RE: Why I won’t be compromising with Justin Sun
So in practice, it is just taking the existing code, changing the chain ID marker, and spinning up a bunch of witnesses? That's easier than forking the existing chain?

RE: Communities Have Arrived!
Hm. Can I post a bug report? :-) It seems the description and rules fields for a community do not support line breaks. They say you should post one rule per line, but hitting Enter does nothing;…

Oh! That's an entirely different animal. I wouldn't trust any cryptocurrency that isn't 100% Free Software, frankly. I barely trust cryptocurrency at all. :-) And IMO government should be…

RE: Book review: Functional Programming in PHP
Long-form writing definitely has its place in the learning process. Books can be a way to explain complicated concepts that require more background and detail than a blog post. If they're in…

RE: Book review: Functional Programming in PHP
In a previous life I was an IT journalist covering handhelds and cellphones. Back when the really good devices still ran Palm OS. :-) I still remember a few things.

RE: Book review: Functional Programming in PHP
Thanks. As I said in the opener, I really wanted to like it, but it fell so short I can't really endorse it.

RE: Don't use Mocking libraries

RE: PHP: Use associative arrays basically never
Interesting observation! If you're sorting an array, yes, that would make a big difference. However, the purpose of usort() here was to provide a direct comparison between objects and arrays, so…

RE: PHP: Never type hint on arrays
They have their uses, totally. If you have a low-cardinality list of things an array is absolutely a reasonable tool to use for it. It's type hinting against that array that is rarely useful.
