And PHP 8.1 is a really nice language to use for web development too. It's got enums, typed properties, named arguments, union types, and the splat operator to name but a few. Plus between Laravel and Symfony, you've got some good

That's a great decision by the PHP team. It makes PHP easier to rely on. Not only is it rock solid and easy to use, but now it has a long lifetime. Not to say upgrades are bad, but sometimes businesses don't understand the value i

A fair point. :)

Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't move. I'd love to hear more about the product though! Without giving too much away, what does the product/company do? :)

Another vote for Cloudflare Analytics. Not as powerful as GA, but I think that's why I like it. Cloudflare Analytics is much easier to use on a day to day basis!

The only exception I have to this is S3. There are so many S3 compatible providers that I don't see any problem with using S3. There's even MinIO for self hosting and local development! Some more suggestions for open source compon

I agree with your requirement to avoid lock in, but there's nothing wrong with using the big three if you make sure you use open source technologies. I'm going to use the LAMP stack for example, because everyone is familiar with i

Neat library. Also, brilliant docs!

Also voting for Kobo. I have a Clara I just use for reading books. Really nice device and the price is good too. I've never connected mine to the internet. I just use it as a giant USB stick with a screen. Not that I've needed to,

Kaboom was a pleasure to use. Don't get me wrong, it's very simple, but it was fun. Felt like using Flash again. :)

Not strictly related to your question, but some information worth sharing: If you've got physical hard drives to back up to, and you want to be able to use those hard drives on Windows, Mac, and Linux: It would seem a good file system

It's much easier to take down the services supporting the thief, rather than taking down the thief. The thief won't care if you tell them to stop. But their domain registrar, web host, video host, social media accounts, and paymen

Because now you have different tenants having different experiences and breaking your application in strange new ways you could never have predicted!

by throwaway38375 3y ago
Choosing a good solution heavily relies on whether your product is multi-tenant or not. If multi-tenant things get complicated quite quickly. It may be worth looking into existing packages/libraries for your stack. I would be careful a

CSVs won the war. No vendor lock in and very portable. I wish TSVs were more popular though. Tabs appear less frequently than commas in data. My biggest recommendation is to avoid Excel! It will mangle your data if you let it.

Some tips: 1. Digital Ocean offer small VPS for $5 per month. That's a 50% saving right away! 2. Stick with Ubuntu in the beginning. It's not the best, but it's 100% good enough and has so much support and tutorials out there

If you're going to be a team of one keep things simple. If you know Python, use Django for full stack and FastAPI for APIs. Although Go is great, I wouldn't add another language into the mix. Just not worth the overhead given that

There's no amount of money you could pay me to do this with Kubernetes. Like, you could offer me double my salary, and I'd laugh. The only answer that makes any sense here is Ansible. Arguments: Way simpler Can fall back to using

Same, I am interested to know. I only install Redis on Ubuntu VMs. I don't pay for hosted Redis (since it's always been rock solid for me). Will these changes stop me from running `sudo apt install redis`?

I think HTML, CSS, and JS could be the answer here. However it relies on two important things: 1. Using something which uses the OS's built in browser (rather than something like Electron). 2. Keeping your JS very lightweight. This was

Neat project, but I will be sticking with Redis. I trust Redis to not do something weird with their licensing or pricing in the future. Plus Redis has billions of production hours under its belt. It's easier to install and understand.

I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but the LAMP stack. - Can all be run off one big server - No licenses or costs - Super stable and battle proven - Deployment, development, and debugging is stupidly simple - If you don&#x27

This looks really neat! I'm just about to start a desktop application project, so I've found this at the perfect time. Is this production ready? I need to target Windows and MacOS with a high level of stability.

1. Realising that 99% of the time, the stack doesn't matter. Users don't care about whether you're using a single PHP file or a dozen NodeJS microservices. 2. Realising that complexity is the enemy. Smart people avoid complex
