Thanks - I was wondering if you had it from some official statistics or if it was your own experience. For comparison, in Copenhagen, the avg. salary for 5 yrs is around 37K DKK, which corresponds to 47K SEK. That's according to our la

Where does the quoted salary range come from? It seems a bit low to me.

Very much agree. Slicing the existing application up in smaller parts and migrating those piecemeal is another form of incremental rewriting, as opposed to working through one layer at a time.

The thing is though - if no one understands the existing system, how could you ever hope to build a new one that provides the same functionality? You'll have to interrogate that system to find out how it functions in order to replicate

My experience from doing rewrites is that if at all possible (and it usually is, even if you don't think so), do the rewrite incrementally. For example, in the case described here, they wanted to switch rdbms, change up the schema, cha

That's not a very meaningful metric on its own. 5K users per day? Per month? How's the distribution of traffic? Do people use it spread out over the month or mainly within the last or first days of the month? Do they use it on wor

The ICO is pretty well known in the UK though. I'm not from the UK and I know about them. (Mostly because of their role in the whole eu-cookie-law farce)

Wow. This is actually still wide open. This is really bad. Fun fact - you don't even have to send the basic aut header - it'll respond just fine without it.

Also, depending on the language you work in, a function call may be quite expensive, compared to a straight loop.

The exchange during the last question in the Q&A section is golden: "(...) and of course there was the infamous ahx tracker - (guy asking interrupts) - thanks, I wrote it"

The whole baked-in type system also adds a lot of complexity. On top of that you get the complexity that is xml it self (namespaces, while theoretically a good idea, are pure insanity).

1972 was a crazy year.

I'm sure it helps, but we have mostly the same situation in the rest of Scandinavia and that's without any oil.

Second that. I don't use them currently, but have in the past. dnsmadeeasy are solid.

Completely unrelated, but what do you think about vips ( http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ )? I recently discovered the difference in performance between im and gm and that let me to investigate vips, which is presumably (a lo

xls is a catch-all extension for a bunch of formats that Excel (the program) will interpret. See my comment below about SpreadsheetML.

Here's a really basic implementation that I used in some code as a drop-in replacement for csv: https://gist.github.com/troelskn/cf9df474662c88ba7951

xls is not just one format. There are several formats which Excel will understand, that uses that extension. One of them is a real simple xml-based format (SpreadsheetML), that is way easier to generate than proper excel files and has most

Looks like an advanced version of "spintax"[0], which is popular amongst seo blackhatters. I could certainly see this as a replacement. [0] http://umstrategies.com/what-is-spintax/

Right - but node.js is already a C++ project, so I don't see the difference?

Ruby gems? How'd you figure that?

You're right. It's still funny though.

How about: apt-get install php5 apache echo "<html><body>Hello World</body></html>" > /var/www/index.php The end.

They should remove that. It'll get them smacked by the google spam team eventually.

Same here.

Yeah - I'm surprised they are still in business, really. But then, I'm equally surprised that godaddy are.
