ugh. the patch is massive 🫩 the bug is based on causing an OOM condition and no-one ever accused the php interpreter of being neatly and elegantly architected, so the fix touches everything 🫩 the bugs go back many years but backporting the fix to all those versions is wildly impractical 🫩 the […]

Our router rebooted itself and started blinking ominously a few minutes before the embargo ended. I sure hope that was the ISP pushing updates for its rinkydink management interface and not someone installing a bitcoin miner in its rinkydink management interface

@maltita I don't consider this a Picard Facepalm – modern PHP is not as insane a pick as old PHP for something so important, and given that we know a really bad bug is dropping, shutting down a few hours ahead of time is the correct call

anyway I just learned that the Dutch government service websites are implemented in PHP because a national news alert has gone out that they're shut down for the day due to reasons

So, no matter how bad the PHP fallout proves to be, I have to concede that they *have* cleaned up their act quite a bit in recent years and these sorts of bugs out of PHP are much, much rarer than they used to be Did you know that, when I was a fiery young programmer in my 20s, I ran a hate […]

you don't really think about it until it happens to you or someone close, but if you get too sick to go to school or work for months and years, then even if you're lucky enough to "get better," the knock-on consequences will just keep going for many years and possibly the rest of your life, in […]

very normal vocabulary list from ali express #aliexpressfinds

photo of a study notebook with an English vocabulary list for a Chinese-speaking student; the words are, in order, "sister", "music", "superclarendan" and "coffee".

The Chinese translation for "superclarendan" is poorly written and kinda illegible, but my Chinese friends diagnosed it as probably 粗体, "boldface font".
