@npub13w7…mktw right up there with implementing your own crypto or inventing yet another serialization protocol. ;)

ok, now that #php 8.3 has turned up the volume on unserialize() complaining about trailing data, does anyone have a built in method to decode the default session serialization? (the way most folks do it today is based on a comment in the docs from 12 years ago that will now spew E_WARNING like crazy.) I still see no official API for decoding it other than the one that shoves it into the super global (Which has other undesirable side effects.)

I wonder if @npub1rv4…ft5j gets royalties on this keyboard design....

@npub13w7…mktw I think the use case for bindTo’s arguments not matching is when there is overloading in a class hierarchy and you want to access something from a parent class of the one you have an instance of (eg argument 1)

@npub13w7…mktw ugh. Sorry to hear that. Sadly I get the impression from some others in the search that no one can afford high level engineers anymore.

@npub13w7…mktw seems to be a recurring thing every couple weeks that someone does a drive by tag with some form of “lol php sucks” or otherwise ignorantly bashing the language or using it for the butt of a joke.

@npub13w7…mktw sadly it’s also a great way to find uninformed morons spreading FUD to add to your block lists.

I could really use a few minutes of Steve Kornacki at the big board explaining this French legislative election in short words so everyone can understand how you vote the fascists the fuck out of office.

@npub1rv4…ft5j we used to have a vending machine on my college campus with floppies, both sizes, with 3 1/2 formatted either dos or mac and printout claim cards. I’m sure these days it sells usb memory sticks and charging cables.

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub1zmu…xxkn based on what I’m seeing in my network I would venture to say it’s the “very senior” part of that that is the problem more so than the #php part. :(

@npub1jpp…u59l @npub1fxa…j9jj ugh. Is there not a json schema or something you could just provide them a blob to skip that garbage?
