  • I hear you… it’s definitely not about one tasting better than others, but maybe more about the eating experience. I do think there’s a legitimate argument about how different pasta shapes encourage different pasta to sauce ratios, but at the end of the day it’s just the two elements coming together and the taste is what it is. We should all enjoy it the way we want to! I just wanted to explain why some people talk about certain sauces and certain pasta shapes “belonging” together.


  • It has everything to do with the consistency of the sauce and how well it sticks to the pasta. For example, spaghetti with a meat sauce isn’t a great choice because the meat won’t actually stick to the pasta and you’ll have to scoop up that meat “manually.” Better is pappardelle, which has a huge surface area that causes the meat to stick to the pasta.
















  • I don’t agree with your assessment that I’m not “extending humanity to those who are less than perfect in their response.” It’s fine to want the guy out of office ASAP because he’s terrible. My point was simply that if one wants to maintain their own humanity, one should not celebrate the ailments of their enemies. Or, as Nietzsche said: “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.”

    If I’m being honest, I’ve never even looked to see what language most of the stuff I run is written in. Out of 16 apps that I’m running, only 3 are accessible from outside my LAN. Those three are high-profile open source projects that are actively maintained. That’s enough for me to be comfortable security-wise in my environment.

    I wrote my personal website in PHP, and I’m pretty happy with the security I’ve got going on. I’m not an expert, but I paid close attention to best practices to avoid pitfalls like SQL injection. My instinct is that it’s certainly easy to code insecure applications in PHP (and probably many other languages as well), but the language does provide means by which to code safely.
