docs.scala-lang VS PHPT

Apple use Scala, not Java, for that sort of thing. At least that was the case last time I interacted with them.

Here are some of the suggested starting points for Scala: https://docs.scala-lang.org/

Here are the Scala books I've written: https://noelwelsh.com/landing/books/

Here's the coding group I run: https://www.scalabridgelondon.org/

ScalaBridge's online events have attendees from across Europe.

Type class is an interesting concept and I have been reading about it from different sources. So, I decided to pen down my learning from different sources like scala-lang.org, scalac.io, with examples that I could relate to better.

First you need to learn idiomatic Scala, start here: https://docs.scala-lang.org

Written by /u/julienrf and others in https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/pull/2662

That wording is out of date. I've just submitted https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/pull/2241 to update it.

In our latest story we show a couple of smart ways to get around some import conflicts in PHP.

The values [0, 15] represent 16 possible values, which is a power of 2.

The correct way to get an unbiased distribution from a sample of 2^x to a modulo that is not an even power of 2 is to use rejection sampling.

This is what RFC 6979 says to do https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6979#section-3.2

But you can also see this technique in CSPRNG code; i.e. https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/d40726670fd2915dcd807673...

I am running this code on MacOS on Apple Silicon hardware which is crashing when using the JIT in a ZTS build of PHP, so the 1m 35s result is without JIT, it might be even faster if I could use it

49. PHP - $58,899

A little about me; I'm a web developer and have been for around 5 years, though I'd dabbled for years. I have experience with Perl and PHP but my day to day is JavaScript/TypeScript be it through NodeJS or ReactJS. I want to learn Rust for no specific reason other than it's fun to learn new things.

Consider a web application where requests are handled through NGINX as the web server and PHP as the dynamic backend language. Let’s say something in the application logic results in a fatal error or process termination. This doesn’t affect NGINX’s ability to serve a response to the client, which would most likely be an HTTP 503 - Service Unavailable message.

In the beginning, I used a technology called CGI to develop server applications written in Perl. This technology was later replaced by Microsoft’s ASP (Active Server Pages) and then PHP. PHP, which you may already know, is still powering over 77% of all the websites as of the time of writing (ever heard of WordPress?).
