Well done to your daughter! She is clearly a smart one. I wish her the very best for her future career (possibly) in computers. :)

Looks like the average connection is somewhere between 10 and 30 Mbps? Seems enough for browsing the internet, online banking, emails, some social media, and watching videos in standard definition. That sounds like enough for the average pe

Because you can set up a rudimentary queueing system in MySQL/PostgreSQL very quickly these days. And it scales really well for small to medium sized applications! I maintain a web application with a few hundred daily users and with th

Worked at a place where the lead engineer was adamant a graph database was the solution. After two years of trying to get it launched, the project failed spectacularly. Another team got given the rewrite and build it in six months using MyS

I love SQLite, so please don't think that I'm a SQLite hater, but: I've never seen SQLite used in a setup which multiple machines connect to the same database over a network. For example: A web application with a web server,

Neat! This is exactly what I'm planning to do one day. How did you find the development experience? Anything that you would change or do differently? Also, how does Kaboom/Kaplay hold up under load with lots of sprites? I've

Yes! Windows got it right IMO.

Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining. This is much clearer.

I should clarify that I see the value of encryption at rest for something like an employee laptop, which could be left at a bar (while powered off) by accident. I just don't get the value of it for always online servers.

This might sound like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway: What benefit does encryption at rest solve for something which is never intended to actually rest? For example, a MySQL database powering a web application is expected to be

> but one thing that dissuades me from getting into it is the whole monstrous npm system of components around it. You are not alone. It is very complicated, but a lot of people seem to get off on the complexity (for some unknown reason).

I don't think you can swap bits out. When I used it things seemed baked in. Yes, mainly suited to 2D side or top down view games.

Backend: Stick with the LAMP/LEMP stack. It's not perfect, but if you're moving from WordPress (which uses the LAMP/LEMP stack) then sticking with it will make the move less painful. In terms of a framework. Laravel is a

As many others have said, I think HTMX was around many years ago, just in different forms. There were many jQuery plugins that did most of what HTMX did. But maybe it has risen in popularity recently because of JavaScript fatigue? Unrelated

This is one of the most likely theories IMHO. A lot of sightings started at the end of the 70s, which would align with the introduction of this law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_Wild_Animals_Act_197... Rumou

LAMP (or LEMP) stack, hosted on a single VM (probably Digital Ocean). You probably want to use a framework of sorts. Laravel or Symfony are good. Not mandatory though. Server side rendering to start off with. Bulma for CSS. Alpine for JS. T

Agreed! I find XFCE to strike the best balance between simplicity, performance, and features.

You have the same person causing two different problems. 1. With regards to the CTO, treat them like an employee. Prove that their performance as an employee is not good enough, and fire them. They now have no reason to interact with the co

LAMP (or LEMP) stack. Throw in a PHP framework (probably Laravel for rapid development) and use server side rendering. Maybe add in Redis for caching too. All hosted on a single Digital Ocean droplet.

It's all relative. When you're in your thirties, you'll panic on hitting forty. None of it matters really. Would you rather be 25 and unhappy or 35 and happy? Your answer may shock you! ;)
