Looking at the reviews for GitHub CoPilot integration with PHPStorm. Seeing lots of reviews that it pales in comparison to the VSCode plugin.

I won't change IDEs.

So:

1. Is it worth buying copilot?

2. is there another AI coding tool that works better with PHPStorm?

Dump truck hit a hydro pole outside. It’s snapped but hasn’t fallen over yet.

Looks like it will be an evening without power.

I need to set up Wi-Fi in a small business, but not allow any streaming services. Ideally, with the ability to turn off guest Wi-Fi after hours so the residential units don't use it all evening.

The router that comes with the Internet service sucks, as they all do.

Hive mind: What hardware would you recommend?

So what’s a good alternative Zoom? My team (engineering) was asking about using Slack huddles for our calls, which might be ok. But what to use client facing ?

I don’t want to use MS Teams or Google Whatsveritscallednow.

Having a moment of annoyance with Mastodon. I know WordCamp Atlanta is going on today, and yet I can find nobody posting about it. Searched on Nitter and there are lots of posts. Leaving Twitter/X has disconnected me from an important professional community.

For those who follow me from one of the more WordPress focused instances, are there good WordCamp posts in your local feeds ?

I can never recall how to update the "Tested Up To" version in WordPress plugins since it's slightly different than tagging a new version.

Stumbled on this handy article by @salcode that has it nicely documented

Thanks Sal 👏

My plugins are now tested on WordPress 6.4.0!

Very quiet Halloween in our neighbourhood tonight. Had no idea what to expect (first year here) but it’s like 10% or less than what I used to get. Gonna have lots of leftover treats.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm weird because I REALLY ENJOY refactoring and cleaning up code. Sometimes more than writing new features.

CBC Gem experience on the Roku:

• I’ve had to login to the app every day.

• When going to the activate dot cbc dot ca domain I’ve had to do the login & activate proces twice (every time). The first time after entering the device code I just get kicked back to a login screen.

Mildly annoyed.

Best way to travel, in my opinion. Although it seems to have become more expensive in recent years! #train #travel #viarail #teamoffsite

I swear, the number of times I've typed

brew services mariadb stop
instead of
brew services stop mariadb

Eventually I'll get it right on the first try. Maybe.

Hey #toronto. I’ve seen these heart shaped lights in many windows around the city. What’s their significance ? 💚💛💙💜❤️

Today I learned about the term "Rageclick". Thanks #PostHog.

Rage clicks are when a user repeatedly clicks on an element on the page. It can be an indicator of frustration.

Winter tires are on!

We have a mobile mechanic come over and do both cars right in the driveway. It sure beats doing it myself, or loading the tires in and out of the car waiting at a garage to have it done.

Just adjusted caching settings on my site. Hopefully this will fix the issue of Mastodon bringing down my site (RAM at 100%) a post gets linked to.
