Hey . When you use union and intersection types, do you include spaces?

(RT for reach, etc. This is survey data for @phpfig. If you know of any official policies by major projects already, please note/link in the replies.)

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@Crell it depends. If the class names are long, or if there are many of them, then I put the spaces in between in order to visually scan them faster. There are no fixes rules.

Or... maybe to rephrase: no spaces until my eyes hurt and it looks like a mess.

I just figured out, that I can perfectly work on a standing desk with the baby in my sling, me wrapped like a mummy. Even though I bought the cheapest standing desk mechanism and made the top from an old plywood with a foil on it, it starts to be the best thing I've bought recently. Given the price of ~150EUR in total (if you have the top surface it is some 45 EUR less) I have no idea why companies don't buy these on mass scale.

@djumaka not everyone can stand for a long time 😕of course sitting for prolonged time isn't good, but in my case standing is way worse than sitting intercepted by occasional short walks

My father, even before he got dementia and ended up in a nursing home, could be extremely difficult to deal with. While in the home he’s stopped brushing his teeth to the point where they are rotting and falling out of his mouth. My mother has filed a complaint, the staff at the home are upset (screw them, it’s their fault) and he is now trying to bite anyone who tries to touch his mouth.

This is all kinds of messed up and I miss my pre-dementia dad, difficult person and all.

@grmpyprogrammer it's so devastating.

they are physically the people you've known for decades, but they are actually someone else now.

my late grandfather had Parkinson's and then dementia kicked in. he was back and forth in time, but most of the time just lost somewhere in between, mixing everything up and being paranoid about random (benign) stuff. at some point he had an idea to stop eating because it was "useless".

@grmpyprogrammer my grandmother slipped into dementia as well, following the two strokes not much apart. her memory rolled back by 40+ years. she didn't know who I am any more, or that my mom (her daughter) has passed away. sometimes didn't even know she got married and had children at all. at times it was fun, like being so determined to get dressed for a party, asking for make up and stuff. but, for the most part, it was simply devastating.

@grmpyprogrammer won't spam any more, you've got your own set of sad things going on.

it just sucks. it sucks a lot. be strong. try to not let the current state of affairs cloud the "before" memories 😕

hey i got a table where the primary key iterated over 1mil. its been a while most our projects are tiny.

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii it's all good until you figure out that a rather important table has just run out of room for a PK that's signed int, which is also referenced from similar-sized tables via FKs 😶

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii Yes, I saw it's a bigint, you've done all your could. Wish it's been the same in my case. Instead, we had a war room set up and eventually worked around the problem in a rather disgusting way, but when the prod can't even be placed in a proper maintenance mode, then you grab whatever straw you can hang on to.

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@bobmagicii well yeah, that's dangerously similar 🤷🏼‍♂️

Our live table hit the unsigned int max. But, now we have 2 archives 😄 ...because the original one was so big that it'd take a couple of days or weeks (nobody knows for sure) to upgrade.

I managed to avoid for 10 years, but it’s finally caught up to me, so I hope I’m a Kubernetes god after going through all this required (by job) Kubernetes training.

When do I start honking like a duck goose?

It’s been so long since I did anything with authenticated users, curious about “modern” patterns and standards.

Specifically, an authenticated user wants to do something. What patterns and standards are you using for permissions?

I’m seeing middleware mentions. But, curious what else is out there. Not looking for “use Framework X” and should be testable. Doesn’t need to be web-specific as I’m just looking for patterns and standards.



oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@itsjoshbruce it's the request (route or route group middleware). Authenticated user is set early to the container and then various areas are protected based on the user's roles. Of course, there are more detailed checks later in the flow (e.g. parts of the interface are hidden or different depending on role/permissions). Middleware is stopping the unintended actions, like playing with URLs to access what's not supposed to be seen or actioned on.

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@itsjoshbruce middleware user here, on the most recent project. I can't say I'm particularly proud of it, but it does the job so far

If you were about to start a medium-sized #PHP project, what would you choose as an #ORM, and why? It should be something stable and well maintained. If the business takes off, then there should be no need to replace that layer.

Caveat: imagine that Doctrine and Eloquent haven't been invented yet.

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@thgs it is a side project that will be maintained by me for the foreseeable future. It has some commercial potential I hope, but if it starts growing fruits then I will make sure to bring someone in who will have enough experience and no fear to dive in, regardless of the libraries used. The goal is to start minimal.

Looks like some dbal + data mapper is the way to go, the latter probably something custom.

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@zimzat yeah, on the surface level things seem to be attractive, but as you go further and deeper, facepalms emerge. Some dbal & a custom data mapper will probably be the start.

I use Doctrine on my day-to-day work, and have used Eloquent before. Eloquent I liked up to some point, but can't say that for Doctrine. I wish I had more time to build something like Eloquent but with less magic and bloat (simple to use but not trying to do everything imaginable)

There's not enough money in the world you can give me to work on your custom #php framework.

@sirber come on, there's a price for every kind of work 🙃

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@maxalmonte14 they either have no idea what they're doing, or have a very good idea*

  • by not using a framework I don't mean not using any components that may be a part of one. just not a full-blown "off the shelf" framework.

F**ks sake they changed something pretty fundamental between UE 5.4 Preview and UE 5.4 Final - the ability to have multiple objects in an asset file, which SUDS relies on - the dialogue and string table are in the same asset; now the string table is gone.

I was worried they might do this because they started hiding them in 5.3 (not a problem) so I tested 5.4 Preview but everything was fine. Now it's completely broken in 5.4 Final, every single dialogue line is <MISSING STRING TABLE ENTRY> 😠

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@sinbad I have no idea what kind of stack is that, but the string appears to have a tag that is not properly closed. Could there be something discarding the whole string because of that?

Ah, the good old "pubic function" typo hit me again.

It took me at least 30 seconds to figure out why the PHPStorm indenting was off

oliver,
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

@Skoop you're not utilizing live templates, e.g. the bulit-in "fnc[TAB]" to never again worry about pubic issues?

One of the annoyances found in the codebase I'm currently busy with is finding many traits that are used in one single class. Those traits have literally zero other places they could be used at, so... why? Just because someone else did it, you don't have to the same thing. Also, don't do that if you think it just may be needed in the future. Do it only if that's really, really needed now.

oliver, to random
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

Let's see how many versions of I need to go back to, in order to up my containers under 5s again. This last upgrade to 4.25.2 is unbearable, it takes ~3 minutes for something that used to be a couple of seconds (no builds etc).

Wondering if that's something specific to my setup or the progressive degradation is noticeable for others as well?

Week #6 of work on bringing a huge #PHP project (~1M LoC excluding /vendor) from PHP 7.2 to 8. Right now halfway through its composer dependencies.

Today I discovered something that really blew my mind - see the ticket that got spawned after the investigation.

How was your day? :-D

oliver, to php
@oliver@phpc.social avatar

A bit of a rant about some composer packages.

It's such a burden do deal with those that bump the PHP runtime requirement up to ^8.0, and also drop the one for 7.x in the same release, with no actual changes that would really make the package depend on 8+. Literally zero buffer for the transitional period which would allow projects to sit on 2 chairs a bit.
