UK folks should sign this petition (which I know never makes a difference, because why would the government actually listen to people?) but worth a shot. Starting to see effects of this roll out and it's making me angry 🙄 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... #OSA #OnlineSafetyAct #UK #UKPolitics

The mago-analyzer PR is up! 🚀 It's still a work-in-progress before we merge, but all the details are inside. For the brave who wish to suffer, the code is available for your viewing pleasure. 🔗 github.com/carthage-sof... #php #rust #mago #staticanalysis 🐘🦀

I've been working on an DBGP (Xdebug) step-debugging TUI. It allows you to step forwards and backwards, shows inline values and has vim-like key bindings. This release includes a macos build. github.com/dantleech/de... #php #rust #xdebug

Why would I sign a contract and then ignore it? This feature seems odd, and not sure why so many people are voting yes. wiki.php.net/rfc/optional...

Meta won a legal victory on Wednesday against a former employee who published an explosive, tell-all memoir, as an arbitrator temporarily prohibited the author from promoting or further distributing copies.

Spent the day improving my workflow! Introducing the "wsdl inspect:ui" command which opens up a TUI to inspect what information we know about your WSDL. #php #soap
