   I have personally noticed a similar thing as well. The solution that worked for me is to use less. In my case, I have settled for multipage applications (I find that SPA's increase the complexity of a UI exponentially) and I primary us

   I do remember watching Twin Peaks, it was certainly odd. Quite a few X-Files episodes had this same oddness as well. I think X-Files also made the whole supernatural thing popular in the 90's and I remember that by the time Buffy came

   Not to sure how "fair" this comparison is. You see, both Symfony and Zend Framework are mostly components, doing kinda low-level-ish things. It probably means that overall their complexity is probably higher. A more fair compariso

   I'm really looking forward to Bootstrap 4, it's been one of those key productivity boosters in my arsenal of skills. So, many thanks to the Bootstrap team, you've made the world a better place (if anything, certainly my world

   A question about the insurance in regards to the accident he had. He says "Bill had crappy insurance, paying out a maximum of $20,000 for the accident". He says the total bill was $130,000, so is he implying that he himself had to

    I witnessed a startup implode (from the inside), which was interesting. I managed to launch my side project, Postways [1], as public beta a few days ago. It was a major birth and I'm proud I made it this far. I'm ready for the nex

    I have a Dell UltraSharp Monitor [1] attached to my Air when I use it, the monitors come with the correct display port cables to connect to a Mac. You can also daisy-chain (MST) these monitors so technically if you'd use two you only h

    The premise seems to be a little odd, i.e. I tell you what to draw and then I guess what it is. I guess it would have been more of an A.I. challenge if the premise was; draw anything and I'll try to guess what it is.

    Oh, sure. I'm not saying you shouldn't communicate and I don't think developers having private offices will stop them from doing that. Communication will depend on the culture. What a private office (or quiet space) does allo

    Usually the trendiest part of town is also easiest to get to. Also, depending on your business you might want to be where your clients, or potential clients, are. Having at least a quiet and loud space is to me a better compromise than some

    I would prefer to work in a private office as well rather than working from home since I like to go into work and hang out with my collages every once in a while. A private office will allow me, as a developer, to choose when "I"

    I'm not entirely to sure if I understand your comment, however, what I mean is; The company behind MongoDB is a database company so they probably have some sort of affinity and appreciation for a product like RethinkDB, and, they are c

    Just going out on a limb here, and I know neither MongoDB or RethinkDB (nor the companies behind them) very well. But, from what you're saying it almost sounds like that RethinkDB would be a great companion to MongoDB. And if so, that

    I use MongoDB for periphery data to my applications, i.e. to aggregate data such as logs and events. It's also great to store things like reports in it due to the flexible structure. However, for my actual application database I always

    Would you not build a web version first? I mean, you can use that on both a phone and a desktop. While I'm reading this I can't help thinking that this is a great example of a bunch of developers who are more interested in buildin
