Gianpaolo Papa – bracketing the web!
#php has thousand of useful built-in functions. But it lacks in directory listing. Listing files by creation date can be an awful experience. How can be possible for such a great language like PHP to not have this kind of built-in parameters for scandir or readdir functions? They implemented SCANDIR_SORT_ASCENDING and SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING for alphabetical file ordering, but if we want date order we MUST use a custom not efficient array sorting method.Very bad.

Dear Apple…
Why Safari on iOS mobile devices is a so shitty product?
Why can’t we specify “width: 100%” on an image element (with auto height) without having to set a useless “min-width: 100%” for the most browsers?
Why this very serious bug?
Obviously the HTML I was developing had the following meta:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
But it seems to be not enough for Safari. So we have to write the following useless CSS code:
img {
width: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I hope this will be fixed soon, but I think they will not do it. The bug is very old and still there… Good job Apple!

Yesterday I was so close to definitely brick a brand new Cubot GT99… But fortunately I had previously installed a recovery manager (CWM) into my Android… So next steps were only to plug a new formatted SD in the slot and push there a new ROM from the computer… Great!
Today I just want to show you a simple, but powerful Javascript instruction for HTML5:
history.replaceState()
With this function you can change the address bar strings of your browser… Feel interested?
