How long should it take somebody before they can be someone? he/him

I love how Fox had arguably the perfect score bug in 2020 and has spent every Super Bowl they broadcast making it worse.

Ok, where are y’all hosting your email? iCloud and Mailgun keep silently breaking on each other, and I’m not sure my forwarding is working either. Would love to support multiple custom domains.

After seeing from @dame and @manton what a premium .blog domain costs, I feel really lucky they didn’t consider “smol” a desirable word. https://micro.blog/dame https://micro.blog/manton https://smol.blog/

Back again with another #php question: I’ve put classes that exist and don’t exist through this loop, but I’m still only testing 3/4 code branches. Any ideas?

Happy New Year! May you find what you’re looking for, or at least get closer. 😄

Just read a detailed post about GitHub Copilot by David Chisnall. It reminds me of when I almost failed a college math class because I thought I was done with homework. When I got to the tests, it was my first time really doing the problems and I struggled. The doing itself was and is important. https://infosec.exchange/@david_chisnall/113690087142854474

Anyone got experience with CSS widows and orphans? I’m trying to have a 3-line paragraph go entirely to one page, but a 4-line split evenly. Right now a 4-line paragraph will put the first three on the first page (orphans: 3) and the last line on the next (violating widows: 2). Help? https://codepen.io/oddevan/pen/PwYpRzN

Thought I had found a clever way to auto-generate endpoints… except it depended on each one having a different static property which doesn’t work in PHP. TIL. https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.anonymous.php#123605

This is your annual reminder not to sleep on the Hallmark movie Round and Round. It has everything: nerd references, time loops, and Vic Michaelis. I’m not even being ironic; we literally sought out this movie to rewatch it.

Wow, Google, “updating” is carrying a lot of weight here. I don’t remember you “updating” the price after we lost MLB network or our regional sports network.

Well, I was all ready to replace my getId() function in the interface with PHP 8.4’s new support for properties… except all my value objects are readonly. It’s fine if there’s an $id property, but if the ID is derived and I want to use a virtual property declaration, I get this instead:

"Property hooks are incompatible with readonly properties."

What are y’all’s thoughts on changing the pronouns in a cover? For example:

"We say love is a temple

Love, the higher law

But we ask them to enter

And then we make them crawl

And I can’t keep holding on

To what you’ve got

When all you’ve got is hurt…"

I’m still on the lookout for my next job. If you know of a good team looking for a creative engineer, hit me up! Full details on my CV, but I’m especially good with PHP/WordPress and Svelte with Typescript.

Automakers of America, here’s what I want in an electric:

200+ mile range

NACS charging

Fits in unconventional parking spots like an actual small car and not the compact SUVs that every electric seems to be these days!

There’s some graffiti that was spotted in Clackmas, Oregon that I keep coming back to…

"If you promise to stay alive just a little bit longer I promise that we are going to make this world a place worth living in by any means necessary. I ain’t giving up. I swear."

I’m still not giving up.

I am CACKLING at this news. A pinnacle example of “it’s not about the money, it’s about justice.”

The families of Sandy Hook victims agreed to a lower payout so that InfoWars—domains, socials, merch, mailing lists, etc—could be sold…

Getting one last Twitter archive before I purge as much as I’m able. It’s a symbolic gesture more than anything, but X is getting toxic to the point of not wanting to be associated with it at all now.

Sometimes it takes a few days for us to process how it went, but it puts things in perspective. In this case, an excellent essay by @gruber tying together stories about a spouse/parent dying and the election, and how, in a way, life goes on.
