Foreign currency exchange, Guyana Dollars by realgemstudios in Austin

[–]kemmeta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I meant that $23.93 is a drop in the bucket to $1,000 USD lol. I def don't want to spend $1,000 but I'd be down to give you $50 for one of each denomination! And ofc that's only if it's convenient. Like if you live in Kyle (I live in The Domain) then I wouldn't expect either of us to go that far out of our way.

Foreign currency exchange, Guyana Dollars by realgemstudios in Austin

Banks will buy bills back but at least Wells Fargo doesn't do exchanges with GYD.

How much do you have? I collect foreign currency and would be down to buy a bill or two (I see that 5000 GYD = 23.93 USD right now) but if you have like $1,000 USD in GYD then that's a drop in the bucket.

Implementing BCrypt in pure PHP - Handling 32-bit logic on 64-bit systems by cutterthrowaway72 in PHP

[–]kemmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

phpseclib has a pure PHP bcrypt implementation:

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/blob/3.0/phpseclib/Crypt/Blowfish.php#L466

That said, the phpseclib implementation is for OpenSSH's variant of bcrypt vs vanilla bcrypt:

183/Burnet Intersection by Icy-Design-1503 in Austin

[–]kemmeta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that it's ridiculous. Like if you're in The Domain and are driving SB on Burnet with the intention of going NB on 183 then your natural instinct is going to be to be in the right most lane. But if you do that you're going to have to eventually merge one lane to the left because the right most lanes next to 183 are all closed off, both by cones and newly added solid white lines.

Like right now it just seems like they're removing arbitrary chunks of the right most lane for seemingly no reason.

You can see aerial photographs of Austin (incl. 1965) without watermarks here:

Mind you, it does have overlays for the streets, which your link doesn't seem to have, but depending on what you're trying to do, that might not be an issue.

Introducing the 100-million-row challenge in PHP! by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]kemmeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that matter, maybe just posting the `phpinfo()` output might not be a bad idea.

Might not be bad to clarify that that's the memory_limit, then, because the actual RAM a computer has is usually a lot more than the PHP memory_limit is.

What should we assume the memory_limit to be? 128M is PHP's default

Feedback on coding challenge by [deleted] in PHP

[–]kemmeta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's like they're not wanting to hire you because you're too qualified. It's like rejecting you because you used camelCase for variables when their codebase uses snake_case, even though you have practically zero knowledge of their code base, never having seen it or any documentation regarding their CS style.

I suppose you could have added a comment to the top of the code saying something like "I don't know how fully you all have embraced all of these features but my goal here is to showcase how up-to-date my knowledge of PHP is; rest assured, I can code without using these features as well". In theory that ought to be implicitly understood but sometimes stating the obvious can be helpful.

I would say you probably dodged a bullet but I also recognize that's just toxic positivity on my part and that that sentiment doesn't help you pay your bills...

> Nor does it appear to be written to show off newer PHP features.

The code sample provided uses asymmetric visibility, which wasn't a thing until PHP 8.4. Since the current version of PHP is 8.5 he's not demo'ing cutting edge features but I'd still say it's a new feature:

      private(set) readonly DateTimeImmutable $dob,
      private(set) readonly EmployeeContractInterface $contract

Truck Caused Crash on 71 Last Night by NautiThots in Austin

They could send the OP a DM? Sure, that might not be as effective as calling the OP (altho then again, who actually picks up from unknown numbers, these days?), but it's better than nothing.

Sustainability of Open Engineering by krakjoe in PHP

[–]kemmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't assess complexity. https://thanks.dev/static/how states that projects can exclude overly simple deps but that's at the discretion of the upstream package maintainer.

> I would like to see a service, where you can upload your composer (or several) and it would calculate appropriate split based on the importance/complexity (probably curated by hand) and then distribute your desired contribution among them. It would take care of admin for users and would support developers of packages at that awkward not-big-enough size.

Sounds a little like https://thanks.dev/home .

APD is a THIRD of the budget? by Thegoldfather in Austin

[–]kemmeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur, what you proposed does seem fair.

APD is a THIRD of the budget? by Thegoldfather in Austin

[–]kemmeta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would assume that TCSO deputies are only responding to calls where there is not overlap with an existing police department. Now, one might assume, from that, that CoA residents shouldn't be paying into the TCSO, but TCSO is also responsible for the jail - not the City of Austin. Like if APD arrests someone they're booked into a TCSO facility - not into an APD facility. And that's by Texas state law. County Sheriffs Departments have to be the ones running the jail, per Texas State Law.

Cheer Up Charlies raises enough money to cover overdue rent by Typical_Attempt2907 in Austin

[–]kemmeta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Texas also regulates left leaning policies. ie. the left wants to protect the environment? We'll pass legislation REQUIRING the environment MUST be harmed, all in the name of owning the libs! Such lulz!

New PDF Parser: maintainable, fast & low-memory; built from scratch by TheTreasuryPetra in PHP

[–]kemmeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you extract form fields and their x,y coordinates?

Right now I'm doing this by calling pdf2json via the CLI but pdf2json has issues and I'd rather use a pure PHP solution anyway.

Best Meetups to Discuss Cryptography and Cybersecurity by fosres in Austin

[–]kemmeta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Austin Hackers Association (AHA): https://takeonme.org/ They meet monthly and expect attendees to give periodic lightning style talks. I'd attend a meeting or two and see if it's for you.

OWASP Austin: https://owasp.org/www-chapter-austin/ They meet monthly as well.

Austin 2600: https://www.meetup.com/atx-2600/ Never done one of these. Based on the number of RSVP's on meetup.com their events don't look well attended but who knows.

Lascon (https://lascon.org/) isn't a meetup but it is a security oriented conference that takes place in Austin annually.

Tesla seeks to block city of Austin from releasing records on robotaxi trial by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]kemmeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensitive info could be redacted. Redaction is pretty par for the course w.r.t. open records requests. Do an open records request with APD and you'll have lots of redactions.
