When I open *.xt files from Dolphin on my KDE Plasma desktop Dolphin would lock up while kcachegrind ran and then when I exited kcachegrind Dolphin would complain:
KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kcachegrind'
So what I’ve done is to create a custom kcachegrind.sh script to run xcachegrind properly and then re-associated *.xt files (application/x-kcachegrind) with the new script in Dolphin.
Bug fixed!

Putting these settings in /etc/php/7.2/apache/php.ini did the job:
[XDebug]
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp/xdebug
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%p.%u.%H.%R.xt
The cachegrind files are now written to /tmp/xdebug.
Well someone is/was upset: Software disenchantment. I really liked the image of the design process: simple -> complex then complex -> simple. Maybe that’s the answer to Nikita’s woes: we’re just not finished yet.
A fun article on Hacker News today with the maxim: if you’re stuck for over an hour, seek help.
This popped up on lobsters today: Chrome Platform Status: CSS usage. It’s a report on the prevalence of CSS properties as found in the wild. It’s interesting. I was surprised by some things. e.g. ‘display’ and ‘position’ are more prevalent than ‘padding’ and ‘margin’.
This security.txt looks like a good idea.
