[$] PHP and P++
PHP is the Fortran of the world-wide web: it demonstrated the power of code
embedded in web pages, but has since been superseded in many developers'
minds by more contemporary technologies. Even so, as with Fortran, there
is far more PHP code out there than one might think, and PHP is still
chosen for new projects. There is a certain amount of tension in the PHP
development community between the need to maintain compatibility for large
amounts of ancient code and the need to evolve the language to keep it
relevant for current developers. That tension has now come into the open
with a proposal to split PHP into two languages. | | 11:36p |
KDE Applications 19.08 Brings New Features to Konsole, Dolphin, Kdenlive, Okular and Dozens of Other Apps (KDE.News) KDE.News reports on the release of KDE Applications 19.08. The release has updates for many different applications, as can also be seen in the official announcement. " Take Konsole, our powerful terminal emulator, which has seen major improvements to its tiling abilities. We've made tiling a bit more advanced, so now you can split your tabs as many times as you want, both horizontally and vertically. The layout is completely customizable, so feel free to drag and drop the panes inside Konsole to achieve the perfect workspace for your needs.
Dolphin, KDE's file explorer, introduces features that will help you step up your file management game. Let's start with bookmarks, a feature that allows you to create a quick-access link to a folder, or save a group of specific tabs for future reference. We've also made tab management smarter to help you declutter your desktop. Dolphin will now automatically open folders from other apps in new tabs of an existing window, instead of in their own separate windows." |
