Is it just me or does he kind of write in the same style as ChatGPT? It’s something about the length and structure of the sentences, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Good article, but this not a “trick”, it’s a core part of the HTTP protocol. Worthy of an article non the less, judging by how misunderstood the topic is among the commenters here.

Not to mention that you have to set the locale to C for character ranges to not be undefined behavior. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393

I also write PHP every day, and the solution I've landed in is, as you suggest, Docker. With Docker and docker-compose you can put Apache config, MySQL data, etc, in your working directory which makes moving/backing up your projec

This is a bit of tangent, but I see this: > Let a thousand flowers bloom. This phrase is sorely misunderstood. This was a way to lure out opponents of Mao Zedong, by opening up for public criticism of his rule. Then, when he knew who opp

My mother has one of these, but I didn't know its name until now! I actually remember the salesman coming to our home and showing us how it works. It's still going strong ~25 years later. I'm currently using a Miele something

Are you saying Twitter is paying ~$1.5B in interest rates every year?

Why isn’t the compiler just doing inline whenever possible? Why is it a user-facing feature of the language, it looks like it should be a compiler optimization to me.

I believe the reason this post rubs so many the wrong way is because the author keeps praising his “opponents”, trying to sound positive while being inherently negative. It’s an ugly way of argumenting as it forces the other side to be the

Not OP, but Apple has been selling Apple Watch series 3 as a new device in 2022, so people who bought it got less than a year of software updates.

You're absolutely right, the planet is in no danger. It's us humans that are in danger. We are polluting at a rate far too great for us humans to handle, and if we want to survive as a species we must do something about that.

It’s as if the author put my thoughts into words, and then put all other thoughts into words, and it resulted in many, many words, without much thought put into it.

I don’t disagree with this :) It absolutely depends on the situation though. Having a foundation which is maintained and (perhaps more importantly) documented properly by a community can be quite powerful. My original point was more about t

First of all: PHP is fine. It really is. Second: Doing a full rewrite with a junior team is not going to end well. They’ll just make other mistakes in the rewritten app, and then you’ll be back where your started. You need to gradually intr

My only worry with this is that Lockdown Mode will be a reason to let the “default” mode be less secure. I understand some security features can cause major inconveniences, and so Apple needs to weigh security against convenience as part of

I don’t think those things matter much on the whole, and I also think Swedish (tech) salaries are actually lower than what they’re paying in the US. But the Swedish krona has lost ~22% against the USD in a year. So a 10% margin seems pretty

Swedish VAT is 25%, but the price is ~35% higher than the US. I think this is because the Swedish krona has lost value against the dollar over the last year, but I don’t think Apple has actually raised prices in Sweden (for the previous iPh

I don’t get why RCS has to involve carriers. Apple could implement iMessage without involving carriers, so it should be possible to implement a messaging protocol which doesn’t rely on them (but also isn’t proprietary). By involving carrier

Prefixing table names with the app name is a simple way of letting multiple apps share the same database. Sharing the same database used to be really common, almost standard I’d say, when deploying on low-cost web hosts and also locally whe

Soketi is awesome. I’m using it with Laravel on some internal projects and it’s been really easy to setup and almost zero maintenance when up.

I believe many of us who worry about the sustainability of our current society is not really worried about facing hardship, but rather about causing hardship (for future generations). At least that’s true for me. I want to leave this world

Multiple NULLs in a unique index are useful when an entity has 0 or 1 of a simple scalar value. For example, you might have a column with an external ID, such as a facebook login id in your users table. Not all users have a facebook id, but

I think the author was just trying to be nice to the reader. The worst case scenario when suffering from impostor syndrome is not that everyone is winging it all the time, but rather that you are in fact not very good at what you're do

What has helped me is accepting that I can't control other peoples' actions. So all I can do is use my vote in elections, doing my best to avoid making things worse, and try to prepare for me and my own. If others are destroying t

One of the named authors in the footer also wrote an article about the STAR algorithm, which I think might provide some more context: https://www.zetland.dk/historie/sOMVZ7qG-m8aLzmJK-94d1e

Inflation is measured in price increases. So 100% inflation means the price increased by 100%, i.e. prices doubled.

I recently read an article[1] where Spotify said they wanted the ad revenue to make up 20-40% (up from like 10% or so now) of their income, and so they are trying to push more ads. As a premium subscriber since 2010, I promised myself that
