Surviving a heatwave using Google Cloud functions
This summer in Belgium has been a very hot one, and we're bound to have a couple more very warm weeks during the rest of summer.
I'm not the best at dealing with this kind of heat, and with the temperature inside hitting 28° C, I've been trying to get my home to cool down on a budget: I open the windows when the temperature outside is cooler than inside, and close them when it warms up. I've also noticed the sun hits the living room starting at around 7 in the morning, which means I should close the curtains right around that time to stop the tile floor from heating up.
From the start, I knew it was likely that I would forget to close the windows in time. I would need someone - or something - to remind me. I saw a talk about Google Cloud by Bram Van Damme at JSConf.be a while back, so I decided this could be a fun little project to play around with GCP.

How to handle front-end authorization using Laravel, Inertia and TypeScript original
Recently Jeffrey Way published a video titled "Frontend Authorization Brainstorming" on Laracasts. In that video, he shows three ways of passing authorization results to the front-end.
Currently I'm working on a big project that uses Inertia, React and TypeScript. In this blog post, I won't cover those things in detail, but I'd like to show you have we, using those technologies, pass authorization (and routes) to the front-end.
TypeScript With Laravel Mix
In a new post on his blog Sebastian De Deyne, multi disciplinary wizard at Spatie, explains how to set up TypeScript in a typical Laravel app.
In a recent Spatie project we decided to give TypeScript a shot for the business critical part of a new application. TypeScript provides static analysis to reduce the chance of introducing bugs, to have self-documenting code, and to improve our tooling (autocompletion!)Adding TypeScript support is pretty straight forward and is done in three steps: install the necessary dependencies, configure TypeScript, and finally configure Laravel Mix.
