Evolution of PHP and Its Future

PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, is a widely used scripting language for web development. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, PHP has evolved significantly, adapting to changing technology trends and incorporating new features and improvements. In this blog, we will delve into the evolution of PHP, exploring the significant versions, modern development practices, and the future outlook of this dynamic language. As a PHP developer or someone interested in web development, understanding the evolution of PHP is crucial to stay up to date with the latest advancements and make informed decisions when building web applications. So, let's embark on a journey through the evolution of PHP and discover how it has shaped the world of web development.

Evolution of PHP Versions

Since its inception, PHP has undergone several major releases, each bringing significant improvements and new features to the language. Let's explore the evolution of PHP versions and understand the key advancements in each iteration.

PHP 1: 

The first version of PHP was released, providing basic functionality for web development.

PHP 2: 

The second version of PHP introduced support for dynamic web pages and database connectivity.

PHP 3: 

Support for object-oriented programming, which greatly enhanced the language’s capabilities.

PHP 4: 

Introduced several new features, including support for XML, improved database connectivity, and the ability to create web services.

PHP 5:

Enhanced error handling mechanisms, Improved performance, and memory management.

PHP 7:

Introduction of the Zend Engine 3, Addition of scalar type declarations for function arguments and return values, Introduction of anonymous classes, and closure improvements.

PHP 8:

Introduce JIT compiler, Addition of union types, allowing variables and function return types to accept multiple possible types. Enabling metadata to be attached to classes, methods, and properties.

The evolution of PHP versions demonstrates the continuous effort to enhance the language's performance, flexibility, and functionality. Each release has introduced features and improvements to make PHP more robust, secure, and developer-friendly.

Modern PHP Development Practices

With the evolution of PHP, modern development practices have emerged, enabling developers to write more efficient, maintainable, and scalable code. Let's explore some of the critical practices that have gained popularity in the PHP ecosystem:

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

Embracing OOP principles allows developers to organize code into reusable objects and classes.

Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism facilitate modular and structured code development.

OOP promotes code reusability, separation of concerns, and easier maintenance.

PHP Frameworks:

Utilizing PHP frameworks, such as Laravel, Symfony, or CodeIgniter, streamlines development by providing pre-built components, libraries, and MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture.

Frameworks facilitate rapid development, code organization, and everyday tasks like routing, database handling, and user authentication.

They promote best practices and standardize coding conventions, leading to cleaner and more maintainable codebases.

Dependency Management:

Adopting dependency management tools like Composer simplifies the integration of external libraries and packages into PHP projects.

Composer allows developers to define project dependencies and automatically manages their installation and updates.

It promotes code reuse, reduces wheel reinvention, and ensures project dependencies are easily maintainable.

Unit Testing:

Writing unit tests using frameworks like PHPUnit helps ensure code correctness, identify and prevent bugs, and facilitate code refactoring.

Unit tests provide a safety net when making changes, allowing developers to validate that existing functionality remains intact.

Test-driven development (TDD) is an approach that emphasizes writing tests before writing the actual code, leading to more reliable and maintainable software.

PSR Standards:

The PHP Standards Recommendations (PSR) are guidelines and standards established by the PHP community to promote interoperability and consistency in PHP projects.

Adhering to PSR standards improves code readability, collaboration, and compatibility across different frameworks and libraries.

Following PSR standards ensures that codebases are well-structured, easily maintainable, and accessible to a broader community of developers.

Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD):

Implementing CI/CD pipelines, utilizing tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI, automates the building, testing, and deployment of PHP applications.

Continuous integration ensures that code changes are regularly integrated into a shared repository, preventing integration issues.

Continuous deployment automates deploying code to production environments, ensuring a streamlined release process.

Future Outlook of PHP

PHP has come a long way since its inception, and its future looks promising as it continues to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing web development landscape. Let's explore some key aspects that shape the future outlook of PHP:

Performance and Scalability:

With the introduction of the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in PHP 8, performance improvements have already been made.

Further advancements in PHP's runtime engine and optimizations are expected, enhancing its performance and scalability for handling modern web applications.

Language Enhancements:

PHP's development community is continuously working on introducing new language features and improvements to enhance developer productivity and code maintainability.

Future PHP versions may introduce additional language constructs, syntactic sugar, and language-level abstractions to simplify everyday development tasks.

Security Enhancements:

PHP developers increasingly focus on security practices to protect applications from vulnerabilities and attacks.

The PHP community actively releases security updates, and future versions are expected to include enhanced security features and improved default security configurations.

Support for Modern Web Standards:

PHP is expected to continue adapting to modern web standards and technologies, such as HTTP/2, WebSockets, and Progressive Web Applications (PWAs).

Frameworks and libraries will continue to evolve to support these standards, enabling developers to build cutting-edge web applications.

Integration with Emerging Technologies:

PHP will likely integrate with emerging technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Integration with these technologies will open up new possibilities for PHP developers to build intelligent and data-driven applications.

Community Growth and Collaboration:

The PHP community continues to grow, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and open-source contributions.

PHP conferences, meetups, and online forums provide platforms for developers to connect, learn from each other, and stay updated with the latest trends and advancements.

Compatibility and Legacy Support:

PHP remains committed to backward compatibility, ensuring existing PHP applications can be migrated and maintained without significant disruptions.

Future PHP versions will likely strike a balance between introducing new features and maintaining compatibility with earlier versions.

Conclusion

PHP has evolved significantly over the years, transforming from a simple scripting language to a powerful and versatile tool for web development. In this blog, we explored the evolution of PHP versions, modern PHP development practices, adapting to modern PHP development tools, and the future outlook of PHP.

Toe Dipping Into View Transitions

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/toe-dipping-into-view-transitions/

Toe Dipping Into View Transitions

I’ll be honest and say that the View Transition API intimidates me more than a smidge. There are plenty of tutorials with the most impressive demos showing how we can animate the transition between two pages, and they usually start with the simplest of all examples.

@view-transition navigation: auto;

That’s usually where the simplicity ends and the tutorials venture deep into JavaScript territory. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, except that it’s a mental leap for someone like me who learns by building up rather than leaping through. So, I was darned inspired when I saw Uncle Dave and Jim Neilsen trading tips on a super practical transition: post titles.

You can see how it works on Jim’s site:

This is the perfect sort of toe-dipping experiment I like for trying new things. And it starts with the same little @view-transition snippet which is used to opt both pages into the View Transitions API: the page we’re on and the page we’re navigating to. From here on out, we can think of those as the “new” page and the “old” page, respectively.

I was able to get the same effect going on my personal blog:

Perfect little exercise for a blog, right? It starts by setting the view-transition-name on the elements we want to participate in the transition which, in this case, is the post title on the “old” page and the post title on the “new” page.

So, if this is our markup:

<h1 class="post-title">Notes</h1> <a class="post-link" href="/link-to-post"></a>

…we can give them the same view-transition-name in CSS:

.post-title view-transition-name: post-title; .post-link view-transition-name: post-title;

Dave is quick to point out that we can make sure we respect users who prefer reduced motion and only apply this if their system preferences allow for motion:

@media not (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) .post-title view-transition-name: post-title; .post-link view-transition-name: post-title;

If those were the only two elements on the page, then this would work fine. But what we have is a list of post links and all of them have to have their own unique view-transition-name. This is where Jim got a little stuck in his work because how in the heck do you accomplish that when new blog posts are published all the time? Do you have to edit your CSS and come up with a new transition name each and every time you want to post new content? Nah, there’s got to be a better way.

And there is. Or, at least there will be. It’s just not standard yet. Bramus, in fact, wrote about it very recently when discussing Chrome’s work on the attr() function which will be able to generate a series of unique identifiers in a single declaration. Check out this CSS from the future:

<style> .card[id] view-transition-name: attr(id type(<custom-ident>), none); /* card-1, card-2, card-3, … */ view-transition-class: card; </style> <div class="cards"> <div class="card" id="card-1"></div> <div class="card" id="card-2"></div> <div class="card" id="card-3"></div> <div class="card" id="card-4"></div> </div>

Daaaaa-aaaang that is going to be handy! I want it now, darn it! Gotta have to wait not only for Chrome to develop it, but for other browsers to adopt and implement it as well, so who knows when we’ll actually get it. For now, the best bet is to use a little programmatic logic directly in the template. My site runs on WordPress, so I’ve got access to PHP and can generate an inline style that sets the view-transition-name on both elements.

The post title is in the template for my individual blog posts. That’s the single.php file in WordPress parlance.

<?php the_title( '<h1 class="post-single__title" style="view-transition-name: post-' . get_the_id() . '">', '</h1>' ); ?>

The post links are in the template for post archives. That’s typically archive.php in WordPress:

<?php the_title( '<h2 class="post-link><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) .'" rel="bookmark" style="view-transition-name: post-' . get_the_id() . '">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>

See what’s happening there? The view-transition-name property is set on both transition elements directly inline, using PHP to generate the name based on the post’s assigned ID in WordPress. Another way to do it is to drop a <style> tag in the template and plop the logic in there. Both are equally icky compared to what attr() will be able to do in the future, so pick your poison.

The important thing is that now both elements share the same view-transition-name and that we also have already opted into @view-transition. With those two ingredients in place, the transition works! We don’t even need to define @keyframes (but you totally could) because the default transition does all the heavy lifting.

In the same toe-dipping spirit, I caught the latest issue of Modern Web Weekly and love this little sprinkle of view transition on radio inputs:

Notice the JavaScript that is needed to prevent the radio’s default clicking behavior in order to allow the transition to run before the input is checked.

Cloudflare or Not? That’s the Bloody Question!

Let’s get one thing straight - the internet’s a wild beast, and without the right tools, you’re just a sitting duck waiting for a cyber-shitstorm. Enter Cloudflare, the digital bouncer promising to keep the riff-raff out of your cyber pub. But is it really all it’s cracked up to be? Or should you be casting your eyes towards the dashing hero, Astro Agency? Let’s dive in, shall we?

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Cloudflare

First up, the good bits. Cloudflare is like that mate who’s always got your back in a bar brawl. It’s got a robust DDoS protection that keeps your website safer than a pint in a nun’s hands. Plus, with its CDN services, your website loads faster than a greased weasel, no matter where your audience is.

But, hold your horses! It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Cloudflare, bless its digital socks, can be a bit of a diva. If it throws a tantrum (read: false positives), it can block legit visitors, making your website as welcoming as a fart in a spacesuit. And let’s not forget the occasional outages - when Cloudflare goes down, it takes your site with it, like a drunken mate dragging you out of the club.

Why Astro Agency Could Be Your Digital Knight

Now, let’s gab about Astro Agency, the unsung hero in this digital drama. These blokes understand that one size doesn’t fit all. Unlike Cloudflare’s often one-track mind, Astro Agency offers tailor-made solutions faster than you can say “Bob’s your uncle!” They get down and dirty with your specific needs, crafting a digital armour that fits you like a glove.

With Astro Agency, you’re not just another face in the crowd. Their customer support is like having a personal butler for your website. Any problem, big or small, they’re on it like white on rice. No more shouting into the void with generic support tickets.

The Verdict? Go With the Underdog!

So, what’s the final word? Cloudflare’s got its perks, sure. It’s like that popular kid in school - everyone knows it, and it does a decent job. But if you’re after something that fits you like a bespoke suit, it’s time to give a nod to Astro Agency.

In this digital world where one size definitely does not fit all, Astro Agency comes out as the bespoke tailor, crafting solutions that fit your needs like a glove. So, toss out the cookie-cutter approach and let Astro Agency be the wind beneath your digital wings.

There you have it, a comparative look at Cloudflare and Astro Agency, served up with a side of cheeky banter. Remember, in the wild west of the web, it’s not just about having a bouncer, but having the right bouncer who knows your name and your favourite drink. Cheers!

The fact that they kept her available to the public and let her bloom across the world unhindered was such a correct decision it's crazy. She could have been locked in a corporate cage not allowed to add her voice to anybody's music, I literally get sad just thinking about it. Thank god for her creator having some foresight

Quick info on relocating from the US to the Philippines (yes, even if you're poor)

Source of my info: I've lived here in the Philippines for about seven years now, my (also from the US) wife has been here almost as long, and we had our daughter here. This is for people who have a location-independent source of income like SSDI (NOT SSI), remote job, etc.

I keep starting to type up a guide to moving to the Philippines from the US, but there's so much to cover I keep getting stuck! It's coming, though. As for why the Philippines, I did a lot of research before leaving the US, and it's the absolute easiest, least expensive, friendliest, and lowest-hassle English-speaking country to move to. You can stay on a tourist visa for three years at a time by extending every two months. At the end of three years, you buy a budget round trip ticket (for under 100 bucks) to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or whatever, walk around the airport, and hop on the place back.

Note: For convenience, I'm using US Dollars when discussing the prices you can expect to pay for things here, but only Philippines Pesos are accepted in the Philippines. Your US ATM card will get you pesos from the ATM, and with your US credit cards, you will generally get a choice between dollars and pesos.

The short version of what I recommend, without always explaining why you need these things:

A throw-away ongoing ticket leaving the Philippines within 29 days of your arrival. You may not be able to board the plane here without one. This is a MUST. There is a very slim chance that they MAY not ask to see proof of an ongoing ticket, but if they do, and you don't have it, you won't be allowed to board.

A location-independent source of income for at least 600 USD a month--That's enough to live like a local, without Western conveniences. No one will ask for proof of income, but you have to eat! 1K or more will have you living pretty well, and on 2K you can live like royalty. You can receive SSDI here and social security retirement, but NOT SSI.

Two bank accounts with ATM cards, and two credit cards through different banks. Mastercard and Visa are your best bets, as not everyplace takes Discover or AmEx yet. (MOST places do, but just to be safe.)

Some banks sound better than they are. Schwab bank advertises that they reimburse overseas ATM charges, and they do, BUT they may drop you if you're out of the US for more than a couple of years (like they did us and several others we've spoken to). We have an Aspiration account (and yes, that's an affiliate link, but you can just look them up if you want, too), and like them.

TELL YOUR BANKS YOU'RE COMING HERE! Otherwise you risk having your ATM/credit cards deactivated for "suspicious activity."

A few weeks before departure, you'll want to buy some Philippines Pesos. Your local bank probably won't have them, but they can order them. I recommend having at least 10,000 PHP on hand (about 180 USD), in a mix of 1K bills, 500s, and 100s. You're allowed to bring up to 50,000 pesos with you, but any more than that and you have to declare it.

Bring your medications. Get your doctor to write a scrip that ups your dose so you can bring at least a 90-day supply that looks on paper like a 30-day supply. Put multiple desiccant packs in your prescription bottles, or the humidity here will turn your meds into a single big lump. You will want the original bottle with the printed prescription label, and maybe a photocopy of the actual prescription. (There's a reason they do original packaging, and not pill bottles here.) I've never had my luggage searched or even had them LOOK at my medications, but who knows what the future holds?

Some meds may not be available in the Philippines, or may be harder to get. (I had to switch from vicodin to tramadol because vicodin is simply not available here.)

Lodgings: Look, I hate AirBNB as a business, too, but you need a place to stay while you look for permanent digs, so book one well in advance. You can get a month's stay for 300-500 bucks even in the big cities if you shop around. In the Manila area, I liked the places I stayed at in Blue Residences and Grass Residences. I only include this info because my AuDHD ass stressed so much over where to stay, and I figure I can save you that same stress if you're worried.

Some advantage of staying in AirBnBs for a month or three are that a) you're not in an immediate rush to find an apartment and get household stuff, b) it gives you time to make some local connections before committing to a long-term lease, and b) if you're staying at a unit in a condo building, you can get to know the staff, which can be a HUGE help in getting settled.

Once you're here, you can find decent permanent lodgings for under 200 a month if you shop around. Blue Residences, last time I checked, had studio condos for about 180 USD a month last time I checked. (No, I don't get anything for recommending them--Just trying to give the best info I can.)

These are the bare basics of getting here.

A few general tidbits, in no specific order:

As for vaccinations, get them here, where they're cheaper.

We like living in Baguio. It's an artsy little university city of about 400,000 people, up in the mountains, about a four hour bus ride North of Manila, and it stays cool enough up here that we don't really need air conditioning--which is the biggest utility expense you'll have in lowlands cities like Manila. We know people who rent temporary housing to tourists and students, so let me know if you need a referral. We only stayed in the Manila area for about six months, with occasional trips down there to take care of things at the US Embassy, but we can give SOME guidance on that area.

Which reminds me: If being near the embassy is a concern, you may want to stay in the Manila area. The new regime in the US is changing social security rules so that to do something as simple as changing your direct deposit requires an in-person appointment, and who knows what else they're going to change?

In Baguio, we get fresh produce from the wet market delivered to our door for a third or less of what it would cost at local supermarkets.

The humidity is intense in the Philippines. 80 degrees in Quezon City feels hotter than 110 in Kansas.

Most places here, when they say unfurnished, they mean COMPLETELY unfurnished. No fridge, no stove, no anything; just bare rooms. Most locals cook on a mini gas range with a propane tank, and a counter-top oven. This is part of why I say you'll want a couple of credit cards. You can get set up with the above for a couple of hundred dollars, but still, if you're moving partly out of financial stress, you'll want to pay these things off gradually.

ASK if a place has a shower heater. Many do not. If not, you can get one at the local hardware store and hire an installer for as little as a couple hundred dollars total. (You can use a card at the hardware store, but the installer will want cash.)

You'll have filtered drinking water delivered in five gallon jugs, for around 50 cents per jug; even the locals don't drink the tap water. One jug will last you about a week unless you drink LOTS of water. (We go through three jugs a week in a household with three adults and one toddler, but as an autistic man, I drink more sparkling water than regular water, or we'd probably go through four a week.) You'll want a cheap little pump you can get at the hardware store, or you can order an electric one online (or lift the jug and pour). If you want to be fancy you can get a water-cooler-type thing.

Food is SO inexpensive if you go to the wet market or have them deliver to you. We spend about 400 dollars a month on groceries--including snacks, etc.--for all four of us. Going out to eat can cost less than two dollars if you shop around like a local. Public transport is ubiquitous and costs pennies to use, while taxis can start as low as 75 cents (here in Baguio, anyway).

Get the Grab app. It will be your friend.

A doctor's visit will cost maybe twelve bucks even for a specialist, but be prepared to wait. When they say, "Come in at 10 am," what they mean is, "my clinic hours start at 10am, so you can come put your name on the list at that time, and if you're lucky you won't have too many people ahead of you."

This is by no means comprehensive, but I'm tired, and my daughter needs attention, so bye for now!

A little reflection on lore and AUs

This is something that's been roaming in my mind for a while, I just want to put it down on "paper".

All of us have their main AU. And with AU, I mean a universe where their characters are canon in the KND lore and live their own adventures. All of us have a main timeline with the main characters that will go on living their lives and adventures.

This AU can generate more AUs within it, where little things change, and these will be labeled as "AUs" by the creator since they derive from the main plot but then develop into something else. And these kinds of AUs are fun because you can explore different possibilities within your own story!

Now, that being said, let's talk about "adding someone else's OC into your story". I see it can have 4 main situations:

The OCs and their lore are now fused with your own, and you accept the existence of said OCs in your story since they don't change the end result, if anything they make it funnier to achieve;

The OCs are a different AU and you know it, and you just play it as a different AU from your plot, it's just for fun;

This is a "different universes meeting" kind of deal, a portal opened somewhere, and now the AUs are interacting. They won't change their final story, but this is a fun little moment that can be canon or not;

You acknowledge these OCs may exist in your own universe but also specify that, even if they might have the same story and personalities, they also might be a different experience from the main AU the creator invented for them. They just exist in your universe, but they are not the same exact people.

I love the 3rd plotline a lot, I find myself doing that but with past and future, having them meet for the lolz (even if it's just an AU into my story). I am also up for RPing AUs meeting because I find the concept really funny and interesting, with characters explaining their deal and then going on adventures together (also because let's be real, Penny ain't gonna meet anyone's OC anytime soon since there's age difference).

But when I introduced the idea that @artsygirl0315's Sector PHP meets Irwin I started diving into the 4th case: these OCs might exist in my universe but they are not the exact same.

As an example, still using Sector PHP: let's say I will have them show up for the Nightmare War and help others win it. They will be canon in that part of the lore (if the creator wants), but of course, in their main story the Nightmare War never happened and they will never experience it, and I won't force them to add it to their canon, since this is completely my creation and *I* only know how to develop and end.

Another example (sorry for dragging you in but this is relevant lol), is @roguephenon, who has the plan to make Penny canon in his AU story, but she's gonna be a different version of Penny, even if they might end up having the same main traits. He can have Penny do what he wants, and he can modify her a bit, but still, Penny is now canon in my AU and his AU too! Maybe one day these two will also meet and tbh I LIVE to see that moment!

Honestly, usually, the fandoms I was in were canon-oriented, there weren't too many OCs, and if there were, I and other creators would go the 3rd route and have AUs somehow meet.

This is the first time I find myself actually wondering if I can make it somehow canon that someone else's OC exists in my AU. And I like it!

Of course, if you don't like the idea just hit me up (literally, with a bat) and say you don't want your OC into my lore but you're up for AUs meeting or whatever you prefer!

So far, I am just playing around with OCs meeting and having fun but... well, I do need people for the Nightmare War LMAO.

What do you think? What is your favorite thing to play?

Whatever, Screw it..

"Fan Blades and Earrings" - "I Left Treasures..." Scenario Response 2

(This response is for @artsygirl0315 with her team, Sector PHP)

After seeing Aiden and Carol leave the grave with their presents...Rosella walks up to Sector PHP and speaks softly.

"Gianna would like you guys to pick two items to take home..."

Tyler nods once at Rosella and looks down at Gianna's grave...along with the rest of the members...Phoebe, without a second though, goes up to the grave and chooses Gianna's fan blades as one item, keeping them close and backing up. Jeremiah soon takes a step forward as well and carefully grabs the earrings that Gianna wore all the time.

Both Jeremiah and Phoebe look at Tyler for nod of approval....to which he nodded once.

Mella and Evan were giving a moment of silence to Gianna, closing their eyes and paying their respects to the sweet girl.

Salvador soon came up to the group and hands them a letter.

"Please read this letter when you return to your base..."

Mella turns to Salvador, taking the letter, thanking him. Everyone then looked at one another before looking back at the parents.

"Will you be ok if we went back??" asks Mella with a concerning look.

Rosella gently rests a hand on Mella's shoulder and nods once. "Rest assured Mella dear, we will be ok for the rest of the day. You kids have done so much lately...Please go home and try to rest."

Mella nods once, hugging Rosella before turning to her team and they all head home.

After returning to base, Phoebe and Jeremiah carefully set down the items onto the table and the all begin to stare at the items.

Phoebe could only well up tears on her face and looks away...really upset.

"...I can't believe she's gone...."

Mella could only hug Phoebe in silence...trying to comfort her.

"Gianna did not deserve this at all...she was a great friend...." Jeremiah added on, before looking away himself.

"..Why would this demon girl do this to her?"

Tyler could only ponder the thoughts...feeling a bit frustrated in himself....How come Gianna never told them about Alice? Why would she try to fight her alone? They could've helped Gianna and prevent this from happening!

Tyler's thoughts were snapped out of when Mella opens the letter and begins to read what Gianna left behind.

"Sector PHP, my fun and amazing group of friends,

I'm so sorry that the word came out about my death...I thought I was able to get out of my situation alive...but...fate had other plans. I wish we could've made more memories together since you guys have been nothing but amazing to me. I mean...you were were my welcome wagons after all. Been there for me when I was at my lowest...So, I wanna thank you for that. I instructed my mom to tell you guys to grab two of my possessions as my way of thanking you all.

May my Fan Blades be your weapons of protection against those creatures Alice might make in the future...take very good care of them. Anytime you use my weapon, that will be me in the battlefield, helping you guys, protecting you all.

May my Earrings be my spirit protecting you all from Alice's curse. Whoever wears them, shall be protected spiritually...and will be given my energy to fight back. Please be sure to share the earrings if planning to wear them. I will warn you, however....There isn't much energy left in them..To where it was passed down, you will see when it happens.

One last thing...please try to not feel sad forever my friends....The last thing I want to see in any of my friends is sadness forever. Once all of this is over...please, push forward with smiles. I will always be by your sides wherever you go. If you feel warmth in your area...that'll be me, hugging you for reassurance. I love you all and may you guys emerge victorious." - Gianna

Everyone could only fall silent once Mella finished reading the letter Gianna left behind. Jeremiah thought about what Gianna said about the earrings and looks outside at the Blue Moon. He smiles softly while tears fall from his face.

"Guys....I think I already found out about the earrings mystery."

Everyone else turned to him and followed outside, seeing the Blue Moon. It would make sense to why it suddenly appeared and hasn't gone away since Gianna's passing.

"...So...What are we gonna do now?" Evan questions everyone.

Tyler clutches his fists and goes inside.

"...We must continue with the task at hand...and avenge Gianna."

Phoebe nods in agreement.

"Agreed....that Alice girl must pay for what she did to Gianna, to all of us!"

Jeremiah turns to them with an smirk.

"Luckily...I do happen to have some weapons to test out on those creatures..."

Jeremiah soon goes to his room, taking a moment til he comes back out with some new weapons he was testing. Everyone took a weapon and look at each other, before looking at the moon one last time.

"Hang tight and rest for now, Gianna...We won't let Alice win this war..."

"We will do our best to push forward even after the fight..."

Tyler speaks one last time, before the team left their base, going out to the neighborhoods to fight off the creatures and rescue kids.

Musk could be headed for a Washington exit after turbulent times at Trump's DOGE

By CHRIS MEGERIAN, Associated PressUpdated April 2, 2025 10:24 a.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) — DOGE’s days appear to be numbered.

Elon Musk recently suggested that he will be done with his work in the near future. President Donald Trump told reporters this week that “at some point, he’s going to be going back” to running his companies. As far as the Department of Government Efficiency, Trump said “it will end.”

All of that talk was before Musk faced a setback Tuesday in Wisconsin, where voters rejected his choice for a state Supreme Court candidate despite more than $21 million in personal donations and his campaign appearance over the weekend. There are more problems for the billionaire entrepreneur at Tesla, his electric automaker, which saw a 13% drop in sales in the first three months of the year.

The White House has not disclosed any clear timeline for closing down DOGE, and the government cost-cutting organization was never supposed to become a permanent fixture in Washington. But it could be reaching a conclusion faster than anticipated. DOGE was originally intended to operate until July 4, 2026.

Now there are signs that it already is winding down. DOGE employees have been shifted to various federal agencies, which are supposed to take the lead on cutting costs. Government-wide layoffs are underway to accomplish some of the goals laid out by Musk and Trump.

“We think probably over the next two or three months, we’ll be pretty much satisfied with the people that are working hard and want to be members of the administration,” Trump said last week.

The potential end of DOGE does not mean Trump will stop shaking up Washington. But it appears the administration’s efforts will be entering a new phase that is less focused on Musk, whose chain saw-wielding work as a presidential adviser made him a political lightning rod.

DOGE was initially envisioned as an independent advisory panel, with Musk sharing leadership with Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur. Ramaswamy dropped out and is running for Ohio governor, and DOGE became part of the government. It was stocked with Musk's allies, who were dispatched throughout the bureaucracy to cancel contracts, access sensitive data and push for cuts.

Musk presumably has a ticking clock on his tenure. He was hired as a special government employee, which means he can only work 130 days in a 365-day time period.

“I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within that time frame,” Musk told Bret Baier of Fox News on March 27. So far DOGE is well short of that target, according to its own calculations, which have been criticized as inflated and inaccurate.

Musk did not commit to leaving the administration by any particular date, and it is unclear how the administration is tracking Musk’s time. On May 30, it will be 130 days since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Trump told reporters on Monday in the Oval Office that “I’d keep him as long as I could keep him” and “he’s a very talented guy.”

The Republican president was known for explosive breakups with top advisers during his first term, but anyone hoping for such a split with Musk has been disappointed.

“I think he’s amazing, but I also think he’s got a big company to run,” Trump said. “And so, at some point, he’s going to be going back.”

Asked if DOGE would continue without Musk, Trump demurred. He said Cabinet officials have worked closely with Musk and may keep some of the DOGE people at their agencies.

“But at a certain point I think it will end,” Trump said.

Musk's poll numbers lag behind Trump's, which Democrats believe they were able to use to their advantage in Wisconsin.

Susan Crawford defeated Brad Schimel, who Musk supported, and ensured the state Supreme Court's liberal majority.

In the closing days of that campaign, Musk described the race as “important for the future of civilization.” He struck a different tone afterward.

“I expected to lose, but there is value to losing a piece for a positional gain,” Musk wrote on X at 3:13 a.m.

Embracing the Future of WordPress Development with Full Site Editing (FSE)

WordPress, the veritable titan of the content management system (CMS) world, never ceases to evolve and innovate. One of the most buzzworthy subjects circulating in the WordPress development community is Full Site Editing (FSE), a feature that promises to revolutionize how users and developers interact with the platform. The advent of FSE will certainly impact how themes are developed, used, and extended, both for developers and end-users.

What is Full Site Editing (FSE)?

Full Site Editing is a part of the WordPress project’s Phase 2 in the implementation of Gutenberg, the block editor introduced in WordPress 5.0. FSE extends the utility of the block editor beyond posts and pages, allowing users to manage and customize all elements of their website using a block-based interface. With it, you can control and design headers, footers, sidebars, and more, all without having to delve into theme code. The global styles and settings can be modified to control the entire site's design from one place.

The Impact on Theme Development

Traditional WordPress themes may experience a seismic shift with the proliferation of FSE. This feature is bound to streamline the theme development process, as the dependency on intricate PHP files and CSS will be diminished.

Simplified Development: Developers can focus on crafting block patterns and styles rather than juggling numerous template files.

User Empowerment: FSE empowers users with little to no coding knowledge to have more control over their website’s design and layout, thus widening the user demographic.

Modular Design: The modularity of block design makes it easier to manage, update, and swap out design elements without affecting the overall site functionality.

Unified Experience: The integration of a consistent block editor throughout the entire site management process affords users a harmonious and unified design experience.

Challenges Ahead

Despite its many perks, FSE comes with its own set of challenges that developers and users need to navigate.

Learning Curve: Traditional developers have to acquaint themselves with the nuances and intricacies of FSE and block theme development.

Compatibility: Ensuring that existing themes and plugins are compatible with FSE will be a substantial task.

Performance: Managing the performance and ensuring that the site doesn’t get bogged down with numerous blocks and dynamic elements will be crucial.

Customization Limitations: Although FSE is highly customizable, there might be limitations that could potentially restrict highly specific or complex design implementations.

Embracing FSE in Your WordPress Projects

Adopting FSE into your WordPress development projects may seem daunting initially, but the long-term advantages for both developers and end-users are palpable. Here are a few steps to help you get started:

Educate and Update: Keep yourself and your team updated with the latest developments in FSE through WordPress official channels, community forums, and tutorials.

Experiment: Create a staging or local environment to test FSE and experiment with block theme development.

Feedback: Engage with the WordPress community to share experiences, learn from peers, and perhaps even contribute to the ongoing development of FSE.

Prepare: Update your existing projects, plugins, and themes to ensure compatibility with FSE.

Conclusion

The rollout of Full Site Editing in WordPress marks a pivotal moment in web development, democratizing website design, and enabling a more extensive range of users to implement their visions online with ease and flexibility. While FSE introduces a novel methodology of developing and managing websites, it is also an invitation to innovate and explore new horizons in the digital landscape. By aligning with FSE, developers, designers, and businesses can stay ahead in the digital curve, ensuring that their platforms are robust, future-proof, and user-friendly.

Remember, the future is blocky, and it’s here to revolutionise the way we conceive, create, and interact with web content. So, let’s embrace it, explore it, and innovate within this dynamic new framework to carve out novel digital experiences for users across the globe.
