• PHP's Biggest Problem

  The PHP website is indeed one of the worst parts of the whole ecosystem. Just look at the landingpage (https://php.net) and compare it with those of other languages. There's not a single piece of PHP code on the page. No "what is PHP", no "why should I use it", and no "that's why PHP is great". It's just a news page showing the latest releases, and a small section for downloading PHP. And speaking of the website:... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Self Hostable Multi-Location Uptime Monitoring

  My initial idea was to leverage the main application’s queue worker by deploying a queue worker remotely and setting up a secure connection between them using something like Wireguard. Vigilant is written in PHP using the Laravel framework, for queuing it uses Laravel Horizon. This is a queuing system built on top of Redis. All monitoring tasks in Vigilant are executed on this queue, it allows for multiple queues... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• The Lost Art of Reading Documentation

  I remember being 15 (18 years ago 🥲) and learning PHP. Stack Overflow wasn’t as big yet, and finding answers often meant digging through forums filled with half-baked solutions, each dependent on specific hosting configurations. There was no universal standard, some hosts supported certain php.ini settings while others didn’t. The only reliable resource? The official PHP documentation: php.net. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Using named arguments in php8 and up

  That's the first I've heard of it, and I like it! I can't tell you the number of trips to php.net to look at argument order for a function. Is it haystack/needle, or needle/haystack? Of course it could turn into the same thing w/ argument names (is it whole_name or full_name?), but I'm going to use it. Source: about 3 years ago

• How to display results from multiple SQL queries in the same table cell?

  Prepare to spend a fair bit of time reading and going back to phptherightway.com and php.net. I've also found this Tutorial from Envato Tuts+ to be quite good. Source: about 3 years ago

• Doctor from the Childfree List Told Me She Would Never Sterilize Someone My Age

  Post a public facing review too! Reviews on google, healthgrades, vitals.com, ratemds, yelp, zocdoc, caredash, etc will reach a lot more people than here. Potential patients should know that this person isnt doing their job for unreasonable personal reasons. Ideally this info would be easily findable when someone googles the docs name :).

• Finding a Rhuemtologist?

  Get on the website for your insurance, they should have a doc finder, that will give you a list. I first look for docs who have the same contact number and/or address as usually that means they are in the same practice. So I can usually learn about all of them on the same website, and get reviews on the practice as a whole and the individual doctors. There's a view major review sites. I like vitals.com.

• Why is therapy so unregulated?

  This provider has a decent number of bad reviews (also Google and vitals.com) -- I can PM you a link but she screws people on diagnostic evaluation not therapy, so her reviews will have different content. It might just be due to the sheer number of clients pissed at her that some manage to get through. They were even putting angry reviews on her own Facebook page until she took it down.

• An app to connect patients and doctors

  There are several, I actually use to work for one called vitals.com, but there is also zocdoc and several other companies who do the work of aggregating state medical board info along with education and facility ratings, insurance information and cost information. The true value is in gathering / processing all that data (what I use to do) as virtually none of it was standardized or clean. Source: over 4 years ago

• Vitals.com listing my home address?

  I was able to "claim my profile" on vitals.com. a rep reached out to me and asked me to fill in an online form to correct/remove the personal info. Source: about 5 years ago
