Sitting on the other side of their programming article, it’s easy for the writer to feign or blow up the aura of expertise/prestige the platform provides. But I’ll be honest — I had an extremely hard time learning Laravel, if only because it was my first full-stack framework. One reason was that I was not using it at work and was exploring it out of curiosity; so, I’d make an attempt, get to a point, get confused, give up, and eventually forget everything....

It is an integral part of the software development workflow that affects your code quality. Unit testing verifies the behavior of your code in response to the boundary, standard, and incorrect cases of the input data. It also will check the implicit and explicit assumptions made by the code, if any. Nevertheless, unit testing is a detailed procedure with multiple steps. When you share the final product with your client, you must ensure there are no mistakes, and it performs as per the client’s expectations....

Most of the year’s biggest true crime dramas have so far focussed on tales from the USA, but if you’re looking for unbelievable criminal cases from the UK, there’s plenty of must-watch series depicting some of the country’s most notorious criminal scandals coming later this year and beyond. Here’s a few to add to your watch list. The Reckoning (BBC – later in 2022) Actor, comedian and Alan Partridge creator Steve Coogan is set to portray the life-long sexual predator and disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile....

So, you decided to binge-watch a web series on Netflix that your colleague recommended the other day. But guess what, Netflix fails to load on your TV! That’s a bummer, isn’t it? And excruciating! And frustrating! And a bunch of other feelings overwhelming you. So, what went wrong? Your TV is fine, the connection is perfect, so who’s the culprit? Geo-restrictions. That’s right! There are some countries where some streaming services are not accessible....

As much as we love it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been great about telling complex emotional stories. Perhaps that’s understandable, as the franchise’s various Avengers must regularly wrestle with potentially world-ending stakes and still somehow save the day, all within a two-and-a-half-hour theatrical runtime. These aren’t stories that generally time to be but so concerned with things like the psychological trauma that inevitably resulted from these life-or-death events or how our heroes are meant to heal from them, provided they manage to do so at all....

The Addams Family is iconic. Created by Chas Addams, the single panel cartoons debuted in 1938 in The New Yorker magazine. Director Tim Burton is an obvious fanboy, eager to put his unique spin on the family dynamic. The Netflix series Wednesday is an original spinoff. Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams without much family support, the way the character prefers it. The series opens with the traditional dysfunctional unity. Wednesday protects Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) from bullies because only she is allowed to torture her brother....

If you’ve been watching She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, you know that the MCU likes to dig deep into the decades-long backlog of Marvel Comics to find weird and obscure characters, including Mr. Immortal, El Aguila, and Porcupine. The upcoming Halloween special Werewolf by Night seems like a continuation of that approach, pushing lesser-known wolfman character Jack Russell to the forefront. But while Russell is certainly a C-list Marvel hero, at least he headlined his own comic for a while in the 1970s....

Marvel’s What If? Episode 4 What If…? episode four is here. While many fans were likely expecting to see Captain Carter show up as soon as they realized it was a Doctor Strange story, that is not the case. Instead, we get a romantic tragedy which pits two versions of Stephen against each other in order to save the woman that they love. It’s a cosmic ride through Strange’s own arrogance that has absolutely world ending consequences....

“When you pass the guard towers when you’re five and six, you think it’s Disneyland,” Dillon told Den of Geek and other outlets. “And your folks have to tell you ‘That’s not Disneyland.’” A maximum security prison is very much not Disneyland. Dillon’s experiences beneath those towers, however, inspired a TV concept that is set to stream on one of Disney’s direct streaming competitors, Paramount+. Mayor of Kingstown was created by Dillon and frequent collaborator Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone)....

And when it comes to git repositories, there are two buzzwords – GitHub and GitLab. They have a stronghold in modern software development, especially in the past few years. Both are most developers’ handy assistants. But GitLab has taken a high jump from just code management to monitoring and deployment, calling itself “Complete DevOps”. It actually has increased convenience and offers many benefits for developers, most importantly for the ones working in larger teams....

What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 Episode 8 After straying from the core mockumentary premise of the series, What We Do in the Shadows’ season 4 episode 8, “Go Flip Yourself,” doubles down on it as the worlds of vampire reality TV and human home improvement collide. This union has been a long time coming, as Laszlo (Matt Berry) is quite the fan of flipping shows, and the titular fixer-upper program is his long-time obsession....

Wheel of Time Release Date We may not have a trailer yet, but we do have a release date for Season 1 of the Wheel of Time series! According to the new poster, the first season will drop in November 2021. Wheel of Time TV Series First Look Judkins had this to say about the poster: “I think fans of the book will recognize this as a very iconic moment in The Eye of the World....

In a world that made sense, in a world in which reason was still a factor, it seems to me this would be the time to start looking for a new doctor. But that’s not the case here, where we’re dealing with a world—from an audience and character perspective alike—that makes less and less sense the deeper we look into it. The hard thing to keep in mind is that it’s a world in which the rules no longer apply, and deliberately so....

Whether you are a freelancer or own a small or medium-sized business, proposals are a ticket to getting a regular flow of clients and help you thrive in a stable business. However, preparing your first proposal may seem daunting at the beginning. I must admit it may not be the most enthusiastic part of your business. It may remind you of your high-school assignment that wasn’t your favorite part of your studies, but you still had to do it!...

“In honor of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the genre-defining Grand Theft Auto III, we’ll have even more fun surprises to share — including some specifically for GTA Online players.”While recent years have taught us to not get our hopes up in regards to impending GTA announcements (and GTA Online players may end up getting the bulk of any new content), players can’t help but hold out hope for some kind of new GTA release, even if it’s only the rumored remaster of GTA 3 that’s been floating around for the last few years....

This “19 years later” segment closes the final Harry Potter book with Harry and company at King’s Cross, sending their own children to Hogwarts. In theory, it provides closure, a happy ending for Harry, and the satisfaction of continuity with another generation of witches and wizards off to school. In practice, it was an absolute beast to film. For one, no one knew the best approach to handle the hair or the makeup required to age the 20-something cast into believable 39-year-old parents of 11-year-olds....

Joe Wright’s The Woman in the Window is not shy about its Hitchcockian influence. It’s there in both subtle and overt ways from the very first scene. During one of the film’s opening shots, the camera pans around Amy Adams’ ridiculously spacious New York City brownstone and passes a television screen that is inexplicably playing the ending to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) in slow-motion, with Jimmy Stewart wrestling against the grip of an out-of-frame Raymond Burr....

Wi-Fi is an amazing technology that allows us to connect to the internet from our homes and businesses. However, it can be annoying when the signal is weak, and we don’t have enough internet to do what we want or need to do. A Wi-Fi extender or Wi-Fi repeater can help with this. Wi-Fi extender and Wi-Fi repeater are phrases used to describe some of the best wireless devices. It’s vital to notice that they have differences despite their similarity in sound....

For the curious amongst us, gleaning information from Marvel about a second season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier these last few months has pretty much meant running into a series of brick walls. Ask anyone involved about the future of the show, which examines the legacy of Captain America and super soldiers through the lens of the latest man to wield the shield, Sam Wilson, and you’d get the verbal equivalent of a shrug....

2021 will hopefully come along with some good news (though admittedly early signs aren’t looking great on that front). At the very least, however, it should come along with some interesting TV options. Due to COVID-19 production delays, there perhaps aren’t as many confirmed release dates for early 2021 as we’ve seen in years’ past. Still, there are plenty of exciting new and returning TV shows to keep you occupied throughout the chilly season....
