It is not better, this is a problem with the first-class callable syntax altogether.

The problem is that first class callables actually makes a new object wrapper for each reference, so trim(…) != trim(…). (It can be true in some cases, it depends if the memory is freed for the first reference).

I’m one of the few contributors to ext-php-rs. I’d be interested in contributing to your fork if you are planning to support your fork too. I think there’s a lot of QOL improvements to be made still and also adopting newer php features etc

Is it not possible to set the lambda url has an origin in CloudFront and get WAF protection that way?

For all production workloads we typically have cloudfront in front of everything.

I have experienced the same, though I’ve done less visual comparisons. Comparing % quality like-for-like between webp and avif, on average avif files are slightly larger than webp counterparts.

Things didn’t materially improve when using high compression (slow) encoding settings. Could have been a bad encoder (libavif iirc)— there might be an explanation but on the face of it I saw worse performance than webp.

The "work" is the arbitrary JavaScript in the `render()` function. In Concurrent mode, a `render()` function that renders 1000 children can now be interrupted "between" renders of all those children.

It's akin to doing `Header( LoginLink( GetLoginName() ) )` versus

``` Header(); check_for_interrupt(); LoginLink(); check_for_interrupt(); ... ```

The interrupt between rendering components (pieces of work) can now cancel the whole render operation (because say, the parent component has now been updated / wants to be re-rendered), or can pause the render tree while something like a high-priority animation frame is rendered.

This website isn't an interactive software application though!

> Siri uses a random identifier — a long string of letters and numbers associated with a single device — to keep track of data while it’s being processed, rather than tying it to your identity through your Apple ID or phone number — a process that we believe is unique among the digital assistants in use today. For further protection, after six months, the device’s data is disassociated from the random identifier.

Interesting, I thought I had heard it widely reported that Apple was keeping hold of audio records tagged with your Apple ID for 6 months, before anonymizing. That looks like it wasn't the case, and Apple was only tagging those recordings with a device ID, presumably to associate recordings with other recordings.

Only issue I have with this is it removes a bit of useful information when I'm asking users for screenshots when reporting errors on websites!

I recently had a child, and being a very tech savvy person, I'm mostly dreading the need to govern what they have access and do on their smartphones, internet, websites etc.

My gut reaction is that parents looking through their children's phones, apps, messages and photos is a huge invasion of privacy. As the article suggests though, there's also the need to protect and manage what our children are involved in, just like offline activities.

There's something about smartphones that is so personal, that there doesn't quite seem to be a good comparison for pre-technology privacy. I don't think I'd have a problem with dictating what my child watches on television, eats, drinks, or otherwise consumes - but controlling smartphones seems something more akin to thoughtcrime.

I was lucky enough to grow up when technology and connectivity was so new that apparently it wasn't used in such a mainstream sinister way as it appears to be now. Going through puberty seems like an even more harrowing experience (ala the move Eighth Grade) with the internet, that seems to go quite unnoticed.

I guess because we "follow" people who interest us or are like minded. I don't set out to "follow an influencer", but when I subscribe to a podcast, or follow someone on twitter because I find their comedy hilarious; that's what I'm doing.

I don't think the intentional is to get people to smoke who otherwise wouldn't. It's to get the people who are going to buy cigarettes, and in doing so, chose their brand. When confronted with many choices of competing products, having someone you trust and admire favour a particular product may be enough to tip the scales and get you to take that option.

I find myself doing this often, due to all the podcast ads I hear! If I'm going to buy a mattress or printed framed picture I'm going to start with I've heard about from some "influencer" I follow.

Based off this definition of merit, any system would be meritocratic. A politician winning elections by purchasing votes wouldn't be considered to be merit based.

In poker, reading tells is an accepted part of the game and within the rules. It's my understanding that most of the tactics reported in the article are against Instagram's rules.

It was my understanding that this doesn’t cover using a trademark in a domain name. I could be wrong; my only experience of this is that “WordPress” is a trademark, and therefore it’s generally accepted that any WordPress related product is not allowed to use the trademark in their domains.
