Laravel? Unsure exactly what you're meaning by #2, but Laravel's Eloquent is an Active Record-style ORM, and can act as a layer on top of most db tables I've used it on.

Somewhat agreed on chatgpt specifically. Having in-IDE tooling that can take context and provide info, corrected for context, is more useful than having to jump to a browser, then copy paste. It's usually not much of an effort itself

My phone tells me routinely that I've left my airpods behind wherever I just left, even though... they're paired to the phone I'm using which is telling me I left them behind. At least part of this has been broken for some t

As others mentioned, marketing is an issue, but I think you could get some traction in smaller markets. Have weeks centered around classic directors, stars or themes. A week of Hitchcock films. Or Scorcese films. Or Classic Thrillers week

You have to look at the device to open it. It's by nature another step of distraction. Grabbing a device and having your thumb on it opening it up so that it's ready to go by the time it reaches your eyes... it's faster. W

Compute!'s Gazette FTW! I was very fortunate to have a computer in the house, available 24/7, from around the age of 10. ZX81 kit, then later a C128, then Amiga, then other variations (and a PC clone in there as well). We were so

Years ago, it seemed Siri would try to understand you via whatever voice accent you'd chosen it to speak in. If you wanted UK Siri, it would understand... a UK accent. Using a Siri UK voice, and speaking with a US midwest accent wo

It seemed relatively prevalent in Romania when I visited in 2018. And I didn't see it everywhere in Moscow in the early 2010s, but there was more of it than we see in the US daily. And... the other side of that is we have a lot more

I went for years not drinking alcohol. Wasn't 100%... I'd have a spirit out now and then but only if I wasn't driving anywhere. This limited me to conference/hotel setups where I was staying for a few days. So... I mi

I remember visiting Europe a few times over the decades (late 80s through early 2010s). I'd noticed an increase in smoking in Europe as I was noticing a decrease in the US. Someone might have more specific numbers/details/c

I just cancelled audible this morning, and did not see any pause subscription. It may have been there, but I was annoyed with other dark patterns. "no! i want to stay subscribed!" as a bright orange button, and "continue

Like the JetBrains model. $99 first year, then $79 second year, then $59/year going forward. No doubt some companies offer discounted-for-loyalty pricing, but yeah, never seen it addressed in billing systems I've seen. You&#x27

Not the exact same example as the "randomly give upgrades", but mintmobile just upped our plan a bit. I realize they did this across the board, but they did also ping us to let us know that a) we're getting upgraded data, b)

I understand that reminding people of dormant subscriptions might prompt cancellations, but I'd think the following test might be worth trying. Randomly give existing customers free periods or extend a subscription by a certain amount

Probably just because of the .xyz domain? But yeah, per the other comment, it seems fine.

Apropos of nothing, but I've been IQ tested with various tests at multiple stages of my life. Earliest I remember was age 9, then a couple others at various stages, including late teens and again in mid thirties. Instruments were some

The “risk” may just be not getting back in the treadmill. The risk of marketable skills and your network deteriorating is real. But with years or decades of savings, “taking a risk” may just be pursuing an idea. Doesn’t necessarily mean

25+ years ago, I collected unemployment in Michigan. I was earning around $38k, and was surprised to learn of a cap. I think the unemployment cap was $200/week (or similar). I was telling a family friend that I’d been let go, and ne

Some folks will never come to it, some folks will stick with it (like me). Language is language. The value prop for most orgs using tech is the ecosystem. The PHP ecosystem is large, and has a lot of good quality stuff available. Buildin

"c:\program files\my user name\foo bar baz.exe" ??? tab completion generally works on space-filled path/names too, at least in the last 10 years or so, when working in windows worlds.

And... you've got a large list of customer, contact and historical info to allow access to. Sending that down to people so they have it locally becomes at least a bit of a privacy/security concern.

part of the issue with 'bubbles', as I see it, is that you don't know you're in a bubble. a big huge honking option of "keep me in the bubble" and "show results outside my bubble" would make it a l
