I prefer something like Django to build more complex websites against for clients, or just pure PHP for blog style stuff for myself. WP level sites wouldn’t hire me as two days of my work is as expensive as years of WP hosting. But I admire

I drink it a lot, about twice per day with my wife. It’s a nice moment to share with friends and family. Less jittery than coffee.

It definitely makes me less jittery than coffee. I stopped drinking coffee, except for a cup in the morning and I have mate the rest of the day. It’s still a stimulant but in a more relaxing way

Oh Workplace. Where HR types were sending messages that would not lead to any notification via e-mail or phone while everybody useful was on Slack. No I didn't get your message. It looked fairly competent and unobtrusive the few times

PHP comes with all nuts and bolts included. It’s just me, my text editor and an FTP client.

There was a consistent approach by Russia of denying Ukraine any kind of former-Soviet supplies of ammo around that time and after. There were also incidents in Bulgaria for example. Blowing up an ammo supply in a NATO country is an act of

Pretending you're not at war with Russia does not stop them from acting like they are already at war with you.

They should also give all designers the tiniest still supported mobile phone screen, while enlarging the fonts by at least 20% and making the screen black and white. I wouldn't go as far as making the language German but.....well actua

Yes, allow people to understand who's touching that file at the same time!

I also liked the "I type a character and it appears immediately and in the order I typed it on my screen" feature older software used to have.

I would still like Git to have some kind of memory of a file being edited in some kind of branch. It would make it easier to communicate work done on the same file because you can discover what is being done to it.

I ran Windows 2000 from the last beta until they stopped supporting it. The only thing I ever loved more were my Commodore 64, my Amiga 500 and Blue/White G3 tower running Mac OS and Mac OS X. It was extremely consistent in terms of UX

I'm not delusional there are quite a few better programmers out there, but I know I'm in the upper ranks within my field worldwide. I hired plenty of people both as developers for me as for other companies I worked at. There were

It's kind of fascinating to see companies I've interviewed at, where I did well enough in my honest opinion to get something of an offer in yesterday's market where they didn't even went for a better candidate but simply

My god, Hans Jansen? You need to be 60 years old to have that name in The Netherlands, it's so stereotypical that it would definitely ring some alarm bells if I saw it. It's like seeing a "Bill Johnson, real American patriot&

I remember a half-assed roll-out of funny filters on Hangouts, like adding ears to somebody's head. Didn't work on our black team members. It was probably never tested on black people before they released it? You can't hide a

Your vanilla PHP will still work in 10 years, with a few deprecation fixes. And since vanilla PHP is such a full-featured language and framework, you don't those third party dependencies.

In the bell curve meme you're that sweaty geek with glasses in the middle. I think you should always use JavaScript, unless you are NOT IN A WEB BROWSER. In that case virtually anything is a better programming language. JavaScript is a

FWIW I still use my blender almost every day. It's a great start of the day, so I can eat like a sinner the rest for the day. Didn't lose a gram of weight but I don't feel guilty about it anymore!

There is something about Norwegian that makes it more easy to understand than any other Germanic language (besides English I guess, but that's just because we're broiled in it from early age). It somehow stayed more close to the s

30 years ago people were using Interface Builder already. Admittedly not that many, but the drag and drop interface is still there integrated into Xcode.

I wasn't sure, I guess books are read from the same side in every culture? iOS UINavigationController and the SwiftUI equivalent support it by default and it takes effort (or a crappy hybrid implementation) to stop it from working.

by dep_b 3y ago
It is fixed on the OS level, but some people claim hybrid apps are indistinguishable between native apps. Except every time: - Swipe LTR (on a LTR locale) does not go back - The back button's size is exactly as big as it looks, instead

When I worked at an Internet Helpdesk I routinely "downgraded" V90 modems to V34 using AT+MS=V34 or AT+MS=11. Would connect much quicker, more stable and the effective speed was exactly the same. V90 was really stretching the audi
