Care to elaborate on where you're drawing the line between The Internet and The Web? Your comment doesn't make it clear.

VERY laggy on Android FF.
urban_alien··on Charles Bukowski, William Burroughs, and the Computer (2009)
What a beautiful story, thanks for sharing.
urban_alien··on HTTP/3 is everywhere but nowhere
Ok, HTTP/3 is mobile centric. But why not fallback to HTTP/2 in all other cases?
urban_alien··on Upcoming Hardening in PHP
Are these issues very particular to PHP? Honest question, this is all above my current programming knowledge.

Care to elaborate? I'm curious.

What is Cpython if not a C library? I imagine that makes Python not a programming language as well?

The title is obviously a provocation to spark discussion, and you could have done a better job engaging in it instead of dividing everything into true or false. "HTH"!

urban_alien··on Show HN: Dropbase – Build internal web apps with just Python
Not strange at all! Leave those assumptions behind, take a look at symfony/console and minicli. PHP is not shiny or snarky as Python, but resilient and "boring". The "dirtness" that you are feeling is just a way to keep those insufferable people that you mentioned out.

> Integer ID's are always a bad thing.

You are very wrong and wildly misunderstanding the problem that UUIDs solve

urban_alien··on Things you should do now (2011)
I've been using PHP professionally for 5+ years and never experienced it either. Sounds to me that this is just bad coding
urban_alien··on Dontpad
