Currently, PHP's development is hampered by the need to maintain compatibility with existing web project codebases, which keeps developers within limited frameworks. As a solution, it is suggested to start developing a new PHP dialect—P++—in parallel, with its development being carried out […]
The capacity of hard drives continues to increase, but growth rates have steadily declined in recent years. For instance, it took the industry only two years to release the first 4 TB drive after the 2 TB HDDs hit the market; it took three years to reach the 8 TB mark, and it was only after a lengthy period that the capacity of 3.5-inch hard drives was able to double again […]
