Alternate take and apparently unpopular opinion: the US government can simply force Apple to give them a back door to access iCloud photos directly. What Apple has done here is both way more complicated and way more…
The article makes it sounds like they are replacing PageRank. According to the paper it's orthogonal to PageRank. It's just another signal to consider. The other assumption seems to be that this will cause site authors…
"...but it's society as a whole causing this rather than government(s) specifically" It sounds like you are claiming that state surveillance is actually a subset of social pressure surrounding what's socially acceptable…
Good points, I think it's not really the right tool for what you are doing. It's more for large teams and big code bases.
This is correct. OO codifies the pattern of having a struct and a set of functions that operate on it. The syntax does help humans reason about that pattern. But my understanding is that the goal is more about the human…
Well, yeah, I agree that the SPL types are nice to have. My complaint is that PHP's only first-class array type is a weird array/map combo. Have you ever seen anything like that in another language? The SPL types are…
This is great news. PHP doesn't have many structured data types, so arrays (aka maps) are basically used for everything. Any improvement to them will impact the entire application. It would be nice to have separate…
There's a slight chance that the government doesn't care about the bigger issue. I guess this would be like nailing a mobster for tax evasion.
