The ridiculous Facebook login "social paywall" only applies to the front page and city pages. You can get around the site to some extent using "site:glio.com" + keywords on Google. For example: http://glio.com

I agree in as much as I think that PHPClasses is an anachronistic throwback to the bad old days of PHP. It has a shameful history of promoting terrible code with dubious "awards" as if it were the greatest thing ever built. Newcom

Doesn't matter how good you think are. If you write code professionally for long enough, you eventually experience an event like this first hand. It's an absolutely horrible experience for a developer.

I think you've misunderstood the example code. Each instance of that Order class has exactly one product. There is neither a quantity to consider nor other items in the cart. That may not be the same design as whatever ecommerce system

Not only are you right that these docblock comments can get out of sync with the real parameters, but I would argue that it is almost inevitable that they will . I rarely waste my time reading them any more, but when I do, there's s

If GMail kills email marketing, I will walk all the way around the world to Palo Alto and personally shake Larry & Sergey by the hand. Nobody likes email marketing, not even the people building their livelihoods on top of it. If Google

I've been waiting and hoping for the anti-carousel movement to gain cultural traction among web developers for some time. The fact that this page has made it to the front page of HN gives me hope that momentum will begin to increase mo

I don't think the analogy works. This is using consumer-grade retail padlocks to keep out the world's richest and most well-equipped criminal organisation. The fact that the shops don't sell strong enough padlocks to stop the

That's a very fair point. There's certainly nothing bad about making privacy conscious technology choices. I also think that the very URL of this project - http://prism-break.org/ - invokes a certain over-focus on

While I understand and sympathise with the compulsion to resist surveillance in this practical, technological way, I think it might be the wrong reaction to the information. It's typical of techie people to seek technical solutions to

Ugh. It felt extremely weird to read an entire article with that thing obscuring such a huge part of the bottom of the page. The best description of the feeling that I can think of is that it kind of felt like I was reading it by shoulder-s

You've contributed some really useful information about the GPL and the LGPL, but the whole "please don't license it under the GPL" angle did nothing but initially reduce my receptiveness to that information as a reader.

It sounds wrong to me to refer to Apache and nginx as "alternatives" to IIS. They're the web servers, and IIS is the "alternative", kind of like how Excel is the spreadsheet application and LibreOffice Calc is t

Exactly. The only way this could have read more like a "Fuck you, don't hack us and then ask for our help" is if they claimed there would be some delay in arresting him because they have taken a lot of computer systems offlin

According to Snowden's leaked Prism slides, Google was brought into the NSA fold on the 14th of January 2009. So Firefox is well over 4 years behind Chrome in that respect as well. Get your act together, Mozilla!

When people say they want "passive income", I take it to mean "I want to start a tiny business and then neglect it and hope it dies slowly".

The epiphany we had was that whilst machines do access the API, the developer is always the customer and user. Everything we do should help the developer, and if we have to break rules to help them... then largely we

I think you know quite well that this is not what xordon is saying at all. Whenever something like this happens, people throw words like "theft" and "stolen" around. This widespread conflation of stealing and copyright infringement is the d

I couldn't agree more with his claim that comments are an unnecessary feature for a modern blog. Back in Web 2.0 times comments were an absolute must-have. I think the web in 2013 has largely moved on from the notion that "everything must h

A couple of Matt's complaints might apply to the design of your blog: tiny fonts and long lines. Long lines are a readability problem because the eye tends to get lost when jumping from the end of a line to the start of a new one. Small fon

There is nothing wrong with cleaning offices for a living. It's good, hard, honest work. But did you really bust your ass learning to program just to clean toilets so that somebody getting paid more than you can make the numbers on their sp

I'm struggling to find anywhere in the cited Ubuntu blog post that talks about a vow to maintain focus. The summary itself never revisits that phrase to explain it further, and while the words "maintain" and "focus" do appear in the Ubuntu

Crockford's refusal to extend JSON is genius IMO. Totally agree with you: if the task you're trying to accomplish sounds like a fit for XML, then please use XML. JSON is what it is, and not everything needs to be gradually extended into six

It's because incorporating any open source product into your own project means you will need to read and/or modify its source code eventually. I work around deficient documentation by reading source code several times every day. And event
