But that's not being a freelancer at all. I have a business registered in the UK, my clients are international, I pay all business taxes in the UK, but I will occasionally spend a couple months abroad, I'm not freelancing or even

But that's the thing, it's 2014, it's not working there, it's working on the internet, which is everywhere. Laws need to change to accommodate telecommuting workers, no way I would pay my taxes twice.

Please no. This is awful verbose syntax. Use Java if that's what you want. This is not PHP, this will never be PHP. Some people need to remember the purpose for which PHP was started and what it still is great at: making websites. You

It always has to be free with you people... You don't want adverts? Pay for the service. Spotify is well worth the money, £10/month is almost giving it away.

A non issue really, all you need is a filter in your backend that removes dots in gmail addresses before saving to database or querying for records. That's about 4 lines of code. It's the developer's job to know about edge ca

You can get scrapping libraries fairly easily. In my more shady past I developed a library like that and shared it, HTTP client library with automatic proxy rotation and rate limiting friendly. When I used it (which was almost a decade ago)

Did something similar, just built a module for our CI tool that checks against sensitive information (secret, salts, hashs, hidden feature), pretty efficient as every dev (myself included) can get lazy and use keys directly in scripts, inst

Yeah, just to be clear I'm not bitching at maintainers, just giving the perspective of a potential company wanting to use a library. Though usually I do try to follow up if I think the software/lib is really nice, but it's of

On paper I agree, from the other side of the fence, here is what the process looks like: This looks good for what we want to do, let's test it out. Cryptic error. Google for 24h for a solution, can't find one. Ask on official m

We've (me and a friend) been working on a publishing platform that revolves around keeping the connection between author and readers. Using my own book as test (about 2 months or so away from launch, first draft is in the editor's

Not sure what you are into but PHP is anything but painful to work with. It's the easiest to get started, cheapest to run, and frankly when you actually use it for what it is intended, output web pages, I fail to find better. At the en

I'd prefer make that much writing, doing something I enjoy rather than the same salary or even more at a company being a pawn.

And I would seek to educate people on modern and proper PHP.

Not expensive compared to London, really? I live in London, it is expensive, but the salaries are better here, more than compensating for the cost of living.

France is not sprinting. No amount of measures will change the main issue we have in France : the people. I am French myself, moved to Canada 6years ago, then moved to London a year and half ago. I have kept a very close eye on France, I tr

Just because Google didn't pursue Reader doesn't mean a smaller company cannot make it work for them.

Extracting important keywords from thousands of pages for example. On our website we let user enter quite a lot of content, and being able to extract keywords and find patterns between user could be key in naming categories and such.

Yeah, and why not do it based on a blog post that is 8 years old...

Regarding the eBook size, that's the approach I'm taking with a serie I'm working on at the moment. I set myself a limit of 50 pages per volume, the eBook is highly focused on one subject and does it well (hopefully). I found two main advan

Very nice and simple, I like it. Thanks for answering the questions over there, always curious about the inner workings of such things.

You don't necessarily need to know about the SAPI, but what he says is true. Any environment (Apache, Lighttpd, FPM, CLI, ...) that runs PHP, is built on top of the SAPI provided by the Zend Engine. That's interesting stuff, but not on the

Here is my list: - Stop trying to turn PHP into another language. Millions of developers are perfectly fine with its syntax, deal with it.

Who are you to decide that? I am one of those who chose to work with PHP, and I'm getting more than tired about that witch hunt, to a point where I would actually punch someone. I do realise PHP is not ideal, but as I always say, in the end
