Why #KidicalMass is a protest.

The other day I was running tests on one of my contrib modules, and got a deprecation warning for a trait in #Drupal core that had been renamed. And my first thought was, 'Who the hell has been farting around renaming damn test traits, and what the hell for?'
Readers, it was me. I'd filed the issue to rename that test trait.

What's the generic term for keywords in #PHP like 'static', 'public', 'final', etc?

#git commands I need, part 1: git related: show me all the branches that contain the same issue number in their name as the current branch

joachim, 1 month ago to drupal

BIG update to my set of commands for working with #Drupal contrib within a project: https://github.com/joachim-n/drupal-project-contrib-development I've added a #Composer command to make and apply a patch from a feature branch in a module's git clone!

@organicmaps has been HUGELY useful for both planning and while away on holiday. I've downloaded maps of where we were going for offline use, so I can navigate without data or wifi. I've used it to find shops, playparks, restaurants, ice cream, and drinking water. With the bookmark feature I can make lists of useful spots ahead of time. I've filed LOTS of bugs in their issue queue because I'm a nitpicker and a magnet for bugs, but it's because I think it's a fantastic app with huge potential!

Released a new #Composer command for switching a #Drupal module installed in a project to a git clone install, so you can fix bugs and test MRs in the context of the project: https://github.com/joachim-n/drupal-project-contrib-development Please try it and report any problems!

@openstreetmap is there a way to make contour lines more visible? I find it very hard to see them in any of the map layers. #openstreetmap

joachim, 1 month ago to firefox

Why does an app having an update pending make it run like crap? Anytime #Firefox starts to be slow, it'll be because it's got an update ready to install. Similarly if my mac starts running like crap, it'll be Firefox, #VSCode, or #Slack which have an update. What causes the slowdown?

Really not keen on #Drupal commerce adding a 'Commerce inbox' item to the admin toolbar. #DrupalCommerce

They changed this at the top of UK passports post-#brexit to satisfy the gammon, didn’t they?

What should I propose as a session to #DrupalCon Barcelona?

joachim, 2 months ago to random

Using @organicmaps to prepare my holiday itinerary - saving places to a bookmark list, downloading offline maps to my tablet. It's really great -- would be even better if I could order the bookmarks manually.

Controversial #Mastodon opinion - I miss the Algorithm. For instance, I follow the very nice @PersevereImgBot but it's a bit spammy. I'd like it if it didn't appear to much, or only the posts that get traction. What if Mastodon had its own version of the Algorithm? Or more than one, so you could pick your favourite, or indeed, write your own. And all open-source and documented.

#HeatPump tip - download your gas usage data from your supplier BEFORE disconnecting your gas account, as in my case EDF have deleted it, so I can't compare my energy usage before and after the heat pump :(

joachim, 3 months ago to random

What's a good #git strategy for developing tests when you need to run them on the feature branch and ALSO the main branch (so you can check they pass/fail respectively). I'm trying to keep two test branches in sync with cherry-picks and it's horribly faffy.

Web developers who make things that generate PDFs, tickets for trains and events for instance - please PLEASE PLEASE make the PDF filename USEFUL. The destination. The venue. My name. Not 'ticket.pdf' or a meaningless string of junk. MAKE IT USEFUL. #UX

New release of the #Drupal Code Builder #Drush command - the CLI has been reworked to use the very nice #Laravel prompts. The autocomplete UX is a huge improvement! https://github.com/drupal-code-builder/drupal-code-builder-drush

A screenshot of the Drupal Code Builder Drush command in operation. A CLI prompt asks the user to enter service names, and lists the possible options with a search field.

In heating systems, why is a small difference between flow and return temperatures good? I would naively have thought a large difference meant that more heat was being released into the house? #HeatPump

joachim, 3 months ago to drupal

New release of #Drupal Code Builder adds selecting of events to subscribe to. And new release of Module Builder has the autocomplete tweaked to treat '.' and '_' as interchangeable, so you no longer need to remember if it's 'entity.type.manager' or 'entity_type.manager' - either will work.

Saw in a bookshop that there's a new edition of Iain M. Banks' books. The spines all form a single motif, which is a nice touch, but also a sad reminder that he's dead and there'll be no more books.

Heat pump is switched on! SO COLD standing in front of it!

Unexpected bonus of using PHP attributes instead of annotations for plugins: the new release of #DrupalCodeBuilder adds helpful comments to tell you what each property does -- https://github.com/drupal-code-builder/drupal-code-builder/releases/tag/4.3.7

New release of Action Link module lets you put the links directly into field formatters, and the field value updates with AJAX as well as the link. https://www.drupal.org/project/action_link #Drupal
