Potential fall internship fell through for Carl.
If anyone could use a smart 3rd year U Waterloo engineering student from Sept-Dec let me know. Java/PHP/C++/C#/Python/js/React/Swift/Ruby/Rails/electronics.
EU/US/Canada citizen so no work visa needed there and he will go anywhere

@chaddickerson This is probably a good starting point for a project like that: https://t.co/qF8ZD4zPAT

Swapping batteries in my office thermostat made me sad.

If you are a heavy user of php-memcached, I have added zstd compression to it. Check the PR and try it out please. Remember to use ./configure --with-zstd to enable it.

Bard over GPT by a nose(trunk?) on that one

@TechnoTimLive I have a similar Aliexpress box. Mine is running VyOS

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

I am so used to hearing PHP gripes that I easily tune those out, but I think this was the first time for LIMIT.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

Out for lunch and overhearing a heated argument about the LIMIT clause in various databases at the next table. It is taking all of my self-control to not say anything.
Only in Silicon Valley!

It is apparently hard for an AI to grasp how a unicycle works. #midjourneyv5

People outside of Silicon Valley always think we live in this high tech paradise here.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

Carl is looking for a fall (sept-dec) software/hardware co-op job in Europe or N.America. He's a strong programmer in many languages+electronics and if he doesn't know it, he will pick it up. Fluent in English & French and EU/US/CA citizen. Ping me for his resume and contact info

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

For those asking: outdoors under an open-air tent.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

@taylorotwell I tried that a few times back in the irc days and kept getting kicked out for impersonating me.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

PHP 8.2 is out!

Now the real work begins for the 8.2 release managers @adoyy, @s_panteleev and @ramsey. Be nice to them, please.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

I don't blame people for getting confused. That was unclear. My last in-person talk was in Barcelona. The one tonight is in Mexico City. Sorry for the confusion.

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

First in-person talk tonight since Nov.2019 in Barcelona. Looking forward to it.

@DonMacAskill I guess it depends how you define it. If Usenet counts, then mid-80s for me. Or if you need to reach me in 1989, I am {lsuc,utzoo,mnetor}!dciem!nttor!rasmus

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

Looking forward to my first in-person talk since Barcelona in November 2019

[Etsy Engineering @codeascraft]

What’s modern #PHP look like, particularly w/ PHP 8 & 8.2? How does @Etsy use PHP at scale? And what’s kept PHP Creator @rasmus engaged over his 35 year tech career? Join us to find out on Dec 7th at 7pm CT! https://t.co/CJjDN3Tf3J

[Rasmus Lerdorf @rasmus]

@Caterina I'd be ok with that. My /usr/bin/nn is sitting there waiting for me after all these years.
