The Pub / XenForo wins
Nightwish « on February 28th, 2013, 07:39 PM »
Probably off-topic here, but imho still worth to mention:

http://gracelaw.com/NewsXF.html

In short words, XenForo has apparently won the battle. The case has been dismissed after the parties reached a confidential settlement. The public will most likely never learn about the details of the settlement, but the statement by gracelaw implies that Xf will remain an independent entity and IB has no further way to harm their business.

The case was dismissed with prejudice, basically meaning it's over. Once and forever.

These are bad days for IB/vB. First, they lost the Wikitravel case, then came the disaster with vB going "gold" (imho, it's not even iron in its current state :) ) and now this.

Looks like it indeed...
The scrollbar, however, looks a little strange! Isn't there a way to have a normal one...?
Well, not really. The scroll bar is actually a combination of a scroll + annotation bar and looks like a custom control. It's indeed a bit weird, but I rarely use scroll bars anyway.

PhpStorm is using Swing (unlike Eclipse) so it'll never look 100% like a native Windows application.

Does it always have a frame around the code window?
Ultimately I ditched n++ just for that... :^^;:
What do you mean with "frame around the code window"?

You can drag code tabs out of the main window onto the desktop and make them top level windows as you wish. See attached screen shots - first is the complete IDE (it's actually very customizable, all the panels can be set to auto-hide so they'll go away when you don't need them) and the second one is an additional top level window holding just 2 code tabs.

PhpStorm by JetBrains is worth a look.

Java developers might know JetBrains since they also offer one of the best Java IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA).

Pros:
  • Probably the best PHP/JavaScript editor you can find. Code completion, refactoring, a code inspection that actually makes sense and can be helpful and much more. It's hard to find a missing feature...
  • seamless SVN, Mercurial and Git integration.
  • A really good debugger, probably the best out there
  • Very solid. It builds on the same technology that powers IDEA for about 10 years - so the base is a very mature product.
More here: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/features/index.html

Cons:

Well, it's written in Java and may come with the known penalties (significant memory footprint, can be a bit slow on a not-so-highend system), but that's really the only possible disadvantage I've found so far.

It's a commercial product with a free trial and if you're a member of an active PHP open source project, you can apply for a free Open Source license - it's a full license without any restrictions other than you can only use it for work on Open Source projects.

What do you think...?
A session variable is probably the best way to store such short lived objects that have no business in the database. Cookie would probably work equally well, but with all the madness about cookies, it's probably best to avoid them when possible :)

Besides, how often do sessions expire? Shouldn't be a problem to run the detection code every 15 minutes (or so).

P.S. Just noticed. I can like my own posts. Intentional behavior?
