The code looks bad. I guess it has been refactored later.

The repo says this code is only for educational purposes. This spaghetti can be still a good example for the reasons you mentioned. Or maybe it is a good example for an ugly prototype version of an game.

This could be even better if people could see a refactored version of this codebase.

PHP in 2022 5 years ago

I like Laravel, but i don't like Livewire that much. Livewire is really neat when building simple interactive stuff, but when building larger more dynamic parts it gets pretty sluggish and the livewire component codebase starts to feel harder to maintain.

Last time I tried to use Livewire with Vue, it had some issues which caused Vue to lose reactivity. (Maybe Livewire removed the DOM where the Vue instance was rendered. There was some options that prevented livewire from replacing elements with given id/classname.) But if i remember correctly, you cant have livewire element which has vue components as child elements.

Maybe i was doing stuff wrong or the livewire<->Vue compatibility is a bit better nowadays. Or maybe its because I'm too used to Vue.

It felt like the Laravel community jumped to the Livewire hypetrain quite fast and it feels like the livewire recommendation to use alpinejs in someparts is required. And most of the examples for alpinejs requires you to write inline code. (It is possible to split the code to own js files, but then again you are building something that gets closer to Vuejs.)

It feels weird to recommend to write scripts using inline javascript. That requires more CSP modifications for security and also the scripts wont get cached and are loaded every time the page loads. (If I'm correct.)

TL;DR Livewire is great for small features.

Php has developed a lot in a decade.

Lots of new good things in php7/php8. The typecasting is way better than before, but it still allows you to be more "dynamic" if you want to.

How fast is the Pouchdb with sqlite on android? I dont really need any replication in my application, should i just use the normal cordova sqlite instead and switch to dexie.js when using in web browser?

Most internet providers here in Finland provides you fiber connections from 100-1000mbs pretty cheap. And 4g/5g connections from 100-300mbs for cheap prices too. Most of them does not have any data caps.

I have 300/100mbs connection which costs 20 euros in month.

The main reason why the modern Web GUI frameworks does not always feel good is because they need to support wider ranges of screen sizes, ratios, resolutions, accessibility tools, touch inputs, etc.

And web browser/css if pretty good when supporting different devices/platforms.

Php supports (somewhat) strictly defined types.

You can defined what types/interfaces methods needs to return, what types/interfaces variables must have, what types/interfaces the method arguments needs to have.

It also supports class inheritance, abstract classes, interface classes, class traits, etc.

I use php daily. Mostly Symfony/Laravel stuff. There are still some stuff it needs what other languages have. (Can't really right now remember all the stuff i stumble upon sometimes which gives me the feeling "damn if i could do this like i do it in rust/java/cpp/(w/e)")

Maybe the worst thing is the composer (it's slow.)

A guide to Oauth2 7 years ago

Im not sure there ever will be a complete complete oauth2 considering everyone who implement it have their own flavor of it.

I contacted similar Finnish based application about similar issues, where almost everything, including all the user images could have been collected from the json api end point.

Their response was that it is not bad system or insecure because the information is only available for logged users. So the api just needs authentication header.

So all the user data could have been easily collected to own database using simple script.

Matrix.org hacked 7 years ago

They had root account activated in hebe? Am i reading this right? He got an passlist of 5 million users?

It is a tool that make some jobs easier. Just like vue/react is an tool which makes some jobs easier.

You just need to know when to pick the right tool for the job.

This is why most of people love i3 as tiling wm. Just put it in top of gnome/xfce/whatever, run the first installation wizard and you are done.
