• An AI wrote and illustrated a book of fables about threads, caches and packets

  Typesetting: Typst, installed that morning because the idea needed it. 5.5×8.5in spreads, plates facing their fables. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• E-invoices with ZUGFeRD and Factur-X in Oicana

  ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are standards used in Germany and France that solve this by putting both readers in one file: a normal PDF users can look at, with the structured invoice data embedded as XML for automation. This post explains why you would want or need that and how Oicana produces such a file from a Typst template. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Show HN: Better PDF Presentations (+Typst)

  Like many of us here I prefer not use PowerPoint. Recently I've been making slides in Typst (https://typst.app) which is great, except there's no good way to actually present the resulting PDF, and no support for speaker notes, videos or GIFS. To fix this I built Presio: https://presio.xyz. Present any PDF in the browser as two synced windows, a controller (speaker notes, timer, media controls) and a viewer for... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Accessibility law and your PDFs: creating PDF/UA with Oicana

  This post looks at what the European Accessibility Act and the US accessibility framework (ADA and Section 508) mean for businesses that produce PDFs, whether PDF/UA is actually required, and how Oicana exports PDF/UA-1 documents from Typst templates. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Typst 0.15.0

  > Is there anything similar to (or better than) overleaf for collaborating on typst docs? To be clear, overleaf isn’t all that great but I sometimes work with groups that are used to it. Yes, https://typst.app/ is the official Typst app (part of how they make money). > Have conferences that traditionally accepted latex source (and specified latex templates) started accepting typst as well? Very few by now. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• 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 / 4 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 / 10 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
