A data table widget for symfony/tui, the new terminal UI component Symfony shipped a TUI component recently and there is almost nothing built on top of it yet, so I wrote the piece I wanted first: a table that scrolls, sorts and filters. Rows are plain associative arrays, a Column says which key it reads, and an optional formatter turns the value into what you see. Sorting runs on the raw values with <=>, which is…

Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 30 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
19 posts held, back to 26 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 9 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

I ported real PHP 8.3 (the actual Zend Engine, not a clone) to a microcontroller Honest disclaimer up front: this is useless. It doesn't solve a problem, save time, or make money. It's a personal holiday project, an idea I'd been chewing on for a long time, and I finally sat down over some time off and did it. The only question it answers is "can it be done?". Apparently yes, it runs. It's not a clone or a PHP-5.3-…

PHP on Mobile faster than React Native? We built PAM Native — embedding PHP into Rust via Zero-Copy FFI Who said PHP is only for the Web? 🚀 We’re rewriting the rules of mobile runtimes with **PAM Native**. Instead of heavy JavaScript engines or WebViews, we’re embedding PHP directly into a high-performance Rust core using **Zero-Copy C-FFI**. Here is how the architecture works under the hood: * **Vuex-style Globa…

Symfony Flex (Symfony 8.1) recipe for phpstan and errors (phpstan on max) Installed phpstan/phpstanand noticed the recipe has some configuration mistakes. For phpstan.dist.neon \- it includes scanning bin/ folder, but bin/console doesn't actually get scanned. When I scan public folder, I get an issue that public/index.php fails due to needing to cast to string. But you can't cast a mixed value to string. For src/…

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @r_php. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Cite this entry
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 21 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
