community. I'm wondering about a very old PHP memory.

When I just started out with PHP (PHP 5.1-5.3 era), I encountered a bug.

When I did some math in PHP, my browser crashed.
I then send the code to a friend, they ran it on their pc, and their browser also crashed.
When I changed the code, it didn't crash.

I've since then always wondered about this. My guess is I used x instead of *, and typed something like 'echo 3x5'. However, that still doesn't explain the crash to me.

Any ideas?

Home after and super excited to spend the next few weeks playing with all the things I learned.

One thing from @rskuipers' talk I implemented immediately!

Now as is tradition after a conference I also want to start with my own talk. Since my last was in 2020, it's about time.

Today I was at a themepark and for the first time ever, I rode a rollercoaster without holding my hands to something. I had them in the air! It's kinda funny that only in the recent years I've been going more on rollercoasters than before. Loving them more and more, and I know which ones I absolutely don't like!

Also love that themeparks have so many different styles close to each other. Some pictures attached!

An industrial style building, with girders in front. The building itself is rust colored, while the girders in front are grey.
A pathway made of stones. On the side the walls around it are from stone, with a building of stone and wood combined in the background. The pathway passes below it.

In my adventures about Time in Programming, and specifically , I always thought that timezones were part of the system files, not part of PHP itself.

This was wrong, as I found out while reading the timezone database mailinglist, where @derickr posted the following:

“I have just updated the tzdb for PHP, and one of our tests started failing”

I'm loving how deep the hole of 'time in programming' is.

Okay, you guys convinced me. I'm gonna try first. Can always change if I want to.

Now, my follow up question: I have a 49" monitor. Is there some software to easily put windows in predefined spots? I assume this is dependent on the desktop environment I pick?

On Windows I use Powertoys for it.

The fact that after all these years, Bitbucket still doesn't have a decent code review interface just surprises me. Do they develop it on Github themselves? Are all the app features decided by business people?

It's a complete mystery to me. Luckily, we're moving away from it.

Stand-up Maths (amazing youtuber) just went into and why you sometimes die in a boat.

Great video, also if you don't care about Minecraft, but you just care about floats in programming.

Did they just show fans with a Belgian flag during the 'Where are all my Germans?' part? 😂

Love the song, love the choreo, love the graphics. San Marino is one of my favorites!

Finland was hilarious and fantastic. Love it. Syncing camera work and choreo like that is crazy.

How is nowadays? Thinking of dual booting to Linux again, but the last time I worked with it, Wayland was new and I couldn't even screenshare windows with it.

Is this solved?

Loved Estonia as well. Great vibe, great music. Great abandoned factory.

There is not enough detailed info about how to keep versioned & synchronised between dev, staging & prod.

All the info I've found so far boils down to "use this 3rd party service" or "do some haphazard copying database dumps back & forth" or "just make your changes 3 times".

I just can't fathom why there isn't more writing about this.

thomastospace,
@thomastospace@phpc.social avatar

@syntaxseed I think it comes down to 'there's no better way'.

When I worked on Wordpress, we had all our code in custom plugin/theme. These are versioned of course.

If we needed pages/products/etc. from production, we used WP Migrate DB Pro to pull the database without customer data.

Yes... If we needed to adjust something in the database, that happened 3 times. Locally, staging & prod. Luckily that was rare.

I haven't found a better way since. If you find it, I would love to hear about it.

    Frustrated I can't install Laravel without having PHP on my local machine…

    thomastospace,
    @thomastospace@phpc.social avatar

    @sarah @tvbeek I have something similar but for Symfony. It installs the Symfony binary in the container, and then that installs Symfony (although that mostly just calls composer).

    I wonder if it's possible to install whatever Laravel uses as installer in a container as well.
