PHP dependency management (composer and packagist) got many things right, such as namespaces packages, lock files, proper autoloading, etc.

My name has 6 parts. In Sri Lanka, it's common to have a family name and a surname. Many Sri Lankan have super long full names that often don't even fit in Western forms. Further more, my brother and I (who we share both parents)

I'm a bit claustrophobic and the video made me uncomfortable. I understand the financial and time saving reasons, but between an isolated place like this, and a shared place with roommates, I would pick roommates any day of the week. I

One trans Atlantic flight can burn as much as fuel as typical person would burn on a car Inna year. With so many pointless flights, I can't even wrap my head around his environment foot print.

Not every toilet in Europe charges money. For example, France has some of the best public toilets I have ever seen. Go in, do your job, and press the button. 30 seconds later, everything is flushed and cleaned automatically, and the toilet

This was heavily downvoted, but I think this can be an opportunity as well. I am preparing to go to Iran and of this year to travel, and I have been researching about a lot of things. I was fascinated to learn about Daric Pay, an internal p

There are many hosting rpov8ders who accept local payments. In Georgia (the country), you can even pay for hosting from the numerous kiosks on every corner of the street. Super market cash payments, Alipay, etc. It's a saturated market

I think the majority of the cost savings are because it's a dedicated low-cost terminal. They have a lounge, but the airport isn't as "luxurious" to the rich. It's Air Asia's main airport, and Air Asia is quite

It's a good analysis, bit I can think of Kuala Lampur's KLIA airport T2 (low cost terminal) as a major exception. Burger King at the airport, for example, has the exact same prices as the city, and they actively encourage people t

I really hope nobody does this. OS vendors backport security vulnerabilities, and that should be it. Like the other commenter said, PHO 5.6 to 7 upgrade isn't that hard. If it is, there's a very good chance they are doing somethin

For non-tech users, privacy isn't a very good selling point. Both my parents use Chrome because it's already installed on Android and works fine. My attempts to convince them to Firefox didn't work out even with multiple atte

Having biked over 2,000 km in Europe and daily commute, I have to say OSM maps are close to being very good. Once Inna while it suggests some path that's clearly not suitable for cycling, but most of the time, the route suggestion take

I'm using my third Mi phone now (Note 2, 4, and now a 6), and IR blaster is amazingly helpful. From turning volume in TV to turning A/C on my hotel I paid the fan-price for! They last just as an expensive phone would (I trek often

I think Switzerland is doing it well. Train travel is far more popular compared to countries with equally good (but not as punctual) trains in France and Germany.

I suppose it's more of the density than the population. India is massive by all measurements, but west and east sides are completely different. In the west, you have Mumbai, a city full of dust, slums, and millions of people riding tra

I didn't switch to Chrome at all either, and I am a web developer too. I liked the Firebug for web development, and the built-in dev tools that came later was good for me too. Sometimes even better than Chrome's. In a comparison t

Credit score system the Americans apparently have to "build" isn't used elsewhere, as far as I know. But may countries have so sort of tracking and rating system to evaluate applicants for bank loans and credit cards. In my c

About the leave of Uber. Grab is a terrible app compared to Grab compared to the UI, UX, and overall drivers attitude (personal opinion of course). However for Indonesia, services like GoJek and Traveloka are picking up. I'm currently
