When I listened to DJ Ötzi's "Ein Stern (...der deinen Namen trägt)", I fell in love with his music immediately and irreversibly. If I had to say what underlies this performer's rapid rise in popularity, it is unquestionably the "catchiness" of his songs - you listen once and then hum it to yourself all evening.
This time, about a study in a house or apartment - where, in my view, the longest stretches of time are spent. At least definitely in our home. :) Before we tackled the renovation and fitting out of the study a couple of years ago, we formulated a few criteria that were important to both of us.
In the previous article I compiled, from my perspective, the most classic myths and truths about the performance of PHP functions and language constructs that I have heard or seen so far. This article will cover several examples with constructs where the performance (or lack thereof) is not always obvious. For example, did you know that incrementing a local variable inside a function will be ~2x faster than a global one?
Performance, code readability, code logic and similar are the cornerstones between which one must constantly navigate when building a larger or smaller PHP project. I'll start by saying that any measurement is relative and depends greatly on both the environment and the PHP version.
It has been observed that require_once is up to 4 times slower than require. Various figures and measurements can be found on Google, sometimes contradictory. Including a file multiple times is inherently not good, as the file is read and the code within it is parsed and executed.
How much do we know about pop musicians from other European countries - Serbian, Croatian, Czech, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, or even Lithuanian and Estonian? When you start looking and listening around more, a good song or singer can be a genuine discovery. That is how I came across some poignant songs from the repertoire of Serbian singer Željko Joksimović. I recommend listening!
My interest in this science or pseudoscience (whichever you prefer) was sparked by a programme on the television channel "24ТЕХНО", where an English phrenologist talked about the history of the theory and briefly introduced its essence. In any case, it is one of the ways for a person to get to know themselves and others, and to understand their predisposition towards one thing or another.
Browsing around YouTube I accidentally came across footage from the short film series The Hire - intrigued, I downloaded the whole series via Torrent. Truly watchable pieces. They are in fact a total of 8 short films, commissioned by BMW in 2001 and 2002 to showcase the advantages of BMW on any road surface, in any corner of the world, and in any extreme situation.
It is often said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. To make this mirror expressive and attention-catching, women have for years cultivated the art of its visual enhancement. This time we shall look at how to make eyes even more attractive using decorative cosmetics, while keeping in mind what nature has given us - eye colour. Examples for the three most common basic eye shades: brown, blue and green.
