@Saltssaltgirl That's why I keep a copy of this on hand. 😁

@foone Hm. I usually just mount the source directory into the container, but that may not work for you.

@foone I will hunt you down and take away all your small parts and melt them into a non-working toaster if you do this.

@foone Eh. It pays the bills, and is putting the kids through college. But I'm teaching the team type hinting (I blame perl and damn Larry Wall for the strength of dynamic types that PHP copied in spirit), application of functional programming concepts, and that useful variable names does NOT mean your code is self documenting. Like one does.

@foone I know, right?I decided to go from a static page to a static page with a little bit of ajax in the back to yoink data from the DB to show the visitor. Turn on MySQL, make sure there's no obvious weaknesses in the setup and define a schema. That took longer than writing the service in PHP and just dropping it in the doc root directory.About the only other language that is that easy to setup and go, to me, is Perl. That being said, I would never support mod_perl unless you tripled my paycheck. And 'venv'? Who came to with that? I mean, yeah, it keeps your chocolate out of my peanut butter, but still. I might as well 'dotnet new whatever's. At least with that I get compilation and static type checking. And don't get me started on ...Oh. Y'all aren't listening now. Ok. So, yeah. PHP is simple and handy. The end.

@foone See, I could've used that when I smoked and was playing ingress out in the cold.

@foone That is perfect. I'd also have at least 1 battery pack with me, so I wouldn't have to much with my phone then.

Every optimization encodes a guess about the future that will eventually become embarrassing.

@aral My pet project, given a time machine, would be to stop slavery from ever starting up in the U.S.A.A) I assume I've got infinite funds, because hey, time machine. B) I understand naval logistics to a small degree, based on experience. C) I'd be able to change my plans as slavers true to change theirs.How do? Mine the slaver lanes with lots of explosives, constantly. Any that got missed, could be taken care of retroactively.D) Explosions are cool. 😁A general approach to the question of "Why....?" regarding human behavior is "Because $$$." So, if you make it too expensive to run a slave trade because all your ships heading East become toothpicks, captains sometimes survive telling ghost stories of people appearing out of thin air and causing havoc before the ship became toothpicks. After a while, people aren't going to invest money in making slavery profitable. Also deal with anyone who decides to switch to indentures.What this does, going forward, I'm not smart enough to say. Is agriculture in the South profitable enough that landowners would still invest in and be able to produce large amounts of goods at a profit if they have to pay their workers? Dunno. U.S. slavery gave us the Senate and the civil war. Jim Crow laws gave Hitler ideas. Underlying it for me though is that people shouldn't own people.Colonialism is a much bigger picture that I don't have enough of an understanding, big picture wise, that I'd feel comfortable taking on by my lonesome.
