I finally had the time to finalize #paraunit 2.12.0, which brings @phpunit@phpc.social compat to 13.1! It took a lot of time because I had limited effort, and PHPUnit under the hood bumps php-code-coverage to a new major (v14) that required a bit of rework, along with dropping support for all previous versions... I tried cross-compat, but it was too complicated! Happy testing! https://github.com/facile-it/paraunit/releases/tag/2.12.0

@ramsey@phpc.social I'm no expert, but this hypothesis seems a bank run, but on the global stock market... It smells pretty bad to me 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_run

@galtzo@ruby.social I think that "rock and a hard place" is the situation in which the majority of us feels right now, and contributes to the overall scenario. I personally feel there too, and as a father I'm only a bit less crushed than @Crell@phpc.social probably only because my son old enough to start teaching him about things like these. My hope is that the bubble will burst soon, making the job market bounce (removing the hard place) and skirting the AI fad to only where it's really useful.

@edorian @mbeccati @joepferguson @php congrats!! 🥳

@ramsey @brendt probably because it's idempotency on behavior, not content? Stripe does it to avoid double-charging for the same order/product, but the answer could very well be different (think timestamps, payment status)..

@float13@masto.hackers.town @Gankra@toot.cat this is a mnemonic to distinguish covariance and contravariance, the two properties of arguments and return types of an inherited method signature. When you extend a class and its methods, you can widen the argument types (contravariance - think Animal VS Dog extends Animal) but only tighten the return type (covariance - Dog VS Animal)

@LeedsPHP @shochdoerfer @phpugmrn Grusp 🇮🇹 is trying it out.. Don't know yet if it's good.

@klabauterjan@phpc.social @waterkip@defcon.social since it's a downgrade from 8.4 to 8.2, and since newest Laravel requires 8.3, that would be... messy 😅

@tvbeek @phpunit @phpstan @phpmd if there is, I would love to have a merge feature, to leverage it inside #paraunit

@galtzo@ruby.social @Crell@phpc.social @SenseException@phpc.social yeah, but what if the bullet costs too much / more than what you can save with it? RE: https://phpc.social/@alessandrolai/116002647637385509

@brendt maybe composer could implement a "replacedBy" option, so that polyfills could declare themself out? Still required, but the SAT understand that it's no longer needed. It could also be useful when you want to migrate a library to different vendor/namespace..

@joepferguson @ocramius @mbeccati

If you are based in an extra-EU country or you are a company based in EU with a valid VAT-ID, you can get your elePHPant without paying VAT. Please send us an e-mail to info@grusp.org with all your details and do not purchase this product.

@galtzo@ruby.social @Crell@phpc.social @flowcontrol@phpc.social that's probably true, but I still see that money is also the biggest bottleneck of this technology, so it seems a race to the bottom to me...

@scy this probably make sense for PHP because dependencies are shared. In Node, as an example, they are not, so no interference is normally possible.

@tastapod @adredish still, it seems a "what's the question?" issue here: do I want to know if MS is doing a good job? Maybe, as a (paying?) end user, I definitely do not care and I just want a (very) reliable service. And that chart shows exactly that.

@klimpong@chaos.social @ocramius@mastodon.social woha... Automerge is nice, IF the checks are respected 😂

@waterkip@defcon.social @klabauterjan@phpc.social you did it wrong. create-project creates the composer.json file from scratch, you already created it. You could do the reverse, and run composer update again to check that all the needed versions are compatible with the required platform. But, in any case, having the correct runtime when working IMO is a hard requirement.

@waterkip@defcon.social in your console recording, you created a composer.json with the platform settings, then you issued composer create-project.

That fails right away because it works only in an empty folder, it's a scaffolding command. What do you want to achieve, alongside forcing the PHP version?

In general, I would advise you to get a local dev environment with the right PHP version, not to fake it (use Docker, maybe?)

@waterkip@defcon.social now I got it sorry. Could you have used composer config --global platform.php 8.2?

@waterkip@defcon.social again: create-project does not consider a local composer.json because it expects to create a new one itself. As for the version problem, you need to require a lower Laravel version explicitly while invoking create-project.

@saramg@fosstodon.org woha, so envious! I currently don't have the space (nor probably the time) for something like this!

@shaedrich@mastodon.online @michael@mstdn.thms.uk @Crell@phpc.social but common - well, average - is what LLMs excel at. Pun intended.

@dunglas@mastodon.social this doesn't make sense to me... Aren't headers name case insensitive by standard?

@Crell@phpc.social possibly devContainers could solve all of them in a single step? They are a bit tricky to set up, but once done it works!

@Crell@phpc.social with devContainers you can run the core of the IDE inside the container, so all is localhost, like vscode

@OndrejMirtes@phpc.social compared to the people that was forced to write assembly, yes we are! Hamilton landing the Apollo with kilobytes of memory, or even shuffling entire games in NES/Atari cartridges was one order of magnitude more clever of what we churn out today. Granted, we push out 5-10 order of magnitude MORE software, but surely not more clever or better. @gullevek@famichiki.jp

@afilina@phpc.social I routinely patrol our Percona Query Analytics at $dayJob for this exact reason, I often find slow queries with easy fixes... After years like that, my colleagues fixed a lot of stuff, and the other day they took a monster with 2 nested sub queries, simply split it in half (1 query + 1 query with IN(...)), and obtained a 90% reduction in load and execution time in the core query of their business line! It was glorious!

@klabauterjan@phpc.social @waterkip@defcon.social possibly. It's always possible that the downgrade gets stuck due to cross-package downgrades, but it's less likely this way..

@remi@phpc.social @s_hulard@mamot.fr I disagree with this. It's not a workaround, it's intended. It comes from the same practice being applied to PHP packages, where we pull the source directly, but I still think it should be applied here too. It's a few Mb, but pulled and pulled again thousands of times it adds up and it's useless, since often they get packed inside stuff like Docker containers. If I need to read that, I can still go to the source and look at it.

@tobiaskoengeter@sueden.social switch to PIE! https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pie.intro.php

@paranoiq@witter.cz @flowcontrol@phpc.social exactly! I knew this because I leveraged it in the opposite direction in this small command wrapper that I wrote years ago: https://github.com/facile-it/terminable-loop-command
