Will you look at it. Another Wordpress “killer”. Wordpress has that market share because it can be easily installed in a wide variety of servers and because of its plugin ecosystem…

I said exactly this a few days ago elsewhere. It’s disappointing that they (and often other American companies) seem to restrict their “respect” and morals to Americans only. Or ma…

Omg yes finally someone acknowledges this. I am always pointing out how react and jsx are a port of XHP. This is why react was class based at first (because php is a class based OO…

Under that definition any css class is a shorthand for inline styles

Thanks for proving the point. I haven’t even seen that element rendered and I already have a good mental picture of what it is and what it looks like.

Because button is literally anything clickable. Not everything is a boxed button. You cannot just globally add a style to and call it a day. For example, an upvote (^) button, a cl…

And thank god (or Adam) for that. Tailwind makes me much more productive.

Correct. Every char outside of a php tag is treated as output, like in a templating engine. So if you start with spaces in a non template file (class definition etc) the spaces wil…

Speaking of php slack was built with php until they followed Facebook with Hack (which is essentially a modern flavor of php)

Really? That’s actually a very narrow view to think that AIs need to rely on code examples of some third party forum. AIs will be good enough to understand the docs and source code…

> the docs don't cut it Yet. By the time stackoverlow shuts down, AIs will be powerful enough to take data from docs or just from the source code alone. I mean the new version of o…

How many of those are actual active users though? I created my account when chatgpt 3.5 was launched because it was a novelty but haven’t used it in a long time. I use Claude and G…

Would it though? I’ve been thinking about this for a while. What about introducing a new file extension for this? Something like MyClass.p so that .php is for classic syntax and .p…

Your second option was rejected years ago I believe. The pipes were designed to work alongside this rfc that was supposed to be in this new version (8.5) but due to time constraint…

They didn’t say it was the fastest. Just that the language per se is fast enough.

Nope. Php is sufficiently fast.

Yeah it’s really good. A few weeks ago, some third party script was messing with click events of my react buttons so I figured I should just add a mousedown even to capture the cli…

Agreed. People are being too harsh in this post
