PHPT VS Visual Studio Code

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

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?).

As Shopware is mostly based on the Symfony framework, which is in turn based on the PHP language, we should also consider learning about the basics, which will also be useful for other frameworks apart from Shopware, like Symfonycasts, symfony.com, php.net.

First, grab your favorite command-line tool, Terminal or Warp, and a code editor, preferably VS Code and let’s begin.

C# is very good as a language, have developed in it for 5+ years. The problem is the gap between what MSFT promises to management and actually delivers to developers. You really really need to fully read the fine print, think of the omissions in documentation and implement a proof-of-concept that almost implements the full solution to find out the hidden gotchas.

For example, even probably their best product VS Code only got reasonable multiple screens support last year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecommen...

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Teams.

Hey fellow amazing developers, we got you Essential VS Code Extensions for 2024 (these are especially important for web developers) recommended by our developers at evotik, we wont talk about ESlint nor Prettier which all of you already know.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Developed by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful IDE with extensive support for Python development through extensions. It offers features like IntelliSense, debugging, and built-in Git integration.

In VSCode for example this can be easily done by adding the following .vscode/launch.json file:

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), always create a new Python file for your project.

Code Editor: Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code that offers good support for web technologies and extensions for PWA development.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.
