Re: The Witcher review: Netflix series starring Henry Cavill is terrible | EW.com

You were paid to watch 8 episodes of a TV Show, and couldn't even do that. Imagine reading 25% of a book, skipping a few chapters, and then writing a book review for it? If you were writing a Book Report in school, you would've failed. But this isn't school, this is your job... Congrats Entertainment Weekly, you've lost all my respect.

Because life’s too short for the length of the Great Gatsby, I skipped ahead to the fifth chapter. I decided to not read the rest because life's too short. I give Great Gatsby a 0/10.

If you had watched the whole thing, and had clear points on why it didn't resonate with you, then that's a fair review. This is just plain lazy.

With Composer https://getcomposer.org , you could stick My_Config_Class in an autoload definition, and have PHP autoload it when needed, saving you even more lines of code.

That's the target API. There is still a lot of Love2D missing, so we would "love" your help in the code to get it there!

Re: Goodbye Drush Make, Hello Composer!

Do not use `sudo` for Composer usage. That will install the project as the root user, which you don't want. Use the local user, and configure file permissions from there.

Re: PHP: Testing Private and Protected Methods

Rob Loach — Sun, 05 May 2013 10:41:16 -0000

What Larry is saying is that you should call the public methods with parameters that will force the use of the private/protected ones. That way, you could test any permutation of the class, and it should return meaningful results, with or without manually calling its internals.

Can be pretty tricky to set up like that sometimes though.

I'd have no problem helping maintain it.

Re: Traits are Static Access

Rob Loach — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:53:10 -0000

This can still be achieved with an abstract class though:

class MyLogger extends Psr/Log/AbstractLogger
{
public function log($level, $message, array $context = array()) {
// My useful code here.
}
}

Maybe I'm just old-school. I do see where Traits become useful, but with a bit of thought, you can achieve what they introduce by using a few abstract classes and interfaces. Multiple inheritance comes to mind, but I usually tend to avoid using it since it can lead to problems.

Re: Some "under-the-covers" details behind our new website

Rob Loach — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:13:16 -0000

The web is always changing. Learning to adapt accordingly is a must. Whether it's Wordpress, Drupal, Ruby on Rails, it's important to realize that it's all on the web. What we can accomplish with it is up to us. We are the ones that push it forward... We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.

Great launch, guys! Keep it up.

Does Jupiter Broadcasting have an OPML feed? Would be nice if there was one with thumbnail information and everything so that when loading up the Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts, could just import them all at once.

Could definitely help out the XBMC JB Addon.
