Switzerland would first need to be part of the European Union to be able to be part of the Euro Currency region. They voted against this in 1992 and again in 2001. I am not swiss myself so take this with a grain of salt, but a quick researc

You can get a free license if you are part of an open-source project: https://www.jetbrains.com/opensource/ And if you are an individual, the license is just 89 USD. If you are an individual contractor, then maybe you

prohibitively expensive? I think you haven't thought this through. Already Chairs, Desk and Rent for every engineer is more expensive than 200 USD every year. Their salary is many hundred times 200 USD. I pay more for coffee and water

If you upgrade your application to 7.4, all the code doesn't have typed properties. Only when you then add them after the upgrade you should have tests for that or a static analyzer that tells you the changes you make are correct.

I am quite happy with Insync, which implements a dropbox like client on top of Google Drive and works on Linux.

The article makes mention of this, specifically customer support people are benefiting from this, which according to the article would have a 50k/year salary otherwise.

It is not used alot in modern code, the only use case that I think is reasonably ok nowadays from and used that way is template engines or config caches in development mode, that usually compile template code to generated PHP files, but eva

Joe (the author of this post and pthreads extension) has been working on a new threading extension in the last months that looks extremely promising and more along the lines of goroutines than Java style threading: - https://gith

That is not entirely correct. Swoole already takes away a lot of the CPU heavy code, like HTTP protocol parsing by providing it in its C extension. For one of my PHP extensions I benchmarked the C level implementation to be 5x faster than J

PHP hosters have been doing this for 20 years. You have 100s of customers on a single machine, running with a single Apache/PHP process (and child forks), and only if that Host+URL of a customer is requested that PHP code actually gets

Not sure if this qualifies as intermediate representation in the LLVM sense, but PHP has opcodes already, it is not fully interpreted anymore (like it was in PHP 3). These opcodes are used for optimizations and cached for the lifetime of th

By that definition it is not stealing to take something that is unguarded, isn't locked or surrounded by a fence from a neighbors lawn, or a department store.

Hah, but I am the op :-) I didn't want it to come out negative. I don't think my critique is unsubstantial though. Essentially we switched Slack with Basecamp, which also offers a chat part, so you can replicate the same behavior,

Author here. I have never used IRC in a company, so I can't compare. Slack is the topic, because we used Slack. If we have had used IRC or HipChat or Microsoft Teams, then maybe we have come to the same conclusion. Yes, summarization i

Hey, these all sound like very good hints on how to use Slack, especially the consensus on decision making. Maybe we have used Slack wrong, but especially the context was important for me and Slack threads are hard to enforce, you can &quot

We don't stop communicating since we unslacked though. Instead we now moved discussions more to Github PRs+issues and Basecamp. So its still possible to read up, but it feels more structured around certain tasks.

Yes, i don't doubt that Slack works for companies. It doesn't work for our company and our value of trying to maximize uninterrupted work time.

I don't know, Github + Basecamp are also used by fully remote teams and they don't focus on realtime chat functionality. Some kind of tool is necessary for sure, but different tools set a different focus to provide a solution for

a mix, "nearmote" :-) We all live in the same city, but everyone works remote a few hours or days per week. Also our workdays don't always match (early risers vs night owls).

That is something I always wished Slack had. Enable DND mode and then when you return from it, a way to review a summary of everything what happened. But individual chat messages are hard to aggregate for such a summary.
