In the PHP world I'd argue most developers don't use an IDE, let alone a debugger. Setting a debugger up with Xdebug or ZendDebugger is also not easy for those less experienced with setting up the actual PHP environment.

Speaking of iCloud, Apple now is able to make money when your machine dies in two expensive ways: large capacity iCloud subscriptions and a brand new machine. Now that's courage.

That and Apple being able to introduce security via obscurity means we'll probably never see a non-Apple OS on the platform.

The problem with the T2 is if it fails in any way, you now lose access to your all of your data and your motherboard is rendered useless. At best it turns your computer into a large piece of e-waste. It's also a fairly powerful ARM CPU

One of the biggest problems with absolute data loss for current Apple machines is the T2 chip dying.

by pathartl 6y ago
It's fine that Apple is moving to ARM. It's not okay that this is going to be a proprietary, locked down CPU. T2 has shown that Apple customers no longer own their hardware.

An actual debugger. I started as a PHP/WP dev and spent many hours running results through echo or var_dump. IMO the debugger is the absolute first thing you need to learn about the platform you're writing for. Without it, you&#x2

I get master/slave being potentially offensive if you apply it to history, but blacklist/whitelist etymology was never related to race at all. Blacklist seems to come from a more religious perspective with people without good soul

I'm glad that EA is doing this. I certainly don't think we should expect it, but I hope releasing source becomes standard. With more and more games moving to SaaS and microtransaction-heavy, I feel like the core of the game doesn&

You mean they didn't just use Fancybox like everyone else? /s But yeah, that's annoying. We've had lightboxes for like 15 years now and people still can't get it right.

Interesting to hear. I haven't gotten the new interface yet, so time will tell. I think we need to shift back to 4:3 displays. Widescreen is great for consuming content, but we lose so much vertical space.

In my experience light mode will work fine on things like e-paper displays, but when you have an emissive or transmissive display the bright light can be straining. I also feel like dark mode highlights text more, making it easier to identi

Great write up. Glad to see they're making some changes as the current interface still feels like 2005 with the main feed at 500px wide. And as always, dark mode is welcome. I really hope this helps performance on the site. In the past

> Why does the industry use things like 12m pixels to describe resolution? I found it is very difficult to translate it into maximum width and height. Because to the average consumer, 12MP is easier to understand compared to 4000x3000px.
