@khleedril Just over a decade ago, PHP got its most infamous criticism (eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fracta…). Many of these have been addressed in the time since. The discussions about rewrites are just noise, as usual. But we’ve had memory-safe languages for a while […]

DJ is someone I’ve entrusted with my life on more than one occasion, and I have no doubt I will again many times in the future. He’s reliable, dependable, honest, knowledgeable and wickedly smart. I unconditionally recommend him for any position.

@jonobie If you end up going for old theme songs, just be cognisant of the fact that many surviving recordings are all treble and no bass. It can get very uncomfortable and painful to many people at loud-ish volume. Play a few before the party to get a feel for what volume works. Double check […]
