There are still 100s of thousands of Magento 1 sites still around that would be using Prototype for core functions. Always fun trying to get the two to play nicely together. I remember having to work with MooTools occasionally as well befor

I would never buy an A4 as they do seem cheap. An A6 is a very different car to drive. Wife had one the other day as a loan car. The last Ford I owned was about 16 years ago so I don't know what they're like these days. Swapped it

I have children learning to drive. Much happier for them to be in the wife's 2018 model with active breaking, lane keeping, blindspot alerts and headlights that are 3x more effective than my 2008 car.

That's basically why you might buy a Volkwagen - they even kind-of look the same internally. But there's a noticable difference in driving experience, performance and handling.

Always buy the demo. Last two demos I've bought (both German) were both priced around the same as an equivalently specced brand new Japanese model.

I would consider it a continuation. Thatcher's era saw the breaking of union influence and control over employment in many industries. The few jobs that have seen year on year increases since then were those that managed to retain stro

The one graph missing from this is the workplace participation rate for women which increased rapidly from an average of 47% to 65% between 1972 and 1984 for OECD countries. A large number of households would have gone from having a single

Do you plan on running a series on update cycles and what each browser does when it phones home to check for patches/updates?

If you read his previous blogs, particularly the kickstarter one - his fans were asking for a return to a topdown game rather than making it fancier. Looks like they backed that by taking his kickstarter 3x over what he was asking for to ge

Like a grant to a small foundation who could oversee the distribution? No competitive bidding or tender process necessary, no questions asked.

The only thing that goes in circles is the marketing for processed foods. I'm sure they will continue to find new false narratives to sell their yellow-coloured grey goop and over-processed watery milk.

Very interesting line of study. There was a case of a cancer cluster among female staff at the Australian Broadcasting Commission's Toowong Building that went largely unexplained. While everyone speculated it had something to do with t

I would say not. You have hosting and you have to deal with maintenance, security and backups. Your Shopify fees cover that and the payment processing fees are comparable. Unless there is some feature that WooCommerce can throw in for free

Liquid is awesome and documentation first rate. I was pretty much able to dive straight into Shopify templating and leverage the docs as I went without even having a background in Rails or Ruby.

I think you'll find the churn is mostly small businesses that go nowhere, not losses to other platforms. Magento is probably the biggest loser to Shopify after making v.2 impossible for smaller merchants to maintain so they're mov

The debate about radiation from cell/mobile phones simply refuses to go away. We had decades of denial that smoking wasn't slowly killing us, burning hydrocarbons wasn't a problem, using glyphosate was fine, and more recently

And the phone-makers defense was that the phones were not tested the same way they test in their lab in order to produce a result that meets the standard. This smacks of the same real-world failure that brought down Volkswagen. If you don&

Everything is smoke and mirrors. The price of a thing is completely determined by the perception of value and what people are willing to pay or sell at. The problem with the glut of cheap credit is that it created the means to leverage capi

Weird. Personally, I would choose a female dog and male cat every time. Less dominant and more bidable dog and a less skitish cat who's more likely to not take crap from the dog at meal time.

I think it's a perception of cats from people who have never owned one and only grew up with a dog, and were brought up to not like cats. These kinds of dog people tend to associate with the traits in their dogs they like or wish about
