Sure, and that's the way it works by default: In a <textarea> Enter adds a new line - in a single-line <input> Enter submits the form. What I'm saying is that if you have a single-line <input> field and pressing Ente

I don't know if they edited the article, but right now it says "dozens of millions of pounds", which would mean at least £24 million, or roughly $36 million.

Greece and Cyprus were forced to receive "economic help". Not AFAIK. Their alternatives were just worse.

Actually the Russian mafia supposedly has a lot of money in the tax haven that is Cyprus. (Source (in Danish): http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Udland/2013/03/16/100422.htm )

I don't understand the need for this. Hosting 10 GB costs $1 per month on Rackspace Cloud Files and even less on Amazon S3. Secondly, if you use a paid service you don't need to run your files through scripts to upload them, and you don't r

The big thing that killed market fundamentalism for me was doing a stint in business consulting and seeing what the average rich person actually is: a glorified street hustler. Capitalism isn't just about the rich people. Small business o

CRUD apps are inherently simpler than airplanes, and unlike airplanes no one dies when your CRUD app crashes.

Sure - but if you compare, say, Zend with Laravel, you'll see that the former is hugely complex compared to the latter - and what I'm saying is that the complexity doesn't seem to make the code more maintainable later on - possibly quite th

I know what you mean, and I realize there's more to web development than what I just wrote. Nonetheless, I think frameworks such as Zend add a level of complexity that is rarely justified. Zend fans would probably claim that doing things th

Pretty much sums up how I feel about most of the big frameworks (Zend in particular, but also Symfony and CakePHP). The problem of over-engineering isn't just related to the big PHP frameworks - the same problem exists in Python and Ruby. A

Yes and no - the Americans I know who live here are generally very happy with it. Some are so used to being able to speak English everywhere in Denmark that they live here for years without getting to know the language. But I would definite

What kind of encoding issues are we talking about? I fail to see how PHP in itself should be specifically vulnerable to encoding problems.

by jonascopenhagen 14y ago

Deploying a PHP site can be done with the use of one or two apt-get commands. In Python I'd need to do that plus write WSGI-related stuff in a script, alter the Apache configuration, etc. Check out the instructions for Flask or Django if

Do the majority of people print books themselves at home? Not in my experience. And if they did, they'd waste both time and money and have an inferior product.

by jonascopenhagen 14y ago
Sure, I agree that 3D printers have a future as children's toys (I wrote that towards the end of my blog post). But the factory-at-home idea where you print cheap objects in order to save money/time is not realistic.

by jonascopenhagen 14y ago
Home laser printers haven't replaced books, magazines, or professional marketing materials like brochures or flyers. The same way that 3D printing won't replace factory manufacturing.

Flying cars and helicopters are not the same thing. The idea proposed in the early eighties was that "everyone" (meaning the majority of consumers in first world countries) would use flying cars instead of normal ones. This isn't even close

As an aside, I've talked to a number of people involved with manufacturing and product design who use 3D printers for prototyping. Not a single one of them believe that we'll have 3D printing factories at home (although one of them did ment
