• Using named arguments in php8 and up

  That's the first I've heard of it, and I like it! I can't tell you the number of trips to php.net to look at argument order for a function. Is it haystack/needle, or needle/haystack? Of course it could turn into the same thing w/ argument names (is it whole_name or full_name?), but I'm going to use it. Source: 11 months ago

• How to display results from multiple SQL queries in the same table cell?

  Prepare to spend a fair bit of time reading and going back to phptherightway.com and php.net. I've also found this Tutorial from Envato Tuts+ to be quite good. Source: 11 months ago

• Beginner searching for set up resources

  All I want to do with php is to have a recurring navbar on a website. I don't know what to do next. So far I've tried php.net's manual, w3scchool's tutorial and the set up part of first five recommended php tutorials on youtube. I have also spent hours on stackoverflow, which got me even more confused. The more I read, the less nothing makes sense to me and I don't know where the problem is. Source: 11 months ago

• date_format crashing on NULL values after upgrade to PHP 8.x

  I tried looking at the upgrade from 7.4 to 8.0 docs on php.net but I don't see anything regarding any changes to this function. Any ideas? Source: 12 months ago

• Myra & php.net

  Does anyone else have trouble getting into php.net without some human verification page popping up first? Source: 12 months ago

• Bringing more sweetness to ruby with sorbet types 🍦

  If you have been in the Ruby community for the past couple of years, it's possible that you're not a super fan of types or that this concept never passed through your mind, and that's totally cool. I myself love the dynamic and meta-programming nature of Ruby, and honestly, by the time of this article's writing, we aren't on the level of OCaml for type checking and inference, but still, there are a couple of nice... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Notes about the ongoing Perl logo discussion

  An amazing example is Ocaml lang logo / mascot. It might be useful to talk with them to know what was the process behind this work. The About page camel head on Perl dot org header is also a pretty good example of simplification, but it's not a logo, just a friendly illustration, as the O'Reilly camel is. Another notable logo for this animal is the well known tobacco industry company, but don't get me started on... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• What can Category Theory do?

  Haskell and Agda are probably the most obvious examples. Ocaml too, but it is much older, so its type system is not as categorical. There is also Idris, which is not as well-known but is very cool. Source: 11 months ago

• Key takeways from OpenAI CEO's 3-hour Senate testimony, where he called for AI models to be licensed by US govt. Full breakdown inside.

  NEAT is a fascinating algorithm. I've been interested in it ever since SethBling made a video about it playing Mario and this series of experiments about a variant of NEAT that evolves in real-time rather than by-generation. I'm finally getting to be just good enough of a programmer that I am actually considering writing my own (probably in OCaml because there's an unfortunate lack of NEAT implementations in...

• So Hows the Hackathon Going?

  Easier than haskell and easier for writing compilers: https://ocaml.org/. Source: 12 months ago
