@shaedrich@mastodon.online It's union. But be careful in PHP: numeric strings are converted to numbers. So ["2" => 2], which in theory fits the type, is not possibile in PHP. The key gets converted to a int and so the value is supposed to be a bool but it is not.

@dseguy@phpc.social It's all about knowledge and coupling.

For C to call A, it needs to know A well enough to decide it really wants to call that particular ancestor behavior instead of its direct parent.

This level of knowledge (coupling) is quite bad, and it's widely accepted that inheritance is bad for this, right?

Honestly, the fact the language makes calling arbitrary ancestors behavior with shared state (because if the method contains $this it will resolve to C) it is a good thing IMO :)

@maccath@phpc.social @kraftner@mastodon.social @adactio@mastodon.social Very intersting stuff. I could not imagine this coming from a country where I _had to_ have ID verification for my 3yo(!) to get basically... anything. Knowing this, the fack UK became one of the first countries in Europe to implement online age verification is mind blowing.

@shawnhooper Good post for the "political" part, less so for the technical part. Some technical points *are* good but also very old, some are blunders or strawman at best.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Tevere has 3 syllables, but yeah

@emd@cosocial.ca First, if it's a class method, don't use Brain Monkey, but the Mockery directly. Brain Monkey brings Mockery features to functions, for object methids you don't need it.

Anyway, the mock/stub is reset when you call Monkey\tearDown() at the end of every test case (in PHPUnit you do It in test class' tearDown()). If in the same test case you need different mock/stub for same function, just do the stub/mock again. The second time it will override what you had before.

@dominik that one client has probably plugins using native PHP time/date functions instead of WP functions

@ramsey@phpc.social sounds very italian! We say "verità" for "truth" and "veramente" for "truly". And, yes, we use "veramente" as an intensifier, but that also true for "truly", right?
