It looks like your projects employed PHP poorly. PHP has been great for my company and my developers. We have never had to face such grave consequences because of it, and we've employed it in companies generating millions of $ of reven

I like the tennis streams on prime video, but they didn't show any of the Australian open. That made me consider cancelling prime... The faster delivery is a nice bonus, but I have prime for the live tennis content mainly.

How do you explain the plethora of sub standard apps already in both major app stores then?

Yes, pretty much!

Or alternatively, process the data anyway, make tens of billions of dollars from it, and pay a 2 billion dollar fine if the regulators find out. The fine is just another cost of doing business ;)

Recruiters and estate agents seem to be the smarmiest individuals I've ever come across. I'm not sure why that is, but the pattern is obvious. I really don't understand why we're expected to trust the largest transaction

On a localised basis, it is perhaps not so bad, however at a higher level, it allows you to piece together a huge amount of info, including grouping members of households etc. Honestly, it's not a great piece of info to be leaking, if

Honestly, it's about time we got push notifications in Safari. It was a really annoying missing feature, and meant I had to pay Twilio to notify the iOS users of my web app. Hopefully that'll soon come to an end.

That explains why every Indian or Pakistani music video has this sort of comment at the top with a few thousand likes: "I'm Indian/Pakistani, but hats off to Pakistan/India for creating this masterpiece. Music unites us

Whether the criticism is justified or not, anything new is usually given the same treatment.

Not sure if that's smart. Firstly, others will take advantage of a known question, thus you're putting yourself at a disadvantage. And secondly, your job (and perhaps life in general) is about drawing on your experience to solve p

Dare I say, that's even worse, yet more fitting.

Isn't that like saying the weirdo luring kids with candy in a playground is giving the kids options because they'll probably enjoy the candy?! I'd rather not take the candy.

To be completely honest, I don't think this was a great deal for the users from the start. It seemed like Facebook prying on an uneducated, easily manipulated audience to increase their user base. I know that I certainly wouldn't

Why the heck is running a your own email server so complex?! I run my own email servers, as does my company, and they can be an absolute pain at times. Once you've got everything settled, they're okay, but still, they're unne

If you want to stop the brain drain from more worthwhile areas to less worthwhile areas, you need to at least pay better starting salaries in the more worthwhile fields. Otherwise, you'll end up with potential Einsteins playing with sp

I like the idea, however, there are many accounts on here that have a significant amount of karma gained through auto-posting already, and that greatly impacts the effectiveness of such a proposal. For the heavy auto-posters, let's say

Offline-level privacy is not guaranteed with native apps either, so please don't live under that incorrect notion! If you do not trust the developer of a web app, you can always disconnect from your Wi-Fi, use the app, close the tab an

Comfortable money + marketing hype keep it that way unfortunately. If governments really wanted to prioritise innovation, they should consider giving a banker's salary to a research scientist.

Avoiding a particular job is not the same as sitting around doing nothing. It's quite possible for you to get basic income, yet channel your energy to other productive things.

I am a single data point, but trying to be too helpful when I've decided to leave an organisation has almost always backfired on me. My advice: do the bare minimum, so you're not considered a complete trash bag. Anything more mi

Understood. Yeah, I imagine they need to fine tune things to account for pandemics and other extenuating circumstances. I guess during the last pandemic of this scale, there wasn't really much of an aviation industry.

But would it be enough to make airlines relinquish lucrative slots? I personally feel the problem is more related to a bogus slot allocation/deallocation policy that forces an airline to fly an empty plane around to hold a slot. Could

Thanks for this - I've learned something new today. I did not realise timezone updates were so frequent. I do find that having the timestamp at hand makes math easier in a lot of the use cases I've come across. I wonder if there i
