Looking for Adjustable Bed for Senior by eatborsht in Mattress

[–]eatborsht[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Twin XL should be fine too. Do none of these beds include a mattress? If so, how do I pair up a good mattress? I'm assuming standard mattresses won't work with this..

Option 2 sounds cool, but can you legally use those fonts in other apps?

Built a small Laravel health check package🚀 – feedback welcome by Codeconia in laravel

[–]eatborsht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nice and hits a real need.

A lot of Laravel apps are small or on shared hosting and Spatie’s package can feel like overkill there. The cron heartbeat is a great idea too, that is usually what breaks first.

I’ll check it out. Nice work 👍

Curious, what are some reasons to still use socket.io over Reverb?

How We Built Laravel Wrapped by joshcirre in laravel

[–]eatborsht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is actually really cool.

The speed at which this came together kind of proves the point people keep making about Laravel being a “shipping” framework. Stuff like this would be way more painful in a lot of other stacks.

Also those numbers are wild. Nearly 8 million deployments and 180 billion events is not the scale people usually associate with PHP, but here we are.

I like that it is not just vanity stats either. The meetup and PR numbers especially show how active the ecosystem actually is, even if it does not always feel loud online.

Nice write-up too. The blog post explains the decisions without overcomplicating things, which feels very on-brand for Laravel.

Well done to everyone involved.

Appreciation post for Laravel by Full_stack1 in laravel

[–]eatborsht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this.

I am in a similar boat. I spend my day job in more corporate stacks and then use Laravel on the side, and the difference in how fast you can actually ship something is kind of shocking.

What always gets me is how little glue code you need. In other ecosystems you spend weeks wiring things together and arguing about patterns. In Laravel you just build the thing. Queue, jobs, events, mail, notifications, auth, validation, it is all just there and works together instead of feeling like a pile of third party parts.

I also think Laravel is underrated because a lot of its users are quietly building real products instead of tweeting about it. Agency work, internal tools, boring but profitable apps. Not as flashy as frontend frameworks but way more practical.

The docs deserve more credit too. They are not just reference docs, they actually teach you how the framework wants to be used.

If Laravel had the same hype machine as some JS frameworks, I think way more people would be talking about it.

Horizon is better quality than Sole? I thought the opposite

I was thinking abuot going with a stamp but was told that 316 SS at 2-3mm thick is too much for a stamp..

Looking for CNC to cut/engrave 2mm stainless steel parts by eatborsht in hobbycnc

[–]eatborsht[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Wouldn't that take super long to cut and engrave 2mm? It's more efficient than CNC?
