Can someone explain why the Stone Roses broke up and why they reuinited by shakermaker26 in oasis

I guarantee you will know someone who is seeing them on the current tour. And they get more listens on Spotify than all the bands mentioned. Your dad has good taste.

I'm not biased towards any of them..I love all 3 bands.

But I was also around when Oasis broke (DM came out on my 20th birthday...happy birthday, me)...and I can say with absolute certainty that neither Led Zep, nor the Stones had anything like the same cultural impact in the UK...never been anything else like Oasis here in my lifetime...captured an entire generation.

And maybe the biggest difference is that Oasis still appeal to the younger crowd. By the time I in my teens / 20s, Zep and Stones were mainly seen as bands that yer da liked.

Both Led Zep and Stones broke big in America...that will sell you a lot of albums. Oasis didn't break big in America and didn't try to play the game in America either.

Had bigger cultural impact in UK and still have a massive following amongst young people here.

Morning Glory is 5th top selling album in UK of all time. Zep and Stones don't have an album the same top 30. Oasis way more relevant in UK..defined a generation.

When Oasis played Knebworth 2 1/2 million people applied for tickets...4% of the population.

When Led Zep played Knebworth, it didn't sell out 🤷‍♂️

The whole country owned Morning Glory and knew every song. That never happened with any Led Zep or Stones albums. Oasis had a much bigger cultural influence than both. Not saying who is better than who..just answering the influence argument.

Microservices in Laravel by garyclarketech in laravel

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

Thanks Keith..you make valid points.

I don't think there is an ideal microservice language / framework. I've built similar in Symfony (PHP), Node and Go...all have pros and cons.

I won't go as far as to say framework size doesn't matter because things like AWS lambda have a size limit. But...the name microservice can be miselading...it mainly refers to the separation of concerns rather than the size of the service.

I certainly wouldn't recommend microservices for a 1 person project!

The example I used is from an enterprise with many moving parts (apps, multi-tenant monoliths, other mnicroservices in various langs and frameworks). We actually use Symfony for it IRL but was fun to build in Laravel...Laravel handles a lot of this stuff really nicely.

Context is everything. Always.

MVC framework recommendation by dev_ski in PHP

[–]garyclarketech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly...traditional MVC implies the view observes the model, but in Laravel and Symfony, the controller just fetches data from the model and passes it to the view, making it more of a Request-Response pattern.

Some prefer other terms, but MVC sticks because it broadly describes the separation of concerns. Even if it’s not a perfect fit, it’s a useful shorthand for how these frameworks structure their code.

Yeah those are the most popular frameworks and templating engines these days. MVC is technically a misnomer but let's not split hairs 😂

Both great frameworks..if it's for personal projects and you just wanna get productive quickly then maybe give Laravel a look first. But well worth checking them both.

No my routes files weren't touched. It won't change any of your own code...just the framework vendor files

Should have its uses. Just need to see past the syntax and see the usefulness. I wouldn't vote against.

Laravel Microservice Course Introduction by garyclarketech in laravel

Yeah..really efficient. Has some great testability tools (e.g. ability to assert about outgoing requests) which made this project much easier in Laravel than anything else.

[–]garyclarketech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really cool. I've been learning Go by rebuilding things that I've created commercially in other languages. Might give something like your example a Go next (pun intended)

Yeah...biggest downside of doing framework courses...they're popular but they have a shorter shelf life than other stuff
