I, um, have no idea how to interpret this. Is it safe to use 8.2 for the upcoming v2 of this library, or should I use 8.1? It looks like 8.2 usage used to be >50% of cases, but... it's gone DOWN dramatically? What?

A pet peeve of mine is "reinventing something old with a new name and insisting the new name is the only valid name."

The latest: Anyone who calls it a "DTO" instead of "product type", you're on notice.

It occurs to me, I wrote this 5 years ago. I've been writing #PHP for 25 years now, give or take a week. That's a quarter of a century. Kinda makes a guy think...

When you say what a word "means", what do you mean by "mean?" It's actually not a trivial question.

I have a series of DVD-Rs from my dad. He says he recorded movies to them several years ago. Now they won't play in anything but the DVD player where they were created.

Sure enough, stick it into my laptop, it says it's blank.

What are my options here to extract data from it and into a video file? (Either Mac or Linux tooling available, Linux preferred.)

Oh HELL yes!

Magic in code/APis is not bad. Excessive magic is bad.

Magic (aka, "things happen automatically") should be limited, self-evident, transparent, and discoverable. But not verboten.

I hate .

I love containers, but the entire Docker ecosystem is a trainwreck.

Couldn't a better tool have won? Please?

I upgraded my home server's RAID array, and took copious notes along the way to help future me. May they be helpful to present-you, too.

I get irrationally angry when a support call center or chat system asks you to provide your name/ID/etc before connecting you to a person, and then the person always asks for that info again.

Like, it's right there. This is 101 level application coordination. Does the org have absolutely 0 designers? Are the designers all 4 years old? Are the engineers all 6? Seriously, how is such a basic design fail so prevalent? Some places look up my acct by the phone I call from, it's possible to do!

Remember: Every mile of land lost by #Ukraine this month to Russian invaders is the direct result of #GOP intransigence and refusal to stand by our allies just so they could make Biden look bad.

Every Republican legislator is a threat to national security. Every. Single. One. Treat them as such.

If your return value is Thingie|Array of Thingie|Collection object of Thingie, please stop designing APIs because your understanding of them is 1st grade at best and you are doing active harm to anyone who uses your code.

No, there are no exceptions to this rule.

9 says to stop using assertObjectHasAttribute() in favor of assertObjectHasProperty(). But the latter doesn't exist in PHPUnit 9, only in PHPUnit 10.

Am I missing something obvious? Because that's not how deprecation warnings are supposed to work...

I have so many thoughts.

  1. Good that IDF coordinating an Evac. Few countries would.
  2. WTF? How is a residential neighborhood a military target?
  3. If really is embedded there, it's on Hamas for using human shields.
  4. If so, needs to be a lot more transparent about what they know to justify their actions.
  5. Fuck war. Just... fuck war.

Teacher: Replace any validation a function does on its inputs with more robust types instead. Eliminate all conditionals that could be types instead.

Student: But doesn't that just push the validation problem up a level?

Teacher: Exactly. Now do it again. And keep doing it until you run out of upper levels.

Student: But now I'm just parsing input into an object as soon as I get it. There's nothing for other code to even do.

And the Student was enlightened.

Unsurprisingly, I completely agree with this post from Sebastian Dedeyne.

Sure, most people don't want a hammer, they want a hole in the wall.

But some people do care about hammers, a lot, because their job is to put holes in walls. Or they just like putting holes in walls.

Don't discount either group.

Silly me for thinking I couldn't find an ORM I dislike more than the ones I've used in . Then I found Spring Boot / JPA...

This is a whole new level of asinine...

Hey @nextcloud folks. I'm stuck on v27, because the News app (I use extensively) still has no v28 version, despite being a recommended app. And v29 is coming soon. This is very unusual.

How do I resolve this? I don't want to drop News, but I also don't want to get left behind on versions again. (It's a pain to dig out of.)

This article uses as it's main example, but it applies to , , even just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.

Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.
