@kboyd @hennell or write with it, run it in script and capture the output, put both in the code for later reuse.

My "Roko's Blocklist" word filter is getting a workout today due to Amazon's re:Invent conference. Apparently they're talking about AI a lot. Which makes sense, they've been at it for a while under its other name - machine learning.

Yet it still reminds me of when they tried to cash in on bitcoin hype with stuff like "AWS Quantum Ledger" and "Managed Blockchain".

I'm noodling with a data storage layer library in . specific. There's 2 options:

  1. Auto-generate SQL tables/views/queries off of PHP data types (with attributes)
  2. Auto-generate PHP classes off of SQL tables/views/queries.

Which would you prefer? The goal is fully typed interaction in PHP space, but I'm not sure which side should be canonical.

Which would you rather work with, and why? Assuming a "good" DX in either case.

Answer why in replies, boost for reach, etc.

@Crell I grudgingly voted for sql centric, not because that’s where I want to be long term, but because I for see more uses where you are sitting down trying to deal with a legacy app’s data and want to start fresh in the code that wraps it.

Supposedly, this is a real, unedited photo this woman’s friend took of her from behind while she was modeling a wedding dress in front of two mirrors. She swears the photo is not altered in any way. Yet, her pose reflected in each mirror is different from how she’s posed standing in front of the mirrors.

There’s no way this isn’t doctored.

    @eyrea @notjustbikes @WaterSword there has got to be something off about the machine translation they offer though. A “baking bike” to haul trash?? I assume it’s a cargo bike, not a bike with an oven on board.

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @eyrea @notjustbikes @WaterSword probably a different underlying translation engine. My client uses LibreTranslate and came up with this: “From now on, you can borrow an electric baking bike free of charge at 4 . Convenient if you don't have a car or rather take away your garbage by bike.”

    @grmpyprogrammer wow. Whoever said that has no clue how wrong they are. Skipping all the deprecations in 8.2 and going straight from “it works” on 8.1 to “it’s fataling” on post 8.2 would be such a monumental own goal.

    @kevbob pretty sure the “show papers” these clowns are talking about was a proof of vaccination check, which some places were doing in the early easing of restrictions. We twice showed our cards to eat inside when places first started doing dine in again.

    it was only this year I learned that the proper way to nest lists in HTML is

    <ul>
    <li>Item
    <ul><li>Sub-item</li><ul>
    </li>
    </ul>

    and not

    <ul>
    <li>Item</li>
    <ul><li>Sub-item</li></ul>
    </ul>

    which makes sense and all, but it is making things hard for me because I am trying to write a thing in PHP that generates a table of contents (a list of nested links) from a web page's headings, and I am having a DICKENS of a time. I figured out how to tell it to start a nested list, but I am having trouble figuring out how to close the containing </li> tags correctly. Especially in cases where the list goes from, like, <h4> to <h2>. Do I have to, like, nest the LOOPS too?

    I do want to figure it out by myself but if anyone has dealt with this particular problem, hints would be welcome!

    cabbey,
    @cabbey@phpc.social avatar

    @Crell @nev strong plus one to both Eric and Larry here, recursion is the solution to this. In an OO world you would have an object that represents an item, potentially has sub items that are themselves instances of the same object. An output method emits the opening li, the item, potentially an opening ol or ul, then loops on its children, calling the same output method, before finally emiting closing elements for whatever it opened. (At least the li, maybe the ol or ul.)
