People often talk about Emacs vs Vim. Every developer I’ve met uses Vim. Occasionally, some of the vim users will say they have previously emacs, but switched to vim.
So where are all the people who are currently using Emacs?
I’m not trolling or looking for an argument. I legit want to know!
i’m thinking about reviving NYPHP. Live in NYC (or nearby), and Interested in attending?
What PHP companiess have NYC offices? Do you know of some? Do you work at one? It would be great to have companies to sponsor, and be part of the community
The quoted article gave me an idea: What if browsers could send HTTP errors to servers. The first one would be “ You have violated the client data allowance of 1MB for this page: your page weight = 2.5MB”
you know what i was just thinking about? programming syntax and international developers. Between PHP and jQuery, how do european and british developers deal with the $ symbol? I imagine the $ is not directly on your region-specific keyboard. Does your IDE map the € or £ to the $ when you code? Do you just use second keyboard with a US layout? You’ve gotta use the $ symbol hundreds of times a day, so it needs to be easy
project idea: Create an RSS feed just for you. Identify multiple data sources, Filter them by some criteria, then merge them into an RSS feed that only you read.
i think people at my coworking space are copying aspects of my computer setup. just noticed that someone has my exact phone stand. a few other people use the same laptop stand . I just started bringing my Moonlander keyboard into the workspace — so we’ll see how long it takes for me to see another moonlander to appear. Does this mean that i’m an influencer? that i’m cool?!
One of the biggest problems on the web is search — especially from a privacy perspective. we need to setup our own search engines, so that get more universal results without manipulation. Also could we federate the m? Remember how the original Napster worked?! Perhaps we could setup our search engines to work like Napster.
Probably needs to have OO to integrate with existing APIs. Perhaps start with stronger typing. Maybe it doesn’t have NULL? Better boolean truthy-ness. Native tenplating like PHP. Rust-y numeric types e.g. u16, Namespaces, native module syntax.
Imagine working with a language not designed in 10 days. what do you think? Blog posts welcome
You know what there should be more of? defined tech teams. Not individual contractors. Not agencies. Defined teams of 4-6 people who always work together.
Question for the Linux nerds: What pre-installed CLI program would you run to view info about your system - e.g. OS version, kernel version, Processor, memory, display
i see lots of people wearing baseball caps with a flat brim , and usually a shiny sticker the manufacturer added on the brim.
Every time I see people do this , i feel a strong urge to take their hat, rip the sticker off, and bend the brim like they should have when they bought it, and hand it back to them.
Don’t they know they look like a complete putz?! Don’t trust anyone with a flat brim on their baseball cap
