Hick Farmers Retaliate Against Coastal Elites By Withholding Ingredients Needed To Make Avocado Toast

U.S.—Farmers have long been looked down upon by coastal elites, and now the farmers are finally getting their revenge: the “redneck hicks” all around the country have announced they will not be shipping the ingredients needed to make avocado toast to major liberal cities like New York and Los Angeles.

“Until further notice, you’ll have to farm your own wheat and grow your own avocados,” a spokesperson for America’s farmers said as he chewed on a stalk of Timothy grass and did other stereotypical farmer things. “Have fun! Yeehaw!”

Avocado farmers in rural parts of Florida and California reminded city dwellers just how juicy and delicious their avocados are. “Man, these are just perfect — would go great on a nice, warm piece of toast. It would be a real shame if I didn’t ship these to the cities, since I’m just a hick farmer and all.”

The coastal elites were devastated by the sanctions, as the only thing they know how to grow is marijuana in their parents’ basement.

“Nooooo!!!” screamed one Hollywood screenwriter as his assistant nervously informed him there would be no avocado toast with his latte this morning. “I can’t even!”

CNN’s Don Lemon wrote a formal apology to the farmers, but they claimed they couldn’t read it and so the sanctions would continue.

Many of you told us you wouldn’t subscribe until we offered Paypal as a payment option. You apparently weren’t bluffing, so we finally caved and added Paypal. Now — like the unbeliever faced with God’s invisible qualities displayed in nature — you are without excuse.

Best PhpStorm settings after 8 years of use

Best PhpStorm settings after 8 years of use

https://ift.tt/2NvMio2

It’s been a long time. I’ve been using PhpStorm for almost 8 years now. More precisely from 2012. Version 3 back then. A lot has happened in that time. A lot has changed. Of course, you learn more and more every day. This article is the result of my 8 years of experience with PhpStorm and my best settings that make you a faster developer and let you focus more on the important things.

If you don’t care about the exact settings and what they are used for, you can download my snapshot (including my personal GitHub and Material Theme) and just import it into PhpStorm via File > Import Settings. Just scroll to the end of this post and you’ll find anything you need.

My Best Settings

I’ll show you only the settings you’ve to change that are different from the default. Either I’m gonna show you a [ ] for unselect or [x] for select.

General

Hide everything you don’t need.

View > Appearance

  • [ ] Toolbar
  • [ ] Tool Window Bars
  • [ ] Status Bar
  • [ ] Navigation bar

Settings

Appearance & Behaviour > Appearance

  • [ ] Animate windows
    Doesn’t improve anything but decreases performance
  • [x] Show memory indicator
    If you are using the status bar to give you better insights into your memory usage
  • [ ] Show tool window bars
    Removes some more bars
  • [ ] Show tool window numbers
    Removes some more bars

Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings

  • [ ] Reopen last project on startup
    I work on several projects, so I want to choose which project should be opened at the beginning
  • [ ] Confirm application exit
    If I want to exit the application it just should close without any confirmation
  • [x] Open project in new window
    PhpStorm gives you the possibility to open a project in the same window as the current one. This is in 99% not the thing you want.

Appearance & Behaviour > File Colors

  • [ ] Enable File Colors
  • [ ] Use in Editor Tabs
  • [ ] Use in Project View

Maybe you like it or not. I don’t. These options remove the file colors and background colors from the tabs and project tree for some special folders like node_modules or tests.

Keymap

I just changed some of the keymaps. Basically I’m using the default ones.

  • Ctrl + V Split Vertically
  • Ctrl + H Split Horizontally
  • Cmd + T Run…
    If you are in a test file you just press this keymap within a method and then this method will be tested.
  • Shift + Cmd + T Run
    This keymap can be used anywhere in the application. It just runs that last test again.
  • Ctrl + W Hide Active Tool Window
    When you run tests, the test window opens. If you’re using the terminal in PhpStorm, this can be useful too. With this shortcut, you can close that at any time.
  • Cmd + 2 Select in Project View
    You might now know this. With Cmd + 1 you can toggle the sidebar. What I still often need is to jump into the sidebar project tree. I often use Shift + Shift that lets you search for everything or Cmd + O to search for classes. So I never use the sidebar. But if you would like to jump into that with the file that is currently open, this shortcut is awesome.

Editor > General

  • [ ] Enable Drag'n'Drop functionaliy in editor
    This option actually sucks. If you don’t disable it, you can move code around with your mouse which quite often happens, even if you don’t want it.
  • [ ] Show notification after reformat code action
  • [ ] Show notification after optimize imports action
  • [x] Soft-wrap-files
    This is a very cool functionality. When you edit for instance markdown files, lines never wrap. With this option, you can change that. They wrap now.
  • Strip trailing spaces on Save: All
    This one strips all trailing spaces on every single save command (PhpStorm saves automatically if you don’t use tabs)
  • [ ] Always keep trailing spaces on caret line
  • [x] Ensure line feed at file end on save
    With this option, your file is guaranteed to have an empty line at the end of the file.

Editor > General > Appearance

  • [ ] Show hard wrap and visual guides
  • [ ] Show code lens on scrollbar hover
    This removes the “preview” of the code when you hover at a specific position on the scrollbar

Editor > General > Breadcrumbs

  • [ ] Show Breadcrumbs
    We don’t need breadcrumbs. So let’s disable it. We love clean UIs.

Editor > General > Code Completion

  • [x] Show full method signatures
    We want to see everything when code completion for methods starts

Editor > General > Code Folding

Personally, I don’t like any code folding, because I would like to see what I edit.

  • [ ] Show coding folding outline
  • [ ] File header
  • [ ] Imports
  • [ ] HTML 'style' attribute
  • [ ] XML entities
  • [ ] Data URIs
  • [ ] Imports

Editor > General > Editor Tabs

If you are not used to having any tabs I can highly recommend it. You can always the shortcut Cmd + E to get the recent files and Shift + Shift to search for any other file. There is no need for tabs.

Editor > General > Smart Keys > PHP

  • [ ] Enable smart function parameters completion
  • [ ] Select variable name without '$' sign on double click
    If I double click on a variable, I don’t want it to select the ‘$’, that’s why I disable it.

Editor > General > Font

This is very personal and up your own preference. This fits best for me.

  • Font: Menlo
  • Size: 15
  • Line spacing: 1.9

Editor > General > Color Scheme > General

If you’re like me and you don’t want all these method separators, you can disable them. What you can’t disable yet are the separators for the imported use statements. But there is a workaround. Just unset the foreground color for the following entry.

  • [ ] Method separator color, Foreground

Editor > General > Code Style

  • Line Seperator: Unix and macOS

Editor > General > Inspections

You might be wondering why I don’t say anything here. Listing the inspections is pretty elaborate. I’ve made a few adjustments here specific to Laravel. So you have a clean environment without those annoying underlings. My Inspections can also be found in the download package. If you have any questions, let me know.

Editor > General > Inlay Hints

  • [ ] Show hints for:
    I don’t need this.

Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Debug

  • [ ] Force break at first line when no path mapping specified
  • [ ] Force break at first line when a script is outside the project

You should untick both when using Laravel Valet. Otherwise, xdebug starts debugging in Valet itself.

Tools > Web Browsers

  • [ ] Show browsers popup in the editor
    Do you remember this little preview with browser icons all the time? You can disable it.

Conclusion

The result is a very clean and intuitive IDE that remembers of Sublime with the only difference that it’s a fully integrated IDE. You can download my complete PhpStorm settings package. Just import into PhpStorm via File > Import Settings

What’s included?

This package contains also my customized GitHub Theme and customized Material Theme. My Material Theme is not that colorful as the original is. That makes it cleaner and you can focus more. As a bonus there is a Laravel specific inspections rule included. If you don’t use it, most of the time everything is underscored with orange or red lines because of Laravels Facade architecture, it’s hard for the IDE to follow everything along.

I am very interested in whether I have forgotten something? Or if you have any other practical tips to help me make PhpStorm even better. Let me know.

Surprise: The Space Force Logo is Not a Rip-Off of the Star Trek Logo

Surprise: The Space Force Logo is Not a Rip-Off of the Star Trek Logo

https://ift.tt/3aMWWRu

After President Trump Tweeted this on Friday…

…the internet erupted with outrage (of course), stating that the new Space Force logo was a rip-off of the StarFleet Command United Federation of Planets logo used in the Star Trek franchise. Here they are side-by-side:

The truth isn’t so simple. The Space Force logo is an evolution of the Air Force Space Command logo, its predecessor. And as SlashGear points out, that earlier logo was designed way back in 1982:

The Starfleet logo everyone’s pointing to? That was designed by Star Trek designer Michael Okuda…in 1996, first appearing in the Deep Space Nine series.

Ex Astris Scientia quotes Okuda as reporting that his 1996 design "was intended to be somewhat reminiscent of the NASA emblem" of the era:

The larger question: Why does the Space Force get people so worked up and ready to hate it? I’m guessing it’s because our President announced it with all of the gravitas of introducing a new Doritos flavor.

Ecommerce Security: 10 Tips for Your Online Store

Ecommerce has changed the way consumers shop. No longer does the traditional brick-and-mortar store reign supreme. Instead, online stores, by offering shopping convenience all day and all night every single day of the year, lure customers to their sites from all over the world. And as ecommerce sales continue to swell, the necessity of better ecommerce security grows more urgent.

There Is a Growing Demand for Ecommerce

According to reports from Statista, ecommerce sales are expected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2021. Moreover, retail commerce sales across the Asia-Pacific region are set to be greater than those in the rest of the world by 2023.

There are many reasons why this is so. For example, with an ecommerce store you can reach a global audience, even if your marketing budget is limited. Additionally, ecommerce stores don’t have the overhead expenses their brick-and-mortar counterparts have. Therefore, an entrepreneur can start an ecommerce business with only a small investment.

As a result, buyers can enjoy easily exploring millions of products on their phones and other devices.

Let’s not forget that ecommerce provides plenty of opportunities for landbased businesses as well, however. Both small and midsize businesses can boost their sales prospects by adding an ecommerce aspect to their portfolios.

However, every ecommerce site is vulnerable to security breaches and cyberattacks. Hackers lie in wait, eager to steal sensitive information. Therefore, while store design, functionality, and shopping convenience are important, online stores of all stripes need to prioritize ecommerce security features.

Below are some important security tips for your ecommerce site:

1. Choose the Right Ecommerce Platform

Many ecommerce store owners establish their stores on platforms such as Magento and Shopify. This is not surprising, since these platforms offer excellent ecommerce security features.

Among your top considerations while selecting an ecommerce platform must be robust functionality, convenience, and security. Once these aspects are handled, you will be able to focus on your core business.

Ecommerce platforms such as Shopify may have the best ecommerce security features. However, even if you choose this platform for your site, you will still need to remain aware of other security measures and take action as necessary.

Rest assured, however, that most ecommerce platforms have secure payment gateways and convenient shipping methods, as well as high-level security features such as automatic security updates.

2. Switch to HTTPS for Better Ecommerce Security

Your ecommerce site must have an SSL certificate such as Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard. When you do, your site’s URL will begin with HTTPS instead of HTTP. An SSL certificate provides protocols that encrypt sensitive information such as customers’ credit card information, user names, and passwords.

HTTPS represents the standard for ensuring security of ecommerce websites and other sites that deal with sensitive information. In fact, Google ranks sites with the HTTPS designation higher than web pages that lack it.

For example, SSL certificates such as Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard enable you to secure multiple sub domains at affordable prices and easy installation. Moreover, enrollment provides a 256-bit SSL encryption.

3. Set up Strong Password Rules

In order to safeguard your website’s security and ensure customer information is safe from intruders, set up rules for strong customer passwords. For example, require the use of mixed cases, numbers, and special characters.

You might even want to offer your customers a two-factor authentication system to ensure greater ecommerce security.

4. Have a Data Backup Plan

Every ecommerce website must have a robust data recovery plan. Such a plan will necessarily include regular data backups. An effective plan can help to prevent the loss of vital data related to your business and your customers.

Therefore, be sure to discuss data recovery plans with your host provider. In this way, you will know what you need to do whenever you have a server failure. This is essential for maintaining security for your ecommerce site

5. Use Security Plug-ins for Better Ecommerce Security

It may be helpful to use plugins to add additional layers of security to your ecommerce site.

For example, Wordfence Security is a plugin that integrates a solid security system in your ecommerce store by way of a web application firewall. It offers real-time insights on traffic and prevents potential hacking attempts.

6. Don’t Store Credit Card Numbers

Some ecommerce platforms provide negligent security. For example, some offer offline credit card processing as a standard option for their customers’ payments.

This option stores customers’ credit card details without encryption. This allows the card to be processed manually, which means this mechanism is not safe. If this is what you’re offering your customers, you are putting your customers’ personal information at risk.

Instead, use a payment gateway provider to keep payments safe. Above all, do not store credit card numbers at all. Also, use PCI DSS accreditation to reduce credit card payment fraud and lead to better security on your ecommerce site.

7. Monitor Your Site Effectively

Of course, you have automatic backups and firewalls to ensure security of your ecommerce website. But it’s even more important to check your website code regularly for security issues. So scan all of your site’s code regularly to detect malware.

Keep in mind, too, that content delivery networks (CDN’s) have sets of servers that store copies of website pages. They can help to prevent DDOS attacks, which can significantly interfere with your business and harm your store.

8. Install a Bot Detection Mechanism

More than half of the traffic that comes to your ecommerce website is not genuine. In fact, much of it poses a security threat.

Sometimes bot traffic may be used by competitors to gain an edge over your business. But it’s safe to assume that most bot traffic is directed with malicious intent.

Therefore, you need to have a bot detection system in place. Such a system will have analytics tools for monitoring the source of traffic to and from your site.

9. Conduct Vulnerability Tests on Your Website

It’s a good idea to conduct regular vulnerability scans on your ecommerce website to detect security risks. There are various tools available that will allow you to do this.

Choose a program that will scan both your website and the network so you can understand the associated risks and issues.

10. Schedule Automatic Backups for Better Ecommerce Security

No matter which content management system (CMS) you are using for your ecommerce website, it’s necessary to keep it updated for better security. This will help to resolve issues, fix flaws, and prevent hacking.

Make Ecommerce Security a Priority

It is important to keep your ecommerce website secure and safe by using the best possible security measures. So stay up-to-date with the latest cyber security practices. Also, ensure your site is always backed up, and use effective encryption techniques. These measures will help to keep your ecommerce website secure.

MySQL Document Store Tutorial

MySQL Document Store Tutorial

https://ift.tt/2tExop7

When I tell people that they can use MySQL without SQL they tend to be skeptical.  But with the MySQL Document Store you can do just that with a new NoSQL API and in this case there is no structured query language.pre-FOSDEM MySQL Days (which is sold out and there is a waiting list) is my tutorial on using the Document Store.  Those in my session will be able to see how to use the MySQL Shell (mysqlsh) to connect to a MySQL server and save data without have to do the many things a DBA used to have to do in the past such as normalize data, setup relations, and several other tasks.  Plus the schema-less Document Store means you can alter your data needs without having to do an endless series of ALTER TABLES.

MySQL without SQL
MySQL Document Store let you save and retrieve data without needed the use of structured query language (SQL)

Part of the tutorial is a workbook and slides that I should be able to publish if they are well received.  And maybe a video for those who will not be able to make it to Brussels.

All opinions expressed in this blog are those of Dave Stokes who is actually amazed to find anyone else agreeing with him

How To Deploy A Laravel Project On Linux Shared Hosting In 5 Minutes

How To Deploy A Laravel Project On Linux Shared Hosting In 5 Minutes

https://ift.tt/2vpfzuP

In my 2019 review I mentioned that I was working on a side project which is setting up a shared hosting platform with Laravel developers in mind.

I have deployed lots of Laravel projects on Linux shared hosting and I know how painful it is especially when there is no ssh access.

Litehost is here to solve that problem. It has ssh access on all its hosting plans and it has Composer, Git & PHP CLI pre-installed on its servers. Finally it pretty affordable, just ₦400/month ($1.11). Isn’t that amazing? Litehost is live and its been accepting customer since 24th December 2019.

Just yesterday I moved my blog which I built with Laravel to Litehost server. So I am going to show you how I did it in 5 minutes.

Lets get to the main thing. I will assume you have already a Cpanel account with ssh access on it.

Project Setup

Push your Laravel project to a remote git repository. I already have my blog’s repository on GitHub and its open source.

Now lets go back to our Cpanel. If you have ssh access on your hosting plan, look for terminal under the advanced tab and click on it.

Move into your public directory and pull your Laravel project from your remote repository.

cd public_html git clone https://github.com/stephenjude/stephenjude.tech.git blog 

With this command you now have your project inside public_html/blog folder.

Make a copy of your .env.example file and update your .env variables. You can do this using the CPanel file manager. Remember that Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) must be enabled from the CPanel file manager settings.

Now enter into the project folder and pull all the required dependencies.

cd blog composer install 

Fine, now we have our Laravel project ready to be served but its remaining one more thing. Laravel makes use of the storage folder for lots of things like writing logs, caching views and local file storage for uploads. Lets make that folder writable.

 chmod 777 storage 

I know this is not advisable but we are not on a VPS. We are on a shared server with some some limits to what we can do. Yeah.

Finally you have to setup your .htaccess file to point to your Laravel public folder. You can find this .htaccess file inside the public_html folder. If its not there then create one and update it with the code below.

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog/public RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/public/$1 [L] 

That’s it, you have successfully deployed your Laravel project.

Conclusion

I know this not the best way to deploy a Laravel project but I believe it’s efficient enough to get your project up and running on a Linux shared hosting.

I am still working on setting up shared hosting plans tailored for Laravel developers. The idea is to save time and deploy faster on shared hosting.
