I disagree. Namespaces help hugely, as do Traits, etc. It used to be difficult back in the pre 5.4 days, but we have come a long way since then. Older projects will suffer till they're brought up to spec, true.

Right, and who's paying me to work with one of those alternatives? No one. My reference for what you quoted was a Rails project written by a Python dev who thought he needed to make Ruby more like Python. The resulting code was so horr

I started freelancing in my area doing Ruby on Rails, and found it far harder to maintain a project. I also found it harder to acquire clients in my area for new RoR development. More work was available locally with PHP. Clients were more w

I'm not sure. The `dscacheutil -flushcache` command he lists for Snow Leopard still works for me (OS X Yosemite here).

Sure. If you have a ton of potentially layout-thrashing changes, just clone your page's highest wrapper node. Then make your changes and replace the node. I haven't needed it, or tested it for performance, but it's clearly do

The only thing I would add to patio11's advice is to go back to the employee and let her know what's about to happen. If you do it without any warning, then yes she might feel that it was a breach of trust. But, if you tell her be

I think this rating category is overdue. It isn't as essential as crash test safety is, but there are many vehicles that cause blinding glare. Or, they just don't illuminate enough. I hope the vehicle manufacturers pay attention.

I think you're right. But I also think it has a USB3 adapter on the drive itself (straight connection to the Pi USB) and an altered form factor to fit the Pi. The latter is hard to tell from the description/photos, though.

I think it's because they're aiming for anything they can innovate on. With custom silicon, you can optimize the hardware pathways digitally and by hand. I've heard that the gains can be worth the effort, but it's a bi

I would suggest reading this article (and the others listed in this series) as a good comparison of various tradeoffs in object-oriented design. The conclusion of where OO/Functional is open/close is intriguing.

I think your definition of productivity is off a bit. You need to account for "effective" productivity. My hours might be 40+ but how many of those are truly focused and productive? Hence, working less time with (theoretically) be

Not to mention, if they namespaced all math functions it'd break backward compatibility badly. Given that no core PHP functions are namespaced, I don't see why they should start now. Also, with the functions in the global namesp

Combine your techniques with adblocker software, and anyone's pretty much set. I do have systems with mic/speakers, but I block ads. And I don't own a smart TV, just a cheapo dumb one w/o an internet connection.

Well, one trick would be to have "starting location" assets as a tag so you could always hop directly to a save, then begin streaming the rest of the surrounding area. I foresee a lot of smaller games without this concern having g

Their idea is to "tag" assets so that you can transition the assets in the game. So the tutorial assets may be part of the "initial download" tag that tvOS will automatically fetch, but once you're done with the tut

Interesting. I've seen the few articles that discusses this happening to women, but this is the first I've seen applying to a man. Though, it does make sense that it could happen to either gender.

While true, there are quite a few programmers who can. I'd go for a core library + PSR, so that the average developer can still use the core library. That way advanced developers can use something PSR compatible, and libraries that dep

This is a decent review of recent/past happenings in PHP cryptography, and where things are going in the future. I agree that we need a PSR for cryptography primitives—it'd prevent quite a few problems.
