Meaning that the circumference of the earth is exactly 40k Kms. Not by chance, but by design. It's since been redefined in terms of distance travelled by light in a known, measurably small length of time, but still

Can I go full nerd on this statement? The meter works so well for geospatial calculation because the meter is fundamentally based on the earth. The meter was invented by the French bureau of weights and measures, and is defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator.

Yeah that feature is a must

Pair With Me - Ed Grosvenor

I said months ago that I wanted to start pairing regularly with new people, but client work got in the way. Summer is shaping up to be a relatively peaceful time for me, so now is a great time to get this started. Use this link to grab an hour! calendar.app.google/RthNTaLYCA9Q...

Welcome Our recipes for Laravel are interactive scripts that help you do hours, days, or weeks of work on your Laravel app with a few clicks.

Hey everyone, @gros.co and I had planned on doing the draw for our extra @laracon.us community bundle ticket today, but I had to go to the hospital to get my gallbladder removed instead. You've got one more day to go to laravel.recipes and register

Hey everyone, @gros.co and I have an extra ticket for LaraconUS next month. Comes with hangouts and merch. If you want to be in next week's draw to win it (along with $500 towards your travel) goto laravel.recipes and register. The entry form is on your home page

Today's "Slack Chat Quote of the Day" goes out to @coulb.com:

"You know a Boolean is just an enum with two cases"

We're building a bunch of internal tools that we use to ship micro sasses in record time, which we plan to open up to the public some time this year. And then some educational content we're putting together, and a community platform that's cheaper than slack, and less noisy than discord

Thx man! We're both super excited. We've got plenty of work lined with a few fantastic clients so that we can build up some runway while we finish up some of our products

It's a two person Laravel agency that @gros.co and I started about a year ago, and yesterday we finally filed the paperwork

Today I acquired 4.5 million shares in Artisan Build, Inc.

After brunch, I'm going to take my two side projects grocery shopping. Then we'll be taking our side projects to their Gran's surprise birthday party

You can tell scientists apart from Roman historians by how they pronounce "Molecules".

I ended up just buying a $500 combo unit from a local franchise and focusing on the music for now. I can always upgrade the hardware later

There's nothing wrong with taking a spike&stabilize approach

MFW my kid drinks the bath water

Today is my 38th birthday, and all I want is a job at Laravel 🫣

Oh right, and health and joy and all that stuff too

He's doing it. He's fkn doing it

I can't wait. This will super charge the abilities of Laravel devs

[1.x] Adds `--diff` option by ProjektGopher · Pull Request #327 · laravel/pint This PR is how I've always wished the --dirty flag worked. pint --dirty will lint staged and unstaged files (and possibly untracked?). But once a file is committed, it will not be touched again...

Running `./vendor/bin/pint --diff=main` in CI could save you a **ton** of time... 👀

Came here to say this. I'm pretty Corridor Digital uses this app for all sorts of quick and dirty models

That's a classic

The math checks out

Brilliant

Hotdog wiener counts as a vegetable when you're solo-parenting, right?

A battery replacement is a great diy project. It'll be worth it

Day 4/4 of Christmas family feasts is in the bag. If you need me I'll be asleep for the next week. ✌️

Any of the other Dads out there excited to find out what they bought for their kids tomorrow?
