   I use PHP for my day job, but the one thing I miss most is compile-time (type) errors. PHP just goes until it can’t go any more. I prefer languages that tell me that I forgot something somewhere, or that a name or signature change broke som

   Can you give examples of how Laravel is playing catch-up in these regards? Backend/front-end integration is very well done with Livewire/Inertia. Simplicity while providing batteries is a given, but even more so with some of the s

   How does this statement relate to the comment you replied to? You suppose only juniors appreciate newer versions of PHP? Or seniors don’t know how to port code bases?

   There are also a lot of companies and people working with modern PHP frameworks. I’ve never had the displeasure to work with code bases older than a couple of years. My experience with PHP/Laravel has been that Laravel is an awesome fr

   Can you elaborate more than just those two words?

   Say that's the case. What's preventing them from implementing similar requirements now?

   I'm genuinely curious as to why this isn't a problem in Europe. I live in the Netherlands and no one I know has ever received even a single call. What makes this a problem in the U.S., but not in Europe?

   This assumes those titles are usable, which they often are not.

    Can we not call that "cute"? That seems needlessly abrasive for people who are genuinely unaware.

    Is there any specific reason for this take?

    by pindab0ter 3y ago

    Oh, definitely. I recently went to Japan and while I enjoyed the culture immensely, I can't help but notice a lot of people really aching for actual conversation. Something the Dutch generally aren't starved of with their direct a

    That's a great story. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm sorry for lumping Ireland in with the UK. I've been to both England, Scotland and Ireland and in my experience the casual interactions were similarly positive in comparison to the Netherlands. I guess I'd notice the diffe

    I have a pet theory. Disclaimer: I'm Dutch. In the UK, it's a faux pas to talk about 'serious topics' (feelings, politics, etc.) with strangers. There is no danger of this happening, and if it does happen you're equ

    I don't see how that's a useful clarification. It's very clearly brighter than 100% SDR white.

    I agree. Not using the actual name is also gate keeping for anyone not familiar enough. The fact that “sama” isn’t even capitalised adds to this.

    How and is 1Password 8 an abomination?

    by pindab0ter 3y ago

    Why is it specified (twice!) that the keychain is extracted in it’s base64 encoded form? That seems like an insignificant technical detail to mention, or am I missing something?

    Not just you. That was very annoying. If something is partially visible, you should be able to scroll down to see all of it. Actually, I'm pretty sure that's one of the best ways to telegraph to someone that there's more to d

    Same in the Netherlands. Except I'm not so sure about the 'minor' part.

    Just out of curiosity, what does ‘(NYSE: DUOL)’ in the title add here?

    This is where you could use a builder pattern where you specify everything that diverges from the default using chained method calls.

    Could you elaborate on "We get what we deserve"? I don't see how we (users of Instagram or social media as a whole, I guess) deserve this.

    It is crazy that a state forbids something without successfully offering legal alternatives for those without means.
