This is very true for me too. I used Vue frontend and php backend, it makes it more fun to work on the frontend, but it's definitely slower for me compared to just rendering everything serverside. The more I learned, the slower I becam

You're wrong. I've been doing it for 11 years, and it really is simple and quick. Package-managers does most of the work and there isn't much config necessary to start out. You should give it a go.

Why should people not run their own email server? It's not like email is moving fast, so it's mostly set and forget. Automatic security updates are a thing, so it really is a non-issue. There sure are things that require quite a b

Making sure the referer is correct is good enough. Other sites can't without permission send requests with a referer belonging to your site, and that won't change, unless the spec changes, and that's very very unlikely.

I don't think $25k is a large payment in githubs eyes. There are much smaller companies that doesn't even blink spending ten times as much. And this was definitely approved before they went out and told people what they would pay

Safari on iOS really is total garbage. Everything this person said is true, but he forgot a few things: It's really inconsistent. Adding a webpage to the homescreen usually makes the experience even worse as apple usually have two webk

It just sucks that ad-blockers are so slow. Do you have a really fast page without ads? Then using a plugin for ad-blocking will make the experience noticeably slower, often going from no noticeable delay to "this isn't instant&qu

First off all, yes. On mobile(Note 10+) the first experience is lag when I start scrolling. Second, it has very little information and a bunch of scroll-points are just blank and a total waste of time, resulting in "oh, slightly furthe

Mod_php was always faster at executing scripts. There is less overhead as you don't have to communicate like you have to with fpm. For light scripts this is far superior to fpm. On the other hand, always loading php does have it's

"entering under a yellow is prohibited" What dumbasses came up with that rule? Isn't the whole point of the yellow light to signal that it will turn red soon, and that people have to make a choice? So if you drive up to a gre

If you want something that works, and with little downtime, go for a Dell XPS laptop. Way better than every other manufacturer I can think of. Next business day on-site repair is usually included, so if something goes wrong then it will be

Donation pages, maybe. But there is a lot of categories on the play store where you have to use your own payment method or can if you want to. Some examples are purchases that can be used outside the app, eg. cross platform purchases and th

Page-loads in chrome are usually really slow if you have an adblocker. ABP runs a bunch of JS on every load and the page load performance goes from being seemingly instant when the mouse button is released to having a noticeable delay. Sure

Beautiful? There's a reason why it got the name, it looks like a trashcan. And the old mac pro is filled with garbage(how fitting, right?). If it was any good then apple would have stuck to it, but it was garbage, so they didn't.

Adblockers in chrome are slow. Fast pages goes from having no noticeable delay to having one. Many times the latency is not uncommon. Sure, this is only a problem for really fast pages, but it's still really annoying.

I think it's well known by most developers using PHP. You can do the same to call a function on a newly created object.

No, definetly not true. The backwards-compatability of PHP is insanely good, so upgrading is usually super trivial.

This isn't completely correct. A few years ago JetBrains changed the license. You get the version available when you pay, and then you get a year of updates, which you can only continue using if you renew the license. So you can only u

Actually, input might be the better option as one rarely needs to accept HTML or such special characters. It's also a more common to display or use data than storing it, so you don't have that many places where you can fail when y

Software is getting increasingly complex. Why? To ensure better uptime, amongst other things. The funny part is that all the complexity often leads to downtime. A single server would usually have less downtime than Google, Facebook and so o
