Are there any decent docs for Zend at all? I struggled with it for years. Simple "how do I ..." questions would just bring up nothing. Not from the docs, nor anywhere else on the web. Any solution I'd find wouldn't work

Are you sure you really need to quit? You mention the money you're spending on it as a downside but if you can afford it and don't plan on using that money for something else then that's not much of an argument. The "fee

About 10 years ago I found this feature of Gmail where you could see the login history, with lots of entries with IPs from China, the US and various other countries. That really drove the point home for me. Since then it's all unique p

Nobody understands this, apart from us techies. Try explain to the average user that storing his screen resolution on a server in the US could mean he's being profiled by the NSA. Reaction will be "oooo you spooky hacker". It

The EU institutions (that came up with this crap) are so bad at managing their hard & software (2 years in to the pandemic, their employees are still WFH on MS tablets with VPN connections that are super unstable). I can't wait to

MS is completely entrenched in so many EU companies that this will never happen. You can't even get people that need a simple word processor or spreadsheet to use LibreOffice.

As a European, frankly this is ridiculous. I'm as concerned as anyone about privacy issues but GDPR has just gone too far in the sense that nobody really understands it (I've undergone trainings with 2x previous employers and ever

Maybe 10 years ago I hung out with a Java developer from Hungary for a while, he worked on stuff for Lufthansa. Hopefully I'm not remembering this wrong, but I think he told me his salary was like 1000EUR / month after tax (maybe

by stef25 5y ago
So we should only pay attention to whatever illness causes the most deaths and ignore the rest? You're free to get ill if you choose (from smoking, covid, whatever) but it's really hard to believe people don't understand you

Several non techie friends already contacted me about a broken FF. There will be millions of people with this problem, indeed.

FF does that as well with my local dev sites. It does suggest "did you mean to go to ...", which then works.

What does that mean exactly? An actual user can't be involved because the links that trigger a GET simply aren't there anymore. Therefore I assume it's a bot hitting faulty links it finds in its cache.
