Right, and people who do want a fixed project structure can consider something like PHPArkitect or Deptrac, available elsewhere.

Does tempest have command line tools to list discovered elements? E.g. with Slim I can find all routes by reading the routes file. With Symfony I think all controllers will be in one directory, and I can also run a CLI command to find them all.

How would you find all routes in a Tempest codebase?

You can make a mess by not having any coherent structure, things will still work but it may be hard to manually navigate your project. Possibly where having an IDE that discovery tools at least as good as Tempest to discover where you (or you colleagues) have put things will be necessary.

I guess "you can structure your project any way you like" works both ways - there's nothing to force you structure a way you don't want, but there's equally nothing to force you to structure it how you do want?

I think "all commands must be executable from all containers" contradicts the basic idea of a container. If you need that you might as well just install the executables directly without any containment.

Why would that be better than `apt/brew/chocolatey install php`?

I think there are big advantages to using docker when you have an application-specific config for your docker container, e.g. a dockerfile / docker-compose file. Without that I don't see what it gets you.

I saw my first BHG with a dark head of the year this week.

Have you found any good applications for viewing, searching and transforming the downloaded information? Mainly thinking about apps you could run on your own computer, but it could also be a SAAS product where you upload the data but you don't give them any permission to share it with third parties.

Missing the word classlike. (meaning class, trait, interface or enum)

Google translate doesn't really work for single word translation requests. Seems like if you put in a single word with multiple meanings then it should go to dictionary mode and show multiple options or ask for more context instead of trying to do an impossible translation job.

Yep same here, and same when using the keyboard in e.g. the app search tool.

If you want to show what you get in your icons you need to attach a screenshot. If you include the actual emoji we see the design built into our devices, not necessarily the same design you see.

I'm sure there must be some informal contacts between Unicode and the platform companies, no idea how powerful they are. I think you might do as well appealing to Apple and a few biggest ones directly.
December 10, 2024 at 2:05 PM
The design isn't up to those folks. It's up to Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Twitter etc etc to each independently update the design for their own platforms. You can see different designs from different platforms here emojipedia.org/flag-syria#d...

Syria is represented in emoji but combing 🇸 and 🇾. When those two characters are put together devices show it as a Syrian flag.

Unicode doesn't provide design guidelines for flags. They just say "In some emoji implementations, certain
pairs may be recognized and displayed by alternate means; for instance, an implementation might
recognize F + R and display this combination with a symbol representing the flag of France."

Unicode say its up to each "emoji vendor", i.e. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook etc to update the design. Looks like Bluesky doesn't have its own set of emoji designs but will just use the built-in emoji designs on each reader's device.

Sounds like they've decided they can't get enough money from businesses and want to be a consumer facing brand too :(

I don't really like the GMT abbreviation for London, since that's only applicable in winter. But I don't know what else to suggest, I don't know know any abbreviation for the UK timezone throughout the year.

ok you made me change mine to my domain

It's also true of the UK monarch, but at least they have a at least something of a tradition of trying to avoid any controversy.
