I am sure this is one of those things that people probably asked many times. However, my research still
hasn't pointed me to a suitable solution. Basically I am tring to make my PHP applications (running on CakePHP, and SQLite) as painless as possible to deploy.
Are there any kind of tool or a package of Apache and PHP that self-contained and is very small and makes it super easy
to deploy an application for production use? So, the end user just has to run a single file and it will take care of
starting the web servers and launching the website. And once the window is closed it turns off the servers as well?
A solution that works on three major platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux) would be ideal.
Any ideas or options?
FYI coding in JAVA is not an option. CakePHP and EXTJS are all you need!
The best thing would be to just allow more options to let users pick the layout they like, it doesn't matter at this point really and it's not that hard to do as evidenced but all the 3rd party menus/tools that let you change it in lots of different ways.
If you give the users more options they'll be happy, take them away and you have a problem.
They could've done that the very next day or from the start but when Win11 came out, the MSN team was still rooted in the OS division and pushing for it's hooks into everything. That's why we have recommended and all the MSN feed stuff in the widget panel which you also couldn't turn off at the start.
Now that they've been pushed out, last I checked, all this MSN/web feed junk is finally getting the option to be turned off. tl/dr, it's not about coding ability, it's just dumb business decisions.
The console sales don't mean much like they used to. Sony tells you this themselves but you seem to miss it. They care more about MAUs and how many people they can milk each month than x number of consoles sold, often to the more casual COD, Madden or FiFA gamers who play little else.
Sony can't seem to port their games to the PC fast enough because they're not getting enough out of that 75 million console sales it seems. The traditional home console market has stagnated already, everyone knows it.
That is fair, I meant the comment somewhat whimsically and as such was a bit careless with the facts. Had I said either 2 or 4 that would be more defensible. SpaceX's Starship crashed 2 times during hop tests and 2 additional hop-test failures that while not exactly a "crash," still resulted in the total destruction of the test vehicle. Even in that example, it would still be fair for you to point out that Starship is a significantly more complex test vehicle and that SpaceX never crashed a simple rocket hop-test like this one.
I already admitted that I could have been clearer, but I also don't think it unreasonable to use the word "it" when referring to the subject of the article I am commenting on. I feel like it is an outlying read of my words to assume "it" meant SpaceX's total success. Like I said, I accept responsibility for the ambiguity.
