That’s what debugging sessions in the shower are for.

Maybe a tomcat?

I often wonder if that 4 or 5 year old girl who became the youngest contributor to the Linux kernel went on to develop software and if she will put it on her résumé.

I’m not just a PHP developer but also a PHP developer.

One of my greatest achievments in life was seeing someone explain my contribution in a blog post on PHP 8.1 or 8.2.

Depending on your definition people actually have come back from the dead. Friend of mine for one. I’m lucky to live in that timeline.

You are not dating Angelina Jolie because she doesn’t know you and is involved with someone else entirely. While looks might make for an easier first impression personality is much more important in the long run. Believe me, from one 1 to another.

Everything is easier in PHP!

<?php

/**
 * This increments $i
 * 
 * @param int $i The number to increment.
 *
 * @return int The incremented number.
 */
function increment(int $i) {
  $factor = 1;
  $adjustment = 0;
  if ($i < 0) {
    $factor *= -1;
    $adjustment = increment(increment($adjustment));
  }
  $i *= $factor;
  $a = array_fill(1, $i, 'not_i');
  if ($i === 0) {
    array_push($a, 'not_i');
  }
  array_push($a, $i);
  return array_search($i, $a, true) * $factor + $adjustment;
}

You monster!

Now, what happens when one uses different cases in the domain part?

Nah, Gmail does the exact opposite of what their server does. Gmail is extra lenient with how an address may look. While their server is extra strict.

There is no such thing* as a UTF-8 file. It’s just text encoded in some way. It’s only a UTF-8 file if everything is encoded as UTF-8 which it’s evidently not.

You can even tell MySQL to export perfectly valid UTF-8 text encoded as ISO 8859-1 to import into a UTF-8 table without any troubles (maybe apart from stuff that could not be encoded in ISO 8859-1).

*Yes, technically there could be a BOM at the beginning but almost no tool uses that and most get confused by it. And it would still not force any data written to it to be UTF-8.

Encoding is hard. Especially when your data comes from web forms or CSV files. And MySQL needed three tries to get UTF-8 right and you need DB admins and often programmers as well who know this. So not everything MySQL calls UTF-8 actually is.

And often enough it took a long while for something to actually reach UTF-8 status. And idiots not converting the data leads to databases with a mixture of encodings.

Just sort by top of the year.

If you want to appear older online you should write properly. Proper capitalisation and sentences make your text easier to read. As it is they look like an uninterrupted stream of consciousness.

This might also help you offline. Try to structure your thoughts before giving them to the world. This takes time but should go a long way on making you seem like you got your shit together.

Don’t know about “good”. But I started watching a playthrough the other day and had to stop because the “cool” dialogue was very obnoxious and overwhelming. I physically couldn’t keep watching. Sure, that’s also due to my disability but I very rarely have that just with voiced dialogue.

Yeah, I have a ton of ideas for improvements but no energy to implement them. My initial concept included aliens you’d aim your poo stream at to shoot them down.

Awesome!

Hopefully not. Diarrhea is used to flush bacteria and poisons out of the body. I guess if the body would regain the water it could also regain the bacteria.

Just drink a lot of water and let your body do the work it needs to do.

In case you question my credentials, I’m the developer of Diarrhea 4.

Doesn’t work with every game, though. Some have DRM that depends on the launcher and/or authentication.

Minecraft is special. The launcher sets up a bunch of Java stuff and other game configurations. And it downloads updates and handles authentication. Technically you don’t need it, but it makes it a little easier for the developers and the users. There are also third party launchers with additional functionality like downloading mods.

Other games often pretend they need that stuff when in reality they just want some more tracking that is not in the game itself.

Only one character does the talking and you have to actively listen in to hear any of it.

I just remembered Star Wars: The Old Republic. There everyone could participate and it would select randomly who would say the next line. That was nice.
