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 sta…

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…

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 tea…

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 e…

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 h…

Yes! Windows got it right IMO.

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

Good point.

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 th…

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 MySQ…

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 painfu…

Very excited about this, I have the best memories of using Kaboom.

Yes! Take a Raspberry Pi Zero and connect it to these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-Holder-150mm-Wires-Leads/dp... https://www.amazon.co.uk/voltage-converter-Raspberry-batteri.…

You could try using https://infinitemac.org/ to emulate MacOS in browser. Then drag and drop one of these into it: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/5953-star-wars-pit-droid... h…

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 …

Happy to help dude. Enjoy! :)

Something useful, submitted with good intentions, will be received well, regardless of when you submit it.

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/D…

It would appear this is not the first bit of evidence suggesting that Alien Big Cats (ABCs) are a real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_big_cats#Proven_captur... I shou…

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 …
