PHP Hangs On Numeric Value 2.2250738585072011e-308 – Exploring Binary
“I stumbled upon a very strange bug in PHP; this statement sends it into an infinite loop:<?php $d = 2.2250738585072011e-308; ?>The same thing happens if you write the number without scientific notation — 324 decimal places.”

Looks like it only affects 32bit PHP.

A Prettier More Usable Skype 5 Mac Beta
The new beta features some long overdue performance updates all across the board, and would be just what the doctor ordered if it werent for the fact that it also brings forth the worst fears of many Skype for Mac users, a user interface reminiscent of the latest horrible in my opinion Windows versions.

There’s still hundreds of problems with the new GUI, which is big and clunky.

Terminal in Mac OS X
Quick post about a few setup tricks for the Mac OS X Terminal, which is pretty braindead at its default settings.
First of all, open Terminal -> Preferences and the Settings-pane, then select the Keyboard-tab.
Change the keys accordingly:
| end | \033[4~ |
| home | \033[1~ |
| page down | \033[6~ |
| page up | \033[5~ |
| shift page down | scroll to next page in buffer |
| shift page up | scroll to previous page in buffer |
This sends end, home, page up/down to the shell instead of the scroll buffer, and uses the shift-modifier for page up/down to scroll, like in every other terminals of this world. Now for this to also work with Mac OS X’ default braindead bash-settings, you’ll need a ~/.inputrc file.
