"Common carrier" tends to raise prices for minimum service, though. And once the network is built the carrier is just going to keep their monopoly. You bet they're never upgrading to any new piece of technology until they're legally required to.
Windows is a heavy operating system compared to the others and can cause that problem but that likely isn't Windows alone causing the problem (though bloatware / other AV solutions could also have something to do with it)
It might have worked if El Salvador made their own cryptocurrency which they control and could mint more of and backed it properly as a non-speculative legal tender, but they didn’t and that didn’t happen.
Yes. A "digital fiat" currency, basically. It could potentially incorporate privacy features from cryptocurrencies or replace digital payment providers. Or be a ginormous waste of time. I don't really know enough to tell you which one.
By my understanding, yes. But this does mean you can’t use the internet to share it, because you can’t really guarantee internet communications aren’t crossing borders.
Although, what specifically makes it cheaper and how does it relate to the fact that PHP creates an isolated process per request? If we made the Java project using the same coding style, would it be the same cost?
You could almost use the same coding style, typically you don’t what to leak data between handler threads in Java so you can write in similar fashion where you start from scratch at every request.
But Java has more ceremony with the stricter type system.
A bigger problem (at least with older Java versions) is string building and templating. You typically do a lot of string stuff in web development.
Deployments and dependency management are worse with the wars and the jars and how to build them.
PHP is closer to the metal so to speak where many APIs are thin layers around various C libraries, e.g I find working with database (JDBC?) in Java annoying. I feels like Java is it’s own island in that way.
Java’s plus is better performance for CPU heavy tasks, connection pooling and easier when you do things asynchronous. Streams are a plus too. But those things are not important enough to pick Java over PHP IMHO.
To add, the best people will almost certainly pick the work from home option, leaving behind those who would have difficulty finding another job if they lost the current one. Hence this means you’d actively have worse employees, just for some company culture.
