Hey, come on. I also had criticism in time for open source projects I worked on. It's not about the person who did it, it's about my opinion and why I wouldn't use it. Kudos for everyone doing open source.

OMG, another electron app that is meant to run as a daemon. It's terrible. I already have hard times with Slack taking more memory than i would expect from a chat. Yeah, I know that it's super hard to make native GUI these days, b

Well most of the landing pages nowadays look the same. I like both pages, but I don't think it feels like a copy of Stripe's design.

How do you guys, handle this problem? I use either `git-crypt` [1] or `ansible-vault` [2]. 1: https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt 2: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_vault.html

I'm using it for failover setup ( 2 x db + 2 x app + 1 x lb ) for small traffic app. For the LB I use haproxy server only, which has it's own healthcheck.

This reminds me of NodeJS configstore[1]. I would be really happy to learn what are the use-cases for this tool, since using it via bash is actually an overkill. 1: https://github.com/yeoman/configstore

I had a similar problem. Someone hijacked my Skype account ( I think 3 years ago ). Fortunately the support service was pretty awesome and they restored the ownership. You just need to identify yourself as close as possible to your account.

Considering the burnout rate of my fellow non-freelancing developer friends, I would actually suggest the opposite. Staying in a company for 1.5 years and perfecting a niche technology, while helping the company and get paid for that is one

I'm actually not sure where the term Zalgo comes from. I know the effect is abused Unicode feature, but was never sure how does the term "Zalgo" end up explaining it.

It's called Zalgo [1]. I'm surprised that GitHub allows Zalgo characters in the issues. 1 : https://eeemo.net

A big performance boost for my freelancing career was when I started to work in an office ( shared office - just a desk ). Compared to working from home, the benefits are enormous. Just a tiny one : Social pressure will not allow you to pla

Tables are meant to be used for ... tables. Not layout. The downsides are enormous. From hard-to-find bugs through SEO-penalty to code-maintainance [1]. I lived the time when there was no CSS at all. Back then we used tables for everything.

Number of unhappy front-end developers : 1 ( me, so far ). Hope nobody will have to modify your stylesheets.

Except for mobile ( Android, iOS ), which is the main reason that we use responsive design anyway. I will stick to flexbox for a while.

by drinchev 10y ago
`float` should not be used for layouts, but for placement an image inside text ( e.g ), which is it's purpose. Nowadays I don't use floats anymore. Flexbox is the current layout recommendation and I encourage you not to create leg

People can hardly choose use / don't use Google anymore. If there should be a protest against Google and other big companies, I expect it to be lead by governments and regulations. I don't mind companies use non-free software

Of course the answer is "depends." If you are building a web application that is behind login or you just don't care about SEO then ... No, you don't need server-side rendering. If you are building a website with JavaScr

Electron is really cool, though I think it's slow and big. Also sometimes laggy, when you operate with huge volume of data. Take as an example editors. You can't compare the speed / size of Sublime vs Atom. Both are cross-pla

I agree. Fear of catastrophe is a catastrophe on its own. I have friends that tend to not want children, giving as a reason some of the problems that are stated in this article. I know ... Life goes on is very shallow thought, when you read

This is madness. I can't believe people can live in such a nightmare. Isn't there any opposition or can't just people there revolt? Or maybe army makes a coup?

For me, the biggest Wordpress fail, is a file called xmlrpc.php. This file is just a menace and should not exist in the default installation. My first two things I do when I install a new wordpress server is add this to `.htaccess` :
