I believe MailGun still does. Even though not listed, last I knew you can downgrade to PAYGO. I had a client do it after MailGun changed their plans. I also still have two accounts with them on PAYGO but they were created prior to the plan changes.

Absolutely! It's cleaner and less code.

Light! The Solarized Light theme right now is my go to for development.

GitHub - spatie/laravel-queueable-action: Queueable actions in Laravel Queueable actions in Laravel. Contribute to spatie/laravel-queueable-action development by creating an account on GitHub.

I use Spatie's package to turn actions into jobs - github.com/spatie/larav.... I also use `execute` as `handle` is Laravel's function for jobs so it's less confusing.

I haven't fallen in love with `_invoke` yet. Just don't like variables being callable 🤷

Good News! The National Weather Service is hiring again, after DOGE’s “brilliant” decision to lay off essential staff. Apparently, round-the-clock weather alerts don’t send themselves. Who would’ve guessed?

Most Americans use federal science information on a weekly basis, a new poll finds Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

@gitkraken.com can do this.

Always! Clearer and helps the IDE auto completion.

Season 1 was amazing. Can't wait for Season 2!!!

😅 I'm waiting for us-east-1 too as our DB provider is there and not in Ohio.

Awesome! Any plans for an RSS feed for the blog?

Nice! Being able to hook into an existing ecosystem (like Capacitor) could be beneficial so native plugins don't have to be reinvented. That would definitely give a leg up for adoption.

Keep up the awesome work and I hope the Apple review goes well!

Laravel + Ionic/Capacitor dev here! This NativePHP idea is cool! Using Livewire would be dope on native. I'm curious what you are thinking for native API integration. Something similar to Capacitor?

Another +1 for an RSS feed!

We had two hour delays here in Michigan.

Ok, figured it out. I Followed the podcast and they are showing up now. It must have forced a refresh. Whew....

Interesting! I am showing archived. This is what I see in the app. Thanks for checking Justin. I'll reach out PocketCast.

PocketCast is only showing one episode from 2023 😬

Thanks for the tip! Was just doing some event stuff and didn't like the fact my parameters weren't explicit. Switching now!

🟩 switched to the new! One via Shift and two manually.

I know the app but I won't spoil the reveal 😁

Pretty easy, mine was right under the hand rest. Once I figured out that I needed to pull the adhesive tabs, it came right out ( like 3M release tabs). A new battery cost $171 from System76 though. Current battery is still good. I usually have it plugged in and keep it charged to only 60%.

The Lemur Pro. It's super light which I love. Got it in 2020. Only crappy thing is that I had to replace the battery in 2022 because it was bulging. Otherwise, it has been great!
