If getting off is coming before, you might need to talk to your doctor.

I said just before I get off, so everything is in order.

Winter in Texas

@error It's a nice day here in my part of TX, but it's only 68.6°F inside, and it feels like maybe low 70s outside. (Accuweather says 70 currently.)

@HardwareGeek Good grief, you are really what we call "Warmduscher" in Germany.
My appartment is set to 19 °C (i.e. 66 °F).
-
@Rhywden No, I'm really not. Not at all.
Warmduscher are a London-based post-punk band formed in 2014 and currently signed to The Leaf Label.

Sure?
Trivia
The name "Warmduscher" is German and literally translated means "warm showerer" (somebody who showers with warm water). The made-up term colloquially refers to somebody who is perceived to be a bit too soft for something specific or not hard enough for life in general, a wimp or a pansy. It would be used as in: "You're a warmduscher, mate!"
-
@Rhywden I prefer hot showers — almost, but not quite, painfully hot.

Status: Wondering how much margin there is, given my current physiological condition, between having enough caffeine to stay awake and enough caffeine to induce jitters and/or cardiac irregularities.
Despite above-average for me caffeine intake, I have failed to achieve any of the above results.

Status: Spent most of the day re-learning Swift, and then found out that someone else's commit broke the develop branch in a totally way. But then again, it's PHP, so it's 's all the way down.
Realizing that it wasn't my fault (I hadn't screwed up my local environment with a bad merge) took about 2 hours. Then 40 minutes manually bisecting the commit list with
git reset --hard
to figure out the bad commit.Oh, and basically all my family back in Idaho has COVID. Including my dad, who's the one most at risk (not young, type 2 diabetes and other health problems).

@Benjamin-Hall Cause of the breakage? An extra newline. Seriously.
<? //blah blah blah ?>
is not the same as
<? //blah blah blah ?>
And that breaks everything when included as part of something else.

Welcome to PHP.
In a PHP file, everything outside of the PHP tags is considered static output, so it get sent to the browser as-is.
Hint: Never add the closing tag if there is no HTML to output after it

Yeah. I'm thinking I should push that as policy.

15 years ago, I was one of the main devs on an open-source project where the coding style required omitting the closing tag for this very reason.
Current workplace mandates the closing tag, and we've fallen in this trap once or twice.
-
@PleegWat said in The Official Status Thread:

Why?
Really, who decided this?
And does this include files with code only, files which aren't output anything?
-
@Zecc We have all of 1 file which uses PHP as a template language. All others use it as code only, emitting HTML with echo statements. There is a conformance test ensuring the last three bytes of every file are
?>\n
.I pick my battles. For our PHP code, I prefer to avoid dealing with it at all.

Now that's a real WTF. I don't even remember when I last saw a closing tag
@Benjamin-Hall said in The Official Status Thread:

You got lucky. A newline is at least visible. The same problem (usually manifesting as "headers already sent" error) can be triggered by an UTF BOM inserted by some Windows editors. Which is probably only visible in a hexdump.
-
@sebastian-galczynski We also test whether the file starts with
<?php
.Or, of course,
#!/usr/bin/php -q\n<?php
. Because why settle for PHP on the webserver if you can use it on the command line too?
-
Finally got off my to publish some of my code I always copypasta as scoped npm packages.

status It's windy.
status2 Fuck. I need to reset the clocks again (stove, microwave, coffee maker - those things that are too fucking cheap to put any kind of battery back up - or even a half decent capacitor - in). Maybe I'll just let them flash 12:00 until this afternoon... (there's a gale warning for the SF bay until 1p - wind down here is pushing around 25mph)Of course, it's just as likely PG&E will throw up their hands soon and shut all the power down.
edit: Hey! The coffee maker survived the 2nd hit. Not the stove or microwave tho.
edit2: Well crap. No flicker this time. Looks like we're down for the long haul now.
-
Status: So yeah. Turns out that that PHP issue I mentioned yesterday wasn't caught in testing because
a) it was in an english-language specific file (part of the translation infrastructure)
b) the stack under test was for a spanish-language ticket.So it never got actually tested.
In my short experience, translations and internationalization is the source of tons of bugs.

You know, if everyone spoke one language, life'd be much easier. Don't really care which at this point, except no logjam.

Every time I want a cup of coffee, I drink a bottle of water instead.
So anyway I might die from water poisoning soon.
