Sure, and that's the way it works by default: In a Enter adds a new line - in a single-line Enter submits the form. What I'm saying is that if you have a single-line field and pres…

There are too many forms out there where pressing Enter (when an input field is focused) does nothing. Pressing Enter should submit the form. Normal HTML(5) forms work this way, bu…

I don't know if they edited the article, but right now it says "dozens of millions of pounds", which would mean at least £24 million, or roughly $36 million.

Isn't that weekly? It'd be cool to have a daily one.

Greece and Cyprus were forced to receive "economic help". Not AFAIK. Their alternatives were just worse.

Actually the Russian mafia supposedly has a lot of money in the tax haven that is Cyprus. (Source (in Danish): http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Udland/2013/03/16/100422.htm )

I don't understand the need for this. Hosting 10 GB costs $1 per month on Rackspace Cloud Files and even less on Amazon S3. Secondly, if you use a paid service you don't need to ru…

The big thing that killed market fundamentalism for me was doing a stint in business consulting and seeing what the average rich person actually is: a glorified street hustler. Cap…

what would you accomplish by switching from Ruby to Python? Simpler syntax?

CRUD apps are inherently simpler than airplanes, and unlike airplanes no one dies when your CRUD app crashes.

Sure - but if you compare, say, Zend with Laravel, you'll see that the former is hugely complex compared to the latter - and what I'm saying is that the complexity doesn't seem to …

I know what you mean, and I realize there's more to web development than what I just wrote. Nonetheless, I think frameworks such as Zend add a level of complexity that is rarely ju…

> I have yet to see any Java-style absurdity. Then you probably haven't tried Zend Framework ;)

Pretty much sums up how I feel about most of the big frameworks (Zend in particular, but also Symfony and CakePHP). The problem of over-engineering isn't just related to the big PH…

Yes and no - the Americans I know who live here are generally very happy with it. Some are so used to being able to speak English everywhere in Denmark that they live here for year…

What kind of encoding issues are we talking about? I fail to see how PHP in itself should be specifically vulnerable to encoding problems.

> Encoding. Never had any big problems in Python and a lot in PHP Encoding is rarely a problem in PHP. Use UTF-8 everywhere, make sure every part of the system uses it (the databas…

Deploying a PHP site can be done with the use of one or two apt-get commands. In Python I'd need to do that plus write WSGI-related stuff in a script, alter the Apache configuratio…
