It’s not a very disputed topic that you should backup your database, and further test your backups. What is a little less discussed, at least for Postgres, is the types of backups that exist. Within Postgres there are two forms of backups and understanding them is a useful foundation for anyone working with Postgres. The two backup types are Physical: which consist of the actual bytes on disk, Logical: which is a more portable format. L....

Less Twitter So I started journaling my quick thoughts basically at the beginning of 2016 and only managed to post them to my blog once. So it goes, I guess. I have a backlog of them, most of which I'll just ignore and I'll post the highlights below. With my twitter feed becoming unpleasant due to so much Trump noise, I've reduced my use a twitter a lot. I've somewhat switched to reddit which is better organized into narrow topics. Inste....

A toast view is a small, short-lived popup provides a small bite of information (see what I did there?) to the user. It’s an Android paradigm, but if you’re working on an iOS app that has an Android component, the chances are high that you have been or will be asked to implement one at some point. So you might as well learn how to make one simply without having to pull in a 3rd-party dependency, right? Well, let’s get started then. I’ll f....

When my beloved Google Reader was discontinued in 2013, I stopped regularly checking RSS feeds. Apparently, I am not alone . It seems like there’s a new article every month arguing either that RSS is dead or RSS is not dead yet . Maybe RSS will stick around to serve as a cross-site communication backbone, but I don’t think anyone will refute that RSS feeds are declining in consumer use. Facebook, Twitter, and other aggregators are where....

When you’re hacking on some new code, you might end up with old function aliases after renaming a function. H....

This means that we can do some heavy lifting here because our response time is not affected. The client gets the response quickly and our processing will occur afterwards. The Symfony SwiftMailer bundle does this by default, so we should be ok with emails, but my latest project need....

People seem to enjoy talking about programming methodologies. They give them cute names, like eXtreme programming , Agile , and Scrum ; run conferences and build communities around them; write books that describe how to use them in excruciating detail; and manifestos that lay out their philosophy.
