Essential for what? You can get an idea of what the ceiling of your market looks like, but that's it. Unless you can strongly and credibly argument how, saying you'll get 1% of the market is equivalent of saying nothing.

None. It's a fallacy to believe a startup has to invariably solve a problem to go out there; companies like Foursquare or Zynga weren't solving much either.

Sure, but not everyone realizes this. People can be rather conservative here in Europe.

Personally I'm thankful my first employers/managers didn't fire me for being consistently late at work. Took me a while to figure out that being punctual is actually perceived as a big deal.

For me tab sandboxing was basically the reason I switched from Firefox. For years I thought it was normal for the browser to slow down and become increasingly unresponsive the more tabs you had open. It was frustrating, but you had to accep

Is that all of the server-side logic of the game?

On a semi-related note, I always found print advertising to convert extremely poorly no matter what. If your goal is to acquire customers, never invest in offline media, because you may aswell throw the money directly into a trash can (if y

May I ask... why?

Very true, on windows at least every single browser renders fonts however they feel like. I wish someone would stand up and propose a standard way to render fonts (yes, I know pages don't necessarily have to look exactly pixel perfect acros

I have no idea what the article and some of you guys are talking about. I'm a very heavy user of Chrome, usually I have around 3 windows and 50-60 tabs in total; with this is setting I feel it's running pretty snappy, animations runs very s

Not everybody has the Google-like resources to maintain thousands of fallback servers, and failing that often there isn't much one can do against a well distributed DDoS.

Bitbucket supports private repos aswell and works with mercury and Git afaik. The main reason GitHub is popular is because it is popular; it just happened.

That'd probably require a separate extension, but it's feasible.

I think this has potential to scale, but you'd probably need to throw in more servers if you plan to handle more than few hundreds of additions per second.

> Does he or she feel like that's a problem in the PHP ecosystem? Well, I can't talk for the author, but there is some over-egineering going on in the ecosystem, that's undeniable. I think that since the reputation of the language is

Reminds me of something I wrote a few months ago on how to detect negative numbers: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11910993/1329367 but obviously the one above has much more value add and follows better design patterns.

This. Most marketing is all about getting the click, the sign up or the sale, regardless whether what's being marketed is good or the best option for the possible customer. That's not something I'd avise to do to my mother.

Because 1) PHP syntax for object literals is non-existent 2) JSON is used in many more places than just Javascript and 3) the syntax of JSON makes sense ; it's compact, human readable and easy to write. I'm not suggesting copying it 1:1 ve

Frankly, it would be infinitely better to be able to write: $data = { firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith", age: 25, address: { streetAddress: "21 2nd Street", city: "New York",

Yes, YMMV depending on your environment, but I did test this carefully before making the decision to use APC for data caching wherever possible. IIRC I saw up to thousands of fetch/store operations in just 1ms using APC; but I'd suggest you
924.
by Mahn 14y ago
Wow, that's just silly then. The user caching part of APC is practically the sole reason I use it; it's by far the fastest (non-distributed) caching mechanism available for PHP right now, several orders of magnitude faster than memcache or

by Mahn 14y ago
That's why I asked, I really hope they ship APC within the core aswell if Zend Optimizer doesn't provide a data store. To be honest, I find the data store that APC provides way more important than opcode caching.

Right now I'd say the only major "jump" that exists is the one between PHP 4 (released +10 years ago) and PHP 5. Other than that, apps are largely backwards compatible between 5.x versions, except for a few minor changes that no dev really

Looks like Amazon sells it again.

by Mahn 14y ago
None of the two scrolled smoothly for me. I guess that makes it a draw :-)

by Mahn 14y ago
So is Zend Optimizer meant to replace APC altogether, or just co-exist with APC? I've been using APC quite extensively assuming it would make it into the core eventually.

Any noteworthy changes on 5.5 overall? I'm happy the language is moving forward with a seemingly faster traction than before (github effect?), but I haven't heard of any game changing feature getting implemented yet since quite a while. Sti
