I found this and Websites with HTML + Bootstrap + jQuery + PHP websites are compared to COBOL. Is this a good comparision? And what do you think about the statement: Transform HTML + Bootstrap + jQuery + PHP websites into modern React, Next.js, or Astro applications? I think this is not a good replacement for MPA.

Parsing a pdf is the most painful thing you can do

This is great. Very rudimentary in this state but the right direction. What php also needs is a good lib for NLP in different languages

The Island concept is really exactly what php is doing since decades

Nothing fancy new for a geographer. You do stuff like this in the first years in university

The answer is here on the HN Start-page: XSLT

Throw in php in the mix and you have a wonderful solution for templating with bullet proof standards:

// XML $xml_doc = new DOMDocument(); $xml_doc->load("file1.xml");

// XSL $xsl_doc = new DOMDocument(); $xsl_doc->load("file.xsl");

// Proc $proc = new XSLTProcessor(); $proc->importStylesheet($xsl_doc); $newdom = $proc->transformToDoc($xml_doc);

print $newdom->saveXML();

XSLT lacks functionality? No problem, use php functions in xslt: https://www.php.net/manual/en/xsltprocessor.registerphpfunct...

RTFM

Servus from Munich: as you may know: Munich is now the most unfriedly city in the world. This comes from a Mix of the Grantler, Mia San Mia and Schickeria culture. The first is the traditional grumpy nature of the typical Bavarian (especially Oberbayern). Sone say this is because of the Föhn wind (warm, dry downdraft that occurs on the leeward side of alps mountains) which can cause headache and paired with a massive beer consume even more. Mia San Mia and Schickeria is only typical in Munich: Many people from all over Germany moved to Munich in the 60s and 70s and earned money and build up an extreme snob culture seeing theirself as better as the rural people in Bavaria. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2048237/incredible-euro...

Germany is not the poster cild when it comes to digitalisation. Schools do not have tablets, public health uses fax, areas with poor Internet speed...

https://kanboard.org ist better for self hosting. Runs on any cheap LAMP

I have build something similar:https://devkram.de/markydown but with php. Easy for self hosting

Germany will finance it you will see

The reason is: Kids are uncool. No one without Kids want to make compromises in their lifestlye, what is necessary if you have Kids. Having kids is not a popular life goal in our days. What popular tv show or movie in the last years have you seen with kids and families in it? Literally 0. This was not the case in the 80s.

It can be more simple: Just use php for SSR

The best programmers were good in Latin at school

This will not work. Germany is totally driven by lawyers. No room for new ideas. Everybody is doing ass covering instead of working together building something great

This is why childs in Germany get a Schulbegleiter. A person that just goes with the child to school

So now I have to make sure uv is installed instead of python. Whar us this better? And python is available on almost any system

I wonder why undo redo is not a built in feature. It is such a core functionality

I brought it to the hn frontpage again. Is this worth getting some free month? ;-)

Does somebody know if there are any AI features in GIMP?

A good idea bit the visualisation ist wrong. I.e. the preview image will not be shown correctly

Why not ust use Laravel itself? You can put it on the cheapest webhosting plan and go for it

HTML seems to incubate some htmx things

"Knowing" CSS in these days is nearly impossible. There are so many language features. Don't get me wrong: CSS today is cool and nearly anything is possible (can Doom run wirh CSS by the way?), but I work as frontend dev for years and I have not the feeling I really know CSS in depth

Propably just a show to make the EU swing by helping the poor Ukraine

I wonder why the author did not mention PHP wgen he writes about the cool kids choosing the old technology. For me this is obvious: get a ultra cheap webhosting throw your PHP, HTML and frontend JS on and forget about server maintenance

A nice idea. But imagine you are a manger with a bunch of dates. This will not be very readable

Typescript is for me one of the most overengineered programming languages. Why did JS not follow the way python and php did? Integrate types in the main language but make it optional.
