I bought my iPad 5th gen years ago pretty much for reading PDFs. Sadly, it's barely even usable for that, even after a fresh device reset it's laggy and so slow. I'm not sure if it…

I've seen it said that newsfeeds/ads/etc. feed you what they think you will engage with, so you may want to wonder why you're seeing that type of content. I've never seen anything …

For "Advanced" Web Programming, I don't really feel like you're hitting the mark by sticking with PHP. Sure, it works, and will probably get the job done for most web projects any …

Exactly how I feel reading this thread, I had no idea PHP has changed so much.

I was curious what kind of range that might have, so I put what you said into chatgpt and asked what the range of a typical car or home stereo would be, and it gave me this (not su…

Epic/Cerner/SAP may be CRUD apps with clunky and outdated interfaces, but I wouldn't classify them as basic. Those applications are massive and have a ton of legacy code to connect…

That's cool, but if the 100 year old saw had been used regularly it would have required maintenance and sharpening to continue working well. Software also requires maintenance. I c…
