Php core security team decided who gets to know. The patch was huge it took that long.

See PHP foundation blog post on their timeline

Maybe you bring the hardware from any hoster, and they manage the service.
only the mainstream media knows about this? Quite odd to qualify media this way here, when most of all media uses this mechanism. We also forgot politicians who are experts in this field.
Re:AI Generated Music Barred from Bandcamp on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @03:06PM (#46607082)
I believe if you go down the rabbit hole of "mood playlists" and spotify created playlists, then you'll get a lot of tracks that they don't need to pay royalties for and that could probably include AI generated music.

If you are explictitly looking for music by specific artists, then you get their music obviously.

While I believe you, its an argument that artists bring forward since the beginning of art, so even many hundred years before the internet on average humankind did not value this work.
Re:We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed 189 bugs on Monday November 24, 2025 @05:29AM (#46032461)
Its odd at first, but springs from economic principles, mainly sunk cost fallacy.

If you invest 2 days of work and did not find the root cause of a bug, then you have the human desire to keep investing more work, because you already invested so much work. At that point however its best to re-evaluate and do something different instead, because it might have a bigger impact.

Likelihood that after 2 days of not finding the problem, you wont find it after another 2 days is higher than starting over with another bug that on average you find the problem earlier.

Came here to say the same thing, confused how a website like this can be made, the people behind it must have not understood how the EU works.

If Germany is listed as "Undecided" then this is in the Council. The 96 MPs are from a wide spectrum of parties and most of them will already be either for, or against this.

My hope is that the parallel extension will get more widespread adoption when its integrated into FrankenPHP: https://github.com/krakjoe/parallel
We have something similar in Central Europe, covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux and Italy for many years now. The tolino https://mytolino.com/ works similar that bookstores get a cut of the sales.

Just to set the record straight, Nikita is not the creator of the PHP JIT code, that is Dmitry and he is employed by Zend owned by Perforce working mostly on this.

Its just one financial host that is closing down. Most open source is on a different host called "Open SOURCE Collective". The platform still stays and there is no need to migrate to something else for open source projects.

Individuals cannot sue for GDPR violations. They van only raise their concerns to data protection agencies and these can sue, bur they can also decide to ignore.
This is due to how PHP and Sentry for PHP works. It sends out the data after every request to Sentry backend via HTTP. Depending on your network path to their servers, I have seen this take 10-100ms. This is different on how other APMs work for PHP, for example Tideways that I work on, or DataDog/NewRelic/Blackfire. They have a local agent running that accepts the data over socket/tcpip before sending it to the backend for processing.

The workaround in case of Sentry is to deploy the Sentry Relay in your network and send all data there.

You can design a citycenter to primarily benefit bike traffic and then it will be consistently faster than car travel
Re:SVB Depositors, Investors Tried to Pull $42B Thursday on Saturday March 11, 2023 @11:41AM (#35109970)
Thats not what parent is saying. They are saying todays value of the known portfolio is not what is on the books due to interest and risk discounting the future value at which the bonds mature.

Either you sell everything now at the discounted value, leading to loss in deposits. Or you wait 10 years and pay everyone back their deposit then. Given current inflation a dollar now is only worth 50 cent in 10 years.

Re:WTF Is T_paamayim_nekudotayim (2013) on Sunday December 04, 2022 @02:41AM (#33851506)
This discussion was 13 years ago, the project changed alot since then including its approach to self organization.

Tying back to this particular story, parse errors don’t include tokens anymore since PHP 8

Re:WTF Is T_paamayim_nekudotayim (2013) on Sunday December 04, 2022 @02:39AM (#33851488)
Tokens are left out of parse errors since PHP 8 released 2 years ago

Genuine question, Is the software not reliable? How often do you get paged?

We have 33-50% on call and noone complains because not a lot is happening.

Re:EU electricity production by country and source on Sunday November 06, 2022 @06:10AM (#33491374)
I find your statement is slightly misleading, when there are just barely two handful green countries over the whole year and half of them have wind energy with at least 30% share, a few even as primary source.
MySQL had the fix for this many years ago, storage engines :)
