There’s a bug in Guzzle 6.5.0 in which it does not play nice with systems that have an older ICU library (which PHP’s Intl extension uses). CentOS 6 for example ships with a very old ICU version, without any (offical) means of updating it. The bug should be fixed in (the unreleased) Guzzle 6.5.1. It …
:is() selector will simplify things
One of the selectors in CSS Level 4 is :is(). It is the successor to :any() and :matches() (which are supplanted by :is()): The :is() CSS pseudo-class function takes a selector list as its argument, and selects any element that can be selected by one of the selectors in that list. This is useful for …

The past week I took a closer look at the several options on how to run a PHP app with Docker. In the past I’ve ran a few pre-built containers, but now I wanted to truly get to the bottom of it all as I don’t always need a full blown container with all extensions, …

Intl.RelativeTimeFormat
A proposal to the ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification (ECMA-402) that just moved to Stage-4, is Intl.RelativeTimeFormat. It’s a way to format time in a relative manner – e.g. “10 minutes ago” or “in 3 quarters” – while also taking a language into account. const rtf_en = new Intl.RelativeTimeFormat('en'); console.log(rtf_en.format(-1, 'day')); // ~> 1 day ago …

package.json
Recently I needed to test a branch of a forked GitHub repository inside a project. Instead of cloning the fork and symlinking the package locally, I installed the remote dependency directly into the project. To achieve I used the following command: Using NPM: npm install git@github.com:user/repo.git#branchname or npm install git+ssh://git@github.com:user/repo.git#branchname Using Yarn: yarn add ssh://git@github.com:user/repo.git#branchname …

list-style-type: <string>
Since CSS Level 2, CSS list-style-type has supported keywords like disc or decimal to define the appearance of the list item marker. Landing in Chrome 79, and also available in Firefox ever since version 39, is the ability to set it to an arbitrary string. Here’s a pen that demonstrates its behavior / usage: Let’s …

package.json with npm-add-script
Recently I needed to automate the addition of the addition of a script defined in a package.json‘s scripts section. To do this I used npm-add-script (an older, but still functioning project), along with the aforementioned npx. For example, to add a script labelled start with the contents webpack-dev-server –config ./config/webpack.config.babel.js –env.MODE=development –open –hot, I use: …
