The Telecine way does not involve a cam. I think you mean Telesync.

Some more details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine_(copying).


telesync uses an audio channel, telecine is just video and uses an electronic photomultiplier array as a sensor to convert the light of each frame on acetate to a bitfield frame, its not a camera but done properly it can be high quality. its not a cam its more like scanning each frame of film. the thing is about 20 years ago there was a lot of cams and TKs and TSs, now that streaming is the thing its not very common to see these and you know they are very old compared to the usual transcoding and wrapping nowadays


That makes me wonder: why do you spend so many hours badmouthing PHP in multiple threads on here? Why isn't that time spent on something else?


Being on Hacker News is leisure time. If you work on making PHP suck less purely for leisure, I reserve no judgement. If you are a Laravel author, my question stands.


The answer is the same reason you build anything: there was a need for it, especially in the early 2010's for the language.


That was bad but I thought the worst part (icing) was "our package manager will be open source too so obviously we would welcome any contribution from you". Wow!


I remember when GitHub used to have private messaging. I liked that feature. It was an easy and unified way to get in touch with other coders on there and felt less intrusive than sending them e-mails out of the blue (or opening issues for the sake of communication, as some do).


There have been times I've wanted to reach out to someone about their open source repository or a question and I've always wondered why there wasn't a messaging feature. Interesting to learn it used to be there.


Same, but then I realized every commit contains the persons email, so I just email people.


It's a lot more fun with WSL 2. Something to get you started: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2020/03/02/docker-in-wsl....

It requires you to sign up for the Windows Insider program though.

Also check this for an annoying issue and a workaround: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4166.


WSL2 is being widely released in the next Windows feature update, though there's no hard date for it yet as far as I know...it's coming soon.


The version is called 2004 so presumably April 2020 unless there are delays due to COVID-19.


Thanks for that last link, a problem I had with WSL now makes sense to me.


So are your IntelliSense extension and the PHP Intelephense extension competing solutions? Why? Isn't there a way to join forces?

And I have to say that I've had better experiences with the latter. Also "last commit: 14.11.2018" on IntelliSense doesn't sound that great.


They are fundamentally different - my language server is implemented in PHP so it can build on existing PHP parsers and PHP devs can contribute to it. Intelephense is written in TypeScript. They are two different approaches and both can coexist.

You can bump that date (and your experience), by making a pull request which I will happily review ;)


Last time I tried the 'Getter & Setter' extension, it was quite a pain compared to PHPStorm. I had to click on each of my variables to generate a getter and setter. Wish it was just let me choose which variables I want to generate getters and setters (issers and hassers) for.

I really like to work in VS Code when I am on my home laptop (as in: not at work) but things like these more or less force me to keep a PHPStorm trial version open in the background.


How is this fun?

Thanks for changing the title, whoever did it. This definitely sounded like PHP as a whole is dead. There's more than enough FUD surrounding PHP out there really.


Looks interesting. Does the 'hot topics' section list all available tags or are there more?

When choosing tags, it would help if I could see which tags you're giving to specific stories on HN.


Only top 50 tags are displayed.

At this moment, a tag/topic is simply the keyword when you do search on HN. I agree it’s going to be more helpful to choose tags if it shows related stories.


Steve Jobs is turning in his grave. All of these look so random and interchangeable to me that it could probably even have effects on the common 'iOS first' mentality. What was so special about the iPhone again?
