>to think that we should have all these simple axioms, and then out of left field accept the continuum hypothesis as an axiom is a bit weird don't you think?

It's like the parallel postulate - famously much more awkward and complicated than the other axioms of geometry, and you can do most of geometry the same with or without it. But even so, most of us choose to use standard euclidean geometry and accept the parallel postulate.

>also weird is that we can build up all this mathematical machinery from the ZF axioms, but still can't answer some seemingly innocuous questions.

I think of it like this: "the language of mathematics is expressive enough that we can formulate nonsense questions". If you look at it that way the incompleteness theorem isn't terribly surprising; in natural language any five year old can ask unanswerable questions.

I'd like to come out with some pithy remark along the lines of “the plural of anecdote is not data”, but this isn’t even a plural. Here’s a logical fallacy: Someone gave the author a piece of advice, the author didn’t listen to it, the author failed, therefore the advice is true. Does anyone see the problem here?
Apache Camel 2.10 Released
This is where, the owner of the PGP key hopefully have verified themselfs by setting up a web of trust.

In other words, that they have passed the key along to employees and other trusted (ie. large web-of-trust) tiers - which in turn have put their keys to use to verify that this key belongs to the security team of Heroku.

To verify the verifications, you could contact one of the trusted parties and ask them how they are sure that the particular key is correct - if in doubt.
I think this 100x rule is not unique to software. Consider athletes for example. The best athletes are much much better than the merely very good. For example, the top tennis player would defeat the 500th best every single time barely losing a single game. And the world no. 500 would defeat a good amateur 6-0 6-0 (as David Foster Wallace found out).
I have not found this to be the case. There are a lot of small/medium sized companies that probably started out with a custom Drupal/Wordpress site and have now out-grown it, but don't want to re-write the whole system just so that they can use Python/Ruby.

Using PHP is then a no-brainer and so moving the codebase to Symfony2 is a great option for them. While Wordpress and Drupal command such a large share of the website market, there will always be decent young companies emerging who are also tied-in to the PHP community.
What's wrong with array_keys? It's extremely useful.

Java has keySet(), Ruby has hash.keys, etc.

Your second argument is even dumber. Yes, PHP lets you do lots of things, which improve the speed of development. If you don't like it, don't write it that way.
It appears they didn't, but in answer to your question generally, many APIs will often be subject to usage limitations. Twitter and Google Maps being two examples that immediately spring to mind.

Disagree. The iPad is largely geared at consuming content.

The features of the surface allow users to be able to create content. They can use Office, Visual Studio, PhotoShop, etc.

These things just simply can't be done on an iPad.

You know what to do on an iPad because your options are limited.

I don't think not liking language so broken as php is a blind prejudice. That language is garbage. His creator said so many times. You don't have to care about that, but don't act like it's not true.

You're comparing it to frameworks. You don't need a framework to handle URL routing, input parsing, output headers, etc. You save a PHP file and it's a URL; no routing. The query string, POST body, request headers, uploaded files, etc. are already parsed and sitting in variables in your global namespace. Output will automatically go to the web server, with the appropriate headers already set. No downloading or configuring of frameworks, no deploying. It "just works", to the point that an empty .php file with no source code at all is a working URL.

You can have a framework, you can do your own routing, input parsing, output sanitizing, and all the other things Rails/Django do. But unlike Ruby/Python, you don't need to just to get started on the web.

I think the central complaint would be that the site in addition to taking traffic away from Youtube, was then serving ads to users of the site thereby obtaining revenue.

Google probably have no issue with individuals using tools to download mp3s (or at least realise there is nothing to be gained in pursuing action) but when third party sites are intentionally diverting revenue away, this is bound to cause issues.

The legal analysis is interesting in terms of copyright infringement. Particularly as to whether the existing method used by Youtube is a 'technical measure' designed to prevent infringement.

I think it arguably is as a large majority of users will not download videos direct as a result of the system used by Youtube.
I'm no management guru but I can see a couple of major problems:

(1) Some teams are necessary but won't make a direct profit, eg. internal IT, customer service.

(2) It could encourage a team to make a profit at the expense of another team; eg. the Office team might release a buggy product quickly (maximizing their profit by not testing it) knowing that the customer service team are the ones who'll suffer a loss supporting it.
I believe there are many A players who perform on B or C level because they are managed by B or C players. Steve Jobs was an A-level CEO, who knew how to inspire his employees and ignite their potential to be 50 or 100 better. Not many CEOs are like that.

If an A-level developer can perform 50x or 100x better than average, I'd guess that an A-level CEO can perform 500x or 1000x better.
Right, most people who decide to use PHP aren't overly concerned about performance. And the folks who are concerned about it tend to choose other solutions (say, node.js, for example). The funny part is that it's fairly easy to take even bloated PHP apps like wordpress and turn them into high performance sites on very modest hardware.
Microsofts failure is most evident in their stock staying flat or dropping the last years, while all their competitors stock has soared, including Apples. That's the overall indicator of failure, and the one their owners care about.

But look underneath, and you find failure in every attempt Microsoft has made to branch out of their existing businesses, except for the Xbox.

Mobile? Lost to Apple and Google. Music? Lost to Apple. Instant messaging and identity (.net Passport)? Lost to Facebook. Tablets? Lost to Apple. There are countless examples like this.

Given all those failures, that nice cash flow will only be sustained until the Windows monopoly is replaced by something else. Windows 8 is Microsofts desperate response to something that threatens to do that.
Yeah, but it's pretentious as hell and is impractical.
That last bit is crucial - surround yourself with people smarter than you - otherwise you'll spend most of your time solving complex problems in inefficient ways, which could very much work against you.

You get the same issues almost no matter what you write a website in, whether it's PHP, C#, Rails, or node.js. When you get to the level of scale that Facebook is at you are in a realm that conventional web application tooling and frameworks don't cover. If anything the "best" and most trusted platform for what facebook is doing today would be java. Does that mean java is the "best" web platform? Not in the least.

The central fallacy here is imagining that one size could or should fit all, whether it's php or rails or anything.

Is there a project of Facebook scale which does not have "their own" at the very core, no matter initial choice of technology? My understanding is that by solving problems no one had to solve before you are bound to create "your own" stuff.

Some languages makes it easier, some make it hard. I would argue that PHP falls into the "hard" camp. And C would definitely be in the "very, very hard" camp.

And then you have stricter languages like C# which makes doing things proper the default, although often at the expense of making other things harder.

That said: This is definitely crossing the line between factual and subjective right now. And I can see how this is a subject open to discussion.
Yes, you can truly say they use PHP. You are confusing the language and the interpreter. I've seen Facebook engineers comment on threads like this and say the same thing I just have.
Govt of himachal Pradesh developed to religious tourist destination
The Government of Himachal Pradesh is very keen to develop Aadi Himani Chamunda Dham near Dharamshala as a major religious tourist destination. They want to develop these places in the same way as Shri Vaishno Devi and Shri Amar Nath Shrines. These places attract a lot of tourists and the Himachal Government is keen to ensure that the same success can be replicated at Dharamshala. It will also help to develop the areas and generate employment for people in Dharamshala and surrounding areas.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal revealed this after doing an aerial survey of Aadi Himani Chamunda Dham in Kangra district.

It's positive feedback loop but there have to be brave souls to start.
Sorry have to quibble on that last sentence. I'm transitioning from PHP to Python at the moment and I constantly keep thinking "jesus, I wish docs.python.org was as good as php.net".
I think you're right about the disparity applying elsewhere, but I disagree with your example of athletes. Beating an opponent consistently is not the same as beating an opponent by a factor of 50. For example: I'm no sprinter, but Usain Bolt runs less than 2x faster than me. And there are thousands of athletes who are a few percent slower than the best. They don't even get to the Olympic qualifiers.

On the other hand, I've seen productivity vary drastically among knowledge workers. It would be interesting to see studies involving actual numbers, since I think 10x between average and best is an exaggeration. Worst and best, maybe. But a lot of that is because the worst programmers can cause more problems than they solve.
There's looking cool, and there's being functional. This has even less personality than their current branding.
I would separate each service into an add-on package, eg: 'express-cdn-rackspace'

The worst is botany. Botanists use common culinary words to describe almost entirely non-overlapping sets of plants/fruit etc. The "Tomato a fruit?" question is nothing compared to the "berry" thing. According to the botanical definition cherries, raspberries, strawberries, boysenberries and blackberries are not berries, but bananas, watermelon, avocado and pumpkin are.

Nuts are worse. According botanists, peanuts, cashews, macadamias, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pine-nuts and Brazil nuts are not nuts. According to most lay-people, though, botanists are nuts.
The fact that your friend can ask you for a favor in return is Guanxi, and is certainly a characteristic of Chinese culture that provides accountability and also is factor in whom one befriends.

The fact that a favor was required to get a visa that presumably you qualified for (or if it was used to get one that you didn't qualify for as well) is borderline corruption, even if no currency or goods were exchanged, since Guanxi dictates that at very least a favor is now owed. I have friends from China that talk about situations like this that include obtaining marriage licenses and dealing with fees associated with second and third children.

To be honest I don't like PHP for exactly the reasons I don't like javascript.

It's easy to write in a way which is stupid.

You can write good php and you can write cool stuff with it. It is easy to non-technical folk to pickup and write a little bit of.

It's also amazingly easy to:

1) Write code which is broken and stupid (woops, left error_reporting(E_ALL) on! silly me. dumped all the passwords out into the website. woops. stabs designer)

2) Write code which is clever, but different from the coding style of every other piece of code in the project (>_> look, my js is so clever, its using closures for everything and events and... oh, you guys weren't doing that? um... ok. Well, now we have some piece of code that only one person knows how to understand stabs self important javascript ninja with spoon).

3) Introduce bugs.

Managing your developers is really the key. If you can keep your php programmers in line, and keep bad code out of your project, php isn't that bad.

...but its that much harder to do when twice as many people are working on the code, and some of them belong to another team.

Right, but Facebook supposedly receives 1 billion new comments + a couple billion likes + a couple hundred million status updates daily, and is probably the largest photo sharing site on the net. Twitter gets about 200 million tweets daily and Reddit has 250 million comments total. Disqus is not much larger than Reddit.

So, since most people here are suggesting Python or Ruby, what real world example can we provide that compares to Facebook in order to make sure that these languages would perform better than PHP?

Neither Twitter, nor Reddit or Disqus are exactly the most stable and performant sites out there. So?

I would say that quick and dirty comparisons like this are meaningless.
I personally feel that anything where the words "and the judges' scores are ..." get uttered shouldn't be an Olympic sport.
"What’s the difference between development mode and production mode? The most obvious difference is that in development mode, you won’t be charged a single credit. The flip side is that your datasets are limited to 1 Mb. That naturally also limits your model training data to 1 Mb."

Good concept, but 1MB is too tiny to risk the time investment necessary to learn your system.
This tit-for-tat has gotten far away from what the article says. I stand by my previous claim that...

"The article specifically mentions the Mississippi River, and compares the cost of transport by sea, road, and rail. Control of waterways has always been key to great power status. Controlling the world's oceans, especially chokepoints like Panama, Singapore, and Hormuz, lets the US project maritime power. Controlling the Altantic slave trade gave England, France, and Spain the upper hand at various times, and big wars were fought for the prize. Joining the Yellow and Yangtze rivers into one via the Grand Canal around 600ad by the Sui/Tang dynastry is what propelled China to become the world's greatest power for a thousand years. The Romans took over the entire Mediterranean, settling the entire coastline, after smashing Hannibal. And of course, control of the Nile, Euphrates/Tigris, Indus, and Yellow river basins is what made agriculture viable in the first place. It was the abundant crops that allowed some Americans to think about liberty. An Amerindian displaced from the Mississippi 200 yrs ago or a homeless Black 50 yrs ago won't understand any of the liberty and rule of law there's been."

Simple, back when the browser shake-up was going on (early 2000s) Opera was a paid browser, or a free browser with banner advertisements. It was also Windows only for a long time.

I have to admit that I've turned down potential freelance stuff when the customer requests PHP (or has signed up for a service that only allows PHP).
