Search for users with “JetBrains” in the name, and you get a ton of results, all of which are bots supposedly reposting content from Twitter…I mean X.

I’m thinking about blocking these cross-posting servers from my personal account. They’re just spamming my user search results.

@ramsey did you flush all the caches after blocking? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the blocks were applied on the way into the caches, which @d0n recently learned are absurdly long lived.

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey @d0n the server side ones. Exact location varies by what software your instance uses… but my understanding is that the most common / generally encouraged mastodon setup involves a very long lived cache of queries to other servers so that every instance doesn’t keep asking every other instance things like “have any users named “JetBrains”?” Over and over.

TIL that in symfony crawler 6.1+ (which I use for some functional tests), there is a split in how it behaves for HTML4 vs HTML5 content - specifically around checkboxes.

I had a test that was calling $crawler->filter('input[name=myCheckbox]')->attr('checked') to determine if a checkbox was checked. Returns 'checked' in HTML4, but empty string in HTML5.

Had to change my test to use $crawler->filter('input[name=myCheckbox]:checked')->count() and assert it was 1.

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@kboyd o_O ?! Because it could be checked more than once in 5, but not 4? Or maybe there could be several that match the selector? In which case I’d expect the new code to also work on 4…. I hope. Otherwise that makes no sense.

TIL what happens when you inadvertently cause an infinite loop in a compiled C program.

    Trying something retro. May have finally found a use for “camp mode” since it sure as hell isn’t useful for camping.

    @kevbob indeed it is. 70th season the sign says.

    @kevbob place is packed tonight. 10 minutes to show time and there’s a car still circling trying to find a spot. We got here at 7 and still didn’t get prime space. And they just announced it looks like tonight is the 6th sell out in a row.

    @kevbob I wandered around before hand, after we finished the takeout we brought for dinner. There were a lot of folks with card games going, or playing lawn or beach games, as well as all kinds of tailgate style picnics, kicking back and reading, or watching stuff on a phone/tablet. Also a couple of ladies who were knitting.

    I'm sure a number of folks on this instance have heard of The PHP League (aka The League of Extraordinary Packages) https://thephpleague.com/

    But tell me - which packages do you use (or that you've used in the past)? What do you like about them?

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @kboyd I like that each package does one thing only. They aren’t trying to be an impenetrable combo package of every tool in the kitchen. It’s like the old unix tool mentality: do one thing, do it well.

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @kboyd wow. Just read the list of league packages and it’s way longer than I remember it being.

    cabbey,

    @kevbob I didn’t think it would be… but with all the tooling changes it could have. In which case I’d reach out to the people team to get that fixed. :)

    oh this is lovely. there's a tool I need to use which has a gbatemp page, with a separate wiki page, when has a link to a source on github.
    the source on github has no code in it.

    what's the fucking point?

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @foone @SteveSyfuhs the other fun one is forks of the “official repo” which actually have all the code, but they “haven’t reached a release milestone yet”.

    Hi folks! This is tough to post. I was laid off just shy of 18 wks ago. The lack of movement on that front is bad. 0 response to scores of CVs sent & only 3 sets of interviews, those being direct referrals. Looking for things in anti-fraud space, as well as what I have always done well- deep customer support, things I've done for 25ish years. LinkedIn below, if you have direct leads you can refer me to, I would be so grateful.

    Current fediverse user count prediction: 14MM users in early-mid August. Yes, I'm assuming user growth will slow drastically because the Twitter rate limits are gone.

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @ian @ramsey another theory, which I put some belief in, is that they finally realized the way they did the rate limits is what caused it to ddos itself, and that it was cheaper to drop the limits than it was to keep ddosing themselves.

    @kevbob need to include backend devs who think they can write a regexp that “validates” addresses. Double the time if they do so without reading the relevant RFCs.

    @ramsey @hbuchel @ldpm yeah, it’s replaced Sierra Mist (aka Mist Twist) pretty much everywhere out here and it is way better than Mist was imho. Certainly better than Sprite (way sweeter) or 7-up (more watery).
