It's also worth mentioning that coming back isn't necessarily a fixed requirement. I would happily live a shorter live on Mars - with the risk overhead of being stranded in the event of a catastrophic failure - for the chance to b

I'm curious how well this applies to the short-term effects of filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam? [1] As I understand it a lot of the downstream ecological effects rely entirely on the fill rate the Ethiopians choose (3 years

I've had discussions like this in the past, where people ask me "can we do it in 3 days instead of 5?" And I've found the easiest way to sell it to them is to ask which 40% of the feature set they would like me to remove

Also: Our issues with Laravel / Symfony weren't just performance, but also statefulness and memory leaks. Circular references, etc, which persist throughout multiple network requests. In a normal PHP flow using php-fpm or apache-p

This has been my experience: In creating a Framework which follows the general principles of a Symfony application (since we're all familiar with Symfony) we've ended up with interfaces that closely mirror what we're used to

We did, we had a play with Swoole and Phalcon when we were in the RFC stage of our project. We found Phalcon to be a bit too opinionated in how to do things, and we fell in love with how Swoole has implemented Coroutines and (practically) f

I agree with everything you've said, with the exception that it doesn't fit our usecase. We run and maintain several Symfony applications, we're very familiar with frameworks, how they work, their strengths and weaknesses. Th

I found it most useful to follow what people are already used to, which is to say that it follows the principles laid out by Symfony. The code for the framework is its own composer library which is pulled in to the vendor directory, the cod

Interesting, in the UK Corona seems to be doing quite well, anecdotally I'm noticing it popping up as an extra option on a lot of food delivery restaurants, and a lot of friends posting pictures of their bottles after work. Perhaps thi

For those, like me, who don't know what the acronym LTO is: it's Link-time optimisation, the stage during compilation where the "linker" has all of the object files which make up your program available to it, and is ther
