I cannot stop thinking about orcas wearing salmon hats. https://www.iflscience.com/in-1987-orcas-had-a-fashion-of-wearing-a-dead-salmon-as-a-hat-69542

@Crell The linked article says a female orca started the salmon hat trend.

So, I’m building a dependency-injection package, and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve gone a route that I don’t really see many, if any, following. I suspect it may be that a lot of the solutions out there are old, and while they have been updated, they’re still going to inherit certain approaches.

@ollieread I’m intrigued. What route have you gone?

@ocramius TIL scorpions have a much wider range than I thought. I’ve always thought they were limited to the Americas only. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpion

"Humor is a human phenomenon"

*Is this actually true? It must be true of verbal humor -- but maybe there are animals funnier than people, when seen by animal standards

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@bruces @pluralistic I don’t know about humor, but animals certainly do things for the fun of it. When it snows, my dog can’t wait to go out and run in it; she’s old but acts like a puppy in the snow. I saw a recent article about the orcas attacking boats, and it seems more likely that it’s a group of juveniles having fun. The same article mentioned a group of orcas who started wearing salmon on their heads, just for fun.

@janl I don’t remember my number or login info. I probably signed up using a Yahoo or Hotmail address I no longer have.

At the end of my mini vacation (I went to Ghana 🇬🇭) I had some extra Cedi’s (currency in Ghana 🇬🇭), so I decided to use the rest of it purchasing a large Djembe (African drum). I actually had to verify if I could bring it on the plane ✈️ (I was not sure if it would fit) but the airport employees said it was okay. Ironically, at virtually every stop (Accra, London, Philadelphia, etcetera), airport 🔛 @darnell (Out Of Office) 🏞️ See More:

@darnell @darnell When I was in college, I had a friend who played a djembe at a coffee shop we would go to regularly. They’re really cool drums.

Why do IDEs always default the terminal to the bottom of the screen? I’m always—always—going to move it to right side of the screen. No matter what. Am I the only one who does this?

ramsey,

@kboyd Makes sense. I like horizontal displays.

@timwolla @josh I use the built-in terminal the same way: for Git. I never use the IDE’s Git integration.

What’s the deal with skinny 12 oz. cans?

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@paladin It’s imperial all the way down.

ramsey,
@ramsey@phpc.social avatar

@sean That’s what I thought. Are they doing this on all cans, or just the “light beer” cans? Does a skinny can imply less calories, etc.?

@TheNeedling @kboyd “with the possible exception of the very end”

What an understatement!

Do you want your computer to have photographic memory of everything you’ve looked at:

@frameworkcomputer @majorlinux I want my computer to have a photographic memory of everything I do, not the company who made my computer.

I love being able to go through my history to find things I did or websites I visited, so I can recall that information and use it again.

The company who made my computer or OS should not have that privilege, though.

Working on the v1 codebase and its test suite, make you realise how much work has been done on , and it simply works! Thank you @sebastian!

At the same time the legacy Doctrine v1 still manages OK-ish in the era of ! Still with no class namespaces and by implementing its own autoloading system! Is it probably from times? 🤔

Kudos to the original authors!
(Are they around here BTW?)

ramsey,

@thepanz @sebastian He’s not the first author, but @jwage took it over from the original author, which, as I recall is a pretty interesting story.

Nope, four years later they still hate me and don't want to unlock my account.

Too bad, maybe I would have PAID come to the next SymfonyLive.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog @jalcine The same rule that says this?

So, I doubt Microsoft engineers care.

@GossiTheDog @jalcine What’s more damning is that many engineers are dues-paying members of the ACM or IEEE, which do have codes of ethics they encourage computing professionals to follow (even if not members).

ACM Code of Ethics, 4.2: “Each ACM member should encourage and support adherence by all computing professionals regardless of ACM membership.“

We should hold our profession accountable to these codes.
