   While this is an old article, I agree, and PHP has only gotten better these past years. Not to mention tools like Composer, Laravel and Yii – most popular CMS systems are built in PHP too: Drupal, WordPress, TYPO3. Being an expert PHP progr

   Good point - I've not been involved in this kind of deep packet inspection required to do this – in my mind, all it would require is a filter on "wp-admin.php" and the resulting status code.

   That is some really good advice for keeping security tight, I'm going to link this from my blog post if you don't mind. Personally, since I basically use WordPress as a static HTML generator, I'm wondering if there is a solut

   If your product really does link something together, it sounds like an extremely good name. There's no negative connotations, and it's easy to pronounce and remember. I'd say go for it.

   As long as you do your caching correctly, performance will be good. But you can't do caching with dynamic content, and PHP, while these days getting a lot better, there are some faster tools out there these days. Still, this project lo

    Surely there is a reason these taxi regulations are in place. Or not. In any case, is it fair? My opinion of Uber was something like "great for competition". But of course they can only compete because they're doing so not qu

    You can recreate almost anything in css/html but you'd have to write a different style for each OS yourself, and it will never match the actual "feel" of the UI. It'll be a little off. Also, for example Mac OS X has

    When it said "GUI framework", I kind of expected a way to make cross-platform apps with their native UI controls, not a web view with an embedded PHP executable.

    I was actually saddened when I saw people starting with their patches forcing Lucida back in OS X 10.10. Helvetica was one of the things that made the iPhone so great. Helvetica is neutral, timeless and easy to read. It's the perfect u

    I think it's more likely that Apple is simply interested in owning all apple.* domains. You can't predict what domains people are going to purchase (as seen in the latest episode of Last Week Tonight regarding former New York mayo
