🔥 When sending notifications with @laravelphp, there's a `when` method on each message type that can be used to optionally add lines or actions when some value is true. Very similar concept the the `when` method on the QueryBuilder and Collections.

Rest in Peace, Neil Peart. My first massive drumming influence and one of my biggest influences EVER. We've lost one of the greatest drummers who has ever lived. Rest easy Neil and thanks for all you brought to the drumming world. #RIPNeilPeart #TheProfessor

The adoption rate for Windows vs OSX is just shocking. There are people who just don't care about updates.

Why do systems like FoxPro database engines. No one supports them and it’s impossible to connect to them without serious converting.

Ta-da! From today, Slack has a new logo, the start of a general refresh of our look. A little simpler, a little clearer, and (we think) a little better. Read more about this change in the handy blog post we’ve written about it:

This is just fun to sit and watch the world burn. Or just Austria at least. Enjoy a service rep being able to rainbow table a password a lot quicker.
