Don't sweat it.

Some of the people who raise the biggest fuss about PHP are also people who never dealt with it (except through Wordpress).

I mostly program in Python these days, but I used PHP for years beforehand without much drama. I even enjoyed it at times. Yes, I do have a Comp Sci bachelors degree and I probably should care more - but I found it a lot more interesting not to have to deal with fiddling around with servers in order to perform my job.

The critiques of the language aren't baseless, but plenty of large startups manage to do just fine with PHP.

TLDR: Languages are meaningless penis measuring contests of the IT world. If you will ship faster and better with language X, go ahead and use it.
This: You are using the "what should my income be for banks to give me a mortgage" figure, not the "what does a mortgage cost" figure. At 5% interest, a mortgage on $900,000 costs $45,0000 a year on interest.

Semi-unrelated, am I the only one astounded at how effective Google was in making the Blogger reading experience as terrible as it could be? http://cl.ly/HaPS

Power consumption isn't great compared to a dedicated router, obviously. Noise wasn't a problem - old hardware doesn't put out much heat, so cooling it with fans is easily do-able at very low noise levels.

A future project I have in mind is to do the same thing but with ultra low power components, e.g. Intel Atom or something along those lines. I aim to get under 10W draw from the wall.
I more or less ONLY take photos of stuff I found. And usually kitsch, too. Insects on flowers, clouds, swans, street art is basically 50% of my photos. For me it's not so much "look at what I've made", but "look at what I've found!". Maybe there is still an element of pride in it, but it's more the pride of a kid bringing sea shells home from the beach... and it's not my problem if boring adults don't get that :)

Having said that, having worked with a photographer for a while, I don't consider what I do "real photography"... that woman thought about shots for months, planned them for weeks, made them in hours or over the course of days! Now that is actually what it says on the tin, "painting with light".

So without any bitterness, I simply cannot call what you and I do, no matter how much we enjoy it, the same thing. It would be like comparing writting a shopping list to "writing", to Kafka or something. It may seem to be the same act to the casual observer, but it really isn't. But then again, by that standard most professional photographers aren't photographers either. Hmm I'm rambling, sorry; that woman impressed me loads, what can I say. So obsessed, so good.
I have no clue. I think I know why I'm not poor

1. Luck to be born in Germany
2. My parents did everything despite their low incomes to get me to university and support me with everything I've ever tried - and got me out of stupid situations I got myself into
3. Luck to get a job in the early 90s for programming web sites when very few people could do that, although the job offer was out there already for 3 months. Because someone at university told me during holiday about something called "WWW"
4. Luck that my girl friend left me - somehow - and I wanted to get over that by working a lot
5. Luck that I got VC financed and become CTO of a startup during the dot com boom

As you note, one of the problems most cited with PHP is core language functions behaving in a non-coherent/non-consistent manor. This change was in-fact to bring this particular function in line with most of the others, i.e. to make it behave more coherently/consistently. It was documented, done in a major release, and done alongside a number of other (well publicised) breaking changes. Not everyone is going to be happy when things change, but I think this was a sensible development decision for the PHP team.

In a recent fictional book about poverty in the UK, two types if poverty were identified.

Sure and there are chinese walls etc but if there is the possibility of making huge amounts of money someone within the structure will attempt to subvert those controls. The question is to what extent firms seek to root out those practices or if they become part of the culture and (unofficially of course) accepted.

The current cases involving LIBOR rigging (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-23/london-banks-seen-r...) seem to mirror this article and the debate over Goldman Sachs possible collusion with hedge funds trading against CDOs in 2008 seem to point to the need to ask serious questions about how banks and investment firms conduct themselves.

Do you have a very concise source that will answer the most immediate stumbling block to even considering this idea: how will you enforce contracts? Every time I ask I either get pointed to web sites that probably answer my question somewhere (but I'm not the one selling anything here so I don't feel the onus to do most of the work) or told about private contract enforcement agencies. Since the bulk of what government is is violent force or threat thereof, wouldn't this just be privatized rent-a-governments?

A lot of the time, it's developers who don't use PHP who complain its not standardised, and developers who do use PHP who complain when it does change!
To be contrary, I'm a PHP developer who likes the on-going standardisation, but didn't really find it too big a problem the existing way. YMMV.
Have you tried jQuery? The API:s to interact with the browser really sucks, but the core language isn't too bad IMHO.

If you abstract away the browser differences in event handling and DOM, it's pretty straight forward to build GUI:s.
> The other is intentional- individuals taking full advantage of government benefits. In the UK generations of families have been stuck in this category.

The UK tax and benefits system creates perverse incentives. The systems are baffling (advisors for tax or for benefits need a lot of training (accountants need degree level studying and qualifications)) and interlocking. They are handled by different government departments. Mistakes are common. If the people paying the benefit make a mistake to your detriment nothing happens. (Or if you make a mistake to your detriment.) (And if you don't notice in time you're unlikely to get that money ever.) But if they make a mistake in your favour that money will be clawed back, no matter how long ago the mistake was made. And if you make a mistake in your favour, or if you don't report their mistakes in your favour, you risk interview under caution, arrest, and prosecution.

Compare this treatment of people who are poor with, for example, very wealthy companies taking extreme borderline legal tax avoidance measures.

People who have learned dependence might not feel deserving, but getting them off benefit and into work isn't as easy as clubbing them with punishments. Especially since it was society that put them there.

Here's an example of Vodafone:

Well in the number-script compiler, it verifies code by running it (I'm not sure if that qualifies).

Also, you would get stuck on code with infinite loops.

PHP is a dynamically typed language, so although it expects a number, it will accept a string as it will try and parse that string into a number (e.g. you could pass it the string "2.23232" and it will work in the same way as if you pass it 2.23232 as a float). In this particular case, as the empty string can't be parsed into a number, it does indeed throw a PHP warning and treats it as a null input. My understanding is that it used to return 0 and that was considered a bug by some (although others, including the author of the function, decided that as the return type was a number it should ALWAYS return a number). The change that is under "dispute" in this case is that it has indeed been changed to return null, which is what most people now agree is the best way, and is consistent with other PHP functions.

I think you got it exactly right. Of course they want to keep having the best native App catalogue, but for those devs who DO decide to go the mobile web app route they don't want to block their users from using it on iOS devices, since this would lower their satisfaction with iOS.

Conversely, they don't support flash because of the poor / non existant mobile hardware support which leads to bad performance and -again- unsatisfied users. With this move they want to force developers to use either html5 or native apps.

You can say lots of things about their app store policies, but their html5 adoption strategy is pretty rock solid and it's good we have a giant of Apple's calibre behind this in order to nudge the ecosystem in that direction.

In a more general response: I don't think what I stated obscures what's notable about the system, I feel I stated exactly what was notable and specifically avoided overstating it.

Overhyping when it comes to machine learning and AI seems to be the norm and has already hurt AI/ML severely in the past[1].

More specifically: I didn't disagree with anything you've stated, simply pointed out that labeled training data is necessary in response to the statement that it wasn't.The high-level feature extraction the paper discusses is unsupervised but the classifiers it produces are semi-supervised. It's an important distinction.

The verify phase was just defining an inline function but not running it. However, I just noticed that a program with carefully placed braces could jump out of the function box and actually run. I replaced the checker with just Function(src) which shouldn't have that problem and is much faster.

Also, you would get stuck on code with infinite loops.

Or you could just set a timeout.
If we only checked that produced program has valid syntax, instead of running it, we won't have problems with loops. Many gibberish programs would be produced, but some usefull also, eventually. We just wouldn't know which ones are the useful ones, but it shouldn't matter for copyright?

So it seems documenting is the real work, and programming is something that can be automated :)

But without the hyperbole, people won't get engaged, they won't get angry.

Now, to some extent that engagement is being sought in order to sell Rolling Stone, but I think that both Matt and the Rolling Stone editors believe that they're talking about something that matters & that people should be angry about. Hence the hyperbole.

If they wrote a dry academic paper and published it in some economics journal somewhere it might contain exactly the same information but it would have negligible impact.

> This change was in-fact to bring this particular function in line with most of the others, i.e. to make it behave more coherently/consistently.

Well technically I believe it was done to unify argument parsing, but so far so good.

> to make it behave more coherently/consistently.

except this made all argument parsing (and especially this function) less coherent and consistent with PHP-the-actual-language: in PHP userland code, a string in a numeric concept will be implicitly converted to a number (to 0 if it is not prefixed by digits). This function used to behave coherently with PHP itself, as a language. Now it doesn't anymore. So all built-ins behave one way, the language itself behaves in the opposite way.

> It was documented

Not really, there was a note indicating plenty of shit broke (and it was ambiguous, the note says things about passing in incompatible parameters, but as far as PHP-the-language goes strings are compatible with floats), not listing functions which broke and in which manner.
Youtube contains a lot of educational material you would not find otherwise. If I wanted to learn sewing on a sewing machine, I would just watch some video tutorials - try that with a book on sewing. Same thing with instructions on how to play instruments. Heck you can even watch videos on how to fix problems with your car engine. Many procedural instructions can't be transported properly via papers or books. It also allows asynchronous video messaging for laymen asking experts stuff which is difficult to get via written text. I bet that youtube will contribute very much to knowledge preservation and distribution in the long term.

Yup, indeed this is the main problem here. I work with PHP for many years, but i would not suggest using PHP layer as core of my "Taxing software", PHP is not statically typed means it's not suited well for this job, in e-commerce sites i built in past there were always problems when it gets to tax calculations, you learn to deal with it by wrapping your calculation code in the right way and testing it currently.

It is probably the case when unskilled programmers just used number_format() directly instead of wrapping it with "Tax" class that does that you want it to do, and nothing else. it was indeed common in PHP 4, but we have moved since then.
