Zeno of Elea famously postulated his many paradoxes in defence of Parmenides' worldview: that all is "oneness," and pluralism is merely an illusion.    Of his forty paradoxes, the four most enduring have fascinated philosophers, mathematicians, and regular pundits for millennia.    As one of the many pundits ensnared by Zeno's challenges, I will present my own analysis of arguably his most famous paradox of all: The race between Achilles and the tortoise.

In response to this recent article from the Hiveminds website, Marco Tabini has a few choice words about some of the topics they cover in the article, and cover incorrectly.   Over the last few years, I've made it a point of trying to respond to at least some of the "PHP is dead"-type articles that crop up on the Net from time to time. The latest one comes from Hiveminds and reveals a complete misunderstanding of almost every point it covers.   He notes that though the article seems to be a coherent whole for why PHP is dwindling, it's "based on nothing more than a string of misinformed concepts cobbled together to give the appearance that the author knows what he or she is talking about". Marco comes back against each of the points made in the article, setting things right and eliminating some of the FUD (fear, uncertainly, and doubt) that the Hiveminds article spreads.
