I live near there and remember going to see the train in the town’s center when it happened. I remember seeing the wheel’s tracks in the asphalt, as they drove the loco directly on it, and was impressed at how shallow they were. I would hav

First link tells me "this item is not available for purchase". From that page I search for the book's title and find the same thing (same product page, with same reviews, etc.) But with a 13.53$ price tag. Infuriating to real

"However, fast forward to 2018 and React.js is the popular choice for React.js development." Huh?

Very very hard for me to imagine. I know good designers who'd be willing to work for $40/hr. CAD. Developpers are a bit pricier, maybe 60-70... Can't find mediocre ones for 300? Maybe we don't have the same definition of

Fun fact: astronomers (and Nasa) use the Julian calendar for events (for example eclipses) before october 1582. You'd think they use UT, but they don't, so you can match historical dates with celestial events. Also worth noting, a

When I read articles about job interviews, I always wonder what is the correlation coefficient between "being good at interviews" and "being good at doing your actual job".

I also meant that either way, I would not grant a end user the possibility to modify the data structure, be it through the modification of the schema, or through the addition of an EAV definition. Granted one is more dangerous than the othe

One does not imply the other. Whether the schema itself is modified or just the EAV definition does not mean that everybody has the permission to do it. EAV is just the way it is stored/described.

I hesitated when posting the article. Maybe I should have posted the technical one. I wrote them all in one piece, but split them afterwards for different crowds. The one I posted is the least technical one of all, but it's the entry p

Thanks, this is for me the best part. To be honest, I really don't know how realistic it is. All I can say is that I plugged in the numbers and that's the output. You can read about it, if you haven't already, on http:/

You're right, I should probably have posted the link to the live project instead of the blog post. I figured that the story of why I did it is interesting as well though.
