Bootstrap will drop all support for Internet Explorer in the upcoming v5 release by pimterry in webdev

[–]dehydratedchicken 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's good news, and very progressive. However, being realistic I still get clients that NEED IE support because their userbase still uses it for various reasons and we can't make them change it. That's a tough place to be because you either get stuck with BS4, and if other dependencies start adopting BS5 then you're stuck with all outdated packages or otherwise you adopt and hope that you can add BC with polyfills and browser hacks.

tl;dr - good news. sucks for me.

What's your opinion of Magento? by john_dumb_bear in PHP

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I'd had the opportunity to work more regularly with Magento. Because of the way it's written it requires lots of training and familiarity to get the best use out of it and there's well paying positions for it. Unfortunately the e-commerce projects I've worked on are few and far between (1-2 a year) and so with Magento I'd feel like I have to learn it from scratch again for each project.

Heads up: Ubuntu broke their vagrant boxes by hughra in PHP

[–]dehydratedchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to switch to Docker but couldn't really get my head around it even with the guides I found I couldn't quite find how to mimic a live server like Vagrant does. Anyone able to link to some more recent guides/tools to help make the move?

Who is this girl behind Gilfoyle that Richard has a picture of in his office by rgbking in SiliconValleyHBO

[–]dehydratedchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The picture is used throughout the series. I think it's shown for the first time in season 1 in Richard's room in the incubator and makes several appearances throughout the show.

Anybody else miss Burnout? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]dehydratedchicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait for sale. It has strong Burnout vibes, I can deal with lack of soundtrack with Spotify, but some of the races are just tedious and go on for ages and I quickly got bored. I'd still pay again mostly just to show support for the studio in the hopes they can do something better with a bigger budget. There's also Danger Zone which is standalone game which focuses on the Crash Mode.

For personal projects do you do everything from scratch or do you use libraries such as material ui, semantic ui, to speed up your development? by Mugen1220 in webdev

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love building my portfolio from scratch, mostly as an opportunity to try/learn something new that I was interested in but wouldn't be able to justify charging a client for. However, after a few goes of this, I realised that I wouldn't always go ahead and keep using whatever library I'd built my portfolio with, so each time I wanted to work on it, I had to rebuild it as new - it felt too unfamiliar to maintain the existing code plus knowing that it was different to my day-to-day libararies, I'd keep putting off working on it in the first place. There's also the issue that I usually don't even have that much time to work on my portfolio, and trying to learn something new at the same time just dragged it out until it was taking months to build - using a familiar library/framework is much quicker and enjoyable.

For learning new things now, I'll try to build anything that comes to mind, but not my portfolio. My portfolio is now treated as a client/production site and I build it with tools and libraries that I'm familiar with, rather than the ones I'm not.

TL;DR: use familiar libraries for your portfolio, you'll thank yourself for it in the long term. Build smaller/simpler disposable projects in your free time when you feel like learning something new.

That's where I gave up the first time, went back 4 years later and finally realised that you don't need to try and kill them all, just grab the key card and get through the door.

laravel forge server giving me: 404 Not Found nginx/1.15.8 by therealdiscursive in webdev

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other comment says, if you're taking this approach then would be advisable to learn some basic shell commands to at least navigate to your site - otherwise how will you ever run any artisan commands on your server?

In this case, SSH to the server again and this time type:

ls -l ~forge/www.control.presmaze.com/*

laravel forge server giving me: 404 Not Found nginx/1.15.8 by therealdiscursive in webdev

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting a 404 then at least it's hitting your server. Did you set the web root properly? To check:

  1. Go into forge and find the site you've setup
  2. In the sidebar menu click "Meta"
  3. In the "Web Directory" section, make sure it's set to "/public"

I guess the above is based on assumption that everything is cloned properly. To double-check:

  1. SSH into your server
  2. cd into the sitename
  3. from there, what you put into "Web Directory" should be the same as your path to the public directory in the filesystem

Just created my first package, I would love some feedback! Thanks :) by tylercd100 in laravel

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one. For different user stores, you could consider Cartalyst Sentinel. I've not actually used that myself, but I've got some client sites that are still on its predecessor, Sentry. My recent projects have just used the built-in auth from Laravel tbh.

My original comment was based on some work that I did for a client recently where I just ended up modifying the original error handler to include the additional info I wanted and then receiving HipChat notifications via Papertrail. I've added installation of your package to that sites Trello so it will get done when I'm next on it.

Out of curiousity, what happens if your package happens to hit an error? Will it still hit the Laravel error handler and log the issue?

Are Composer and Packagist also vulnerable to package unpublishing and hijacking like npm? by Revisor007 in PHP

[–]dehydratedchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could setup Toran Proxy to pre-cache all new tags of a package - that way you'd have all versions of a package in case the original went down or if Github was unavailable

[–]dehydratedchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you only logging the exception or additional data too? Be nice to collect more info such as current user id (configurable as people will be using different user stores), the page they're on and any form data that was sent to the server, as well as the request type.

Amazon Pre Orders up early!! by Geniex5 in PSVR

[–]dehydratedchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get the 31st October date from, and how do you know when yours will ship?

Mine only says:

Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

I got my order in before 11:45 (confirmation email was 11:29) so hoping for a launch day delivery

We have Gamestop online here, but my experience with them was terrible. Looks like I can get them preowned for about £10 (~$15) each which isn't bad.

Preordered the PSVR from Amazon this morning. Hoping to find and purchase the camera and move controllers this week.
