@Medinoc no, no, no. You don't learn new technology in order to keep up. You learn very old technology like COBOL that still powers most of the banking software and nobody wants to port it because it works, but there's less and less people who could actually maintain it.

RE: Are brand name flashlights worth the price?
I know nothing about lamps so just some general considerations:
How often/long do you plan to use it? If this is a one-off thing there's no point in spending a lot of money.
Do you need it to reliably work in an emergency after years of sitting on a shelf?
How rugged does it need to be? Are you prone to dropping things or using them as a hammer?Since you mentioned attic climbing, it's suggest buying the kind that fits on your forehead to leave your hands free.

@Arancaytar said in Yet another ugly web app:
- The same script acts as the form page, the preview page and also does the database insertion.
- Which of the above actions is being performed is determined by the url argument "action" as in script.php?action=preview, script.php?action=send, etc.
We call that an SPA these days

RE: WTF Bites
See, JSON to spec only permits alphabetic ordering,
Since when?
© Ecma International 2017 3
6 Objects
An object structure is represented as a pair of curly bracket tokens surrounding zero or more name/value pairs.
A name is a string. A single colon token follows each name, separating the name from the value. A single
comma token separates a value from a following name. The JSON syntax does not impose any restrictions on
the strings used as names, does not require that name strings be unique, and does not assign any
significance to the ordering of name/value pairs. These are all semantic considerations that may be defined by
JSON processors or in specifications defining specific uses of JSON for data interchange -
