PHP is not obsolete. Quite the opposite. HHVM by Facebook has made PHP a bit cooler. An argument from a PHP developer (i'm not one, personally dislike it) could be: "its good enough for facebook"

I love the idea of using containers. Due to linux popularity and google's backing, containers will be next. But FREEBSD had jails since back in the day. What's the benefit of containers over bsd jails?

Email is a fundamental part of the internet. It is a protocol that is good enough to perform most tasks and has stood the test of time. Setting up your own email server will teach you the fundamental building blocks of managing a server and

I find myself wary of these types of articles. As people become desensitized to clicking on ads, these articles seem to be the new ads.

I know a few people that upload all their photos to flickr. Browsing albums is great and sharing them except for the occasional "Forbes style ads" that come up. But for 1 TB free space, a few ads seem to make sense. I personally u

I feel these types of articles glorify work-o-holics, as if to indicate if you're not working 24/7, 365 days a year, you're not trying hard enough. On the flip side, it's an example of how far you can push yourself when

I really like it's human curated. I find too many of the sites are just a link dump which eventually turn to spam or old links

I disagree. It's like saying crappy musicians make better music. Development is means to an end. The better you know your tools the more productive you'll be. Its true with anything.

I considered doing this myself, but I read the biggest challenge is making sure your emails are not considered spam. Your private ip might be part of a larger network where your fellow "VPS" users might be considered spam. How do

What do you want your intranet platform to do? - Collaboration - Spaces for documents - Access control - Used for forms? (surveys, polls etc? ) It's easier to suggest if there are more specific requirements.

How about Digital Ocean? I have used them for the past year and have been happy. There is also Vultr.com, a digital ocean clone that has worked well for me. Ramnode and Prometheus are reliable.

I'd like to play with Plan9. Some of its concepts are very interesting. Ideally, I'd like to have a test bed running on a raspberry PI or rent a VPS in the cloud to play with it. Other than playing with it, if someone has some pro

Read 'Hackers and Painters'. Think of yourself as an artist. Your medium is software. Do you have side projects? Unlike a lot of other professions, software puts you in control. You can build whatever you like. Regardless of the j

its a lesson U.S. bookstores can learn from. Not evolve to convenient stores, but offer other services. The cafe is a major influence on which bookstore I go to. Maybe it will work the other way. Go for the cafe stay for the books!

Microsoft making a lot of moves that are starting surprise the tech community. it will take some time to convert the generation that grew up with the old closed microsoft, but slowly I believe they will have converts.

Its great news, but I think it will take some time before the developers that grew up thinking of MSoft as a closed shop will slowly change their minds. A few "wow" open source releases will really help shift this mindset.

no OCR. It's a feature i considered but then wasn't sure how useful it'd be. Most of the time i just need to recall my receipts and hand them to my accountant. And there are apps that do OCR better. Didn't want to get s

I've tried this solution myself, but I find the later copy them to a folder on PC never happens. The receipts build up and when i do remember, i'm not at my pc. When i am at my pc, i forget to copy them from my phone. I wanted som
