Why mongo is terrible: http://www.mongodb-is-web-scale.com/ Mongo is a bad choice for 99% of projects. Unless you're 100% sure your data is unstructured and will never ever relate …

Short answer: You don't. You can threaten to take it to social media on your support ticket, and maybe threaten a chargeback in the support ticket. That often gets their attention.…

I think if this was available in some package managers, it would be pretty useful. I mean being able to apt-get/yum/brew/choccy "ricey" and have it work on all of them would make t…

Well they kind-of do. If you have ever used snapchat, they have these strange face-tracking filters, for example one of the most known is the "barf rainbows", where if it detects y…

The fact is however, HTTPS offers massive improvements for security for the majority of users, especially those using public or shared Wi-Fi (i.e. Work or School), assuming they're…

Aha, correct. Loaded up the website that appeared downgraded, it's still HTTP/2 in the incognito window, and chrome://net-internals/#http2 does confirm that it is in-fact real HTTP…

Update: looks like I might have caught them in their testing phase. One of my sites has suddenly been downgraded back to SPDY, but one of the other sites is still HTTP/2

Check your own sites. Some bigger sites like HN haven't got it, but most of my smaller ones have suddenly gotten the blue HTTP/2 lightning bolt out of nowhere. I'm not on any of th…

Checked all my spam boxes on my various gmail accounts, seems nothing bad has happened with mine. At least they're nowhere near as bad as Outlook. I have one of my domains on their…

Important PSA for Skype Users: Open up "Internet Options" (yes, the ones in internet explorer), security tab, and add https://apps.skype.com to the "Restricted Sites" list. Skype w…

I'm hearing about Docker every other day, but when I look into it, I don't understand the purpose of it. I run many websites/applications that need isolation from each other on a s…

Seems to be a slight issue with your site on mobiles, somehow your button is overflowing onto a new line: https://imgrush.com/Qryn4-uvcegH.png (resolution is 1080x1920, using Firef…

Laravel is best learned from the documentation. Laravel 5 changed a lot, but most things from Laravel 4 still apply; I'd recommend looking at Dayle Rees' Code Bright along with the…

Last time I looked at Play, I took one look at Akka/Reactive Programming and knew there was no chance of me touching that. I might look at it again, this time staying far away from…

I've been wanting to try out some new server-side web frameworks to expand my knowledge (Currently use the Laravel PHP Framework, and ExpressJS), but I've been struggling to find a…

What purpose are you using them for? I tried Jekyll and found it just got in the way of me creating sites, so I found Middleman. Middleman is much easier than Jekyll if you want to…
