Ten Basic Clouds 2 months ago

Lol, i expected a comparison between the major cloud providers but had a hard time believing there would be ten of them.. Anyway, I should take a day of to look at some real clouds.

PHP in 2024 2 years ago

PHP is slowly gaining ground on strict typings and every update brings new features. It’s really fun to see losely typed methods over time being refactored to typed methods, giving you that slight peace of mind in every step. Big kudos to the PHP and Laravel community.

Huge credits to the Caddy team, I’ve been using Caddy for all of my production projects over 4+ years and it’s absolutely rock solid. Never had an issue with it. Unfortunate a 3rd party plugin here is causing fallout by other HNers dumping their negative remarks here. Still, a security plugin which seems to have holes in it is a bit awkward. I’m sure someone will pick up what’s needed to be done.

Although sometimes too much, I think the way fly.io starts their blog posts with a description of what they do is brilliant. I have no idea what Hoppscotch is and reading the first paragraphs I still don’t.

I wholeheartedly recommend against using Shopify Payments, as they simply cut you off on a moments notice and they can’t explain why. This is the exact response we got from support:

Regrettably we cannot share the specific reason or share further details about the rejection.

Like what? We applied, you approved, a lot of legitimate transactions happened and now you cut me off but can’t explain why? You really can’t trust them.

I think I’ve asked this question before but I really don’t understand why there is no managed docker compose hosting solution. I think Swarm did that, but I believe they stopped? Every project I worked on used compose locally, but had to transpose to some k8s/nomad setup in production. I’d love to just run ‘docker compose deploy’ or publish or whatever and it just gets deployed to the cloud + load balancing and autoscaling. What am I missing?

I’m annoyed by the way this is written. The topic is super interesting but the author tried to hard to be funny and being a non-native reader it’s difficult to determine if certain words are technical jargon or trying to be funny.

This is something i’ve been thinking about for a long time and your comment made me think about it again. I’ve seen many companies developing using docker-compose but deploying their software in a different way (on bare metal, kubernetes or nomad). Why hasn’t anyone build this yet? I’m afraid I’m missing something so starting on this my own is risky.

It’s like you just described my exact situation ~14 months ago. Such a though situation to be in but I can tell you things will get better. Spoke to my GP and have been in therapy for ~10 months, no work at all. Had to find my love back for the things I really enjoyed. Was able to find a job at a new place at the beginning of this year and I’m finally feeling I’m getting my life back again. I’ll have to be very careful not end up in the same situation again, but this experience helped me grow (although i’m only slowly starting to realize this).

The most important thing I’m saying to myself? I am the captain of my own ship. Get back on the wheel and point it in the direction I want to go in, what makes me happy.

Funny thing is this reputation is imo being upheld by PHP users themselves, for example in PHP tutorials comparing to different languages.
