Exploring Concurrent Access Handling
In this article, I’ll discuss concurrent access and how to manage it using PHP and MySQL. Imagine you have a process that takes some time to complete. To prevent HTTP requests from timing out, you decide to create a "tasks" table where you insert jobs to be processed asynchronously.

Everyone knows your location: tracking myself down through in-app ads

Recently I read about a massive geolocation data leak from Gravy Analytics, which exposed more than 2000 apps, both in AppStore and Google Play, that secretly collect geolocation data without user consent. Oftentimes, even without developers` knowledge.
I looked into the list (link here) and found at least 3 apps I have installed on my iPhone. Take a look for yourself!
This made me come up with an idea to track myself down externally, e.g. to buy my geolocation data leaked by some application.

Off the Beaten Path to Upgrade Symfony 2.8 to 7.2 | Tomas Votruba

Off the Beaten Path to Upgrade Symfony 2.8 to 7.2 | Tomas Votruba
There are two types of upgrades. One follows only `UPGRADE.md` files on every release, replacing what has been removed with new alternatives. It works, and we could say that the codebase will be "up-to-date."
The other upgrade doesn't stop at the required minimum but **makes use of all modern features the framework provides**. It will be faster, easier to understand, and easier to upgrade to the next version. I [wrote a post](/blog/two-kinds-of-legacy-code-upgrade) that explains why the latter is better.
There are no sources about Symfony upgrades spanning multiple major versions—time to fix that.
