The kid and I have decided that Pepsi’s Starry > Coke’s Sprite. We are converts.

@ramsey @hbuchel @ldpm yeah, it’s replaced Sierra Mist (aka Mist Twist) pretty much everywhere out here and it is way better than Mist was imho. Certainly better than Sprite (way sweeter) or 7-up (more watery).

@kboyd @grmpyprogrammer a very reasonable justification.

@grmpyprogrammer @kboyd which brings up the next struggle: finding a DIC that’s actively supported. :(

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@grmpyprogrammer @kboyd that’s what we are using. Note that it hasn’t been touched since feb 22, and the supported php version list stops at 7.4. We’ve had some issues around the reflection code and modern php 8 syntax for constructors.

@grmpyprogrammer @kboyd bah. Saturday morning brain fog. That should have been “actively maintained”.

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@sephster @grmpyprogrammer @kboyd honestly I don’t know that we have. Iirc we’re on 3.x still, and when we tried to move to 4.x hit other problems (which are logged as issues from others), but the stated support stopping at 7.4 and the documented issues with 8.x functionality and the other random documented regression issues with 4.x and some of the open questions in the issues being open for so long…. Yeah, just didn’t seem worth it.

I’m okay with this decision because I want @packagist to succeed, but, damn, just can’t get first class support anywhere.

@ramsey meh. @packagist is far superior anyway. We’re paying for Private Packagist and I’m so much happier with it than anything similar I’ve tried.

Oh my, this school just used CC instead of BCC, and shared my email with half a thousand people who live in my area. I really hope that nobody starts a thread using reply-all.

@afilina @derickr someone I know used to have a canned response they would send when that happened. It was from their law firm. Offering services to join into class actions against the school district for revealing personal contact info.

What distro do y’all use on the ?

Yes, this is the one time you’re allowed to be like “hi I use ” and not have everyone around you roll their eyes 😉

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@brunty Ubuntu pretty much everywhere. I didn’t go with it on the pi4 though… that’s running the raspbian (or whatever it got renamed to.) just due to inertia. Will probably become Ubuntu if I ever do a scratch install.

My filters are getting quite a workout tonight. I must continue to resist clicking on them, for my own health and safety. Well, mostly just blood pressure.

@kboyd good call. I made the mistake of looking.

Problem: I have two DB tables, and I’m trying to select from the first table for records that do not exist in the second table. Over time, as I process each record, I’ll write to the 2nd table, and then those records will be excluded on subsequent queries.

Pretty standard stuff. The queries are easy to write, and there are several ways to write them (e.g. left join where is null, where not in subquery, where not exists subquery).

1/2

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey are the inserts always ordered from the first table to the second? If so, our preferred architecture is to inject a message into a queue when inserting table A. The consumer for it is idempotent and checks if there is a row in table B for that key (indexed select should be fast to return zero rows) before trying to fetch the data from A to insert into B. The queue injection is driven from app logic; nothing in the DB.

@kboyd today’s goal; finish the week’s meta work bullshit so I can do something more fun tomorrow and not feel like the entire week was spent on administrivia. (Technically it wasn’t, some of it was already spent debugging far enough to declare it “someone else’s problem”.)

today i learned that cp -r of a directory that is actually a symlink will just copy the symlink and not actually do an r cp.

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii is this one of those cases where adding a trailing / alters the behavior?

cp -r foo

vs

cp -r foo/

What’s a good, standard vodka to get for something like a White Russian? I know nothing about vodka.

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@ramsey if it’s not the star ingredient and you find whatever you got it too “flavorful” a pass through a Brittany filter does wonders to tone down cheap vodka to the point it can be used in mixed drinks. (But I doubt you’ll have to do that with either of the recommendations given here. Unlike the half case of horrid shit my wife bought because the bottles were cool… that got 10 passes through to be mixable. )

Processing my order in US Dollars 🤔
Charging me Canadian sales taxes 🤨

cabbey,
@cabbey@phpc.social avatar

@sean I’ve yet to see a tax law that cared what currency you were transacting in. They just want their 2-28% of it, whatever it is. That’s the sellers’ headache at return time.

Some do care about how you invoice it though. So I’ve had to generate an invoice in € for the £ value of a transaction settled in US$.
