@heiglandreas Not saying that it took 2 hours each for 3 guys with a CS background to find out that the router of a person, not to be named in this toot, had some odd priority to the ISP dns even though primary and secondary dns were assigned when connected to the vpn...
So yeah pretty easy stuff and it just works. Cries in wasted lifetime
Not sure whether I'm blind, but I can't see how to install PECL itself anywhere on the PECL site. Trying out a Windows setup for the first time in decades.
@afilina uff. I can't have a look at my Setup right now but i think prebuild binaries are the way to go (i use chocolatey for local deps, so those would be located in your c:\tools\php<version> folder.
If you can not get a prebuild .dll of your ext you'll need the php-sdk to compile it. (Had to do it for mcrypt and php 8.2 once)
I believe i spent a whole evening trying to get pecl on Windows until i opted for the above
She Who Must Be Obeyed has commented that she has never seen me plan something like a car purchase 18 months in advance. She is correct but I’ve never owned a vehicle from a car maker that could implode because of the dumbassery of the company’s owner
Digitaly signing email would probably work much better when webmailers would show the result of the verification instead of just another email attachment...
Please, start programming in Rust, man. Come on, it's such a good language! You have memory safety, high-level abstractions, and low-level performance. Come on, man, we NEED more people to use i-
@nixCraft Just publish a leftpad to crates, wrap it in a exec call inside an npm package and promote is as "rust enabled transpiled asynchronous reactive decoupler" stack. You'll at least get three new frameworks using rust in the first 5 minutes after you published your Blogpost on Hacker news
Ugh, the PHP CS Fixer setup instructions for PHPStorm are so long and confusing that I might as well just use the CLI instead. I've been told that I'm a very impatient person :)
@afilina hmm, don't know about how legacy (pre autoload area is probably insane to get a setup to run) but if psr-0 / psr-4 is present in the codebase i could imagine that rector could like fix maybe some of the things hindering you to adopt static analyse tools.
I was amazed with how little effort you could fix even large codebases with it.
But probably you already have tried it or it is just not feasible
I’m a software developer with about 6 years of experience. My most recent work was in Rust, but I’m also comfortable with C++ and Go, and happy to work with any language. Most of my experience is with, broadly speaking, backend work. I also have SRE skills, a strong background in mathematics and CS, experience working with distributed systems and cryptography, and experience prioritizing and organizing work within a team.
I would prefer a job that:
Provides a non-negative value to society.
Preferably is remote, but I live in Switzerland and am willing to relocate to English or German speaking countries or Poland if the offer is interesting enough.
Works on something long-term, rather than chasing trends.
@timorl the company i work for is located in munich Germany and Wroclaw Poland. We're looking for a Senior Backend Developer right now. joinus.limango.com
A lot of php an go. Pretty diverse working place. Can't say If Switzerland would be okay to work from since it is non eu.
SEO spam is pretty desperate. They offer to make your website more visible for the internet, but they found your website by the dozens without special SEO work anyway.
@SenseException another question you could ask, of their tactics Work so great why do they contact you? If they can make people buy any product, why not their own?
Programming languages are tools. Just like a hammer doesn't automatically make you a great carpenter, simply knowing Rust or C++ or Go or any other lang won't instantly make you a better developer. I am just saying
@nixCraft the experiences you gain using those Tools however will. Especially If you try out new paradigms. It helps to keep the mind staying open for new ideas.
Popularity seems to be the only metric for truth nowadays. There is very little scientific method or intellectual debate anymore. There are mostly polls, ratios, peer pressure and appeals to authority. What little debate is left often lacks good faith.
I mostly stopped engaging in debates, especially with people I don't know. I would rather be perceived as insensitive by leaving someone hanging than to waste time constructing arguments that will be shat on, or worse, be met with aggression.
