TIL: For an ancient branch/PR, rebase is way better than merge for getting things up to date.

@kboyd oh yeah. Whole heartedly agree.

After observing a Darmok conversation at work, I wondered what other scifi examples there might be of odd and interesting speech patterns.

So I mashed two together:

@ramsey @kboyd it was quite the thread. Full of all kinds of different forms of communication. Memes, stories, allegories, emoji, prose (“old people talk” as I’m sure the kids would call it.)

@georgetakei I wonder if a stunt like this could be considered grounds to remand to custody.

What’s the oldest domain name that you personally own? Mine is littlehart.net, which I believe I registered sometime in 1998

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@grmpyprogrammer huh whois says I initially registered cabbey.net on 9 July 2001... but I thought I had it well before then as I remember using it for class names in java in university, which would have been late 90s. Maybe I was just squatting on the package name?

Ever since installing Jamf on my MacBook Pro, I’ve been having a bunch of weird issues with random freezes and network connectivity issues and programs taking too long to load. This weekend, I’ve had Finder crash several times, and it wouldn’t restart. The system error reporting dialog mentions “watchdogd kernel panic.”

This is several years old, but a lot of it sounds like what I’m experiencing: https://sigpipe.macromates.com/2020/macos-catalina-slow-by-design/

Anyone familiar with this?

@ramsey there was a module on it that we disabled to solve a bunch of performance issues on developer machines. Unfortunately the guy that would know what exactly it was is off on paternity leave. I’ll poke around in my slack dm history with him to see if I can find it tomorrow, but the general gist was that it was running every file access through a scanning process of some sort.

@kboyd @alessandrolai I have a couple in a feature dev branch at work. Gotta admit they’re pretty damn nice to code with, way better than const ints. Only gripe I have so far is that I can’t put them into log messages or context or even simple echos without doing some kind of special one off weirdo function on it and calling that. One of the few places I want a $@&*^£ magic __toString() but we can’t have it. :(

@alessandrolai @kboyd nope php spews an error. https://3v4l.org/4YUXC#v8.2.10

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@alessandrolai @kboyd yeah. I just think that restriction was implemented a little too tightly. :( non static or const contexts got the short end of that deal imho, but I dunno what kind of gymnastics the internals would require to allow what I want. And I worked around it with a custom instance method that I needed for other purposes anyway. 🤷

@kboyd sounds like a context processor. Could also handle casting bools as ‘T’ or ‘F’ instead of ‘1’ and ‘’.

Me: loads up a sprint worth of work

Also me: has it all ready for review by EOD on sprint day 1

Hmm.

That's an unusual level of productivity for me - especially while suffering from a multiweek pain in one arm, and a sore wrist on the other.

Maybe I should take more long weekend road trips.

    @kissane @pgroce yeah, I went through seven different mobile phone clients recently and only one that wasn’t a paid monthly subscription actually rendered the full options, and it had so many other issues as to be effectively unusable. :(

    People are complaining that Trump’s bond was only $200K, and that he could easily wind up fleeing justice.

    @kboyd @brianfenton well, Canadians might not, but I’ve certainly heard it said that way by others. Much like “Chicago, USA”.

    cabbey,

    @kboyd @brianfenton haha. Brain fart there when I picked an example. But point remains, I do see “state, US” from folks that aren’t super familiar with the geography.

    Maybe I underestimated how many people use the "meaningful nod in lieu of paying for more dialogue" TV trope in real life, and that's what's behind the return to office pushes?

    @seldo I wonder if some GeoIP database got really confused this weekend. I’ve gotten presented with all sort of random language choices today. The best is maybe MSN picking Dutch (I think) and covering the whole viewport week th a cookie banner I can’t read and options I don’t understand before I can get to the language controls.

    Is there an annotation I can add to a class stub that will tell that a readonly property is most certainly set in the constructor, so that PhpStorm quits complaining that “Typed property ‘foobar’ might be uninitialized?”

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @ramsey if I recall correctly we solved this by making the variable not nullable at declaration. There’s also the finally hack if exceptions are why it appears that it may be unset.
