In Laravel 5.5, JSON responses are a little different. In particular, you’ll find that validation exceptions have changed, and it’s easy to miss what the upgrade guide says about it.

A lot has changed in the PHP landscape over the past years. We started using more design patterns and things like the DRY and SOLID principles. But why are we still using controllers?
After shrugging at Jumplinks’ massive module class, I’ve begun writing in a more OOP way, and there are a couple of things that have come in handy in terms of SoC of late. One of them is hook classes, which helps split hook functions out into their own classes in an intuitive way.
With so few updates from the jQuery team(s), it’s no wonder the landscape has changed so much. With the welcome addition of front-end frameworks to the JS world, jQuery has fallen behind. Very far behind.
A little while back, I released Sitemap for ProcessWire, which is an upgrade to MarkupSitemapXML by Pete and adds multi-language support using the built-in LanguageSupportPageNames. Where multi-language pages are available, they are added to the sitemap by means of an alternate link in that page’s <url>. Support for listing images in the sitemap on a page-by-page basis and using a sitemap stylesheet are also added.
Worked on a little Laravel package this weekend, called ZA Phone. It’s a simple and easy-to-use validator, parser, and formatter for South African phone numbers.
“If you had a power that no one else had, when would you choose to unleash it? That seems to be one of the questions at the center of Sleight. The main character can do something amazing, but when to do it is the real problem.”
“Those with a Pluto-the-planet-shaped void in their hearts have been eagerly following updates about Planet 9, a hypothetical world thought to be 10 times more massive than Earth and roughly 1,000 astronomical units (AU) away from the Sun. While there are naysayers aplenty, new research validates believers – and delivers some unexpected news about the planet’s rough childhood.”
“Living in China, it’s safe to assume pretty much everything about you is known – or easily can be known – by the government. Where you go, who you’re with, which restaurants you like, when and why you see your doctor.”
“While a number of new hardware technologies have been revealed recently, 3D XPoint memory is one to watch out for.”
This short film by Dust begs the answer to one question: how much should technology control? Even more importantly, should we be ceding any control at all?
“Artist John Edmark has done it again. With the clever use of a strobe light, he’s created sculptures that move like weird computer animations but are actually real, 3D-printed objects that physically exist. It’s a bit hypnotizing but so, so cool, because they move and grow and essentially come alive in such a bizarre way.”
