Yeah, I hear that argument a lot from people who don't understand how the service container works. Laravel is really quite easy to understand if you have a decent knowledge of PHP.…

For most of them, you just have to google the article's title and click the link from there.

This is one of those moments where good programming architecture and integration testing becomes obviously useful. We have a payment gateway interface and the transition to Stripe …

For the same reason most companies don't share trade secrets. - Stripe and Balanced ARE direct competitors, much more so than say Stripe and Braintree or Balanced and PayPal. Balan…

In what way is Balanced only for "a niche type of business"?

If I may reduce this to absurdity, I'd prefer to live in a mansion on Mars, so every conceivable income level is too low.

I accidentally downvoted you, but this is very clever.

Membership in a group doesn't preclude discrimination against that group. Total count: - 9 white males - 2 black males - 4 females - 1 unknown What strikes me as odd is that at a r…

Laravel has built-in auth support and a bunch of good Composer packages that can add more features. It's also got RESTful and resourceful controllers built in and a very awesome ro…

And there's also Laravel, which is partially built on Symfony and generally maps a little closer to what is possible in Rails.

He's trying to say that Google paid something tangible for something intangible. It's difficult to estimate the present value of a patent portfolio, ergo it's "intangible".

I think the point the OP is making is that if it were someone like Mark Zuckerberg, the protest wouldn't be futile. It would likely trigger a nationwide debate about the constituti…

I agree with you in principle about the necessity of needing something to do in the meantime, but a huge number of gas stations already have convenience stores attached to them. Pe…

I'm not sure Tesla's first-mover advantage here is really going to last. Ultimately, I think it's likely that existing gas stations will slowly start converting to electric chargin…

I was initially thinking about responding to antidaily (huh...didn't realize how relevant that username was until just now) in the same way, but I couldn't decide whether he was ag…
