That's just throwing complexity (IDE or SCM has to support that functionality) at a problem that doesn't need to be there in the first place (just use tabs instead of spaces). Even so, I would still need to tell my editor how many spaces to

Always, always with the tabs, never spaces. The main reason is that on my widescreen monitor, indents of 4 characters or less are hard to visually parse in dense areas of code. If the original author of this code (the actual code I am setti

Cars, sex and music, depending on the audience. After that, I explain the idea. Edit: (to clarify) Cars, like you said, because a certain amount of car knowledge is already in the popular mob-brain. It's fairly easy to describe your web ser

Ironically, I just spent a bunch of time this weekend looking for MtG apps for Android. I installed and tried M:tG Tracker (only used it as a life tracker so far, but it worked well) and couldn't find anything else useful. I wonder how much

Hehe - to actually answer the question, though, the method you are describing might work with enough good planning behind it. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like your lead dev is willing to do that. You will probably find that the amount o

Wow, sounds like my workplace - pretty much the same story, except the two devs who wrote the 300,000 line monstrosity are already gone (worst page record: a page with one topic and 300 comments generates over 10,000 - yes, ten thousand - c

FLV is a holdover from a less civilized time. The new regime requests the following in at least 3 different bandwidths (mobile, standard, HD) each: * MP4 (h.264 Main Profile w/AAC audio) * OGG (Theora with Vorbis or MP3 audio) * WEBM (WebM

Ahhhh, I just transferred three domains there a couple of days ago! Sorry EFF! If I'd known they were going to do this, I'd have waited. Guess I'll just have to donate directly...

Web apps generally need to be accessible on port 80, and only a single service can claim an IP address and port combination. If web apps were distributed as services, each one would need to run on a unique IP/port combination. In order for

Like @lucisferre, I've been enjoying my 15" MBP for dev work. I miss my old 17" Dell for the higher resolution and vertical space, but it's a small price to pay.

https://github.com/indyarmy/MDW This has the limitation of not being able to chain queries via OOP, but does use PDO and is tested enough to be considered stable.

I went through almost exactly the same situation a few weeks ago - Air for portability, Pro for speed. In the end, I went with the 15" Pro for two reasons - I can stuff 8GB of RAM in it for my web and audio work, and the 15" screen is way e

In about 3 months, one of the startups I'm involved with will be operating in this space, including the availability of a white-label service tier and REST API. I can send you info if you're interested (my email is in my profile) in waiting

The IndyArmy link is just the "skeleton" that gets loaded when a site is created but has no other content. No redirect involved, and it's meant to let my clients know their site is working and to get something on it quickly :) Thanks for th

I will argue that ORMs are not useful to the majority of good developers. The PHP app I am currently saddled with generates anywhere from 100 (absolute minimum) to 40,000 MySQL queries on every single page view thanks to a developer who did

For the web, you want MP4 (h.264), OGG (Theora) and WebM to be able to play in all browsers using Flash as a fallback (Flash will use the MP4 file). If the computer viewing the Powerpoint presentation has Quicktime installed, an MP4 (or MOV

No argument from me - but how many people are using it? Just from watching SO for a few days it seems that nearly all of the people having trouble with their code (tagged 'mysql' and 'php') are using the old methods. Almost no one is using

This project is just a simple wrapper for accessing a database. It simplifies things for people who might tend to forget sanitizing their inputs (particularly INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) while providing a convenient, class-based interface.
