It isn't a threat though, the company has no choice but to enforce their trademark when they see it infringed. Otherwise they lose the right to that trademark. That's the mess trademark law is in, fail to enforce it once, and that

I've been watching the Google SERPS view of his website tank since he switched to his JavaScript stack a few months ago. It's a eye-watering example of what happens switching from a static website to a client-side generated one. T

Since you've done PHP and MySQL previously, if you still remember how to use that, it's worth starting with a simple PHP micro framework (like Slim, or maybe Symfony 3). That will teach you about using URLs for routing. (If starti

Yahoo Europe's progress was from Perl generated static html, to Perl generated PHP. What Rasmus' hire did was push Yahoo to allow server-side scripting languages on the web server. And that's where PHP was the blindingly obvi

It's a side-effect of cultural norms going back thousands of years. In marriage, status is a key factor, and the parents of both partners are the main decision maker whether to allow a marriage or not. Status wise: A man marries a wome

Top-tier devs just give you skill and experience; that in itself doesn't give you passion. What you consider an act of desperation, DuckDuckGo sees as an act of passion and strong interest. If a skilled developer values his time more t

By having the app running on the server it can take advantage of being primed before the first request arrives. Primed in that the app is already running, and/or the data retrieved is cached and regularly refreshed. Depending on the na

So they are building a server-side app to deliver a usable first-load experience with HTML and CSS, while the JavaScript loads in and runs, and until the JavaScript runs, all the links work like normal anchors. Sounds like Progressive enhan

As far as I can tell, working in the AWS teams is perhaps the best software engineering place to be at Amazon (e.g. note Tim Bray's joining the Vancouver office.). The positivity from there I've seen echoed by other diverse source

It doesn't need to be called "Markdown" to justify what they've invested their time in over the last few years. Changing to a non-Markdown name doesn't invalidate their 2-year effort of creating a spec, unit tests a
