PHP_EOL depends on your host system, it’s \r\n on Windows.

I don’t really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible, 5.x was mainly getting slowly rid of nonsense and with 7.x PHP started its slow path of redemption and entered its modern era.

While Lerdorf’s vision was great at that time for its intended use case, I wouldn’t want to build anything serious in it.

In PHP it exists as well. I try to use PHP_EOL but when I’m lazy I simply do “\n”.

PHP: 0.3*

* with default precision

Stick to the training, your brain will figure out the rest. Unless you’re missing self-preservation instinct, your brain will do its best to survive and avoid psychological trauma.

That includes trauma from killing others, you will dull in time naturally.

Important note: you will get psychological trauma, there’s no way to avoid that. Your brain will put up some defenses (the kind of the defenses is highly individual) to prevent the trauma fucking up your life in the short term, but it will fuck you up in the long term. Only therapy can help there, though it’s very unlikely to be cured entirely at all.

If you go to war and get traumatized, find a therapist as fast as you can. The longer the trauma is untreated, the deeper it becomes part of your personality. And by that I mean really as fast as you can. If you get a chance to speak to a therapist 20 minutes after you go through something traumatic, do it, even if you feel like you’re managing. If you can’t access one that quickly (which is likely during an armed conflict), do it as soon as you’re able to.

I think there’s an implicit “chicken” before the egg: what was first, a chicken or a [chicken] egg?

Funny you mention colours, you can very easily determine the point where it’s more green than red.

I don’t think they really care about you. Or what most people consume. They care about being hired and if they’re put into a “likes doing superhero movies” box, the offers for other stuff won’t be coming their way.

I would call a 19th century book old. Like, no one I know has been alive in 19th century. That’s pretty old by my standards.

Really depends on your age, I guess. For me, anything made in 1990 and later is new(ish) and everything before that is old. I imagine if you were born in the 2010s, even 90s movies feel very old.

Just tell them they won’t be getting those sweet Euros from the EU, that worked every time so far.

Not that I wouldn’t welcome UK back (under equal conditions to all new-joiners, of course), speed-running is not something EU is capable of. Nor is UK. They will not like having to accept the same deal everyone else has to when they had a lot of exceptions for everything. It will take ages before some kind of agreement is reached.

Yuck. Even if I ignored economy, Trump and everything political, US food is pure shit compared to European food.

Finally, I’ve been waiting for this.

That guy is great. But nothing beats his JS developer interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo3cL4nrGOk

why they would want to pass trauma onto me

It’s not like it’s intentional, usually. Everyone has a different way of coping with trauma and sadly, one of the brain’s most usual defenses is repeating the same behaviour, because that makes what happened normal - if I do it too, how could it be something bad?

People who do that need a therapy to stop repeating the abusive behaviour, but as with alcoholism, the first step is to admit you have been abused. You would be surprised how many people don’t get past the first step. And that’s how abusive behaviour in people who are not necessarily psychopaths occurs.

As an aside, being a psychopath (not a sociopath, that term doesn’t exist in psychology) is also a defense mechanism, although one on the extreme side of things and it’s generally incurable past a certain age.

Good luck! I did the same recently. I wrote my own blog system, though. I can share it with you, but I’m not sure it’s the best for anyone else, there were some shortcuts taken given I did not intend to share it.

You can check out my blog and let me know whether you want to try it: https://chrastecky.dev/ (or federated: !programming@chrastecky.dev, !3d-printing@chrastecky.dev, !gaming@chrastecky.dev).

You can never truly confirm any scientific theory

All of physics would like a word.

I limit suggestions to one line, that’s the sweet spot for me.

It’s just an algorithm, all it takes is someone deciding they want to do it.

It’s equally easy to do on federated social media, it’s just that no one found the incentive (yet?).
