The best solution to the toxicity issue of anonymous internet comments I've seen relates to identifying the users. In Sweden there is a country-wide ID system called BankID. You can authenticate towards any website using a mobile app w

We use WebEx as our VC of choice where I work. Turns out the only reason people used it was that there was no alternative when using the VC in the office. When we switched to WFH people dropped WebEx immediately in favor of Google Meet. Now

This kind of elitist rhetoric is really not constructive. Implying somehow that WordPress developers aren't "talented" because they don't use your tech stack is incredibly ignorant.

So basically abusing how serverless functions are supposed to work by "warming them up". I wouldn't count on this working long-term as cloud vendors will be more aggressive in discouraging this behaviour.

It's the same in the nordics. Most jobs check for a criminal record, even in smaller IT companies. At least in Sweden, the outcome of being sentenced (losing your job, making it very hard to find a new one) is factored into the sentenc

A bit sad that despite Slack being (or being built) on top of PHP, there is still no official PHP SDK four years later.

Docker Desktop does -not- run VirtualBox on OSX, that was a long time ago. Docker on OSX uses HyperKit: https://docs.docker.com/machine/get-started/#prerequisite-in...

HTTPS Everywhere will attempt to connect to a site using SSL, and if that times out will pop out an error message and allow you to load the site over HTTP temporarily. At least that's how it works on Firefox + latest version of the ext

This pricing is actually not that far-fetched. Consider that the competitor UptimeRobot offer 50 monitors at 5 minutes interval for free. You can lease servers very cheaply nowadays, uptime monitoring is not resource-intensive and is an eas

Probably due to advertising on the box or in-store touting this feature.

Like others have mentioned, there is no such thing in PHP. Each request is handled individually from a blank slate and the context is destroyed when the request finishes.

This is correct only if you run "Hello World" apps on a single server. PHP scales horizontally so any real-world application can easily scale to 10, 100 or 1000 servers. If there is no other scaling challenges (like databases) the

If you mean persistent databases or caching like Redis, it's still much easier to accidentally reference a global pointer due to a programming error than accidentally put something in a cache store. All systems need some sort of persis

Isn't that the same thing? Say that you forget to specify that "my_login_cookie" should vary the response from the backend. User A logs in. Now user B logs in, but because the page was cached from user As visit, user B sees t

Varnish cache works by creating a hash of the request consisting of method, url and for a site where you log in, that would also include the cookie you use for identification. Your proposed collision idea is very improbable but possible. Th

By starting every request from a clean slate, you have much less mental overhead (did I accidentally reuse a variable from a previous request?) and it eliminates an entire class of programming bugs. It's the best thing about PHP, and d

This is a cute story, but what was -actual- the cost (time, monetary and opportunity) in building your own CMS instead of applying basic performance tweaks to an off the shelf system?
