There's also https://github.com/metaloha/cTimer which does kind of the same thing, but without a decorator.

This feels a bit backwards for me - MVC fits very well into the front-end where the entire application can be run, and the back-end is treated as data-storage only. MVC on the server has always been problematic because the way the View port

There are no feasible technical justifications for doing so. The big touted benefit (caching) is a non-issue IMHO, since it only helps the first page (if you haven't visited the site before, at least) - after that, even if the files ha

Agreed - I enjoy Magic, but it's expensive to even become competitive at the local level. Living card games (FFG makes several) can still have expansions packs, but everyone has access to the same card pool and all the cards are equall

I would add to #5 (Poker and Blackjack) that there are many collectable and "living" card games with similar mechanics. NetRunner remains one of my favourites for that reason - asymmetric play, bluffing, and risk management :)

They're service applications for O&G companies to help with government regulation compliance, ISO auditing, and well performance, among other things. There are a lot of automated and manual processes that have to be dealt with by t

Friend of a friend situation - a guy I worked with at another company had a friend who we game with once in a while (board games and miniatures games), and she works for this company. She let me know they had an opportunity and I made the c

I'm not in Texas - I'd love to visit someday, I know a couple of people who lived in Houston until a few days ago. I'm in Alberta, Canada - kind of a sibling to Texas :)

No, but if I was, I bet I could keep them from having to reboot their cloud services every week!

Front-end JS? Need, mainly. Most of the UI/UX people I worked with have not maintained their skills, and I was getting tired of knowing more and doing better work than them in their own field. As it happens, there's a much better

Front-end JS for the oil-and-gas industry. Custom, industry-specific customer-facing web applications. Interesting work, but the business logic required by some companies is freakin' terrifying :)

Is there a non-paywalled version? I don't feel like signing up to the Wall Street Journal right now.

I've noticed this on my Pixel XL as well, though it's quite a bit more subtle than the video shows. Even right-side up, if I look below my finger instead of above it, the effect is noticeable. I'm not technically qualified to

I'm doing a root-level reply so it doesn't start out too buried :) Most people use Bootstrap and Foundation completely wrong. They're meant as RAD (Rapid Application Development) frameworks, not production-level frameworks. F

For example, changing the font-size calculations at widths greater than 50em could use 80vw instead of 100vw. At 60em go to 70vw, and at 75em use 55vw.

I have to agree with some others here - on my larger monitor, the text is far too large to be easily read. The large spacing between letters and lines, combined with the excessively large body text is just causing eye fatigue, and I literal

Looking at a map, I guess I can see Ontario being close to central Canada (along with Manitoba and Saskatchewan), but Quebec is definitely almost as East as it gets, and since the data centre is in Montreal...

When did Montreal become "central" Canada? Why didn't Amazon call it Canada East instead?

We're a Canadian company, not US-based, and if that's not a problem then all we do is responsive websites backed by PHP and MySQL (in-house). Please feel free to contact me at russel at metaloha.com and we can discuss the things y

Lately I've been seeing this as part of the problem in web dev. When you start a new project - let's say something like an employee management system that tracks schedules, locations, reviews, etc. - one of the early things you do

That's kind of like saying a bathroom isn't a room :) But they're also not major chords, they're fifths - E5, A5, etc, although I personally often add the octave to make it 3 notes.

Am I wrong in seeing that PHP seems to fail the least weirdly in the full results?

Oh man this hurts. I worked with a company several years ago to bring an "enterprise youtube" to market, but it was only ever marketed to pyramid-style corporations as a sales training tool. I believe it's still in use by a f
