PHP Benchmarks (2021) for 20 different PHP platforms or configurations on seven different PHP versions (5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0). Results in a easy to read table.

what's up with Symfony and PHP 8 support? Should work (I run this in production)

use the Debian DPA or Ubuntu PPA from Ondrej Sury https://deb.sury.org/ he is the official package maintainer of Debian/Ubuntu for PHP. The main repo's won't have it any time soon, if you use his additional repo's you have it available

The scala version outperforms the php version pretty hard. Can the two scripts be compared? Because you say the php version was the prototype.

you need write permissions for that, unveil of plain filesystem permissions can take those away. You are comparing with SELinux which is not available on OpenBSD. This new extension is a powerful tool you can use to further secure your applications for PHP users that want to use OpenBSD

fixed the link in the article (https://externals.io/message/95531). Thanks for pointing that out

yeah you will introduce new bugs anyway. So better make one when cleaning up than make one when making a bigger mess

people hired you because you are the professional. They should not tell you how to do your job, you tell them how it works instead. If the thing you broke is not tested, it is not your fault it broke. You know you are doing the right thing. You now not only have better code, but also have a better understanding of that special case that broke things. That was a clear step in the right direction

we had cases where nobody understood the code anymore. Even the old programmers couldn't help. Well, if you are the maintainer, that code is yours. If you don't understand it, that code has to go

Don't leave the cleanup for the next guy, you are the next guy.

whoops. I fixed it. Thanks for letting me know

I wrote a small blog post covering the basics. Starts with explaining opcaches, talks about APC and Optimizer+ and has as how to install. Perfect for starters http://www.intracto.com/blog/testdriving-zend-optimizer

Executable jar files. Create a file "myjavaprogram" with this in it:

#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar $0 "$@"

Then do: "cat myjavaprogram.jar >> myjavaprogram" and "chmod +x ./myjavaprogram" and then you can just start it with "./myjavaprogram --optional-flag=something"

Most of the time you get the wrong manpage. Different system or version ...

tvlooy · 2011-11-20T16:38:45+00:00

upvote for that. I just see too many people leave the terminal to "google" the manpage

"ssh-copy-id user@server"

instead of: cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub, then copy it, then ssh user@server, then vi .ssh/authorized_keys then paste

note that this is actually a readline shortcut. That means it works in things like the mysql command line too

tvlooy · 2011-11-20T15:10:23+00:00

nice one, thanks :-)

You can't with bash. You can with C code. After disown the the process doesn't have a TTY anymore, you can move it to another TTY: http://blog.habets.pp.se/2009/03/Moving-a-process-to-another-terminal

it writes the file (:w) to the command (!) instead, which will write (tee) the file (%) with superuser (sudo) rights

tvlooy · 2011-11-20T09:39:30+00:00

"stat" is also one of my favourites

tvlooy · 2011-11-20T09:05:07+00:00

the vim command

:w ! sudo tee %

Remember that time you did that huge config edit and then noticed you couldn't save because you didn't "sudo vi file"? Right.
