This is the end. The fact that they had to say that this is "free of charge" means they are thinking about cost. Both to them now and us in the future. This sucks.
If google is now actively keeping you away from content, whats the point in creating?
"Neuromuscular Cyborg Aim Assist"
People kept asking me to automate it, but I felt it was against the spirit of mTurk. So, another member would take my updates and add an auto-clicker. That lasted for a couple of weeks at most before the HIT volume dried up and very few would be released. I guess Amazon caught on to what was happening. But before that, several forum members made enough to get some high dollar items: laptops, speakers, etc. Eventually, I relented and created a wishlist. Thats how I ended up with the box sets for the first run of Futurama seasons.
You are correct that we do not threaten jobs either. A large majority of the foreign population is working low/unskilled jobs. Generally, the native population is not wanting those jobs.
One function works against a single element, whereas the other works against multiple. In that case, the parameter order is more meaningful. You can use array_walk if you want (arr, callback), but that only works against a single array -- similarly to array_filter.
If we want to change the param order of str/array functions for php, I think we should start with fixing the C libraries. That seems like a better starting point. The impact will certainly be more beneficial to even more developers than just php.
When you use the correct verbiage, the parameter order makes sense.
So much of this post feels like alternate history and gloating. Its cool that he wrote a wrapper around an existing library, but his main argument is that C will still be around in "the upcoming decades." Im willing to bet money on Hugo/go existing and still working too -- or any number of other static-site generators.
edit: This can all be done with just pushing markdown files to github anyway. Github will automatically generate the html if you do some basic configuration in your repo.
I got my kicks though with a BF6 and a 300A. Those were the times; atleast until the AthlonXPs (AXIA -- anybody?) were released.
