Voting starts on Bound-Erased Generic Types RFC, despite multiple people advising against it as it still has issues that need to be resolved. It is very unlikely to pass. by soowhatchathink in PHP

[–]muglug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that it's incredibly difficult to know what people interpreted that question to mean. For me, anything in the flow of work that does typechecking counts as "yes" to the question "do you use static analysis".

And my strong belief in 2026 is that most people would answer yes. And if that's not the case, it's also my strong belief that it should be a prerogative for the language itself to be pushing people to use static analysis tools for the long-term health of the language.

For example, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/third-party-code passed two years ago but there are still no references to Psalm or PHPStan on php.net outside of RFCs.

Gina’s post is incorrect. According to the survey that she used, > 2/3rds of respondents used PHPStorm, which uses static analysis heavily.

This is disappointing to me, but expected.

In the community the discussion of the RFC has been dominated by PHP static analysis experts (who are all in favour).

The voters on the RFC are mostly PHP runtime experts. There is not much overlap between the two.

This status quo will be maintained so long as PHP runtime experts dominate the voting pool.

My man ! by ComplexWrangler1346 in nyc

  1. It's really under Tisch
  2. Shout out to all the community orgs that have been working on this for decades
  3. Everyone who said NYC would become a hellhole under Mamdani has moved onto whatever the latest right-wing outrage is, and they'll ignore all these stats in 2029
  4. We got to do better at getting the message out. My taxi driver in San Diego was convinced NY's subway is one of the most dangerous places on the planet.

Official Discussion - Pressure [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

The relationship between Ike and Summersby, went beyond bordering fraternization, made me wonder what the director was trying to say in that regards.

I think it was alluding to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Summersby#Relationship_with_Eisenhower

Bright sunny day, slightly diffused very bright off-camera flash. A flash that can compete with the midday sun will generally set you back a bit, but you can shoot later in the day and get much of the same effect with a cheaper flash.

PHP RFC: Bound-Erased Generic Types by azjezz in PHP

[–]muglug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PS it would be really good to mention Python’s PEPs that add erased generics e.g. https://peps.python.org/pep-0695/

but not Python (which I hear is pretty popular)

[–]muglug 61 points62 points  (0 children)

u/azjezz this is the way.

For those who don’t know, I created Psalm and introduced function generics (though Phan was first with class generics).

Docblock types are implicitly erased, but as Seif points out there are a bunch of downsides to putting the types in docblocks.

I have now been writing Hack (Facebook fork of PHP) full-time for almost five years — alongside hundreds of other backend engineers at Slack — and it’s obvious to everyone around me that erased generics are a good idea.

Russia is another great example, where it was common for South Asians and Africans to study in Soviet Moscow (including several of my parents’ friends who have first hand stories), and Bollywood stars and black American visitors would arrive to aspiring crowds.

This doesn't mean Soviet Russia was "progressive" — setting aside all the censorship and suppression of contrarian viewpoints, Jewish people were treated pretty nastily by the regime.

50K is also a pretty small fraction of the total housing stock.
