It's a British colloquial term meaning basic / expected / ordinary

One reason would be that Vercel does the build process, whereas Github pages (afaik) would require you to commit the dist dir

You could already do that by setting a _acme-challenge alias CNAME record, so you can point it to a domain that they control. It's a bit finnicky and the new setup definitely looks better for whitelabelling, but there are current workarounds; although it does still involve client DNS access, you can put it onto a zone that has no risks

I had a teacher who told us to make a website using Powerpoint..

Turns out you save save as HTML and any links you put between slides become anchor tags.

Pretty neat, but hurt my soul to have all my classmates do that

Any chance you could share those sections of your claude file? I've been using Claude a bit lately but mostly with manual changes, not got much in the way of the claude file yet and interested in how to improve it

Typo - "proove". "Prove" only has one O.

Thank you!

That first article is a decade old.

The article has been updated over the decade. It mentions which things have been fixed — most of them haven't.

I used to hate PHP with passion myself (having read those articles too) before I had to take on a large project which used modern practices (PHP 7+, latest Symfony) and I can say it's been a surprisingly smooth sailing so far, most of the time you use nicely designed abstractions over the core APIs provided by the framework (or its modules) and don't use built-in functions directly. The actual annoyances I notice everyday are things like inconsistent argument order in array_* functions (people prefer to use them directly), but you quickly get used to it and there's not that many of such functions in day-to-day work. What you usually do is generic stuff like defining models, writing controllers etc. and most of the time it doesn't feel much different from other enterprisey languages I've used such as C# or Java. From time to time you have to use some arcane PHP function because the framework doesn't provide it for you but there's a custom, at our company at least, to wrap such functions in nice utility classes once and forget they exist.

Only a few of these i found annoying, but its good to get a fix for the Previews and GitHub-Style Inline Diffs

But _most_ of the time you'd be using the one in your city.

If you are from Manchester, UK and you live there, how often do you need a taxi app that works in Bangkok, or NY, or Oslo?

Maybe I’m unusual, but use of Uber is overwhelmingly travel related. The only time I use it in my own city is transit to/from my airport, because I can’t easily use public transit.

Old School Runescape is where you want to be

Things like large documents don't make that any easier though. Scrolling through a large document can take a while, but a scrollbar allows you to get to somewhere else often quite a lot faster.

Imagine you cmd + F a phrase and there are 200 responses separated into like 4 chunks of a document. It can be useful to scroll to the start of each chunk to get the context of them.
