" for their group.

(I know this paraphrasing of the article is not the best, I'm pretty tired, and it was a long time ago I read about it.)

I don't know if this is what is happening in what you describe, but it reminded me of it. I'll see if I can dig up a reference, but perhaps just knowing about this will help you and other women at these events who are experiencing the problem you describe contextualize what is happening. Maybe it would help get the women who aren't being honest to open up about their mistakes and actual paths.

A different tack on this same thing: it might also be an outcropping of the common "i did this on my own" image of success that seems to be the cultural norm for successful people to project: if they had help, they shouldn't admit it, perhaps enhanced by the fact that in the dominant group, imperfections (such as admitting needing a mentor) are less judged than those same imperfections in a minority.
Staying in insert mode all the time is not ideal because you aren't usually inserting text all the time.

Since a large part of editing a text file is manipulating the text that is already there, most of what makes vim powerful hangs out in the other modes. In "normal" mode, you can type out two or three keys and quickly communicate not only where you want the cursor to begin editing, but also how much text you want to replace. There are a endless number of these short little sentences you can communicate to vim quickly about where and what you intend to edit.

This kind of complexity can be intimidating to a new vim user, especially if you go looking for a vim cheatsheet and find that keyboard layout that shows what each key does in each mode. YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT. At least, not yet. Just install the vimtutor package, repeat it every once in a while, and internalize the basics. Learn the things that are useful to you. Most vim questions are wildly googlable. Type in ":help", and read the description of how the command and navigation works. Then use it whenever you can't remember how every other command works.
BOTH behaviors don't make sense. The right behavior is to throw an exception.
I tell you you have 12/0 apples. Write the number of apples you have on a piece of paper. Some "functions" are not defined for all inputs. Better to give a "that doesn't make sense" answer than a bogus answer.

I believe you've confused spelling and grammar. In the future, when you're being condescending towards non-native English speakers - be sure to note the differences between spelling and grammar.
Leaving aside the irony of asking Rasmus to escalate the issue (this would be like complaining in an "Ask HN:" and suggesting that pg escalate the issue up the ycombinator chain), or whether the change was logical or not, I learned something cool from one aspect of Rasmus' response:

... there are many many people out there affected by these changes, we recognize that. That is also why we are not likely to reverse a change like this that others in your situation have now accounted for, tested and deployed in production for many months ... -- rasmus.

Good decisions don't always mean everyone goes home happy. Whether or not the change was good or bad, reversing it now could negatively impact anyone else who already adjusted. If it means "MONTHS" of work for this guy, in order to save "MONTHS" of work for 100 others who use PHP, so be it.

Even if we were to take a leap of faith and assume it was a bad decision by Rasmus to make the change in the first place, it's been done. Responding to inconsistency with more changes seems like trying to regain your balance by making wilder and wilder swings of your arms.
The municipalities didn't try to game any system. Any potential buyer who found closed auctions to be somehow unfair was free to choose not to participate. This is equivalent to what you're saying:

"The supermarket is trying to sell 20-oz sodas for $1.50 a pop, and now they get mad when I steal them instead? A policy of giving sodas away for free would not have created the stealing problem in the first place."
@iand - great, thanks for your advice.

The Ego: Antithesis Of Growth
There is definitely a brand integrity aspect to this but you are making light of what I think is the more significant aspect. What he claims is that this is a test of his own personal financial independence at work. A challenge to the value of being financially independent and the sacrifices required to attain the goal. In his words, "this is really a test of what financial independence is all about." That seems accurate. If he champions himself as financial independent, it would be personally dishonest to then do something undesirable for the sole purpose of further financial gain.

There is brand integrity there, but I think there is also personal integrity and resolve.
if you can't do that trivial change on some convulated release system... You don't change php version either. Unless you are addressing security changes.

I think its very professional to not bump versions just for the sake of it.

release notes exist for a reason.
What you have suggested is tax evasion. You must pay yourself reasonable rates, otherwise, you will be treated as evading employment taxes. For a white collar job, that means significantly more than minimum wage.

The penalties (higher back-interest rates and fines) for tax evasion are quite severe. Jailtime is also a possibility.
I got stuck on "endosquid writes critical tax reporting software in PHP?!", actually.
I've been waiting for this day for forever! This would be even more awesome with infographics.
Yes, certainly. I've seen the Photoshop 'curves' tool used to explain film characteristic curves and shadow placement before now - and it saves time when still using the K1000s! Students in UK Colleges learn film as well as digital.
As a UI designer, let me speak for most of the designers out there.
Designers =! Tech people. Probably they will know some html, css and hopefully js with a little understanding of php. (Man, that's a keeper!) BUT, in order to actually "pick up" a talented designer you need to "paint" your idea in a different way that you are already telling it. What I mean by that. We, designers don't have our logical part of our brain developed as well as you have, so what I'm saying by this is you need to figure out a more "emotional"/creative way to sell your idea to the designers.
For instance you can tell them "how this ugly ass looking app made millions or had so many people using it".

In most mature programming languages we resolve this kind of dispute by pointing to the Standard. Is that not possible with PHP?
I'm not an expert on the site content, but I think it's about how to require little enough money that you don't have to live like that. The focus is on needing less, rather than making more.
You have now suggested two forms of tax evasion: falsely allocating income to "dividends" and using offshore tax shelters. Please stop trying to give tax advice.

Bonuses are income. They are taxed as ordinary income (or the equivalent of ordinary income in E.U. nations). Bonuses are not given lower rates; if anything, certain types of bonuses are subject to higher rates than ordinary income. Companies pay bonuses because bonuses are discretionary, while salaries are contractual. In other words, giving a bonus one year does not commit them to paying the bonus again the following year.
The limitation is to prevent distribution to your software's users.

Isn't that an inherent requirement of using the font in software/websites/etc? If I have, say, an open source CMS, I'd have to ship the font somewhere with the code to be able to use it in the UI, no?

There will always be incentives for corruption. For instance, your money is not flowing to me at the moment, which I find to be highly inefficient.

Giving me all your money would remove the incentive to rob you.

Also, are you seriously appealing to anarchist idealism as a justification for bid-rigging? How many of these intellectuals who are using their brainpower to rip off local governments could keep their small fortunes for more than a month in a state of anarchy? They're precisely the kind of people who benefit the most from the existence of a state, so cry me a river at the injustice of them having to play by the state's rules.
In this kind of situation where there's a bug or limitation or some kind of issue with a language function we usually create a wrapper to handle the whatever rules we have internally within the company. In this case the empty string that is supposed to be NULL should be handled within that wrapper function. One function to modify instead of several places in the application.

Yardsale beats CL and eBay by the mobile route. eBay's app is ok, and craigslist doesn't have an official one.

tools shouldn't rely on undocumented behavior when passing out-of-spec parameters into functions. Relying on such behavior eventually gets you what you deserve.
I suggest you read the article more carefully. The comedian in the article is being investigated for using a tax shelter to evade British taxes. If you read more about the K2 tax shelter, you will learn that British tax authorities consider it to be illegal (obviously, taxpayers using the K2 do not) and are launching enforcement actions.
treatment = profit while cure stops all income
Interesting point on the "avoid debt," because that's what naive young adults here are told not to worry about. Get a student loan, no problem - bank overdraft, fine. They are roped into the system when they're young and naive, and they spend half of their adult working life trying to climb their way out of it before they can really start saving whilst still paying off their mortgages.

I agree with your sentiments about being conservative with your finances, and there's no doubt a huge portion of poor people are terrible with money. You see people struggling to pay rent, but queuing up for the new iPhone - such way of living is ludicrous, and they are bound to stay poor that way. The reality is they don't need it - you don't need gadgets, fashion accessories, takeaways, beer, drugs and other money drains - but at the same time, if you're not buying the latest and greatest, someone else isn't making enough money - which is considered bad for the economy. They encourage you to spend.
How about a unified alliance of websites refusing to support old browsers?
Strength in numbers. All websites can signup to a common message that refuses visitors with old browsers.
Yes, you can make money off apps. Niche, targetted apps at certain segments is probably the easiest way (as opposed to mass market products like Angry Birds, Instagram, etc.)

I started app development 6 months ago and had to learn programming from scratch. I generate probably the same salary I'd make in a business/marketing job, except my app income is passive income so I have free time to work on new projects, or use as leisure.
Random fan on Newegg has ~2W power draw, so not much. But many processors are limited by heat dissipation, so better heat transfer could mean faster clock speeds (think water cooling, but much more convenient). Also means the fans could run much quieter (see the video), which makes sense since most of the fan's energy is going into noise/vibrations.
Another fun typeof quirk that the table leaves out:

Regular Expressions, depending on the V8 or Nitro engine version, are implemented to return either 'object' or 'function' http://bonsaiden.github.com/JavaScript-Garden/#types.typeof

Recent versions of V8 and Nitro return 'object' now, but presumably, there are many people still running browsers that return 'function'.

Seems like it relies on whether or not the RegExp is callable, but that the 2 engines removed 'function' as they ceased supporting callable RegExes. http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=617
I've not suggested tax evasion - stop exaggerating.

The only point I've mentioned is one of tax avoidance, which is in common practice. I've not advised you to do it either, just making a point that it is done - the system is unfair - people avoid tax (legally), whilst you are paying your honest share.

And please, Americans - are you able to think outside of your own country and it's laws?

This discussion seems to be mostly theoretical, so as someone who actually has $7 million, I'll provide my experience. In summary, not life-changing - my life is pretty much like the average engineer. I'm not spending like a rock star - your car, computer, stereo, clothes, etc are probably better than mine. (Although my house is a bit larger than average for Silicon Valley: 5br/3ba in an unfashionable city.) It's not enough money to feel even slightly important or rich in Silicon Valley. I don't feel like the "money problem" is solved; I plan to keep working for the foreseeable future.

I suppose I could move to somewhere like Kansas and retire, and live an upper-middle class life, but I don't see the point in that. (The "official" recommended spending rate of 4% would yield a high but not enormous income. Expecting 6-8% income is crazy talk.) The obvious HN answer is to start a company, but a) I'd be bad at it, b) I wouldn't enjoy it, c) I'd probably end up losing a pile of money, d) large opportunity cost, and e) health care.

Trying to summarize: the people who say a few million doesn't go far in Silicon Valley are right. It eliminates various problems (and I do sympathize with those with financial difficulties), but otherwise hasn't changed much for me. (Or maybe I'm just using it wrong.)
