15 years ago absolutely. Most modern sites will be running php-fpm (or maybe FrankenPHP)

Yeah, I don't think I've touched mod_php ever since Apache 2.4 came up with mod_proxy_fcgi, allowing dead simple integration with php-fpm.

PHP does need to invest more in the built-in web server, though. Last time I checked, they still recommend against using it in production.

All other popular runtimes provide a standards-compliant HTTP daemon that any other HTTP daemon can proxy to, it's just the way things work nowadays. Insisting on FastCGI limits integration with more modern web servers and HTTP-speaking middleware.


If you're the 0.01% it's not going to suck.


That’s what everyone thinks until they are alone in a desert or in the middle of the woods. If they think they will have fun alone in a bunker instead of flying to Milan and Bali they will be in for a rude awakening.


Well, I'm not going to die. Other's might, but I'll be rich either way.

Or: Global warming just means I'll have to sell my beach house for a villa on a hill and leave the AC on a little longer.


Rich doesn’t mean anything if there’s nothing to buy and no one to enjoy it with. I guess they don’t think the will get stuck in the consequences. So did Marie Antoinette. Things are stable until they are not and then they move fast. Sure they may flee to a bunker, but they assume their pilot will fly them rather than hand them to a mob.


Wow, what a impartial reference.

As expected from MechaHitler themselves.


> I always look it up in the original Hebrew if I really want to understand

Why do you assume a entire team of biblical scholars, working for years to translate the Old Testement for the NIV didn't know what they were doing?

But you do?


Translations are inherently lossy, especially for cases like the bible that use less common dialects and have conflicting source versions. Are any biblical translators claiming that their work is a 100% reproduction of the original? I doubt it. Most I'm familiar with readily acknowledge that it's a very messy process and two experts acting in good faith will produce different translations in many cases.


For starters, there are simply many possible goals one can achieve with a translation: Translating it as literal as possible (which can result in barely readable results in the target language, if the languages are far enough apart), translating it so that what thinks its meaning is is understandable, translating it assuming a particular worldview that might shape which alternatives to pick and so on.

A very loose translation could be how the "same program", as defined in its lambda calculus form, or as assembly code, is equivalent to dozens of programming languages, all with different goals and ways to reach their goal (declarative vs. imperative, functional vs. OOP, readable for beginners like Python versus APL, ...)


Reading Hebrew is not about "opinion" or "theological insight".

Hebrew is all about INTUITION (knowledge that rises spontaneously from YOUR OWN heart).

The more you are SPIRITUALLY ALIVE, the more you will get out of every Hebrew sentence. It's a work-in-progress that lasts all of your lifetime.

And it's PERSONAL: every time you read (or re-read) a passage, it adds understanding to the level/dimension that you are currently capable of...

(You see, it's a never ending process: and that's exactly why I LOVE Hebrew and the Bible so much!!)


I think it's arguable that this "intuition" you call knowledge could very easily also be called "opinion".


I am interested in examples of why Hebrew is as you claim in comparison to other languages. Very curious


> Why do you assume a (sic) entire team of biblical scholars, working for years to translate the Old Testement (sic) for the NIV didn't know what they were doing?

That assumption does not appear anywhere in their comment.

Your rude strawman question only makes sense if assuming that ivrit-tirvi is not a fluent speaker of Hebrew and is somehow translating the Hebrew into something else that they understand ... which is quite unlikely, since ivrit (עִבְרִית) is the Hebrew word for the English word "Hebrew".

And the NIV translation into English reflects ideological interpretation that one can avoid by reading the original Hebrew if one understands it.


The Gell-Mann amnesia effect also applies to the majority of translations.

Do you want these to be shorter for quick replies on X/Twitter, or longer for more detailed forum discussions?
