Like some of the other commenters, I remain a bit perplexed by this. I realize we all live busy lives, but the idea of long form communication going the way of the dodo seems counterintuitive to me. There will always be a need for someone t

Aside: Is there a way to detect that happening in JavaScript? Just thinking that detecting the user doing that and then showing the site's nav bar again would be groovy...

I'm not so sure your usage of the term "full-stack engineer" is accurate here. I consider myself full-stack, but I don't know half the stuff about Chef that our DevOps guy does and I'm ok with that. To me, a full-st

I think the definition of full-stack in this article is fundamentally wrong. I say that as a full-stack engineer. heh.

It seems like a fallacy that if a comment isn't read and endorsed by users with over 1000 karma within a certain timeframe it will never be influential. Weren't most of the literary and artistic geniuses completely unappreciated b

With PHP itself? None. With that particular application we had relied on Apache's mod_rewrite and had some code that made some assumptions about how file system permissions worked. Not intentional assumptions, mind you, but assumptions

Nope. Nothing was assumed. For the first few years of the contract we hosted it. They wanted to move to a Windows platform well after the application was built and in use for several years. The conversion to Windows was itself a separate co

Every time I read complaints from people dissatisfied with open office layouts, my first response is inevitably, "Have you ever had a roommate?" The ability to isolate is great when you need it, but I can't help but get the n

There are about five hundred services that need to do this, to be honest. The separation between a user and an account is one that's largely not valued when people are originally modeling applications, but it probably should be. (Speak

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I'm wondering how much of that could be automated, though, through appropriate system design. The IRS knows when people are dead. Presumably, that system could then alert the BIG system to stop dispatchin

In theory if you're browsing a site over HTTP, the initial request to the form will be HTTP, and then you'll be 301'd to the secure signup form. A check could happen before the 301 is issued (instead displaying a warning mess

This is probably some of the most generally applicable advice I've seen on how to write blog posts in the course of time I've been writing and reading. I can resonate a lot with what your friend Nate said over the course of my &qu

This feature is only badly designed in that it's not communicated during the setup process that Siri will still work. This is a feature, it can be turned off, and is 100% intentional. The security your propose doesn't provide en
