@tjventurini Depends… PHPStorm for laravel and other framework projects. VS Code for small single file scripts, or small frameworkless projects and testing quick one offs. No reason you can’t use both right?
@ntha@tjventurini There are some pretty freekin’ awesome PHP developers out there using VS Code who are quite professional. And hey, there are some pretty freekin’ awesome developers out there using text editors too. The tool does not make the developer.
@chrastecky@tjventurini It is yes, but once setup works quite well with little additional configuration. I think I followed Caleb’s tutorial on how to setup VS Code, and it is fairly close to a real IDE. Not as good as PHPStorm, which is why I use it for smaller projects and one off scripts etc.
I see there’s a “hack” to use Google search without AI by appending udm=14 or something to the URL. Pretty sure this ”hack” is easier: Stop using Google.
Give DDG or Mojeek a try. The results may pleasantly surprise you!!
@webcodingcafe For the past year or so I’ve been using DDG, and sometimes mojeek. Occassionally if I am trying to find help with an odd app/php/linux issue, and DDG can’t find an answer I’ll rever to Google. TBH though, Google for me at least has sucked horribly in comparison. Bing white label or not, DDG has done better for me at least. Can’t speak to others experience of course :)
Back in ’94 I had a roomate for around 3 weeks. He was a busker and performed in various pubs around Montreal. He was, to this day, without a doubt the best classical jazz flamenco guitarist I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. He would often play so intensly that he would pass/grey-out. I knew him simply as “Yanni” or “Yanny”. He played as cutaway 6 string classical guitar. He left while I was travelling and I never saw or heard from him again. (1/2)
A few time while I noodled around on my six string he would come and sit and teach me some simple to play but great sounding little riffs and chord progressions.
My Friday ask, if anyone know him, or has any idea where he is, I’d love to see what he’s up to today, in the hopes he is still playing. Please retoot/share.
@kev Ah, okey. So I’ve been doing cycling at night (all we had room for at home, would love a small home gym, I’m not a fan of public gyms, but that is another story), and then find it takes me forever to sleep and my sleep is horrible on those nights. Not organized enough to get up and do this in morning… too busy sipping coffee on the back deck and watching the sun rise. Life choices I guess.
Another large language model scraper blocked. This graph is from a site which runs a tool generating answers for people doing important research work. The AI scraper sent hundreds of thousands of lookup requests evading rate limits by using about a thousand IPs and pinned multiple webservers at 100% CPU (graph from one attached). This is a massive waste of electricity to train a hallucination machine.
@beasts These are essentially DoS attacks at this point. If we didn’t block the crazy intense traffic from these, we’d have to upgrade to larger VMs at our expense. Takes time to block also, which can be in the middle of the night sometimes and then apply blocks to all our VMs. Not fun. Would like to hear any legal voices opinions on this, if they are around.
