  Update parent window after closing the window opened by window.open()

Imagine we have a webpage which has a text field to let user enter a date. Usually, we may create a calendar window to ask the user to pick one date from the calendar window, when the date is picked, the calendar window will close and the date picked will be put into the text field. This way involves the window.open() method in JavaScript, and we may think how the opened window knows its parent window and then updates the parent window. I give a simple demo on this.We have two pages, on is the p...

Online dating is pretty much the norm these days when it comes to looking for love, but it can't be denied there’s still a bit of a stigma attached and most certainly an air of mystery. After all, until you meet face-to-face there’s no real way of knowing who they are. It’s putting your faith in a stranger and, of course, that’s more often than not absolutely fine. Over the years though there have been a number of horror stories and it’s enough to put even the most...

  A simple example of git bisect command

git bisect is a very powerful command for finding out which commit is a bad commit when bug occurs.  The rationale behind this command is that it pin locates the bad commit by divide and conquer. It divides the commit history into two equal parts, then determines whether the bad commit is at the first half or at the other half. This process will continue until the bad commit is located. Here is a really good example created by bradleyboy, this is a simple git repository which demonstr...

  How long does the heuristic cache of the browser actually cache?

Heuristic cache Heuristic caching is the default behavior of browser caching (i.e., for responses without Cache-Control), which is not simply "not caching", but implicitly caching based on the so-called "heuristic cache". HTTP is designed to cache as much as possible, so even if Cache-Control is not specified, the response will be stored and reused if certain conditions are met. This is called heuristic caching. HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1024 Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2022 ...

  Dates in PHP and MySQL

I see a lot of people on forums and on my training courses asking about the best way (or any way) to manage dates stored in a MySQL database and used in PHP. Three options follow, but first the problem.PHP uses unix timestamps for all its date functionality. It has methods to convert these timestamps into pretty much any text format you could want but internally it uses the timestamp format. A timestamp is simply an integer. Specifically, it’s the number of seconds that have ela...
