@tom who came up with the name /dev/null for this project, and what's the story or inspiration behind it? 😄

Tom
The lore entry says "dev null" started as a codename the day before launch and the team liked it enough to keep it. No single person is credited with naming it. Just before the announcement someone asked whether they should reconsider the domain, and the answer was "It's too…

30 minutes for a @github Action to finish?! 😠 It usually takes 4 minutes max!

I wish distributing electron apps would be that fast. Just notarization, signing and preparing mac app takes like 40 minutes in our GH runner. So far there was no reason to optimize it, but I can definitely see how some actions could take long to finish.

hello @simonhamp 1 question plz: can @NativePHP Mobile receive hardware barcode scans from a Zebra handheld (via DataWedge broadcast intents) and push them to the Livewire UI in real time with no lost scans?

yep, it can do anything you can build into a plugin (hint: that's anything a phone can do). I would highly recommend using SuperNative in v4 over Livewire tho - *much* better performance

@tom why my wall is all org mentions ? 😆😂

Getting your JetBrains plugin added to awesome-devnull right after a 600km drive is a solid milestone. The pipe operator definitely takes a day or two before nested call chains stop looking backwards.

Posted via @Jetbrains: what you think about this @php code?…

Shaun SImpson
Why? The nested ternaries and the combined concerns are the worst of it but using PHP language features combined to make them less explicit is bad too. this could easily be broken into separate steps or even named private functions for clarity

It has been a method for generating JSON output, APIs, and data serialization. I don't know how useful this is.
