urgh, looking at the signature for psr/log log - think today I'm going with my own logger interface.

It's my wife's grandmother's funeral this afternoon. She made it to 103 and was in good shape, with an alert mind right up to the end, which is pretty much ideal.

Born in 1920 and using Zoom in 2023. That's a lot of technological change over a life time!

It's change password on the client's IT system day!

However, it doesn't work today. I have 5 days before it expires.

In my experience, multiple concepts invariably end up in a non-trivial PR. When a repository uses squash-and-merge then those concepts end up in the same single commit on main and any context is lost.

Finally worked out why I can't print to my printer. The SSL cert on the printer has expired.

I've been looking at MacBook Pro prices with a focus on RAM as the M3 Pro is enough compute for me. I need at least 64GB RAM, so M3 Max it is.

Due to the way Apple bundles CPU & GPU core count with memory size configuration, you can get an extra 32GB of RAM for £100 as the 14-core M3 Max doesn't have a 64GB RAM option:

64GB RAM requires 16-core MAX at £3,999.
96GB RAM requires 14-core MAX at £4,099.

£100 for 32GB RAM for the loss of 2 CPU cores.

Writing Rodeo, a CLI tool for uploading images to Flickr was one of my better decisions. I use it so much! https://github.com/akrabat/rodeo

I continue to dislike that scam by ticket sales websites - The Ticket Factory in this case.

Nothing to be done, but it is irritating.

I'm surprised how few Markdown visual editors do not render bullets or code blocks within a blockquote. So far I've only found Bear that does this. Obsidian seems to know that it's an unsigned list but doesn't render it correctly and has no clue about code blocks inside quotes.

Are you getting serious about Swift and developing apps for Apple platforms and potentially interested in joining a community of other experienced programmers looking to help one another learn?

If so, DM me.

Great opening talk at TechMids this morning.

Loved this point by Molly Barnes that disabilities are acquired by people later in life. Sight and hearing loss, along with mobility issues come to most older people, not old people.

Looked again at a #PHP codebase written/maintained in PHP 5.5, where new code is designed and added on the existing app.

Made me realize that the only thing I miss from newer PHP versions is strict type checks, which came with PHP 7.0.

Everything else was provided by @psalm or @phpstan

From my PoV (person that reads internals, follows/votes on RFCs, etc.), there are almost zero feature additions that make newer PHP versions interesting.

Not justifying staying back: just noticed this.

Reminded again that questions from the audience never enhance a conference talk.
