What are these limits that it pushes? And how it do so?

There might be a slightly modified version of this question which might actually make sense: "Why we don't shoot nuclear waste into the Sun".

Surely, the cost of storing that type of waste here (on Earth) is very expensive, both from economical perspective and from risk management perspective. It could be very interesting to compare the costs of sending 1kg of nuclear waste into the sun (or out of our solar system, if that makes it cheaper) compared to storing 1kg of nuclear waste anywhere here on Earth, + adding the cost of the infrastructure that is required to actually store and preserve that waste, + adding the cost of people that are required to protect that infrastructure (a facility of some sort), etc...

They are related in that they both implement FizzBuzz in a way that is highly unlikely to be ever used, nor recommended to be used.

I'm still not entirely sure why, in plain 2020, PHP seems to be the only language missing a debugger able to run in a shell.

Python, Ruby, Javascript and others have a "debugger;" statement of some sort that, when hit by the execution flow, will pause the code and let you type stuff in your shell, letting you inspect the code, step forward, etc...

Why does PHP need me to configure an entire IDE or my browser? (I'm looking at you, xdebug). Why can't it have a cli-debugger?

Because whenever somebody asked for:

* 24/7 presence, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"

* backlog, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"

* full text search, the reply was "that's up to the client implementation"

* file sharing, the reply was "it's already possible with XDCC"

and so on and so forth.

Basically, it's not that Slack is great, it's because IRC as a whole just refused to adapt to what users actually wanted/needed.

A step in the right direction!

Where (physically) do you expect 500.000 (a small town example) people garden their own food? They'd need to travel outside town, garden, then get back (and all this while also commuting to work on a daily basis).

Also, the amount of tools every single person would need to buy.

"Decentralisation" is a goof idea, but not feasible in the real world, IMHO. And this is a small town example, leave alone a huge capital like Madrid or Barcelona.

Does the Linux Kernel has some sort of Unit Testing Framework? Is it being used? If “no”, then why?

But why a Slack app instead of a PG module of some sort...?
