I cannot relate to this problem. The namespace is rarely a single "word". If you [follow PSR-4](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/), you will create namespaces based on the directory structure - thus there would be no collisions possible.


The naming does not help at all, they could've just called it "The window to Windows", since it's mostly a tool to connect to a Windows device ("PC", in their terms) from a Mac.

I wish they offered a Windows->Mac connector, as smooth and seamless as RDC (Windows->Windows). RDC is such a great and unbeatable solution, but it only works properly for Windows to Windows connections (Linux is doable, but experience is not great, not even close to native).

But they're clearly trying to get more Windows licenses sold, so they have no reason to support people doing work on other OSes.


I use RDP to connect from remmina to a Windows to run a 3d rendering application and after some tweaks it is near native to me. Although this one is a cheat since the Windows machine is a VM so literal best case latency and bandwidth.

I turned off all compression of the RDP which required some registry entry change. But I was kind of surprised.

I only did this because I needed GPU passthrough and couldn't get other mirroring techniques to work well with virt-manager.


Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager [1] has a reverse engineered Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) implementation that works fantastically. (Free SKU is enough.) No affiliation.

As long as it's not February 29th.


Why should PM2 not be used?


I would not call it an achievement, per se, but my repository Timelined(https://github.com/andriussev/timelined) gained over 400 stars. Haven't really had a repository that had stars before.

I have yet to determine how I become a multi-billionaire from this achievement :)


Hey! Doing these CSS "hacks" is usually costly (regarding the size of the file) but I suppose you're correct and I'll see what I can do.


Would love to see VueJS in that test. Considering it has over 12 thousand stars on Github it does seem much more credible than some other libraries used in the test.

The Github link for the tests does not include the node requirements which makes it hard to do the tests myself.


Regarding the design part: I usually find a couple of landing pages that I like and create something similar with the colors I prefer. Or buy one from ThemeForest.

Back-end: Whatever I prefer at the time. If you're building a project with RoR, it does not mean that the landing page has to be done with that. A simple PHP/NodeJS app works great since it can be much faster to build.

All in all, I try not to spend too much time on the landing page. Usually, more time is spent figuring out what's best to show on the page itself than building it.


The docs do seem to be a little lacking - it's mostly technical stuff about methods and might not be what the developer is looking for. Looking at documentations from Laravel, SailsJS, even Django, it's easier to get the point of what you're expected to do to get X done.

Other notes on the documentation:

* Very little info on how the templates (views) work. Can I use a different engine for them? No info about that.

* (just as an example of many) I've noticed that a scheduler is implemented and that it's mentioned in the site. It is also noted on github that there's no info on the scheduler yet. So, why would you include the features that no one will be able to use unless they're willing to get into the source code of Nodal itself?

I see that the project has been going for almost a year now and it looks like it's going a great direction. Just needs a more user friendly documentation to be fully usable, I'd say.


I still have so much work to do to ensure there's great community support. I've been too cautious to release software in the past and over-optimized for the wrong things. My goal is to get this out in the wild so I can learn what people are most interested in, and optimize from there. Everything will be covered soon!


I use DBeaver daily and it is probably not the best tool in the lot (well, it probably is if we're only looking at free ones) but I have become quite accustomed to it.

That said, I use PHPStorm and maybe DataGrip will complement the knowledge of JetBrains IDEs.

I'll give it at least a few hours of SQL work and get back.

EDIT: Well, apparently I won't have a couple of hours fiddling with the tool considering that it does not really work as I expect it to.

* Added a MySQL connection, can't seem to be able to work with multiple databases unless I create multiple data sources. That's weird.

* Selecting a specific DB (what I don't really want to do) still shows me the wrong table list from a different DB. 'Forget Schemas' does not work. Weirdly enough, I can query the DB I selected, it just won't resolve the table names (and do autocomplete).

Though, it's probably just me having this problem since there's no way this would go through the testing phase.

EDIT2: The price is also way too much in my opinion. It basically costs as much as PHPStorm. Not sure why you would by DataGrip instead of Navicat.


+1 for DBeaver

I've started using it only recently and I'm really pleased with it. I am using Oracle and Postgres constantly, and this was the first tool that worked really nice with both out of the box.

That said, it could use some more features, but all in all, very nice tool.

I've also tried OxDBE, but got feeling that it was not finished at all. Half of stuff was really annoying to use. I was never sure what was commited and what not. Adding columns to table worked sometimes, and sometimes it would just hang. In the end I was writing SQL by hand for even the trivial tasks. Not something I need IDE for. Hopefully they can improve it in the future, because other products from JetBrains are great.

Uhm for Navicat you need to buy a different license for each database and operating system you use. Where I work we use both SQL Server and MySQL and I use three different computers with different operating systems. JetBrains terms are much friendlier.


Navicat the Premium[1] edition includes all the databases. But to your point, you still have to pay separately for each operating system, and paying $599 for a single platform is expensive.

That being said, I've tried a dozen SQL utilities and the only one that is fast and responsive for large tables is Navicat. The other utils such as RazorSQL, SQLMaestro, Firefox XUL plugins, NET LINQPad, etc are memory hogs and very slow for browsing tables with 100,000+ rows. I haven't tried JetBrains yet but the 3 others that were written in Java and used JDBC were very slow so I wouldn't be surprised if DataGrip is slower than Navicat.

If one is mainly using SQL frontend tools to help with syntax completion to speed up typing in commands (ALTER TABLE, SELECT INNER JOIN, etc), any of those utilities will work fine. But if you happen to need the tool to provide a responsive "Excel-like datagrid" for browsing big tables, my experience has found that Navicat is unmatched.

Thanks for mentioning DBeaver, I didn't knew it.

Quite good for generating ER diagrams, it seems.


If you're using phpstorm, then you already have all the features of DataGrip.


Thank you very much for DBeaver, I had never heard of it. It works great!
