Re:Upcoming Critical PHP Security Release
on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @06:11AM (#50178431)
I took my services offline last night, wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise. There has been core PHP members that have outright said the mitigation's currently doing the rounds won't help and even cloudflare can only mitigate against known attack payloads.

My second born didn't sleep through for over 6 years, from the run of mill crying as a baby to horrendous night terrors multiple times a night, every night. I've never felt right since and always joked that if I had my brain scanned they would see damage.

Bit of context. Deleting after import is unlikely to have zero'd out the data on the SD - so using photorec would have allowed them to quickly and easily recover their pictures from the SD card.

From a quick skim of the repo it looks to be injecting phptop_hook.php into any call to a php file with auto_prepend_file in php.ini. phptop_hook.php generates some stats on how long it took the php file to process and stores this via error_log() which can then be queried with the perl script phptop.

The thing with programming, to do it well, you need to fully understand the problem and then you implement the solution expressing it in code. AI will be used to create code based on a deficit of clear understanding and we will end up with a hell of a lot of garbage code. I foresee the industry demand for programmers sky rocketing in the future, as companies scramble to unfuck the mountains of shit code they lash up over the coming years. It's just a new age of copy paste coders.
Re:SQL NULLs Are Weird
on Friday January 10, 2025 @06:36AM (#42654775)
To me, "Unknown" almost implies the possiblity of a value, whereas I've always thought of NULL as being an absence of a value.
edit: an empty string, false, 0 are all values.

I'm not sure where you've got this idea from. Even "new builds" in the UK, with there questionable building methods (which you may be referring to?) are mostly insulation and incredibly efficient to heat.

Re:SQL as API
on Monday December 25, 2023 @09:17AM (#38762780)
The way the JSON filters work would be directly coupled to the JSON fix notation and SQL infix notation so it's directly coupled to SQL and doesn't really require a standard, imho.
Re:SQL as API
on Monday December 25, 2023 @08:52AM (#38762577)
It's "prefix" notation .. if you search something like "prefix vs infix vs postfix programming languages" it should return a decent explanation. For my case it's personal choice more than anything.. also easier for me to write a VM for.
Re:SQL as API
on Monday December 25, 2023 @03:19AM (#38760812)
I've a similar way of interacting with the API of my product but instead keep everything prefix notation (lispy) so for example;
"and": [ { "property": "material", "operator": "equals", "value": "carbon" },
Would be;
["and", ["=", "material", "carbon"], ...]

He ditched a plane on purpose for youtube likes and you think he paid the price through ridicule - but I'm not making any sense, OK.

My empathy is with the people who have their lives destroyed by reckless idiots pulling these "stupid prank"s for likes.. common sense says society doesn't appreciate this nonsense so deterrent is the only way to deal with it - but if you have as better idea I'm sure myself and the world are listening.

Re:YouTuber who staged plane crash faces up to 20 years jail

Someone crashing a plane on purpose doesn't amount to terrorism - there would need to be a political motivation as well.
Edit: Also the post says up to 20 years .. not sure why you've become fixated on it being simply 20. People dropping planes out of the sky for likes need to be made an example of imo, and I personally would be happy to see him locked up for life as a deterrent to others. The lengths people are going to for likes is frightening.

Probably not; if the disks exist they're almost thirty years old, and probably best kept running in some corner of my memory.
I came across an old box of 3.5 discs a few years back that I had stored away since the early 90's. I recovered them using ddrescue to create images using a cheap USB floppy drive.. was great fun.
