Re:Upcoming Critical PHP Security Release on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @01:30AM (#50176434)
There's a pretty huge UCaaS software suite that serves millions of seats across the US that runs on PHP 7.4.

Nice. Looks like Kokoro finally has some competition.

Thank you so much for building this. I've been wanting something just like this and I'm trying it now and it's amazing. I was struggling with vterm and now this might become my daily driver.

I like this guy

It’s not so irrelevant if your org is stuck on older versions of PHP.
Re:PHP's Oddities on Sunday May 24, 2026 @09:21AM (#48257092)
So it became sane as soon as late 2020.
Re:PHP's Oddities on Saturday May 23, 2026 @10:58PM (#48253920)
PHP 8.3.6:

$ php -r 'var_dump("01234" == "1234");' bool(true)

$ php -r 'var_dump("09223372036854775808" == "9223372036854775808");' bool(false)

This semi-quantized version targets the Jetson Orin Nano, but only comes with a simple inference engine.

So random seeing her mentioned here today. I just discovered her yesterday, saw a Youtube short where she's operating a Eurorack synth at Switched On in Austin, TX. It's a cool little synth shop that's worth checking out if you're ever in town. Looks like they've moved locations recently though.

Very neat. As a heavy user of recordlinkage, this is definitely on my radar.
Re:Thoughts on Mechanical Keyboards and the ZSA Moonlander on Saturday September 27, 2025 @01:39PM (#45397832)
Hey I have cubital tunnel and also have an ulnar deviation in my left arm. Have you tried ergos with low profile keyboards? ZSA also makes a model called the Voyager, which is the best keyboard that I’ve ever had. Might be worth checking out. Like you with the Kinesis, the Voyager has been able to keep me in the game.

Chatterbox is also worth a try.
Re:PHP 8.5 Adds Pipe Operator: What it means on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @11:24AM (#44799223)
The $ symbol gave me RSI as a dev just starting out. I will never forgive PHP for that. Such an unergonomic syntax.
Re:Young Graduates Are Facing an Employment Crisis on Wednesday July 16, 2025 @11:46PM (#44589501)
If they’re talking about this now, it’s been going on for a while. Just finally reaching the public consciousness now where it’s a common subject on the news.

How many hours of interview prep did you include?
Re:Senior Developer Skills in the AI Age on Thursday April 03, 2025 @08:47PM (#43577194)
Yep, I've seen type hinting even be helpful without a type checker in python. Just as a way for devs to tell each other what they intend on passing. Even when a small percent of the hints are incorrect, having those hints there can still pay off.
The "Comparison with Related Libraries" section is notably missing comparison against aeon and sktime, which also aim to be the kind of holistic time-series library like Merlion.
Re:Turning the Database Inside-Out on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @12:06PM (#42854775)
Yeah, like 15th century old.
Re:Turning the Database Inside-Out on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @11:56AM (#42854635)
XTDB (inspired by datomic) also has bitemporal queries.
Re:The Simplicity of Prolog on Sunday January 26, 2025 @01:07AM (#42828095)
To each their own.

Others would say datalog elegant and makes it easy to compose statements whereas SQL has an ugly syntax. I mean, ORMs were invented to try to avoid writing SQL but they too have their own problems.

Re:Ask HN: How would you chunk a large Excel file? on Sunday May 26, 2024 @11:02PM (#40487232)
Can wall clock time be proportional to file size or is a parallelized approach needed?
Re:Ask HN: Why are PDFs still heavily used? on Wednesday March 08, 2023 @01:49PM (#35073126)
Paper is useful for the individual but using it in an organization context certainly causes problems.
I wonder if you could build an OWL 2 graph with this.
What makes you say that? From what I’ve seen they all use the same actuator.
I’ve wondered the same. The reason is that they aren’t waterproof and water leaks onto the circuit board.

I recommend buying the cheapest option and getting a warranty with them. I wish Philips could just figure out how to waterproof them properly instead of creating so much waste.

If you get organized about building the domain, such as using an ontology, this can be mitigated.

Have you taken a look at Wolframs ToE? I found it pretty intriguing.
Re:I wish I was a little bit taller on Thursday September 15, 2022 @12:35PM (#32854565)
But that alone doesn’t explain the full gap.

It’s just another example of modern virtue signaling. YT male evil. Got it. We know.
