Almost all of the relevant code is in wp-content/db.php. It's using Wordpress's hook that lets you use custom code to connect to the database. The code is rewriting MySQL flavored SQL into SQLite flavored SQL which is impressive but potentially flaky. I'd want to see how well it handles SQL from popular plugins before I'd start building a website using this.

I recently deployed a web app on render.com and it looks it fits the description. I just told it to set up a PostgreSQL database, pointed it at my git repo and told it how to build/run the static site, web server, and cron job. It was pretty simple, it's got great features like logs, a console, and monitoring. The price is reasonable too.

Do you think this technique can be adapter for integration testing? So you wouldn't need a running PostgreSQL server to run tests that connect to a PostgreSQL database, or maybe it would make tests easier to run in parallel by using different SQLite files.

Is Namecheap a scammy registrar?

I've been an independent software developer for the past 3 or 4 years and I took a path that can be done by good software developer who is good at talking to clients. Talent agencies like Toptal and A.team are great to get started since you don't need to find customers. You can make $150 or more per hour which makes for a pretty comfortable living. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you'd like more specific advice or just to chat.

I've had a lot of success switching to freelancing by using Toptal and ATeam. You can go full time right away and you don't need to find clients. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you'd like to chat.

They couldn't leave because they had no money to pay for anything outside the company town.

What's the name of the open source version? It sounds interesting.

Positive Train Control is the train safety technology at issue here. It isn't ready. The "attempt at crippling the economy" is to shut down instead of operating in violation of the regulation.

The railroad companies claim to have spent billions on implementation but it's not available yet. As the article says, they're not allowed to collaborate or share implementation costs because of trust regulations. Also keep in mind the scale of the deployment. There's hundreds of thousands of cars on the track today, and putting something on each car isn't something that takes an afternoon.

The government can't make it happen by creating a regulation and a deadline.

edit: Fixed definition of PTC.

The website has PHP and curl examples.

I would love to see React added to mobile app frameworks like Apache Cordova.

People who aren't extremely familiar with how the Linux init system works and whose job doesn't include keeping the servers stable don't see why the neckbeards are up in arms about systemd, but there's good reason. Many peoples' jobs depends on making sure the servers are working, and knowing how the servers work is a big part of their job (and sanity). In its current incarnation, systemd changes the fundamentals of how servers work without much increase in features - large risk and little reward.
