🔡 Portable ASCII library - performance optimized (ascii) string functions for PHP.

In the last post we learned all about how scoping works with JavaScript let, const and var variables. We now know that var is function scope, and now we know that let and const are block scope, which means any time you’ve got a set of curly brackets you have block scope. N…

Hey Folks! React 16.3 has a new Context API which makes accessing data and functions anywhere in your application a snap. If you ever find yourself passing data down via props 4-5 levels deep, context might be what you are looking for. Enjoy! Code Examples available at https://g…

One feature that comes along with template literals, or template strings, is the ability to tag them. That means is that we can run a template string through a function, and rather than have the browser immediately assign that value to a variable, we can have control over how th…

ES6 has introduced arrow functions which have three main benefits. First, they have a concise syntax. Secondly, they have implicit returns, which allows us to write these nifty one-liners. Thirdly, they don’t rebind the value of this when you use a arrow function inside of…

Before you start going absolutely bananas on using arrow functions everywhere, we need to chat. Arrow functions don’t replace regular functions. Just like Flexbox and floats, pixels and rems and anything else new that comes along, the older thing still retains lots of util…

For decades MySQL has considered BLOB a sink for data junk that didn’t fit the strictly typed SQL bill. As the outside world began voting for JavaScript, JSON and key-value/key-document stores, TEXT/BLOB was rediscovered as the only way to store JSON inside MySQL. But havi…

Default function arguments in JavaScript are here. This is one of those features that’s going to make your life much easier, and make your code much more readable and maintainable. Let’s say we have a function called calculateBill which is going to take in three thin…

PHP has several built-in ways of serializing/unserializing data. The most cross-platform is json_encode; pretty much every programming stack can JSON decode data that has been encoded by any other stack. There's also PHP's native serialize function, which is not as cross-platfor…

I am currently participating in the Neo4j-Heroku Challenge. My entry is a -- as yet, unfinished -- beer rating and recommendation service called FrostyMug. All the major functionality is complete, except for the actual recommendations, which I am currently working on. I wanted t…

We’ve learned about the concise syntax of arrow functions. We’ve learned about the implicit return of arrow functions. The last thing we’re going to learn about and probably the most important is that the fact that this keyword does not get rebound. What does t…

Back in 2009 and 2010 I wrote about a PHPUnit patch I wrote to automatically verify parameter types in function calls. The feature never made it into PHPUnit and honestly it didn’t really fit into the feature set either. Although I still plan on releasing it as a PHPUnit e…

Whether it’s twisting a function or taking advantage of side effects and flexible language constructs, it’s no secret I occasionally take joy in writing bastard PHP code. The other day I was in an evil mood and used array_reduce() to construct an array. If you’re not familiar wi…

Довольно частой задачей на PHP является склонение слов, которые идут после какого-либо числа, например, 1 день, 2 дня, 5 дней или 1 раз, 2 раза, 5 раз или 1 год, 2 года, 5 лет. Данную задачу решить довольно легко, используя специальную функция и массив слов. function plural_type…

I am a long term tmux + neovim enthusiast, and for the last 10 or so years, I’ve been using vim-plug to manage my vim dependencies. I recently learned that very similar functionality was added to neovim core. The vim.pack interface provides a built-in package manager for vim plu…

by Pream Totaram I started to read about clean coding practices and started to wonder how they can apply to JavaScript where it is common to define a function within a function. What I started to think is, how could it be possible for a block of code to obey the Single Responsib…

User notifications are a feature that came as an afterthought, but turned out to be rather easy to implement - without touching (read: breaking) existing functionality - thanks to having an immutable event log. In the domain I’m working in at the moment, we will often give…

Visualizing some data earlier this week I had to compute the running total of a sequence of numbers. For example, if the input sequence was [ 100; 50; 25 ] the result of the computation would be a new sequence of [ 100; 150; 175 ]. Muscle memory made me take a procedural approac…

Coming from C#, I’m used to the compiler warning me about unused variables. Relying on the compiler to help me with checked exceptions in F#, I noticed that unused values (and functions) would go unnoticed. Having accidentally read earlier that Haskell has a compiler flag …
