Re: Using PHP CodeSniffer With WordPress: Understanding Code Smells

Jordan Maslyn — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 10:57:26 -0000

"And that's where we're headed next. Specifically, we're going to use PHP CodeSniffer in order to help us avoid code smells in our code. Then, we're going to see how to incorporate the WordPress rules into PHP CodeSniffer and hook it up to our IDE of choice."

Sounds like that will be Part 2.

Re: How to Use Pantheon to Set Up and Maintain a Production-Safe WordPress Site

Our agency uses Pantheon and we really dig it. Some clients take some time to adjust to the new workflow, and you give up some freedoms/ability to use some plugins in the live environments - but overall, it makes our DevOps a lot more efficient!

Re: Good and Bad CSS Practices for Beginners

Using utility classes (e.g. .blue) is typically discouraged these days because it can really hamper modularity and future maintenance.

Using explicitly declared, repeated rules can be repetitive for development, but lend a ton of support to maintainability in the future. This along with a BEM type naming system (modular, avoids specificity issues) really help make projects more sustainable over the long run IMO.

Re: Some customers cant use Apples new iPhone Upgrade Program

For what it is worth, the Apple Upgrade program doesn't work with business plans. I also left without a phone today because of that.

Re: What Apple needs to learn from the MB Chronowing and Fitbit Surge smart watches

I believe that watches are prohibited from using the tern waterproof due to ISO 2281 so that is part of the issue when discussing water resistance.

"The International Organization for Standardization issued a standard for water resistant watches which also prohibits the term waterproof to be used with watches, which many countries have adopted."

Re: Magic 2015 For iPad Hits The App Store: But Will Hearthstone Fans Even Bother?

Jordan Maslyn — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 20:20:35 -0000

Magic still beats Hearthstone in my opinion until Hearthstone allows me to play stuff on my opponent's turn. Without that, the game feels much too simplistic.

Re: Spending time on your smartphone: How Apple and Google differ

This is a success metric when talking to developers (which is the target audience at WWDC) because it suggests that the user will spend more time interacting with the devs' apps.

For all apps, this might suggest increasing app loyalty. For ad-driven apps, this also means more impressions, and hopefully, higher revenue.

Food for thought, not that this perspective is perfectly correct, but the issue of saving babies' lives is not one wholly based on the legality of abortion: http://www.religiondispatch...

Re: Did Jesus Have a Wife?

Jordan Maslyn — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:23:52 -0000

I think God can do wonderful things through married people (speaking as a married guy), but from my understanding of Paul's letter to Corinth (1 Cor. 7) aren't we more capable of serving Christ in a single capacity?

I gather from that chapter that we are more able disciples when single, but that marriage is great for those of us who "burn with passion." That would leave me to believe that Christ would probably have not burned with passion, and thus been single as the role model of how we can best serve the Lord.

Just musing aloud here... I don't think it would ruin his divine nature if He was married, but I do think His alleged singleness is lauded by Paul as a strength.

Re: Netflix Update Brings Support For The iPhone 5’s 16:9 Screen

Forget if you guys already covered it or if I saw it somewhere else, but the new Netflix app can also be used as a remote for Netflix on a PS3 on the same WiFi network!
