Yeah, and if the powers that be (browser vendors) don't implement the generic interface you need (e.g.: signature tablets, cash drawers, NFC readers, memory card readers, etc.) then you: a) Don't do it and pivot your company to do

Can you point out some examples of machine learning usages where: (a) they are clearly beneficial for the users; (b) it wasn't forbidden before; and (c) it is very hard to get user's consent for them. I'm going to point out

It seems you are calling for Qubes OS [1], which does that but using VMs (which should be more secure than containers). It will take a looong time for "standard" OSes to get there, if they ever do. The required changes in UX are v

It's called a stereotype, and it depends more on other aspects than skin color. Mostly on how you communicate (vocabulary, grammar, accent, gestures) and how you look (beauty, illness cues, dress code). White, heterosexual, cis-gender

Don't worry about the possible "passive aggressive" interpretation. You are doing the best that can be done in your position. If they don't see it... well, that's their problem, not yours. You are already being more

In the 80% case you are totally right, and having automatic validation depending on the model would be easier. However, I would argue it is not a good fit for Laravel, and that in the 20% case it creates more problems than it solves. It doe

by kilburn 9y ago
To be fair, validation at the controller level is recommended only for simple cases. See form request validation [1] for more complex situations that require better code decoupling. That being said... yes, the validation system is lacking.

Your ideas resonate a lot with dependency injection [1] to me. However, I don't see how such an "App manager" would be able to setup, for instance, an nginx server with multiple virtual hosts. Some applications need entire co
