In May, I'll be giving what will probably be the first ever PHP 8.6 talk: Piping Hot PHP.
8.5 isn't even cool yet, but 8.6 already has some hot new features. Combining 8.5's pipe operator with the new partial function application capabilities in 8.6 should give us a whole new way to think about structuring code!

Here’s my 35th “Long Links” outing, curation of long-form offerings, which assume that nobody has time to read all this stuff but one or two of the pieces might brighten your day.

People that thought what they BELIEVE was more important than what was REAL, became puppets of #Trump.
Group think spread in communities of:
▫️anti-tax upper class
▫️white supremacists
▫️gun owners
▫️Christian fundamentalists
And pride blocked them from ever being convinced otherwise.
