I get paid for writing PHP code, and the quality of the official PHP documentation worries me. I've searched for several of the changes introduced by the 8.0 version, and I could not find them. For instance, the page titled "Funct

In my opinion, Firefox imposes complex constraints on casual developers, and web-ext is part of it. I have a few web extensions I wrote in order to customize a few web sites (automate tasks, alter display, etc). After a Firefox update, they

The release notes describe how to test authentication without SHA-1 on a SSH server. In my case, it was more useful to check the algorithm of my SSH keys to check if they were to be obsolete: $ ssh-keygen -l -f MyKeyFile 2048 SHA2
