"You probably know that a user should only see his orders, his messages and so on, but should never see others’ data. But it probably happened you forgot at some point to add this little WHERE condition that restricts the user to what he should see, in a Symfony param converter for instance.

I’m going to introduce an elegant and automatic solution to never forget these conditions in all of your queries, whatever the table (i.e. the Doctrine entity), whatever the page in your Symfony application."

"PHP cache slam defense using (memcached) semaphore to prevent dogpile effect (aka clobbering updates, stampending herd or Slashdot effect).

Problem: too many requests hit your website at the same time to regenerate same content slamming your database. It might happen after the cache was expired.

Solution: first request generates new content while all the subsequent requests get (stale) content from cache until it's refreshed by the first request."

"The Payment Tag makes it even easier to integrate Stripe directly into your website.

It'll take care of building credit card inputs, validation, error handling, and sending the encrypted card number securely to Stripe."

"less +F works exactly like tail -f, with more:

Simply press ctrl+c to switch to editing model, so you can scroll backward and using any more/vi command, such as /pattern to search Press shift+f again to switch back to tail model"

"So I’m going to share ten of my favorite tips and tricks with you guys. Ready?

Run Docker on a VPS for extra speed Bind mount the docker socket on docker run Use containers as highly disposable dev environments bash is your friend Insta-nyan Edit /etc/hosts/ with the boot2docker IP address on OSX docker inspect -f voodoo Super easy terminals in-browser with wetty nsenter

"It is a small tool allowing to enter into namespaces. Technically, it can enter existing namespaces, or spawn a process into a new set of namespaces. "What are those namespaces you're blabbering about?" We are talking about container namespaces.

nsenter can do many useful things, but the main reason why I'm so excited about it is because it lets you enter into a Docker container."

"Cool, it seems to work. Pretty easy, right?

Not so fast.

You just built a container which contains a minimal operating system, and which only runs your app. But the operating system inside the container is not configured correctly. A proper Unix system should run all kinds of important system services. You're not running them, you're only running your app."

"Flaka is a plugin for Ant providing

An Expression language allowing access to data objects Conditional and repetitive control structures like when, unless, while, for, choose, switch .. Exception handling Additional tasks, types and macros .. What Flaka is not:

No new syntax, it's still XML It's still Ant."

"I'm happy to announce the availability of Outbrain's Orchestrator: MySQL replication management & visualization tool.

Orchestrator reads your replication topologies (give it one server - be it master or slave - in each topology, and it will reveal the rest). It keeps a state of this topology. It can continuously poll your servers to get an up to date topology map. It visualizes the topology in a clear and slick D3 tree. It allows you to modify your topology; move slaves around. You can use the command line variation, the JSON API, or you can use the web interface."
