More fun that the guy that asks what you do and then responds with "that sucks"!

That's kind of a mean thing to say. Maybe that's what your shrug meant?

I think one of the key things about Laravel is that the creator, Taylor Otwell, is only focused on Laravel. Imagine if DHH didn't ever have Basecamp (or 37 Signals) and only focused on Rails and the Rails ecosystem. The Laravel team no

When you use a cursor, the user has to pass a cursor back to the application to see the next page. So on the first page load, the server will send the records and a cursor that contains the info {'lastId': 32} and when the user

Usually a cursor holds some state about the last record shown to a user on a particular page. The next page should always start directly after the previous one, no matter how much time has elapsed. Most frameworks have some kind of cursor

I actually agree completely with that!

Cursor based pagination has advantages. You can actually skip records for other pages and you won't miss or duplicate records between pages. But the drawback is you can't have directly addressable pages. So it's just a trad

For a little more context, from High Performance MySQL, 3rd Edition (2012) > This "deferred join" works because it lets the server examine as little data as possible in an index without accessing rows, and then, once the desi

I saw that (thanks to this!) but I guess my question is why aren't more people freaking out about this? It seems like they should be.

How are you getting these results? I assume you're loading stuff from the EU and then doing some sort of tracing to see where it's being served from?

Um... Google analytics being ruled illegal seems like a pretty huge deal. How come we haven't heard more about this? Or have I just missed it?
