Re: macOS 10.15 Catalina Apache Setup: Multiple PHP Versions

Thanks so much! This worked great. Can you explain a little what install_name_tool is doing here? Thanks

Re: macOS 10.15 Catalina Apache Setup: Multiple PHP Versions

Richard Bradshaw — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 16:36:09 -0000

On a brand new MacBook running Catalina, php 7 doesn't work, I just get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/bin/php

I've tried symlinking the new version 1.1 to the files it needs (you never know!) but it isn't compatible. Laravel 4 doesn't go higher than PHP 7, any one got any ideas?

Re: Shift: Laravel Automated Upgrade Tool

A 4.2 to 5.0 would be amazing. I have a project I started a long time back that uses 4.2 that I haven't been brave enough to update - at first I assumed a more detailed upgrade process would be available (rather than basically start again, copy code in by hand), but as that didn't materialise it fell further behind.

If this was 4.2 -> 5.0 I'd have downloaded now, and spent this evening working through whatever it didn't do automatically!

Re: Fixed Background Effect

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:58:55 -0000

Instead of using window.on('scroll resize'), then checking rAF, do it the other way round, that should help with the jankiness - use requestAnimationFrame to to call a function which checks if you have scrolled using the screen offset, then if that's different to last time, then call your function. In other words, instead of checking when you scroll (which causes 100s of calls), check every 1/60s, but only do something if it's changed. You could also precompute the places things change once, and then just check that when this triggers - both those would make this much much smoother.

Edit: I actually tried this approach, and it was mildly better, but in this case it is the CSS fixed background stuff making it slow :( Rubbish!

My changes to the JS are here: https://jsfiddle.net/3bzb9bmg/ - no demo, you need to paste into your own code to see the difference.

Edit 2: After even more time, it's clear that position-attachment:fixed is really really slow :( Shame as it's a nice effect.

Re: My 10,776 Amazon S3 Mistake – آحمد العجمي – Front-end Developer

You weren't hacked, you just decided to publicly publish your root credentials. Instead of making an IAM user just for your S3 uploads, you used an account that had full access to everything.

Re: Google: The New "Messenger" App In Android 5.0 Is A Stock SMS/MMS Solution, Not A Hangouts Replacement / Rebrand

Richard Bradshaw — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:19:50 -0000

Probably that in most cases sending messages via hangouts aren't texts, but hangout messages or whatever they are called - i.e. using data not texts. Why carriers care is beyond me as texts are always unlimited, whereas data is capped.

It seems that this document has actually been downgraded from a CR to a Working Group Note, and as well as misc formatting the line "At this time, the CSS Working Group does not envisage further work on this specification and does not plan to propose it as a W3C Recommendation." was added - if anything it seems that this is a dying spec, not a new and exciting one!

Re: Move Over Google Knowledge Graph, Here Comes Knowledge Vault

From the article:

Does that mean we should stop using structured data?

Kohn says no: "I believe it's critical to do so if you want to participate in the future of search. But it may show that the markup isn't ideal, that sites may implement it in self-serving ways or may not implement it correctly. Or correctly enough for it to be used as an entity fact."

Re: Rumor: Motorola Is Working With Google On Shamu, A Possible Nexus Phone With A 5.9" Display

Richard Bradshaw — Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:54:10 -0000

I'm surprised that Samsung haven't made a phone with a galaxy sized screen - when the Note first came out it looked like that would be possible by now if you extrapolated the curve.

Re:

Richard Bradshaw — Wed, 28 May 2014 10:26:39 -0000

I used to use `$(".spritespin-stage img:visible").attr('src')` in jQuery to get the current image's src - how do I do that now?

Conversely of all the sites we work with, none have seen any measurable change.

How can you use retina sized images? Even if I set the width and height, the images still have inline styles making them twice the size.

Re: Jeet | A grid system for humans

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:30:58 -0000

The multiple grid thing is pretty nice. In the examples given, though you can use Bootstrap by adding the grid classes on everything, you don't have to. In Bootstrap's documentation they give the example:

.wrapper {
.make-row();
}
.content-main {
.make-lg-column(8);
}
.content-secondary {
.make-lg-column(3);
.make-lg-column-offset(1);
}

with the HTML:

So, that point at least is a little misleading :)

The rest of it looks great though! Good work!

Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:22:53 -0000

I can agree with that, but is there evidence that it is used against US citizens?

Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:22:21 -0000

I guess that motivation (why would the government of all people go after it's own people?) and track record goes a long way. If the government wanted a person to disappear or be discredited in some way, they can do that without the internet or mass surveillance.

Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:16:10 -0000

Maybe there is more that I don't know - have the NSA abused information gathered about US citizens?

Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers

Richard Bradshaw — Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:12:39 -0000

In all seriousness - how does this make sense? You aren't worried about criminals who clearly would use any of your information against you, but you are worried about a government, who assumedly is acting on behalf of its citizens? I'm not from the US, but surely the government there don't have it in for their own people?

Yes, I believe that the syntax may also be changed before (if ever) this becomes widely accepted.

Re: JohnMarshall4 - Why I use non-American English voices in my text to speech

Richard Bradshaw — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 05:42:46 -0000

The issue here is that the voice recognition heuristics change making that side more difficult to use.
