The lyrics of ‘Spring, Spring, Spring’ as sung by Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are gloriously insane.

From

‘While there's no antelope / who feels that he can't elope’

to

‘To itself, each amoeba / softly croons, "Ach, du Lieber"’

…those rhymes!

#American #poetry question

Does some kind #English #literature expert know what kind of #pennant Walt #Whitman was referring to by "a pennant universal " in the poem "Today a rude brief recitative of ships" in #Leaves of #Grass ?

And the Rangers take the #pennant.. they really have been dominant this October

Braves kick ass.
Like for real.
#pennant

So it turns out the earlier text about a #Death #Custom in #Wales was an extract pilfered from #Pennant. My man had a knack for content lifting from others without attribution (including Washington Irving!). And then on top of it, he himself merrily copy-pasted entire sections across his own material. On the upswing, this really helps attributing unsigned/anonymously published texts to my man, even though you can never shake the feeling of dejavu even when you read a hitherto unknown text.

Had to implement feature flags in a Laravel codebase. I thought I'd give Pennant a try as it is part of Laravel 10 - a bit overcomplicated for my needs at present but this blog post helped to use it for simple global flags https://elliotderhay.com/blog/how-to-make-laravel-pennant-features-that-apply-globally
#Laravel #Pennant #FeatureFlags

Rollout lets you create new feature flags on the fly just by writing the call to check if they're active, you can opt users into it from the commandline, it properly deactivates features when told to, it doesn't hamper performance at all, and a simple helper function is all I need for Blade integration.

Is there a good reason to use #Laravel #Pennant considering it requires more overhead?
