Mine was generated by gravitar. Anyway it just looked like a X type shape to me.

That's exactly what I expected a closet anti-semite to say!

Actually gravatar is usually pretty good at generating icons which don't look like swastikas. They're certainly better than any open source option I've seen yet, at least for PHP.

You need it to be PHP because you want to run it as a web page? Doing this is BASH would be pretty easy, too.

Yeah I need it so my mFi controller can pull it as a webpage.

So basically you need to accept input, evaluate the input based on criteria, and then execute the corresponding script(s) based on that input?

By "hipster cred" I think that they mean it is an overpriced gimmick that only someone completely driven by marketing would use.

I've been working with PHP 7, it's pretty impressive so far, I really love the type hinting / pseudo-static typing -- it's something I've wanted for PHP for over a decade. There are missing extensions which haven't been ported and most importantly, xdebug, doesn't look like it'll be ported for a while, as on github I noticed the primary contributors were complaining that it'd be "too hard" to do it. In the mean time I created a drop in replacement which works somewhat OK:

Code is under MIT/X11, because unlike Stallman, I don't believe in forcing you to let me see your code, in other words, I've showed you mine, you need not show me yours 😉

Postgres has one as well http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/doku.php

I wish our site could respond to apple watches with a strong jolt of electricity.

Funnily I think @scottalanmiller and I both made a similar post in a similar conversation on SW months ago. There seems to often be interest in what it is or who is using it rather than actually using it, for the most part 🙂

If you are interested in learning more about NoSQL, I highly recommend this book (and highly recommend buying it directly from the awesome publisher....)

Seven Databases in Seven Weeks

Thanks! It looks like this is my next book to buy!

Not a web developer but, if I can't right click on the links on your site and either copy them or click open in new tab. I consider your website to be poorly developed.

I agree with that, that was what I was talking about with pushState and people using onclick for navigation. I've always hated that, and hilarious I've even seen people do things like:

<a href="#" onclick="document.location='/otherpage.html'">click here</a>

And I think, seriously?! SERIOUSLY!?

Keep in mind though, I think most programmers are terrible, especially web developers.

More naked people? Or less naked people?

More people who are less naked.

Fewer people who are more clothed.

I think the black one looked better anway the line were more thought out and looked better than the chrome one. The chrome one just has a poor design.

I normally are too ADHD to read stuff like that but wow! Great read!

Great IDEs

PhpStorm if you use PHP RubyMine if you use Ruby If you do JS/node.js WebStorm

Everything else sucks, period, yes especially Eclipse and that other one nobody cares about and Notepadd++ is a highlighter, not an IDE, it doesn't do proper syntax checking, hints, or or anything, nor does that Sy..whatever for OS X.
