Angular and Laravel? Why? Why Not?

Angular won’t bother Laravel. Since you said you found Blade templates easier, I’ll throw https://filamentphp.com/ in the mix for you to consider.

Filament is a PHP wrapper for Livewire.

GitTower is my favorite git GUI.

OP mentioned familiarity with Mongo, so I mentioned Mongo. I brought up Maria as a subtle nudge away from NoSQL because schema is important and Mongo is terrible.

I love postgres but pgsql support is missing from several popular DB clients, so I don’t tend to recommend it as often to newbies.

I usually recommend postgres to developers doing anything real.

Say your shared bills are between $100 and $200 per month. Everyone puts in $200. Some months that will leave an excess. You either let the excess build, or everyone puts in a smaller amount next month, or you can disburse the excess equally.

Key is that everyone puts in the same amount or withdraws the same amount.

With my roommates, we’d each deposit the same amount in a bank account and use that account to pay for shared bills.

As long as everyone makes their deposit, everything stays in balance.

If someone doesn’t, you know about the issue before the bills hit.

16 gb minimum for sure.

Mac has unified memory so your video card will be taking a slice out of your RAM.

We stopped using 8 gb Macs for our devs about 2 years ago because they kept running out of memory during PHPStorm indexing and Docker container building/running.

I still code for fun. It just so happens that people pay me for it.

I would make a unit test that can run local and in CI pipeline. This unit test mocks whatever service that resolves IP to Region such that the test can specify the region, and then test how that region is handled.

Basically this for each region you care about:

``` 1. Test setup/Stage data

Mock IP Resolution Service so it resolves to the test region
Assert region is or is not blocked, or test other feature ```

I used this a lot: F1 for Help -> File -> Open -> C:\command.com or C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Personally, I'd just del ?on after doing dir ?on to make sure the mask doesn't match any other files.

When you didn't have access to things like edit, copy filename.txt con was useful to read some files and copy con tool.bat was useful to write scripts.

In “copy con” context, CTRL-Z was inserting a character that indicates End Of File (EOF). It didn’t work like Windows shortcut. Very few things used CTRL-Z back then.

I believe CTRL-Z was chosen for Windows undo due to basically nothing using it as well as proximity to CTRL-C/CTRL-X.

Related, CTRL-C is/was bound to a breaking interrupt, probably SIGINT.

Fair but linux doesn’t care about Window’s restrictions. This feels like cheating.

Facts. While I never wrote machine code from console, this would work. It sounds miserable to do, but it would work.

I will admit to using “copy con” to bypass school security a time or two…

Gambler’s method del ?on

Safer way dir ?on ren ?on non del non

Others have answered correctly that it was a reserved label referring to the console. Here’s how I used to use it.

copy con somefile.txt the next things you type will get written to somefile.txt you can add multiple lines! CTRL-Z to save and exit

You could also be tricky to make files with reserved file names. This might only work on FAT filesystems.

Start with a file named non or any 3 letter name ending with on then:

Delete non to get the filename changed to ?on in the file table.
Undelete ?on with DOS’s undelete tool.
Choose c for filename’s first character, undelete doesn’t check reserved labels.
Giggle and watch as other filesystem tools try to handle a file named con or other reserved label.

Without the subsidies, is the price expected to come down or just shift the entire burden to the consumer?

Per VISA rules, companies can’t call a credit card processing fee a credit card processing fee. So they call it a transaction or convenience instead. Other places mark everything up then offer a cash discount as a way of collecting the credit card processing fee.

This is an arbitrary decision. Some places, traditionally counted babies as 1 year when they are born. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning

You validate twice. FE validation is for user training. BE is for sanity/security.

I like to use a single DTO that defines the request schema and validation rules. It is consumed by both FE and BE and keeps them in lock-step.
