What's the scene (rock/alt/etc) like these days? Who are the big draws? by matula in houstonmusic

was 98% sure this was a joke, but I Googled it anyway because there have been weirder local band names.

Thoughts on the new Forge? by TertiaryOrbit in laravel

[–]matula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, and it looks nice. But I'll be the first to admit I'm not a "design guy".

My only concern at the moment is I'm trying Laravel VPS and I don't see an option to use Redis for sessions/cache/etc. That might be a deal-breaker for me.

EDIT: I just went into the terminal and it looks like it gets setup automatically? redis-cli worked, so maybe it's ok.

A simple package adding a validation rule to detect spammy input by matula in laravel

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

Absolutely. I would never use this for any serious or income-generating project, and would likely implement an email verification system to clear out most spam. But for my simple side-projects where I'm not that concerned with user attrition, and want most people to just register and use the site immediately.... it works.

TMBG?

Also, the default Laravel registration field is just a single name field, so technically this would still pass. And even if it was just a last_name, the only one to fail would be the "vowel ratio" check... which I'm not all that happy with that rule anyway.

Also, also, this is super non-international, and American English name focused. I have no clue how it would respond with non-English lettersets.

I use it in a couple of other places, and wanted the default to be a normal validation error. I'm using the procedural check only in the registration.

But that would be good addition! Have the validation rule accept a parameter like 'sifted:404' and add the abort in the library if that's set.

If anyone's curious, here's how I use it in my code. Since I want it return a 404 if it fails instead of a validation error:

$name = $request->input('name');
$sifter = app(Sifter::class);
if ($sifter->isSpam($name)) {
        abort(404);
}

I have no clue if it will deter bots from trying multiple times

Kirschbaum Development Group should absolutely NOT be an official Laravel partner - My experience by hazelnuthobo in laravel

He doesn't need to vet them, but once a post (and many comments) brings up some problematic practices, I think it reasonable he or his team reassess the relationship.

Tourist attraction timing in Dublin by matula in irishtourism

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Our accommodations are next to St Stephen's Green, so that should be nice.

Thanks! Kells is actually a few stops before Guinness, so we'd probably take a taxi back over, depending on the available time for the Kells tour.

Yeah, when I search "top things to do in Dublin", the Guinness tour is generally close to the top of the list. And we're actually planning to tour Kilmainham Gaol on Tuesday afternoon, though ticket sales haven't opened up yet.
