It looks like the data is from OpenStreetMap so maybe you could add them if they’re missing there?

I have fond memories of playing Settlers in split screen this way on the Amiga

It’s not a loading blink, it’s just some text telling you what the service is

Whether 0 is a natural number is still fairly ambiguous; I remember being taught (1990s UK) to be specific about which definition was being used, or to prefer another name such as 'positive integers' or 'non-negative integers'

Domestic solar is huge in Germany

It's good to see more focus on static analysis.

With Phpstan and Psalm already in the space I'd like to see more differentiator features than 'written in Rust' - there are certainly advantages to that, but the disadvantage of not using PHP is it's harder to get contributions from the community using the tool.

Cool project overall!

It's sad how the bloat of '00s enterprise XML made the tech seem outdated and drove everyone to 'cleaner' JSON, because things like XSLT and XPath were very mature and solved a lot of the problems we still struggle with in other formats.

I'm probably guilty of some of the bad practice: I have fond memories of (ab)using XSLT includes back in the day with PHP stream wrappers to have stuff like `<xsl:include href="mycorp://invoice/1234">`

This may be out-of-date bias but I'm still a little uneasy letting the browser do the locally, just because it used to be a minefield of incompatibility

The best analogy is a toaster

Is it really that hard to grill bread? Nope, but you have to pay attention somewhat to stop it burning.

Once you hit a certain volume of usage, an automatic device makes a lot of sense.

A major difference will be that PeachPie produces a compiled deploy artefact, while mainstream PHP is interpreted (albeit with heavy opcode caching and a JIT in production)

I played with this a lot during my degree back in 97-99. A friend used it to render her final year project.

Amazing to see it's still going!

The majority of existing homes and hot water supplies use natural gas

I thought the new GM ICE was going to be developed by Google?

Hm I'm not sure if it's correct but here's my logic (here on mastodon https://social.ciaranmc.com/@ciaran/111850662374227629)

There are N-1 red balls out of 99 remaining, so the probability the next ball is red is (N-1/99).

The possible values of N are evenly distributed [1...100] (we discount the N=0 case because we drew a red ball)

The total probability that the next ball is red is the sum of the individual probabilities divided by cases:

P = SUM[1...100](n-1/99) / 100 = SUM[1...100](n-1) / 99 * 100 = SUM[0...99](n) / 99 * 100 = 4950 / 9900 = 5.0

So red or green are equally likely

A friend was in the beta and demoed it to us in a bar.. it was insane

In the UK you dialled 2580 from your (non smart) cellphone, it would hang up after a few seconds and you’d get an SMS right away with the ID of the track

I've a few DSi in a drawer somewhere... My first question was whether I can turn them into a k8s cluster

> If you’re talking about a web system composed of microservice architecture all running on the same datacenter, perhaps sharing the same database

We have different ideas what 'microservice architecture' means, I guess.

One of the key points of UUIDs is to be able to generate (probably) non-conflicting values without coordination

Blocking blue ticks also works well for this

Yeah car and road-centric culture holds a lot of this stuff back. In any urban area an efficient metro underground/elevated/tram metro system could take up a huge percentage of journeys.

If high-speed electrified rail links exist between cities, they can become much more attractive than long car trips.

On-demand transit can fill a lot of gaps in rural areas (e.g. on-demand bus routing)

It'd be pretty tricky for Russia to invade Germany, based on how things are going in Ukraine

Well it's not capable of dealing with it because they found apple's zoom was unreliable and it contributed to the guy getting off

Cold isn't that much of an issue if you dress appropriately - you're doing cardio work so you can always speed up if you get cold!

They both revolve around a coherent concept of what a 'Unit' is - if you have a (shared, project-level) understanding of a Unit then a 'Unit test' is what tests it, and an 'Integration test' involves >1 Unit

It's sort of extraordinary that the conclusion of the piece is that the book was published and he was paid in full

Poor guy

> There is nothing stopping Apple from making the same device, but giving you the keys to install your own software on it

You... don't think you can install your own software on MacOS?

I could count the number of times my M1 (13") MBP's fans have kicked in over the last year on two hands, and in most cases when I investigate there's some rogue process running thrashing some of the cores (looking at you, Fusion360)

That's not done lazily which is considered bad

>So, singletons. That way you end up with more global state, with all its consequences.

As you point out, the lack of properties solves that. The use of a singleton probably relates to the identity issue

> at this point you may just as well skip the entire object part as I don't see why exactly it's needed for an identity check.

PHP only has 8 types (string, int, bool, float, array, null, resource, object) and they're not likely to be added to (resource is largely deprecated).

Given that, object is the only one that's not likely to be abused by relying on the actual scalar value. Keeping it as a singleton ensures that === will still work (it requires 'same instance')
