Not entirely true. PHP definitely tries to perform a numeric comparison on two strings if it thinks they are both numerical strings, but this behaviour changed in PHP 5.4 [0]. heron87's scenario was reported as a bug [1], changed in PH

While I admit that using a framework instead of your own solution is a good solution, please note that that's not "zero work", it just passes the buck to the client. The framework's knowledge of the timezones still has t

Seen this pattern many times before. One of those 'en' strings is the current user's language being written into the source, the other is hardcoded. If your server-side templating engine is impotent and only supports variable

TypeScript only does enough run-time argument checking to support default argument values. Full run-time type checking would have overhead. It would also be unnecessary in places where data flows from Typescript function to Typescript funct

It appears I misremembered this a little bit - the issue was with license ownership, not license type. The answer we got from Hetzner support was: " we don't offer MSSQL licenses, if you want it you need your own license for MSS

Be careful and ask support to confirm all the software in your stack will be runnable. We tried to launch an SQL Server (MSSQL) -backed system on one of their root servers and their support said "the Windows licenses we use do not allo

I'm talking about a managed server. No root access. If there was root access, I wouldn't be listening to their "we can't limit access because that's how our management tools work".

That tag can stop you from scrolling sideways because it also says "the width of this document should be the same as the width of the device", killing all horizontal scrolling. It shouldn't affect vertical scroll though, unless height is co

What's there to fix? The tag says "you cannot zoom this site to levels less than 1.0 or more than 1.0", the browser complies. I'm not proud of it, but I've used this very approach to fix a stupid bug in iOS Safari - rotating the device with

That makes sense (thank you, don't know why I didn't realize that myself), but if I override that with css height: auto; , the browser no longer reserves space for the image while loading it... quite unfortunate.

by DCoder 14y ago
If you specify width and height explicitly, certain browsers will have issues resizing them (if you set max-width: 100%, Chrome will squish a larger image horizontally but leave the height as it was, IE will scale it proportionally).
