I don’t think so, seems like I am a part of a rag-tag group of people who are doing “jobs” to get rich. I don’t think we have any formal government or organization backing.

I guess I don’t know the full story of everyone I am working with yet. So there could be a twist I am unaware of.


Everspace 2: Why am I not considered a Pirate?
I am enjoying the game, except one thing in the story that keeps coming up and causes me cognitive dissonance. I am in the first system and it isn't clear to me why we are not considered Pirates. The characters are always saying stuff like "Don't be a Pirate" or "Kill all the Pirates". And then we do stuff like steal from factions/corporations that are neutral to us. Why doesn't that cause us to be Pirates? We literally accidentally kidnapped someone. I am so confused.

Is there anything you can’t do in Kenshi?


You have ruined my assumptions of SQL coders. How dare you! /s /dramatic


It does and I use it and I love it.

But I now, thanks to this post, see I am weak. I must feel pain to feel alive! /s


The author of this article needs to touch grass.

I get it. I was a new leftist once too. Hoping there was some way I could push the system such that we would reach our leftist utopia before I die. But the reality is harsh. We’re not going to fix this in our lifetimes and we’re going to suffer for it, and that’s okay.

Let’s put political power in where we can and prepare the next generations of leftist to be successful.

A revolution only works when we have agreement on a large enough scale to be successful. We are not there yet. Consolidating ideologies only going to hurt us at this point.


I don’t get the top square. I thought PHP was for generating HTML, not for creating EXEs.


Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn’t. This is the first post I have seen pointing out a flaw in PHP on Reddit or Lemmy. If you ask me JavaScript gets it the worst out of all of the languages. I don’t see those guys whining.

What I will say is that the majority of PHP developers I interact with on this post has led me to believe that there is a number of PHP developers that take things way to personally that they really shouldn’t. Seriously you guys aren’t doing your language any favors. No one’s going to want to join the whine club.


Okay, even if I give you the unexpected behavior point. The readability problem remains. Switch statements or tables will work just fine and are easier to read.

To be clear, I am fine with single ternary operations. I think nested ternary operations are harder to read and follow.


Well, if you assume ternary operations work the same in PHP as in c and attempted to write the code demoed by this meme. You would end up with unexpected behavior. Maybe I should have said unexpected behavior instead of unsafe behavior.


There is usually a safer and more readable way to do what you want to do by chaining ternaries in most languages.


Your feelings are valid. I wonder though, would you put up this level of defense for posts making fun of arbitrary parts of non PHP languages?

You are not your favorite language. And I find most criticisms of most languages to be very valid. I don’t think the intent of OP is to insult all PHP programmers. It’s okay to like a language that has problems. All languages do.


Interesting! Do you think they would take Embedded System Software Engineers?


It’s still fun to enter competition even if these OP people are in it.



I feel like the cat’s coordinate system needs to be rotated 90° to the right.


They’re looking at what this guy did to Russia and thinking hmmmmmm, that could be us next.


There are always one or two people who know what they’re doing. These people are the truly evil. The rest are just buying the party line or are afraid of the “other”.


Isn’t it possible for one person to create multiple LLCs? Hence being able to vote multiple times?
