When you ideate on your next Laravel project, don't forget that feeling, where you are lost in cloud thinking most of the work has been built into the framework. One such task not built into the framework is the country selector and any other data-driven task/feature. The image below is the desired end result.   Components Below are the different components and how to create them. 1. Countries Table and Model : running the command below on a command-line tool from within a Laravel project should help achieve this. php artisan make:model Models\Country -m our Table can be created with the SQL below; CREATE TABLE `countries` ( `id` BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `iso2` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `created_at` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) COLLATE='utf8mb4_unicode_ci' ENGINE=InnoDB; 2.

Recently, I was required to develop a chrome extension for some executives. This plugin only targeted a few of our most visited websites. There was a lot of approaches to implement the extension and all our use cases. One particular challenge was trying to inject scripts from our own CDN into specific web pages. the scripts were required to interact with the page and all variables possible. Since there is a script isolation thing for Chrome Extensions, I felt this was a good challenge to take up in my spare time. Here is a sample of my content script. content.js document.onreadystatechange = function () { console.log("document state is:" + document.readyState); if (document.readyState == "complete") { let randAntiCache = Math.random().toString().split('.')[1]; let scriptURL4="http://localhost.test/testscript.js?v="+randAntiCache; let scriptnode4 = document.createElement("script"); scriptnode4.setAttribute("s...

It is peeve amazing how many hours get burnt while trying to resolve simple package dependency issues. I may be too dumb to proffer a lasting one-fits-all solution to all dependency issues, but I got this issue fixed in my own case. Problem Description: The python-axolotl library requires certain dependencies that are not properly managed when installing libraries via a command line's requirement.txt file. I got real help by reading through this link below, but this page might be more helpful when it comes to detailed instructions. Actual instructions: https://github.com/tgalal/python-axolotl Typical errors might look like the following: 1. In this case, missing library(s). Libraries needed for compiling some python resources. Unfortunately, http://aka.ms/vcpython27  has been decommissioned because Python2x is EOL. You can still get the VcPython27 from an archive at https://web.archive.org/web/20210106040222/download.microsoft.com/download/7/9/6/796EF2E4-801B-4F...
