Typically when I need to create a test image for development, Iāve been using dummyimage.com but theyāve started doing something that drives me nuts! Iāll use their file type dropdown to create the image as a jpg. But when they file size reaches a certain threshold, it gets converted to a WebP. WTF?! Why?! Itās not even an option in their file type dropdown! Donāt override what Iām requesting. Whatās your favorite test image site? #UX#WebDev
finally got to start practicing with my Moonlander. Designing your ideal layout is one thing. But as soon as you start training with real content, thatās when you find the holes in yiur design.
The columnar layout makes my muscle memory feel wrong.
Also, I feel somewhat limited by number of physical keys on the Moonlander. I canāt imagine how people get by with the Voyager.
you know, itās funny. For all the web pages that get created in PHP, a language with native templatng, we havenāt really created good strategies for making it easy to work with markup.
Whereās the discussion of strategies of creating blocks of HTML/XML? of wrapping heredocs / nowdocs in typehinted functions? of making that markup accessible?
I was wondering if thereās a specific word for schadenfreude for code.
āPleasure derived from reading other peopleās bad codeā
Iām not a german speaker. In English, there isnāt a single word that captures this. I think the phrase ācode shadeā gets pretty close. Shade in the cool kids vernacular meaning āa casual or disrepectul manner toward somethingā
As more and more people surrender their cars, how can we repurpose them thoughtfully? In particular, how can we implement a car architecture āācarchitectureā ā to re-use a carās various components into the urban landscape?
Well thatās a bummer. None of my Longhorn PHP submissions were accepted. I did submit them in a hurry, in order to make the deadline. So, it probably wasnāt my best writing. But i was still hoping to be able to speak at Longhorn. Just means i have some improvements to make
one thing i donāt like about the Linux UI are the fonts. The default fonts donāt look as nice as MacOS. Linux fonts have an āunfinishedā look about them - like someone said āpublish them for now. weāll fix the fonts on the next releaseā
We are the hero of our own story. We imagine that we can change the world.
When we create things, we imagine the good we can do. However, before you go too far down the road of making something, ask yourself: What if your enemies had this, and could wield it against you? would you still want it in the world?
Before you release your project, consider the consequences. How can it go wrong? How wrong can it go?
i was just listening to āNever Stopā by FM-84, and I thought: This song would fit right in to the John Cusack classic film āBetter Off Deadā.
Then i thought: How cool would it be if we could take 80ās films and replace their soundtracks with songs from FM-84, as well as songs by The Midnight, The Strike, and Gunship. ?
Did anybody else read this and think āwait, people stiil use Eclipse?ā then get to the part that āAs Europeās largest open source foundation, which also supports a robust open specification process, the Eclipse Foundation is a natural home for this effort.ā , and think āwhoa, seriously?!ā š
we need a podcast where the weekly PHP news is read. Laravel News is Laravel-specific and a little too wordy. Something between the styles of āThis Week in Linuxā and āPodnews Dailyā.
Show idea ā Star Trek: Collective. Itās an origin story ā¦ of the Borg! It starts in a world a little more advanced than our own - by a hundred years or so. They have space travel . This would probably be 500-700 years before TNG.. It starts with a robot workforce. And bringing an AI online to manage it for asteroid mining . Thereās some parallels to Caprica, but itās all StarTrek
āLife is like a box of chocolates ā you never know what youāre gonna getā
That famous quote is from the movie āForest Gumpā. And itās wrong.
I donāt know what kind of sketchy shop they went to buy their chocolate. You always have some idea. Iād would to go to Seeās Candy and buy a box of Soft Centers (this tells you there wonāt be any nuts). Over the years, (Soft Centers were a family favorite), I bought enough of them to know by looking at them what each piece was. You always have some idea.
sometimes i think āmaybe Iāll start a podcast. I could do 1 episode every 2 weeksā
Then i remember that i have a blog on my website, and i havenāt written anything on it for a few months. The penultimate article was published several months before that!
So what makes me think the podcast format would be any different
Interested in reducing the need for ad blockers? Make things safer for the public. Users are only trying to protect their privacy.
The solution is to regulate the Ad Networks! Establish limits on the types, quantity, and frequency of the data they can collect. Reduce AND limit the number of ad trackers a website can allow.
There should be an IDE for writers (novelists, journalists, bloggers, etc). Iām imagining something that feels like PhpStorm, but would check grammar and readability, cross reference with specific data sources, and other Writer-y type tasks.
MS Word is a word processor , and doesnāt count.
dear @KaleidoscopeApp Please donāt make me access my email to login. it makes activating your app on my work machine a huge PITA. Just do a normal login process like every other website since the beginning of time.
they say KDE resembles Windows and Gnome resembles MacOS. So when someone is gonna switch to Linux - Do you thinks itās better to give them the DE that most resembles their current platform (to help ease them into Linux)? OR do you give them a dissimilar DE (to make their brain think they shouldnāt have any illusions t about old paradigms carrying over)? So in the latter scenario you give Gnome to Microsoft users and KDE to Apple users.
@michaeldyrynda (i donāt know Jakeās mastodon handle). I just listened to the latest Laravel News podcast, where you weāre looking for one-word name ideas for the :: (double colon) symbol.
You mentioned the hebrew word was āPaamayim Nekudotayimā and i was thinking the name could be derived from that.
