Yust a short reminder: Locale != Language

Language is part of a Locale. But a locale contains sooo much more. Like number and date formating or calendaring rules or currencies or....

Also:

Flags != Languages.

Or which languages do these flags stand for: 🇿🇦 🇨🇭

Hey #php folks of Frankurt and surrounding area: The #neos community is doing a code sprint this weekend at @decix (Hanauer Landstraße in Frankfurt). The main goal is preparation of the next release.

For more info check out https://www.neos.io/events/2023/neos-sprint-frankfurt-2023.html

And who knows: Perhaps we get someone at the next @phpugffm tell us about the sprint or at least ne new release of Neos? 😁

Can anyone decently explain to me why people are so fixated on assigning a gender to someone?

Why is that important?

You wanna address them? "Hey [whatever the person told you they want to be called]"

You weren't told how to address them? "Excuse me: I'm Andreas, What's your name?"

They don't tell you? Have you considered that they probably don't want to talk to you?

Thank you all at @phpugmrn for a great evening. It was a pleasure and I would have loved to stay a bit longer.

Thanks Łukas and Thijs for very interesting and enlightening talks!

Hope to see you all soon!

Can all the companies stop trying to force feed me some garbage with "AI" in the name for at least 5 minutes? This hype is getting ridiculous.

Familiarize yourself with the RFC process as outlined in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

Once you are happy with the content of the RFC in the wiki you'd then announce the RFC on the mailinglist and then discussion starts. And after at least 2 weeks of discussion voting can start and then after 2 weeks of voting you will know whether the idea found friends in the PHP-Ecosystem or not. 😁

Good luck and feel free to reach out when I can provide help!

I'm rehearsing the talk on calendars that I will be giving on the 29th of Feb (What better day to talk about calendaring?).

And again I realize that I find calendars (similar to timezones) much much easier to understand than some people.

And calendars (like timezones) are a mess! But even that mess follows a certain logic. An odd and weird logic. But still a logic!

For those that were at my talk "Watch the clock" at #dpc24 : Find the slides at https://heiglandreas.github.io/slidedeck/20240315-dpc_watchYourClock/index.html#/

And I would really appreciate some feedback at https://joind.in/event/the-dutch-php-conference-2024/watch-the-clock

That's what discrimination can look like.

And I'm not thinking about the size or the fact that public transport isn't free.

It's designed to have your ticket in the right hand.

The fact that that can also mean "the correct hand" is just emphazising that....

@evert @ramsey OK. I have no clue about that TBH having only hired in Europe so far.

Hey #php people! Is there a way to implement an abstract constant? I have an abstract class which implements some stuff for my value objects and a constant IDENTIFIER I would like to enforce to be overwritten by the child classes.

It looks like there was a way in the past by using circular references: https://itecnote.com/tecnote/php-abstract-constants-in-php-force-a-child-class-to-define-a-constant/ but this doesn't work anymore.

It's not caching, it can't be caching. That's impossible!

Narrator: It was caching.

I am having fun creating an office 365 account.... 🤣

At least in Safari I get further than in Firefox... 🤦‍♂️

A screenshot just saying "Konto erstellen". Nothing else. It looks like the system and firefox do not get along very well....

I start seeing technical debt everywhere.

Whether that is an "I'll do the laundry later" at home, a "we'll do the refactoring in the next sprint" or "Transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science;" in global politics:

It's cuting a corner now to fix it later.

Without adding the added cost of fixing it later into the descission making.

Why is the x-powered-by header so common in the PHP world? I feel like exposing this is a security breach, because it allows people to focus their search in the CVE database. This is especially true as software ages and devs don't keep up with upgrades.

Like "hey, I run PHP 5.3, I thought you'd like to know how outdated and vulnerable I am".
