Using #PHP arrays as pseudo-objects is almost never the right answer. They're less self-documenting, slower, worse on memory, and more bug prone.

PHP: Use associative arrays basically never
The other day I was working on some sample code to test out an idea that involved an object with an internal nested array. This is a pretty common pattern in PHP: You have some simple one-off internal data structure so you make an informal struct using PHP associative arrays. Maybe you document it in a docblock, or maybe you're a lazy jerk and you don't. (Fight me!) But really, who bothers with defining a class for something that simple? But that got me wondering, is that common pattern r…

Israel elects its parliament through nationwide proportional representation.
Citizens aged eighteen and older vote for a party, not a candidate,
and the number of seats in the Knesset that a party gets corresponds to the percentage of votes they receive.
Before the election, parties submit lists of prospective members of the Knesset.
To enter the Knesset, a party must receive at least 3.25 percent of the national vote, which is equivalent to four seats.

Israel’s Election: Who’s Who and What’s at Stake? | Council on Foreign Relations
Israel’s October 27 election could reshape the country’s political landscape, but neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s allies nor the opposition has a clear path to a governing majority. The outcome of the vote could determine not only who leads Israel, but how the country contends with various domestic and foreign policy concerns.

Merz kündigt Gesetz gegen linke Enteignungspläne an
Die Vergesellschaftungspläne der Linkspartei in Berlin schlagen hohe Wellen: Kanzler Merz will Enteignungen per Gesetz verbieten lassen. Die Bankenbranche mahnt, Investoren könnten verschreckt und Immobilienkredite teurer werden.

I’m seeing some really _hot_ hot takes so let me make one thing clear:
I’m 100% sure that someoneS both KNEW and EXPLOITED the eMudhra fuckup and the PHP RCEs.
“AI” finding it for the rest of us is one of the rare instances of them doing actual public good. Every exploit they find someone else with nation-state resources already knew about – or soon would.
Do y’all really think Russia, North Korea, and China are just banging rocks against each other!?

My daughter and I are sick at home so I introduced her to Inuyasha and now we’re binging the series.

#ScribesAndMakers 11. Is there a word whose meaning is benign that still grates on you for some reason?
That depends entirely on context, I have my pet peeves when it comes to my own writing (not so much when it comes to others'). I avoid 'suddenly' after a prolonged period of overusing the poor word. Now, it rests in the unused drawer. Preferably forever.

The announcement for the new Epic Store client sounds like an April Fools joke:
"Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look."
But it's 60 milliseconds faster than Steam at restoring from the system tray, so they've got their benchmarks sorted. I wonder if it still takes a minute to display your library...
