I'm so used to legacy projects where structuring it properly and adding tools and best practices is a mission impossible without a revolution, that I'm looking around for a good #opensource#PHP project where I can see things done well. Do you know any? I recently saw "/kbin" repo and I liked it so far, not that I've dug deep. I may event try to contribute a bit (as scarce as my free time is anyways).
@ramsey@chriscoyier I did 32. My wallet got drenched and i was attempting to dry it out. The burning leather smell was awful, and the RFID blocking insert didn’t help 🤪
I just landed back in NYC after two weeks in California, juggling many, many totally different projects. Meeting in person with many different teams. All of it working to make the web better.
I’m clearer than ever that privacy is incredibly important. A fundamental human right that’s deeply at risk. I’ve worked on the web for decades. I don’t like watching it be a machine for vacuuming up our personal lives & selling us. No thank you.
Show idea — Star Trek: Collective. It’s an origin story … 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 . There’s some parallels to Caprica, but it’s all StarTrek
@ramsey@JosephLeedy thats due to my plot description too generic at the moment. i only just realized i want a show about the borg. it needs some elaboration. i want to know how the collective came to be. why a queen? why are borg ships cubes? Most importantly- what kind of society would create the borg? It won’t be by a billionaire technologist like Caprica
My kid, a computer science major, said that the way programming is taught is "too capitalist" because it emphasizes efficiency and time saving over everything else, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.
@katykaty@ben I disagree. Programming is about problem solving and automating away the monotonous and minutiae, so you focus on living your best life. When combined with Open Source software, its about having confidence in the software you use to manage your life
im listening to Pandora for some morning music, per usual, to get me going. In the song “Ghost of my Hometown” by The Strike, when they’re playing the verse of a song, It reminds me if The Police! The singer, in particular, reminds me of Sting. Then, they sing the chorus and The Strike sound like themselves again
@mhoye@cassidy As i was reading this, i was thinking about the security breaches that have occurred at other large companies, and wondered - Has Google’s advertising database ever had a security breach? #security
@halva@cassidy Perhaps some engineer at google (who values the open web) will update the default setting in chrome dev tools to throttle connections to 3G speeds. That would have quite an impact.
Up until 4 years ago or something #Vim (or #GVim) was my code editor of choice. But when having to work with #PHP#WordPress I preferred #VSCode, which has become my main editor.
With Vim I could never get IntelliSense to work properly so I dropped that.
Currently want to look into working with (Mac)Vim again. But my #vimfiles are sorely outdated (8-12 years or so!). Time for a fresh start. Used to copy plugin's etc. to my vimfiles, but is there a better way these days to also stay up-to-date?
@Htbaa For PHP development, the best option is PhpStorm by JetBrains, with the ideavim plugin to get Vim bindings. This pairing alone is great, but step debugging with XDebug takes things to another level.
Linux needs an organization - let’s call it
Linux Mobile Foundation (LinMoFo) - to concentrate and unite efforts for building a single non-google Linux platform. Businesses and application developers need a single target platform — which will be much easier to hit. Linux mobile will already be competing for resources against iphone and android. So gnome, kde, and other parties need to work together
@outofcontrol oh i see. in that case, i’d contact the mainttainer, and offer to write a PR. If you don’t hear back, fork their project and update your composer json with your forked version
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
@josh@heiglandreas that’s great Josh! One of the hardest issues is getting a venue to hold the meetups. Is that something you could help with? for say 20-30 people? i’m just guessing. i’m only just starting this project
The Moonlander is a real workout for my hands, which are in the smaller side. My right ring and pinky are feeling t. I’m still not a fast typist, but i think I’m becoming a better one. This split columar layout is forcing me to learn the right way. If I had just a few more keys, it’d be perfect.
I can’t help but think “Where was Granmar Girl when I was in school?” I was a math and science guy in school. So I didn’t enjoy my English classes at the time. As I follow along with @grammargirl she makes learning about the English language fun.
