Questions for people who regularly code in PHP

1. What version of PHP are you running on your local?
2. What do you love about PHP?
3. What do you wish other developers knew about PHP?
4. Do you write tests? What kind of tests?

I occasionally test my home page in a text browser. Lynx was my first web browsing experience, way back in 1995 (through the local library). I started prepending "IMAGE" to the alt text so it was clear what was being described.

Not ideal: the light/dark mode switch renders as a nonsense string with a checkbox toggle (not pictured). Otherwise, it's very straightforward and loads quickly and happily.

Is there any good resources for creating #cli apps using #nodejs?

I need to build a cli interface for a project I'm working on. It's written using Javascript and I don't want to introduce any other programming language to that project.

TIL: the Linux command `basename` also deal with HTTP URLs and would return just the filename of given URL.

Why `rm -r .` doesn’t do what I want it to do?

Hace un mes, pasé por un nuevo sistema operativo y experimenté la amargura de no poder instalarlo sin depender de un navegador con soporte para JS a pesar de que este nuevo sistema operativo aspira a ser super minimalista. Luego, tras instalar Void Linux vía chroot usando tan solo mtm + links para seguir la documentación, y meter comandos en una pantalla en modo texto dividida en dos, he vuelto a enamorarme de este maravillosa distribución.

Well damn. I guess there are.

Still a huge WIP but it's starting to look promising... #fediverse #cli #linux #ratatui #rust
I finally managed to get scrolling working in my Fediverse command line client! Next step: add "infinite scroll" behavior.

It's been a minute (almost 3 years, but who's counting?), but I've just released a new version of broken-links, to add a user agent to it (thank you @mike_k for the suggestion).

It's a link checker - give it a starting URL, and it'll recursively crawl all pages with that domain, checking all internal and external links found.

Install via `cargo install broken-links` or see the release page for other options: https://codeberg.org/kdwarn/broken-links/releases/tag/v0.2.4

Hot take: you don't need any #shell other than #bash

This has been my new RSS reader for the last couple of weeks, and I'm not looking back.

Newsboat.

I think I won't bother anymore with writing (bash) shell scripts that are longer than a few lines. I find the syntax too unintuitive and there are better programming languages like PHP that produce more readable code.

In the last two hours, I translated a bash shell script with ~250 lines to a PHP CLI script. The latter is nearly 400 lines long but definetly more readable and it also has more user-friendly output.

Does anyone know of a good tool (either #CLI, #python, or #Rustlang) for converting wav files to compressed formats?
