Welcome to the personal website of Tobias Schlitt. Please select a sub-site above or directly follow a blog post in one of my blogs below.

The aggregation of my 3 different blogs below, mixes all of these sections.
Ilia recently brought up the topic of scalar type hints again. I would love scalar type hints, but a sensible implementation is not easy. I summarize some approaches in this post and talk about the problems they raise.

In Deutschland sieht es leider noch nicht ganz so gut aus, aber immerhin sind 0,9% auf Bundesebene schon mal ein guter Anfang. Doch jetzt muss es weiter gehen: Schlummernde Piraten wecken ist die Devise! Mehr dazu, ein paar kleine Piraten-Statistiken und die Wahlergebnisse vom Bundeswahlleiter als SQLite-Datenbank zur Erzeugung eigener Statistiken in diesem Artikel...

We always supposed, that the Subversion performance issues here resulted from the Webdav test suite, which consists of an awful lot of small test files and some sub-directories. I finally found the time to refactor the tests and the performance improvement is astonishing.

In this article I take up my controversal thesis, that it might be wise to create your own framework, and explain my view in detail.

Read more...Als Ur-Trekky konnte ich es mir nicht nehmen lassen, den neuen Star Trek-Film im Kino anzusehen. Mit gemischten Gefühlen, wie ich zugeben muss: Die Original Star Trek-Filme sowie die Serie habe ich im zarten Alter von ca. 14 Jahren das erste mal gesehen und verschlungen.
