Band of Brothers and The Pacific I thought were great HBO series. Also Rome is a great series.

Just like when demonstrating object oriented programming with trivial examples, DI suffers the same problem. DI, or Inversion of Control (the thing you want to achieve "through" DI), works best at scale, not with Hello World examp

I've said it before and I say it again; NodeJS is an infrastructure component, not a general purpose application runtime environment. I totally recognise the IO problem in our connected world and NodeJS really does solve the problem ar

Good job! AMF sounds like a great solution when using websockets. Now all I need is a project to try it on...

We had a similar thing on eBay recently. My wife wanted to buy a book about marketing and she found it on eBay for a cheaper price. She ordered the book and when it didn't arrive she contacted the seller. The seller told her, "it&

One of the great developments in the PHP eco-system is the use of components and the inter-op standards developed around them [1]. For many years now, "frameworks" such as Symfony and Zend have been mainly been a set of components

One of my least favourite things about the NPM eco-system is that it doesn't have support for name spacing, i.e. package names are global. I think this is one of the things that Composer (PHP's equivalent of NPM) does very well [1

A mid 2012 MacBook Air with a Core i7 and 8Gigs of ram purchased early 2013 at a discount rate. Had the battery replaced once and it could use a new screen (a few blotches and some bleeding at the edges). Other than that, works fine. Edit:

I did an interview a while ago. I first had a 30 to 45 minute chat with the business owner. After that he called his tech-lead into the meeting who was going to ask me technical questions. He was going to do a white board thing, something w

I never really understood why people would want to build "applications" on top of Lambda. I have always been under the impression that the primary function of Lambda is to assist in programming the AWS environment (in conjunction

I had a bit of boot loop, sometimes it would restart itself for no apparent reason. There was an issue with the on/off button. I took the whole phone apart and cleaned it out with a big brush. It was full of pocket lint, dust, etc. Eve

I think that the whole interviewing and whiteboard frustration is because not all software development is equal. I think software development is a spectrum, with (let's say) on the one hand engineering (the academic side) and the other

I have always wondered about utility poles, they always seem very fragile. Why not just stick everything in the ground?

My personal experience with this is that the ratio matters A LOT. I.e. having juniors out number the seniors is bad. When you have a team that mostly consist of junior and mid-level developers, then they will clique together and they will m

Rather than having an expire date, with a creation time you can e.g. delete everything older than 1 day, or what ever. I.e. you don't hard code the expire time in the data itself. If you want to change the timeout to 2 days it's a

by pan69 9y ago
You probably already add a "time created" column/field to each row/document (at least, I personally do this to all data I store in a database). If you want to expire something, you can now easily calculate it and you can

I think in Dutch it would be more the "tone", how it is asked, rather than the actual words. Imagining myself being a rude Dutch waiter, the rudest I could ask it in Dutch would probably by just saying "Ja?" (as in, Yes)

I agree with you. It's just that "What can I get you" is a the proper "cultural" way to say it in English. In Dutch you say it differently, so a lot of Dutch (not being exposed to the proper cultural English way of

Over the years I have come to notice that programming languages are, most of the time, not important at all. However, tooling and ecosystem around a language is. Turns out, yes, PHP is not a very elegant language and there is still quite a
