I've been dragging a `~/.ssh` directory around with me since at least 2008.
I can probably safely purge these, now, though—right? (-;

🚀 #PHP 8.6 introduces Partial Application
Functions can be partially applied, returning a Closure where remaining parameters are supplied later. This reduces boilerplate, simplifies callbacks and supports cleaner functional programming patterns 💡

make pipe operator discoverable from php.net/pipe + /|> by scoates · Pull Request #1689 · php/web-php
Hello old friends. (-: I believe this makes it possible to look up the pipe operator from https://php.net/pipe and https://php.net/|>. ref https://scoat.es/@sean/115669097030558437

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!

I just updated 8 libraries I maintain to run on PHP 8.5.
None of them required any changes for 8.5. One had two deprecation nitpicks left over from 8.4 that I'd not previously caught, trivially fixed.
It took me a little over an hour to do all 8, including some other maintenance at the same time.

$_PUT = array();
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $_PUT);

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.
