How embarrassing, I guess I'd better close some bugs.

In my experience, most really great developers have made similar mistakes at some point in their pasts. Often these mistakes are what catalyze growth and create the scar tissue that helps them (and organizations) to not repeat the same clas

Followed up via email, this sounds like a bug which we'll look at. We use geoIP for the ccTLD redirect, but then Accept headers should dictate the language subdomain.

I feel like I'm missing something, aren't read replicas run in read-only mode? How would one run long running DDL operations on them?

Lawyers frequently work on a purely speculative basis. Either via free consultations or contingent fees (paid only on a win). It works pretty well for them. There is even a marketplace for crowdsourcing legal opinions from qualified lawyers

We started 99designs to provide opportunities to designers. Each month more and more designers make meaningful salaries from the site and connect with customers that they would otherwise have had to pitch for. Customers who wouldn't have pr

Absolutely. I'm amazed at how many developers don't have some sort of code to show that they can code. The thing I like about asking for open-sourced work is that it's not wasted effort like tests. You write something inherently useful and

As a developer originally from Melbourne, I struggled with this. We settled on WorldPay, who provide the merchant account and the gateway. They are pretty terrible, but they get the job done. Alternately, PaymentExpress ( http://www.payment

Been considering the following hiring technique, interested in thoughts/opinions: We accept applicants of any experience level. To apply, find an open source project on github, get a patch accepted to it. It has to be of useful scope with a

Yup, this is common. If you put this in a function and use extract you can create a clean working space for a template where you can use $vars without worrying about polluting scope. I'd assume the 16x calls would be because they have a ver

It's hard to tell as at the same time of purchasing I upgraded to Lion, but I went from being able to code in a coffee shop for around 4 hours with the 2010 MBA to around 2.5 hours with the new i7 MBA 11.

What exactly does this do that isn't implemented with substr already? Have I misread the docs? Seems it handles positive and negative offsets. Also, wouldn't startsWith and endsWith also be already implemented as strpos and strrpos? Don't g

Paraglide looks interesting, although looking at the main class doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence: https://github.com/bgoldman/Paraglide/blob/master/paraglide.... The lack of tests somewhat seals the deal.
