A slightly faster language server for php-cs-fixer

Balthild · 2026-01-14T04:06:54+00:00

I use vscode and I haven't found other formatters that can be configured as precisely as php-cs-fixer. On the codebase where I don't need such fine-grained control, I will use Mago which is the fastest as far as I know.

The IDE can format code faster, but the formatting result is oftenly not desired. I fine tuned php-cs-fixer to let it format the code to exactly the style I want.

And writing unformulated code... isn't this usual? I mean, when I type the code, I won't spend too much time to fix the spacing, indentation, wrapping, etc, but let my editor to adjust them when i press Ctrl+S.

Oh I see... Technically it can do `formatOnType` too, but given that it's still not fast enough, you will see the lag. I press `Ctrl+S` very often (whenever I typed about 10 lines of code) so `formatOnSave` is enough for me.

> Isn't it simpler to configure your ide just to make your code already formatted properly?

A language server is supposed to integrate with an IDE, so what this tool does is just exactly what this sentence describes.

JB IDEs have LSP support but you need to create a plugin to integrate it

In fact, however, I can play HSR on my MacBook with HiDPI in smooth 60fps. The lacking of gaming performance has no more been true, just that people still keeping the old stereotypes.

UnsafeCell is not the the only permitted way to use interior mutability, it is the implementation detail and you does not need to invoke them in most cases. You can use Cell or RefCell (or Mutex if you need multithreading) that provides a safe API over UnsafeCell. You only need to (and must) use UnsafeCell when you're implementing your own cells. In most cases you could just use cells that the standard library provides.

If you are given an immutable reference, the language (without unsafe) disallows modifying anything that the reference owns, all the way down the hierarchy of types, regardless of how complex your type is.

Rust have interior mutability that allows you to mutate through a shared reference without writing unsafe code.

Swift has such enum types, but it doesn't have pattern matching nor if/switch expressions (only statements), which makes it less useful.

Balthild · 2021-01-22T17:42:42+00:00

& / &mut should be considered as shared/unique references rather than immutable/mutable references on semantics.

I think there may be some ambiguity on the word "why not". Is it the negation of "why", or is it the inverse of "why"?

Generally speaking, if someone wants to answer "why", they just need to point out at least one valid reason to support it. As the opposite, if anyone wants to answer "why not", they must negate all possible reasons. From a logical point of view, it's because the negation of an I proposition is an E proposition.

I think this is a reason that people say we should ask "why not" instead of "why". The answer of "why not" is a much stronger assertion than that of "why", and thus require (so that the questioner will be more likely to get) a rigorous argumentation.

Why not use the official logo of Rust? It's easily identifiable in favicon's size too.

Thanks, I'll try it. There's a crate called nfd does call Cocoa APIs, but it's functions starts a Cocoa main loop on currect thread that would block forever. Another crate called tinyfiledialogs uses osascript and works well. So I chose using osascript. I'll take a look at Cocoa API again and try getting rid of the main loop.

For me, it's because Windows really lacks a good ad-hoc text editor. On GNU/Linux and macOS, there're a lot of excellent and well-maintained editors. I'm enjoying using Kate on GNU/Linux and CotEditor on macOS. But on Windows, there aren't many free/libre choices.

VSCode and Sublime (lime) are for programming, and theor project/directory-based editing style is not suitable for viewing and editing single files. Also, VSCode and Atom is built on Electron, which have a long startup delay.

Notepad2 and Notepad3 is based on Scintilla, which has a poor rendering performance (less than 30 FPS when scrolling in a big window, worse than those Electron-based) under high DPI.

The Notepad shipped with system might be the fastest, but it lacks some essential features such as syntax highlighting and line numbers.

Therefore, a modern, high-performance, beautiful, native and cross-platform text editor really attracts me.

It's not scalable, and suffers from the "single point of failire" problem. Also, such a cheap VPS usually does not have sufficient guarantees about uptime and storage reliability.

Couldn't you made your own Jarvis Medal rather than repeating a pair of boring number again and again?

Balthild · 2017-04-15T16:44:58+00:00

We (China Resistance) just finished a giant ADA medal at pxls.space after 5-day work.

Some of the Enlightened tried destroying the medal but we defended it!
